    Time to get dressed, take stock of what I have, and go acquire what I'm missing.

    Every so often I'm reminded that my SO and I don't have an anniversary and so have never celebrated one. I'm also reminded how I don't think it's that weird. Is it weird?

    Saw her name mentioned on some link on CNN or something and I have to ask - is Kate Upton famous for anything more than being a female that can fill out a swimsuit? She is not bad looking I suppose but she is no Dorothy Lamour or Carole Lombard in their prime/before untimely death.
     
  5. She is also adept at using, discarding and disrespecting star athletes.

  6. I've never had a Facebook account. There was one time, I was 3 bottles of wine deep and slurring. My friend convinced me to go through it.

    I started the process. Got to the terms of agreement. DRUNK me couldn't agree to that shit. Sober me woke up and for the first time ( in a while ) sober me agreed with drunk me's decision.

    High fived myself.

    Interesting. No clue about that stuff personally. I was under the impression the only reason she was famous is that she wears a skimpy two piece or body paint and people react "OMG! She is a female in her early twenty's and has breasts." Have not seen anything yet to change my opinion on that.

    I came across a kid's video (on Fark, I think) where he had asked Upton out to his senior prom.
    She at first had said yes, (my guess was for publicity) but then she reneged.
    The guy ended up asking another model, went with her, and they posted the video on YT.
    Even though the new model did it for the publicity, she had a good attitude about it.

    Upton just came across in a bad light.

    This is about all I know of her.

    i have once again confirmed that the treefort has a floor on both levels.
    this may not sound like a big deal.
    you might think---what? it's a floor.
    but it was invisible for the most part a couple weeks ago.
    now it's back.
    the objects that define the floor as floor that can be seen as quite different.
    it is a fine state of affairs.

    this is not to say things are done.
    o no it's not.
    there is still stuff in strange places.
    but there is a floor clearly visible beneath them.
    and for the moment that is excellent.

    We made 11 pints of dilly beans this canning adventure and made tentative plans for another one soon. Peaches, I think.

    So went to Florida for a "vacation." My mother passed out after less then an hour at Universal Studio and had to be flown back to to Oregon. She's fine, just couldn't deal with the heat... at 0900. I manged to meet up with my group in Ft Meyers for the last part of the second week. Turns out my GF's friend is a complete tight wad, wouldn't pay for anything and when out she left 50 cent tips on $75 checks. I put an extra $10 in one night to make up for her and she took it out... and kept it. Who the fuck does that? She wanted us to may an extra $1.50 because we used more laundry soap then they did. And no these people are no poor, they have a way more money then I do.

    Anyway back in Mexico for a day and I had a head on with a drunk in a VW. Blew my truck completely up. They never found the hood. had to crawl through though back window.

    Yikes man, rough stretch! Glad you are ok enough to tell us about it.

    I can't stand poor tippers. I'm fine with people being frugal, but what you described would drive me insane.

    Yeah we bought a 20 pack of these "oxyclean pac's" where you just throw one in and run the washer. She counted (who would count this?) and we used three more then they did and she wanted paid the extra. Meanwhile they're staying in my timeshare/condo free. And again WHO the fuck takes part of the tip you leave and pockets it? That's nuts. I told "M" never again, you want to travel with that crazy bitch you're on your own.

    The tip thing bothers me most. She was basically stealing from the poor server. Not cool IMO.


    If someone is counting their pennies because they need to, I totally respect that. But I hate it when people feel the need to account for every penny of shared expenses and divide them exactly equal. If I am worried about splitting the dinner bill down to the last penny for fear of me paying an extra $3 of your tab, then I probably don't like you enough to be eating out with you in the first place. :p
