Does anyone wanna hang out in this thread and not talk about the new pope?

[JimmyJazz]

:shrug:

[StopTheMorans]

1. no

[JimmyJazz]

7. then go away....

:P

[JimmyJazz]

50. I was only kidding - you know I love ya!

:loveya:

[skypilot]

2. HI!!!!!

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

11. Hi skypilot!

How are you? What are your plans for lunch?

[skypilot]

15. I'm going to eat at my desk...

...while not reading about the new pope. I have a couple nice pieces of grilled chicken, some broccoli rabe, and some nice and garlicy angel hair pasta with pesto.

[JimmyJazz]

29. Oh YUMMY! I'm going to skip lunch and be extra hungry for

my dinner with LynneSin. We're having sushi :9

[LynneSin]

49. They better have the fricking fatty tuna tonight

or we're finding a new place to go too.

Oooh, I'll have to run home right after work. I left the tequila at my place

[skypilot]

53. After all these years...

...I'm still trying to work up the courage to try sushi. There are at least FOUR sushi places within a few blocks of my apartment. It's beckoning me. But I'm still a wuss.

[LynneSin]

58. You live in Philly - come down to Wilmington and join us tonight

I promise to be gentle I'm a fussy eater, but if you try the Spicy Tuna you'll be in heaven!

[skypilot]

65. Thanks for the invite but...

...I'm staying in tonight. I took a couple days off from work and had myself a long weekend. Fun's over. Plus "The Amazing Race" is on tonight and I love that show. Some other time, though.

[LynneSin]

67. JJ, he's ditching us....I'm going to cry now

there will be tears in my sushi

:cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Yes, PLEASE!

AHHHHHHHHHHH.


Hi, how you doing today? I heard you came out of a closet?

[JimmyJazz]

6. I did in fact come out of the closet today...three times so far.

First for paper clips (which I posted about), but later for a legal pad and after that for some post-it notes. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. You wild woman!

:o

[Richardo]

4. Me!

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

5. So - what's your high score on minesweeper?

:hi:

[Richardo]

21. I don't remember - pretty fast, tho...

...on the 99 level.

What's a good time? (Not a sex thread) :evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

24. On this computer, my high score is 133.

:o

[Bok_Tukalo]

8. And why not

Today I woke up with severe chest pain. I thought maybe I slept wrong and went work where it got progressively worse til there came a point that I couldn't hardly breath. Freaked me out a bit so I came home and laid down. Still hurts but not as bad.

[JimmyJazz]

13. Darlin' - you might want to get that checked out...

chest pain is nothing to fool with. I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[progmom]

59. um

get thee to a doctor!

[Bok_Tukalo]

72. No way.

Doctors are for girlie men. I'm OK. Just need to relax.

[progmom]

79. ok

but now i am going to obsess over your health. you will have to check in with me hourly to assure me that you are indeed still ok. you'll probably give me an ulcer. :P

[Bok_Tukalo]

85. Everything is fine

Just need to relax. No need for ulcers or concern. It's all that rage/joy/depression/elation/ennui/motivation/change/stagnation I keep bottled up inside so I can go through life like Mr Spock.

[progmom]

87. let it out!

Girls love boys who can show their feelings!

[Bok_Tukalo]

90. Yes

Which is what makes it all the more rewarding for those that I do. Why pass it out to everyone that comes along? Save for those who deserve it.

[hippiechick]

9. Please oh please oh please ?!?!?

I'm spending two days at an Advanced Excel Seminar ... and debating if I want to blow the second day off and go for a hike instead.

It's GORGROUS out and I really resent the hell out of having to sit here and be blah-blah'ed at about cells and formulas for 16 hours.

But I know my boss is going to want to see my little 'certificate of completion' which they only give out at the very end of the 2 days.


Dilemmas, dilemmas .... what should I do ?

[bertha katzenengel]

12. Dilemma? Nah... get the certificate for hanging out at DU.

Besides, you might learn something you don't already know about Excel. (I did say "might.") :hi:

[hippiechick]

14. Good advice !

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

10. Yes. Mrs. V. and I are going to the Outer Banks next month and we

can't wait! :bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

16. And you will post pictures, won't you?

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

18. Well, of course.

D., was the 25th one of the days that you could make it? I've lost track. (Please say yes...)

[JimmyJazz]

22. I think I am available on the 25th!

Yeah. :bounce:

You'll have to let me know what I can bring. :D

[bertha katzenengel]

28. Yahoo!

You know, I have no idea how to coordinate what everyone should bring, besides BYOB. I'll figure it out eventually, and letcha know!

[miss_kitty]

19. you know-he sounds as if he's a carbon copy of the last one.

yet everyone was all "Don't you say nuthin' BAAAAD about my Pope, even though I'm gay and he called my nature an abomination, I will still go to the mat for him" and now they're all "Hoo boy. We're fucked now." well they're half right. They were fucked before, too.

[miss_kitty]

32. Hey! I just saw the word 'not' in the subject line

OooopS!

:silly:

[JimmyJazz]

56. That's why I changed the subject on you!

:pals: :loveya: :loveya:

BTW - I'm listening to Global-A-Go-Go RIGHT NOW :D

[JimmyJazz]

33. So Miss Kitty - have you downloaded any good tunes lately?

I'm kinda thinking I might like to get my hands on some Macy Gray...are you familiar with her? Do you like her? Do you have any recommendations? :D

[miss_kitty]

43. yes I like Macy

And No I have no recommendations-just that DJ mix site I gave you-I suggest the remix of KLF's 'The Rites of Mu' and the very danceable trancy sort of 'Ibiza Revisited'.

[JimmyJazz]

52. Thanks! I need to expand my horizons a bit.

I'm getting bored :(

[progmom]

76. i'm working on stuff for you too

i'll have it on friday :hi:

[Left Is Write]

20. Well...I'm not Catholic.

I understand the concerns of liberal Catholics and even others who are not Catholic, but Pope Benedict XVI's tenure is unlikely to be long anyway.

So...what should we talk about? My lunch? Good idea! What should I have? Waffles? Tuna salad? Light Caesar salad with leftover mesquite chicken? Egg beaters? Raisin Bran? PBJ? Ham and Monterey Jack on whole wheat?

[Bok_Tukalo]

23. How about a cucumber sandwich?

Always good.

[Left Is Write]

30. Excellent idea.

But I have no cucumbers. :(

[Bok_Tukalo]

54. No cucumbers???

Oh man, I get all nervous when I'm down to my last two in the fridge.

[Left Is Write]

73. Nope. Not a one. I have broccoli, green beans, yellow squash,

three kinds of peppers, lettuce, prewashed salad mix, carrots, onions, and garlic. No cucumbers.

[Bok_Tukalo]

74. Stir fry!

Colorful, crisp, and oh so delicious.

[Left Is Write]

77. Maybe for supper.

I don't want to go to the trouble for lunch.

It's a great idea for supper, though. I can steam some rice and slice up the leftover chicken too.

[Bok_Tukalo]

84. I'm drooling here with my ramen noodles.

I think I'll make potato enchilladas tonight just to make up for it.

[the Princess]

25. How hot is this guy????????????

SWOOOOON!!!!!!!! LOL

[the Princess]

34. Or this guy.............

[the Princess]

37. Or this guy...............

[the Princess]

40. Or this guy.............

[the Princess]

44. And Just for you JJ.............

LOL

[JimmyJazz]

57. *snarf*

I'm taking my pic home to scan it just for you :D

[the Princess]

91. You're gonna make me cry aren't you?

:cry:

[JimmyJazz]

36. Tasty!

tastier:

[the Princess]

47. oooooooooooooo

YUMMY!

