Not so Random Friday Thougts

[jdabasin]

the coffee at work is seriously making me consider quitting. I've been here 6 years and I think it's time.

dreamt about Jackson Hole last night...here is Barnballs getting some at Da Hole.
summer is gonna suck.
:confused:

[sandytheskier]

I have been thinking the same thing lately. Just drop it all, because it really isn't that important in the whole scheme of things and move to jackson so I can ski, climb, and bike. I get scared of being stuck in a boring, unhappy rut.

Yep. Living it. Hating it.

Facing life-altering decisions really blows, tho. :(

You don't have kids, do you?

[Jiffy]

Nope!
Soon enough probably.
Guess its a good thing i timidly entered the shallow end of the pool, instead of flipping off the 10m platform.
Arnt kids adaptable though?
And wont their lives be exponetially better, if your happier with yours?
Just looking at my lifes unknowns through rose-colored lenses!

[EPSkis]

Yeah, everyone adapts. Especially when it's done out of necessity. Exponentially better? I'm no Dr. Phil, but I'd have to say "no". I've always been a firm believer in the 2 parent system.

My rose-colored glasses must have gotten lost in my travels. My current eyewear is more earth-toned. Brown, if you will. :rolleyes:

[jdabasin]

I still think that the grizzly bear would be no match for a great white shark in 3 feet of water.

[Jiffy]

im with ya now.
so much to learn, so much to learn....

Some of them are so lopsided you have to wonder how they came up with them. A lion vs a 14ft croc? C'mon - who didn't know how THAT one would finish?

ah, sounds like someone crapped on your glasses, gotta get out there and clean 'em off.

Ahhh, yes - therein lies the dilemma.

[CS]

Is it just me, or is Barnballs throwing out the "O" face?

By the way, I think I had a dream about you last night. Don't worry, it was dirty. :cool:

Hey, flipping off the 10M is fun!!
I've actually considered making the decision to NOT have kids. Does that make me un-maternal? Or strange?
Edit: Or, when I'm 35 and still not married, maybe having a child on my own.

Yeah, maybe, yeah!
I have lived here my whole life and sometimes feel the need for a new town, that's all.

Oh, and about that dream.. I am glad it was just a dream.:p

I don't think there's anything wrong w/ not having kids. People act really freaky when you say this, especially women...like they think something is wrong w/ you. But I don't feel that way. You should just keep your options open.

That said, having met you in person from what I gather I think you would make an excellent mom. Very energetic, warm and fun!

[phUnk]

I've heard they are going to pass a law that would no longer require women to have children. Women would also no longer be required to feel wrong, badly, un-feminine or incomplete because they do not plan to have children.

;)

[ornithoidian]

IMHO; the decision not to have kids is really quite a good one. the way I see it, having children decreases the amount of time you could be skiing. and that, I find to be morally reprehensible.

[Buster Highmen]

You know those dolls that close their eyes when you lay them down? With what do they weight the back of the eyeball?

[Tippster]

Unless you're absolutely POSITIVE you want to have kids - don't.

They are noisy, messy, smelly, expensive, fuck up your free time, break shit, and test your sanity every moment they're awake. You are completely responsible for their physical and mental well-being, and they will dominate your thoughts and conversation - boring the hell out of your no-kid-havin' friends.

Mine are also the greatest thing that ever happened to me besides meeting my wife. I wouldn't trade them for the world. You're a spancered skier? Pffft. I'm a Pappi.

However... just hopping on a plane to go get hammered in Amsterdam is no longer an option.

[acostiga]

just got back from a two L-I-T lunch at nick and tony's. damn, they were pint glass-sized. it's gonna be hard to sit in this fucking cubicle until quittin' time.

Thanks Sprite :) And having met you, I know you're an excellent mother!
I have to agree with you there regarding your first comment. Good one. I agree women shouldn't have to feel bad, or odd, or strange for not wanting children.
I think I want them, but then again I know this couple who travel once a year for a month to these exotic locations...they don't have kids, but a lot of people they call their children. How cool would that be - experiencing a different area of the world once a year.....not to mention skiing all the time!!
I'm always keeping my options open......it was just a thought! :)

Tippster - good point. Well put.

first verse, 'find an ugly woman' by cash money and marvelous

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Man, find an ugly woman, and make her your wife
I mean ugly, so bad you can't look in her face
So fat she can't go down and tie her shoe lace
Now the reason that I say this, is simple and plain
All the pretty girls, man, they just play games
With your mind and your time, they're not with it
Cause if you ain't got no money, then you might as well (hit it)
But with an ugly girl, man, they'll simply adore ya
Like you can mess around and they'll still be there for ya
Cause you're all she has, and you're all she can get
So run out and find yourself an ugly chick
They'll be honest all the time, so boy, don't pursue her
Cause she's ugly as hell, nobody'll talk to her
So what she's a (bat) and a Godzilla (creature)
But it's not how she looks, it's how the girl (treats ya)
So if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Man, find an ugly woman and make her your wife
Cause pretty girls'll have you cryin the blues
But when a ugly girl leaves (she ain't nothin to lose)

Couldn't have said it better myself.

'cept I never knew you could just hop a plane to Amsterdam to get hammered. :rolleyes:

You obviously were never ummm... "impaired," between jobs, had a like-thinking buddy, and a brand new Visa Platinum card in your pocket...

Needless to say, it only happened once... and no, I don't remember much of those 2.5 days.... :eek:

The Cops Are Chasing Me in a WHAT?


May 14, 10:16 am ET

ROME (Reuters) - If you are thinking about speeding on Italian highways this year, think twice. You might find yourself being chased by a Lamborghini.
Italian police took possession Friday of a sleek, 500 horsepower, two-seater Lamborghini Gallardo, which can hit a top speed of 185 miles per hour.

The sports car, painted in the police's distinctive blue and white colors, comes complete with a flashing blue light on the roof and will initially patrol the Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway -- a road notorious in Italy for wild driving.

The Lamborghini will also be used to transport human organs for emergency operations.
