I Called In Sick Today

[Theraflu 1,035]

Yeah...it seems like almost everyone has mostly given up on the sick thread. Oh well.

I've wanted to post, but I've had even less to add than usual, I think. My life is boring to me too.

[CaneBrain 95]

I adopted the cat. I need help thinking of names...right now there's only one possibility.Coworker: She's very cute.Speedz: Yeah, I think she looks like a little cheetah.Coworker: Cheeto?Speedz: Cheetah.So "Cheeto" is the only name in the running for now. She does kind of look like a cheeto.Yeah, it looked funny when I typed it, but it's really what he said.

I think Cheeto is an awesome name for a cat.I named my dog "Banzai" so you can judge if I should have any credibility on pet naming.

I've wanted to post, but I've had even less to add than usual, I think. My life is boring to me too.

Even when something interesting is brought up there's not much said anymore. The other day I talked about a guy who was talking to ghosts in my house, my racist stripper roommate, and some other random events. I'd imagine that at some point in this thread's history there would have been pages of funny discussions about those topics, but now we get a few comments and that's about it. And I'm probably guilty of the same thing. I'm sure eventually the thread will just drift off into bolivian.

Thanks...I do like it for now. Plus I love cheetos, so it works that way too.What kind of dog is it?

A pug. Wife and I figured---asian dog should have an asian name. Plus, he kind of acts like a kamikaze.

I think I'm adopting a cat today. She's been up for adoption from the local shelter at my hospital for almost a week now, and I snuck her home this weekend for a few nights while my cat-hating roommate was away. She's a lot of fun, really sweet, and waaaay too skinny, just the way I like 'em. She's a slightly rare orange female (most fully orange cats are male)...she has this crazy long thin body that makes her look like a cheetah when she's stalking her toys. Apparently she's a good mouser too, like most skinny cats, since at her foster home she caught a bunch and ripped them to shreds. She had a litter of kittens a few months ago, so Sal would like her, and her picture on the shelter site is suitable smug, so at least mk and wang would like her. I should know by tonight if I'm officially taking her...I just need to make the final decision, since it'll be a bit annoying to deal with for a few months before I get into my new place.I'll have to keep her boarded at work for 2 and a half more weeks, then have her live in my parents basement with me for a month, and then finally we'd be at my apartment. I feel like that would be a bit stressful for her, but in the end I guess it's only a couple more weeks stuck in a cage, and she might be stuck there anyways if nobody else adopted her. The other issue is that having a pet will make my life a bit harder in terms of the flexibility of my schedule and my opportunities in fostering kittens and dogs (it'll still be possible, I'll just have to be more picky), but I think that having a buddy will ultimately be good for me, since I'm living alone and will be spending a ton of time at home, studying. I might have to get her a friend at some point, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.The best thing about her is that she likes to snooze. I hit the snooze button about 10 times every morning (on average), and when she was here she would get up at each alarm, stretch, walk over, lie on my chest or next to me, purr, get pet, then hop away when I fell asleep. Then the alarm would go off again in 10 minutes and we'd repeat the process. It was actually helpful in getting me to wake up faster.

I like Cheeto!

I think she looks precious. She does have a little smug grin. My kids want a cat. I know there are a gazillion cats out there needing homes, but I'm pretty sure one pet is all we can handle.

Cute pup. Did you ever say what town your sis lived in? Lebanon, Mason?

Yeah, i've been pretty busy during the day and always lose my unwitty comments before I can post them and well, then I forget naturally.I am interested in how the hot roomies are doing though.

I just figured there would be more later. I suck at posting interesting stuff. So, I was intrigued by the racist stripper. What races does she hate, in particular? Also, so the Native American Shaman believed that there was indeed your fictitious ghost in the house? What did he do to rid the home of the fake apparition?Also, I've met a lot of racist strippers. I lived in Terre Haute, IN, though, so there are just a lot of racists there. It's appalling, really.

Thanks! He's named Luigi (that's what they called him at the Humane Society and he's 4, so I don't know if that was his name before, or what). I call him Weej or Weejie, mostly.My SIL lives in Maineville, OH.

I like it.