[miss_kitty]

51. no contest whatsoever. TastiEST TastiEST, my dear

and I didn't even look after the first 'choice'.

[JimmyJazz]

62. Hands Down!

No wait! Hands Up...wait, that doesn't make sense...oh, fuck it!

[progmom]

26. uh huh

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

38. I'm not going to leave this thread for another two or three days!

How 'bout you?

[progmom]

55. hold me

:hug:

[JimmyJazz]

69. But of course!

:hug:

Joe was looking to give you a hug, too - he's a few posts over yours right now.

[progmom]

81. i love that photo of Joe

You're slowly converting me, you know? I'm not usually one for men shorter than me...

[JimmyJazz]

82. Hot is Hot!

[texas1928]

27. Yeah, It is great he was elected.

But I do not want to read all the bashing threads, when he has not had a chance to do anything yet.

So How are you doing today Ms. Jazz?

[JimmyJazz]

39. I'm peachy, Love. How are you?

I could use a cute puppy pic though - if you are up for it. :)

[texas1928]

89. Sorry got busy at work. Here you go.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

31. So, how's you?

:bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

41. I am swamped at work trying to get ready for a long weekend.

How about yourself?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

66. Working on a social history essay...

...but DU is distracting me :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. Go look at the Chicago pics. Right.Now!!!!!

:rofl:

[JimmyJazz]

42. I already did!

Chicago has some really hot men :9

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Aye.

:7

[LynneSin]

45. Tonight at dinner - no pope talk ok

:D

[JimmyJazz]

60. It's a deal!

Can we talk about other DUers? :silly:

[LynneSin]

61. As long as it's nothing bad about me

:P

Hey, Skypilot is from Philly - I sent him an invite for tonight. He's never had sushi and is trying to work up the courage to have some

[JimmyJazz]

64. That would be really cool!

:D

[sexybomber]

48. Yes. Anybody here want to help me with a paper?

It's on medical ethics, specifically the dispensation of scarce medical resources and priority of care:

Topic #2: Develop and defend a view of the "Fair Innings Argument." In your paper you should:

blah

blah

blah



Maybe if I paid more attention in class, it wouldn't be so hard :shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

68. you lost me right after the word "ethics"

that word does not compute with me :P

[sexybomber]

70. Damn.

That makes two of us. It's a little ironic that I'm going to print out a paper on ethics on paper I stole from the library :D

[progmom]

75. now THAT made me laugh out loud

:rofl:

[sexybomber]

80. Glad I could help!

:D

[purr]

63. I got crabs

Its called an Arrow Crab. Nifty little thing to watch.. hes here catching some brine shrimp I just fed them.

[More Than A Feeling]

71. How about those Bulls and Sox?

Think they have a chance to win a series in the playoffs with Curry and Deng out for the season?

Will the White Sox keep winning, or will 'smallball' be a flop?

[Dora]

78. What's a "pope"?

Just kidding, somewhat.

I've returned from maternity leave, and I'm a bit glad to back in the Lounge. I've been on a no-media-whatsoever hiatus, and I have not missed the news, newspapers, television, or the internet.

Now that I'm back at work and surfing (sigh) and seeing what hasn't changed, I wonder: how in the hell am I supposed to raise my beautiful baby boy in this godawful crazy world? There is nowhere safe from the madness.

[JimmyJazz]

83. Congratulations on your new baby!

:toast:

And, as the mother of two young girls, I know your fears only too well. :hug:

[Dora]

88. Thanks! I hope we can afford homeschooling...

Thanks, Jimmy!

As the daughter of avowedly liberal activist teachers, it breaks my heart to think our schools are so busted that I may have to homeschool, but even my mother (who teaches in a top-ranked College of Ed) thinks homeschool may be the best choice for people like us these days.

we must teach our children well...

[ralps]

86. Sure, It's a beautiful day here.

I'm going to have to do laundry this afternoon.:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:
