7826 - I'm not getting into no plane, fool.

[scottobear]

Explained to ST as to why I don't like the idea of dating inside the workplace. Pretty simple, really... I have never seen it work with people of my personality type. I know of exactly one couple that met at work that has gone on to be a great pairing for years and years (GrayP & Katt), but they're the exception that proves the rule. Besides... folks need time apart as well as together... it'd try any relationship for folks to end up living in the same place and working the same place... fatigue is bound to set in. Plus, if a breakup happens, or if one partner gets fired... the whole dynamic goes to poop.

The rains came back last night, and they haven't left yet. Water on glass is a good sound.

Wilma is a Cat5 right now, gusting to 212 mph, and a barometric pressure of 884 MB (lowest recorded!) Yikes.

You fit in with: Humanism Your ideals mostly resemble that of a Humanist. Although you do not have a lot of faith, you are devoted to making this world better, in the short time that you have to live. Humanists do not generally believe in an afterlife, and therefore, are committed to making the world a better place for themselves and future generations. 0% scientific. 50% reason-oriented.

I'd say that's pretty spot on, though I do like science quite a bit.

Moment of Lyric: (source - quicktime movie)

It's 6 AM and the sun is getting high
He picks up the mail from the slot
He feels the rush of excitement as he holds it in his hand
Another love note no one got

Some postman is grooving to all our love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Some postman is grooving to all our love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Gonna cry
Gonna cry

It's noon now and all the mailboxes have been emptied
And all the letters are inside
He counts them, he checks them, he looks for clues and finds
The ones with hearts on the outside

Some postman is grooving to all our love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Some postman is grooving to all out love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Gonna cry
Gonna cry
Gonna cry yeah yeah

Nineteen ninety threeeeee
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Holding onto a package meant for a distant lover
Thought it would be there overnight
She waits and she cries and she thinks he does not love her
The postman holds on oh so tight

Some postman is grooving to all our love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Some postman is grooving to all our love letters
Some postman is gonna cry
Gonna cry yeah

You (you)
Crushed (crushed)
Paper hearts
Stole (stole)
And sold (sold)
And ripped apart
Your promise was sent but you never delivered to me
Some postman you turned out to be

Ulysses S. Grant You scored 79 Wisdom, 39 Tactics, 71 Guts, and 58 Ruthlessness! Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general. Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H. Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that rank. My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 98% on Unorthodox You scored higher than 2% on Tactics You scored higher than 95% on Guts You scored higher than 84% on Ruthlessness Link: The Which Historic General Are You Test written by dasnyds on Ok Cupid, home of the 32-Type Dating Test

GO AWAY WILMA!!!!!! Is RS interested in dating, or was this Cawffee Tawk?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

As long as wilma stays associated with flintstone, rather than "rubble" I suspect it'll be ok.

I suspect it was slight interest disguised as Cawfee Tawk, but only because she's having issues with her bf at home right now. She and I would make a horrible romantic pairing... What she wants and what I want are pretty different things than the opposite number could provide.

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid Wilma's going for the rubble. Dang! Different wants + coworker=TROUBLE. Or a few brief exciting magical days followed by a resounding crash, which is, I suppose, TROUBLE.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yeah not my thing... I think she's looking for a haven to break it off from her current mate.

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I've been a haven before...it's no good.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yeah, not what I'm into.

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

Gawd! Another frigging hurricane! Can you believe it?
Oh, that's right, you are in denial...well budd..time to get to deaisle in degrocerie stow and get some foodies besides just Newtie's.
Batten down dehatches Scotto.
Why can't they call the next one Xavier?
Why the greek alphabet? Huh?
((Hugs))

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Getting my staples of peanut butter, water and bread for the weekend!

No fridge needed for those, and *tasty*!

Xavier is a great name for a hurricane! Or Xerxes! or Xanthus!

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

Yes! Any of those..crap ...those people are so uncreative.
Who decides this? I mean, can't science be creative?
Hmmm. Peanut butter? Good protein but have you ever eaten it melty in the microwave..nice.

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

Oooo peanut butter on a nice English muffin...yeah.
I am so having this for breakfast...maybe with honey on top.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ah! you've hit it on the nose! perfect to a T!

With a banana on the side!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

MmmMMmmelty peanut butter is wonderful... I love it on hot toast.

I agree... though some folks might have trouble with the X-names pronounciation-wise.

I just thought of a great X-name. Xeno. I've always dug that moniker.

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

If this was a female name why not call her Xena...destroyer princess?
Ok, that is good for today. I am going back to bed to catch some XXX..uhhh I mean ZZZZ.
Heeee!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Xanadu!

Woo.. I like the idea of a little XXX before some ZzZz!

[kellwood.livejournal.com]

you look super sexy in those photos!
umm... i mean... goodmorning brotherbear ;)

"associated with flintstone, rather than "rubble" I suspect it'll be ok."

You made a funny! :D

So, the top two paths go right over my parents. My dad is stubborn... I always ask "so do you have any supplies --- *just in case*?? Every time he says 'What for??!" :P they moved further inland in their city, though...like 25 min. drive from the beach, rather than right on the water, and "nearer" the beach. Still, I always think stuff is going to blowup.

so, if one of the two bottom paths turns out to be on target for you (nooo!) , will it soften what your city gets because it's hitting the opposite coast from you first? Or no? I've only been through one hurricane and have lots ot learn. :0)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

nyuk nyuk! ;)

I've been singing that "ai-ai-ai-Vil-mah" song from the flintstones all morning, because I stupidly free associate that way. :)

How hard is it for your papa to pick up an extra couple of cans of beans and some water-jugs? mosdt folks I know make a party of it, and are thrilled for the excuse to do a little cooking on the hibachi on thier day off, even if the power goes out (as long as nobody is in any real scary coconut-chucking danger)