Age will do that to you, gramps. Though you have been doing an excellent job with the pics. Sorry again to Deb for calling her daughter horrible (if she saw that). Maybe I shouldn't bring it up again...

I am interested in how the hot roomies are doing though.

Not much to tell, really.

Tangelo? Pumpkin? Cheddar?I like Cheetoh. But, as you can see, I'd put an H on the end.

The name doesn't necessarily have to reflect her color. The H question is interesting...I'll think about that one...you may be right.

Nah, I can't tell the stories now that I basically begged to be asked about them. It was nothing earth shattering.

Yep, that would be the exit where the bridge is I was just at. I work just south of their and live a little to the north. Oh, and funny about the cat sleeping on speedzy. The 2 cats we have, Stanley and Samantha are 14 and Sam is prettymuch my cat. If i'm home she's on my lap and sleeps with me. If I lay on the couch she loves to just lay on my belly and napbut last night I woke up with her in the middle of the night that way. I rolled over and woke up later with her sleeping on my side,kinda slumped over hanging on each side of me. Weird. I visit the Animal Bingo place next to work all the time now and see the puppies though and it's killing me but not as much as Deb if I brought one home.Also, avsfan whoever it is has really been doing me alot of good with my workouts. I'm down to 168 pretty steady now and before long my guns will make TommyGavin wince in shame. If I ever actually see Sal in person I'll let him touch them but i'm saving the abs for Ron.

You're right. This thread is dying. I have actually spent a considerable amount of time thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure I know why. I mean, it's a lot of things, but more than anything:We know each other too well, anymore. Each one of us has heard every validation and criticism from every regular poster so many times that it's not new or exciting or, in many cases, worth offering anymore. I'm as good an example as anyone. You guys know what my stories are going to be like, because they're all the same. The circumstances change, but I've got a handful of foibles that, no matter where the story begins, lead me down the same road to the same tragicomic destination. By the same token, you've seen me flip out and get fired up about the same stupid shit -- Flushgarden is a humorless faggot, etc. -- so many times that you wouldn't blink (nor be expected to) if I did it one more time. It's all the same. That's the thing. It's all the same. I imagine our situation is analgous to being in a longterm relationship. No matter how exciting and interesting it is at first, there comes a time... the excitement fades; it becomes routine. We know each other too well, anymore. We know what's coming, and there's no reason to expect it to change. Sure, there's value in knowing what everyone's up to. I am following Speedz's racist stripper shaman roommates stories quite closely, but in the past there would have been a two-week back-and-forth during which we told each other how awesome he was, and made jokes, and thought of funny situations for the future. But we've done that. Shake's not going to tell me I'm funny. I'm not going to make sure Speedz is aware how fascinated I am. At some point, when comfort replaces the desire to impress and be accepted, people just stop trying. I dunno, I've been kinda busy lately, too, though, so I could be wrong.Wang

[Randy Reed 0]

It's just a lull. It's happened before and it will happen again but you never need to go back more than a few pages to find funny stuff.I would like to know what happened to LG and where PiddleSteve are though.

[Tactical Bear 3]

It's just a lull. It's happened before and it will happen again but you never need to go back more than a few pages to find funny stuff.

Or this. I'm fatalistic and dramatic by nature, and today has been one of the more frustrating days in recent memory. Hopefully I'll be able to spew some hatred and rage in here later tonight. Fair warning: I might write close to 10,000 words.

You have to now! My interest is re-piqued.

We've had some similar routine-ness in the army thread. I'm still there. I'm not going anywhere. I sometimes wonder if it will be just me left in a few years.

Well, we could always try anal.

[Tactical Bear 3]

I still think there is value in this place, which is why I am still here, and still contributing. If I were just holding on -- like a bored couple suffering from emotional inertia -- I would probably leave. But I've always held on too long in relationships (when they, you know, last more than a few weeks), so who knows. Maybe that's built into my psyche.

Well, we could always try anal.

I have never been really all that intrigued by anal. When a girl wants to spice things up, I invariably think: "Maybe, instead of getting one blowjob today I will get two. Two blowjobs would be pretty sweet. Also: tossing a roadie or two my way wouldn't hurt, babe."

