Don't over think it. Just something like, "Larry and I met on the Internet" should be golden. (Although make sure you use their real name and not their screen name.)
 
Visited my dad yesterday. He was more alert than he's been the last couple of times (they revised his meds) - he talked a LOT but made no sense. I think he was talking about raising tobacco; it's what his family did when he was young and was 90% of what he talked about when he was last lucid.

Anyway, upon leaving I checked my FB feed and I find a hilarious "happy birthday" post from SLB. Twas fairly long & rambling but, as best I can tell, was about drunken Eskimos invading Switzerland for chocolate. I busted out laughing and Mata asked me what was so funny. I read it to her - for some reason, in a Bill Cosby selling Pudding Pops accent - and she cracked up too.

We had a blast at Easter/Uruk dinner. My aunt, at whose house it was, had hidden a dozen eggs for the adults to hunt. First prize for most eggs found was a bottle of some bourbon. She owns 600 acres but luckily for us she only used about 1/1,200 of that. So we paired up in twos after several pre-hunt cocktails. I haven't laughed that hard in a good long time. Three way tie for first, so we just opened the bottle. One egg never got found, as my aunt forgot where she hid it.

Drifter, the cover story in the May issue of Seattle magazine is about five road trips, the fifth of which is a Seattle to San Diego family-truckster vacation. You might wish to check it out!

Speaking of the Driftwold vacation, when do you get back? It looks like an ideal date for our snout-to-tail dinner would be July 12. Would this date work for the Seattle contingent, GM, Da, or anyone else who might come?

We may be in Detroit then, though there is a chance that I will leave earlier than the rest of the troops. I'll know more once we book our tickets. I also need to confirm our Ducks game in the fall. The FedEx driver broke some ribs and I haven't seen him in over a month. He's my dance partner for ticket trades.

Well, not looking so good anyway if Drifter and roverfish aren't around.

You guys have other dates in July that could work? I can't do the following weekend.

Our schedule is pretty similar to yours.

July is pretty busy for me in general. :(

But, I will be coming up to Seattle this summer for sure. I have a college friend that lives in Greenlake that we are planning to see, just haven't firmed down a time yet. I'm sure the Mariners will be 45 games out of first place by August, but I'd love to take my boys to a game. Seattle in the summer is simply marvelous.

That's optimistic for the Mariners

Is it someone you've already met in person? Is he/she local?

Not exactly the same, but when I explained coshole to coworkers, friends, and family I just said something like "I've been in on-line fantasy football with them for over a decade and we decided to meet up for a SB weekend". Not many strange looks, but then most of them knew I had done on-line dating for at least that long so......

 
Accidentally threw my debit card in the garbage last week. Life without it is pretty tricky. Hope it comes today, though living on an all-cash diet has been pretty healthy. Really have to think hard before buying something. Bet that's what it was like in the Great Depression, right Tanner?

"We know each other from an internet message board"

If you live in the same city, it can be explained away easily as friend of a friend. "We've run in the same social circle for years, through our mutual friend Rude and his cult clique 24 man fantasy football league sex parties."

I need someone who lives close to me who is willing to come hit me really hard in the face whenever I post in a religion thread. Thanks.

I've had Mrs. SLB on a pretty strict cash spending allowance for about 8 months now. Smartest thing I've ever done after laser eye surgery. She of course was vehemently against it but now sees how she used to spend WAY to much money on crap we didn't need.

According to my ex wife, there is a wrong way to do everything. Coincidentally, it's whatever way I do it.

That's why we keep you around, so we always know the right thing to do when we ask you for advice.

Incidentally, do your law clients know about this phenomenon?

I don't believe in hell but if I did, that stupid song where the girl whines over and over 'put up a parking lot' would play 24/7. What a god awful song.

One of the last times I accidentally smelled cocaine I heard the Counting Crows version and couldn't stop "hearing" it in my head. It almost drove me even more insane.

 
So I have an appointment with my (I've seen her one other time) good looking female dermatologist to look at my junk. After a lot of terrifying Google searching, I can't find anything that matches my ailment. :oldunsure:

Zooks, I'll let you know how much you owe for the office visit.

Heard that this morning. Guess it's warmer at 38,000 feet than I realized. Also, oxygen. WTH, right?

The Chronicle adds that "pilot and aviation consultant John Nance said the incident is 'one of three things — a hoax, a miracle or we're going to have to rewrite the textbooks if he actually did what he says he did. He needs to be studied very carefully by medical science because this is not supposed to be possible.' "
