20. Okay, okay, I confess-
it was me! And it was a very delightful conversation for me, also, Dean! Too bad I had to get off the phone when I did.

Big surprise, huh? Now, if I could just scrape up the plane fare to Connecticut, it would be all the neater!

13. Does your ear hurt?
It might be that I press the phone too hard against my head or something, but geeze, if I'm on the phone for more than about 10 minutes, my ear starts to hurt. :eyes:

15. Yahoo Messenger works the same way.
And doesn't play more havoc with your phone bill than you already deal with.

17. kind of interesting
but it doesn't look like I would get much use from it. It seems like the person you are talking to has to have it too. Besides, I don't have a mic for my pc.

Guess I'll just stick with WALD - my long distance bill rarely goes over $10/mo.

16. Nah. I'm used to having marathon telephone conversations.

I've been on the phone for as long as five hours at a clip. Good thing my long-distance plan is so great!

18. Well,
What do you feel is the viability for sale of excess cereal grain production in the EU, and if so, should I plant soybeans or rape seed?

The new Lord of the Rings movie. It rocked.

28. I'm sorry, of course not
it was just this:

Projection- the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects; especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety

29. Whatever the case, I'm not looking to hurt anyone!

As one whose heart is little more than a mass of scar tissue, I would never deliberately manipulate another person's emotions just for the "pleasure" of hurting them. People who do that are selfish, immature, and just plain sick!

30. Well, I don't know about you, Dean,
but after talking to you for an hour, I'm more than a little interested in finding a way to meet in person. It's not like we live 3,000 miles apart or something, although we both have the same problem having to do with the lack of the necessary green paper.

When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind.
You were on my mind! ;)

35. I live in not near CT
I could walk to Mohegan Sun Casino from where I live and I am just under an hour from Hartford. You probably thought I lived in Boston because I hang with Boston DUers....

36. Oh god, Mohegan Sun!
Their New Year's Eve show is "An Evening With Bette Midler." I can hardly wait.... :puke:

P.S. Am I the only one who hears the title "Wind Beneath My Wings" and immediately thinks of somebody doing "the artificial fart under the armpit?"

38. LOL..ewwwwww.....Bette Midler is gonna be there?
I don't even pay attention to what goes on there. I have never even set foot in that place...

I guess she is another one I am supposed to like because I am gay.