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Is it a fat hairy one? Hahahaha. I'm not sure why, but that cracked me up.

makes you think of pussy, and not the cat variety?

heading to cubs/sox at wrigley wheeeeeee go sox, although i really don't care this year cuz both teams are poo.

I saw they were playing a day game and immediately thought of you. Jeez I need a life. Go Sox

Yeah...it seems like almost everyone has mostly given up on the sick thread. Oh well.

it will always be my internet home

Also, avsfan whoever it is has really been doing me alot of good with my workouts. I'm down to 168 pretty steady now and before long my guns will make TommyGavin wince in shame. If I ever actually see Sal in person I'll let him touch them but i'm saving the abs for Ron.

I will wash my shirt on your stomach, then tongue dry your abs.

I would like to know what happened to LG and where PiddleSteve are though.

Speedz ran them off, and Strat too

Well, we could always try anal.

I tried that in genpop many years ago when I was king. I couldn't walk right for a month

[speedz99 145]

I rolled over and woke up later with her sleeping on my side, kinda slumped over hanging on each side of me.

That's a uniquely lazy cat you have there.What I liked so much about Cheetoh was that she would be up by my head, purring, kneading, etc, but once I started drifting off she'd go down to my feet or somewhere else. I NEED MY SPACE.

I visit the Animal Bingo place next to work all the time now and see the puppies though and it's killing me but not as much as Deb if I brought one home.

I think a puppy would really spice things up around the Reed household.

Yeah, this is all pretty true. Although I do still want to impress.

Please do.

Well, we could always try anal.

I think that's actually how the thread started. Somehow we've slowly made our way to missionary-only.

[Randy Reed 0]

Will you look like this?

Nah, I wish. More like a white Lionel Ritchie.

[Sal Paradise 57]

I'm sure eventually the thread will just drift off into bolivian.

well they do make delicious coffee, so that might not be so bad.oh, and cocaine too.

Not much to tell, really. Nah, I can't tell the stories now that I basically begged to be asked about them. It was nothing earth shattering.

way to help keep the thread going there champ.I haven't been funny in over a year, so I'll have to take some of the blame. plus, I haven't gotten laid in a long, long time, so there's none of that reporting to do either (you know, since I'd screw it up somehow).

[Nikki_N 17]

Well, we could always try anal.

I'm in!

makes you think of pussy, and not the cat variety?

No. That's not funny, that's just gross.

Nah, I wish. More like a white Lionel Ritchie.

A white Lionel Ritchie with ripped arms and abs, you mean.

I like cocaine. After doing it for only one day, I realized how much I liked it and knew that I could never do it again. Damn, I did that like 20 years ago and I still yearn for that feeling. See...cocaine..BAD.I get laid as much as I please, but that's not interesting to you guys. Neither is my girl on girl action. I've got some fantastic girl on girl stories.

So I just went to refill my cup of Sugar-Free Cherry Limeade and I finished off the pitcher. Normally I just make more right away. This time, the spout was dripping and instinctually, I licked it, to keep the red stuff from dripping on the floor. I said out loud, to no one, because I'm the only one home (besides the dog who was in the other room), "Great. Now I have to wash that." So, what would you do? Would you wash it? Or would you just make more sugar-free cherry limeade and put the pitcher back in the fridge? Or would you put the empty and saliva spouted pitcher in the fridge?

[Sal Paradise 57]

I would ask where one could get more of this sugar free cherry lime-aid because it sounds DELICIOUS.also, here's a question for everybody: why is over freaking half of the news stories on every god damn major news site in video form? is it that hard to write an article? is it that hard for the general public to read one? I fucking hate that. pisses me off every time. "oh hey! that sounds like an interesting story! wonder what it's about? OH. great. a fucking video. no thank you 30 seconds of load time, then some ridiculous commercial, then putting ear phones in, then waiting until the god damn end to figure out what the damn story is about."perturbed.

this is a thread full of guys. The thought to wash it never entered into any of our minds. We drink out of the jug, always. And I'm not even "that guy", I mean, I always but the seat down, refill the toilet paper and always pick up all my clothes and shoes. Hell, I don't have to pick them up because I never toss them around. Plus, I like laundry and vacuuming, but yeah, drinking out of the container, not an issue

I agree with you and Mexico's commentary on you. Interesting.
