[quip]

month. :-(

She's teaching a J term class in Tanzania, Africa, and I won't see her again until Feb 6th! :cry:

[kwassa]

1. there is always the Internets

you can talk for free on Skype, and if you have streaming video ...

better than nothing!

[quip]

2. Normally, yes, but where she'll be there isn't electricity.

There will only be a few times over the course of the month when they will even have computer access.

[Dr. Strange]

3. Well, I hate to cut right through it, temeah

But your post frequency has gone done, you haven't harassed Orrex nearly enough. You can’t concentrate, because of your wife, simple as that, alright? It’s your wife!

Man, is it the 11th yet? Serious Tap spasms here!

Hope your wife has fun. Are you by yourself at home?

[quip]

7. It's me and my 18 YO son

The bachelor pad! :scared:

I'm starting right in at midnight tonite! :woohoo:

[Bake]

4. Get her a satellite phone!

Just a thought ... they're pretty cool.

Bake

[quip]

8. She's not worth it.

KIDDING! I already got me a $600 iPhone.... :crazy:

:hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

:wow:

[quip]

11. BAAAAAAH!!!!1111

That's friggin' hilarious! Good one! :rofl: :hi:

[Ptah]

10. Dear temeah,

What is a J term class?
Yours truly,
Ignorant in Tucson

[quip]

13. Oh, sorry. Her college is on a 4-1-4 schedule; all students have 1 class in January

Funny, at first I thought you were CaliforniaPeggy! hehe :hi:

[Ptah]

15. My Dear temeah

What will she be teaching?

[quip]

18. lol you naughty boy

She'll be teaching a nursing class.

Incidentally, Ptah, it is her aspiration to teach graduate school at the U of A in a few years (from where she received her MA)

And by the friggin' way.... What the effin' hell happened to our 'Cats last night!!!!!!! God, the embarrassment! :crying:

[Ptah]

21. Don't worry about the Cats. That was the first ASU win in the last 12 meetings.

It was also the second ASU win in the last twenty-five meetings.

Two starters are out with injuries, still adjusting to interim coach O'Neill.
And that freshman Sun Devil is the real deal.

[quip]

23. in hoops, I don't want to EVER loose to the Scumdevils

I remember when Kevin O'Neill started assistant coaching for Lute; the eighties in Tucson were the golden years for the 'Cats. Elliot, Kerr, Lofton.... ah, the memories.

Bear down, Wildcats!

:D

[Bicoastal]

12. That's sad, but not as bad as what I thought you were gonna say...

"I'm so sad; my wife just left me for a..."

Friend of mine?
Relative of hers?
Republican?

I sympathize :hug: but count your blessings! :hi:

[quip]

16. Yeah, I was a little naughty that way

me ==>:spank:

She did it 2 years ago, too, so I know the drill. Thanks for the :hug: :loveya: :hi:

[Kutjara]

14. Just do what any self-respecting modern man would do.

(1) Eat loads of pizza and fast food
(2) Drink stupid amounts of beer
(3) Don't under any circumstances clean up the detritus from (1) and (2)
(4) Don't shower, brush teeth, or shave
(5) Leave the toilet seat up
(6) Don't even think about laundry
(7) Watch hundreds of "action" videos starring people like the Rock, the Brick, the Pebble...whoever
(8) Play the videogame versions of same, compulsively. With the volume on 11. Screaming "die, scum!" at appropriate intervals.
(9) Surf porn.
(10) Give free rein to your bodily emissions.
(11) Bask in the glow of being a man, unconstrained by any civilizing influence whatsoever.
(12) 29 days from today, desperately try to clear up the disaster you caused and hide the evidence of your "lost month."

Brilliant! You sound like a pro at this! Thanks, Kutjara! :pals::thumbsup:

[Kutjara]

20. Definite yes to the cigars and...

...getting stoned.

The best part is that, if you do it right, you won't remember any of it, so you won't have to lie. :)

[quip]

22. Remember what?

:smoke: :hi:

[Kutjara]

27. LOL! If you remember nothing else, though, remember this:

Febreze is your friend. Particularly if you smoke a lot of cigars. :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

24. Hey temeah...can I stay at your place?

For about, oh I don't know, a month?

[quip]

25. Party on, Wayne!

:party: :woohoo: :bounce:

We can get my son to make runs to the fridge! :thumbsup:

[midnight armadillo]

26. my co-worker...

...when his family went on a 2 week trip without him a while back did something like this. At the end he said "if it was any longer I probably wouldn't have survived on my own!" :)

[SPKrazy]

19. Wow, well

I'm sorry you will miss her...

A month will go by quickly...

stay in touch with her

keep busy

hang out on DU

:hug:

[Godhumor]

28. My wife's been in Japan since December 27th and doesn't get back until Jan. 29th

I feel ya'.

[quip]

29. Then you must be well on your way through

Kutjara's list! :D

Hang in there, bro! :pals:

[Robeson]

30. But you'll always have Paris.

[quip]

32. Well....

Actually, my daughter is studying in London right now, and my wife is meeting up with her in Feb in Paris! So I guess THEY'LL always have Paris.... :P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. But when you see her again...

what a reunion it will be! :D

I often think of those who are separated by this damned war...how they must ache for each other. And their kids...

I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you and your beloved, Temeah. :hug:

[quip]

33. The fantasy of the reunion is almost good enough!

But yes, being separated from loved ones in harm's way must be the ultimate in agony.

Thanks for the kind words of enouragement! :hug:
