DO I have to be at UrukCosHole? I'm in
Verginer
I would've started drinking when Ponder was declared out.That was mean. I shouldn't have done that. Sorry Frosty./strypple
I cannot be there personally, but I wanted to contribute a t-shirt idea.
:hi:Eta: too bad I missed the dinner last time I was up, I could've met him.
:cokechat: activated.However I have noticed that I've been craving a bump after a few cocktails lately.I'm way out of that loop.That's a thought. Where's cocaine on the scale nowadays? I haven;t done that in a a decade. Is it cool to do now? Its pretty innocuous if we don't freebase, or do crack, right?Or take more pills.
Can I steal this for FaceBook purposes?
Tell your sister to give him the phone next time.Oh, and threaten him with supreme violence if he ever ####s with your family again. If he does, then cross that bridge when you come to it.
He's alive and well. Not sure why he's taking a GMTAN vacation though.So Tanner is gone but Redmond is back? I'll take it.
Stop this.We hit one up at work a few times a month. I try to get a different dish every other time we order it, but the lemongrass beef noodles are to die for.Love the Vietnamese food.
Go down South. The brothers generally shy away from that.
Hummingbird?
About time you decided to pay your workers.
Im almost positive the song goes "moves like jagger", but I like yours better.
Pretty cool.
As for your other vices.....
Sounds like you're starting to blast away on these things.
Can't. It makes you dizzy/high like inhaling pressurized whipped cream gas. I tried and found myself walking in circles.Christ, these guys have thought of EVERYTHING! I have a USB plug-in so you can "smoke" without using the battery.
I don't think you're supposed to max out the nicotine as an ecig virgin, but that's just what I've gleaned from the thread here.
Yeah, well I've never been the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to addicting substances. I tend to go whole hog at first then back off to a comfort level. First acid trip? Two full hits. Angel Dust? 3 joints (the most scared I've ever been; the acid trip probably would've been but luckily we had controlled the environment enough).
Even at 36mg, I believe the nic level is still lower than a regular cig. Even if the e-cig is higher, it's better to start high and step down, rather than start low and give up because it's not helping enough. I started at 24mg, and use between an 8-11 now. Similar to EG, I'm certain I could put them down now if I wanted to, but I enjoy blasting away.Started vaping on Feb. 12th 2011, last cig on the 14th. I'm not nearly the expert that some of the guys in the ecig thread are, but if you have any questions let me know.'Uruk-Hai said:
Thanks, T. No doubt I'll need some support.
Brownies?
I'm not really afraid of the guy and have enough history with him that I think I could at least address it with him in a calm yet direct manner. He has two little sisters and makes a huge showing about how protective he is of them. I might appeal to that side of him. I may not be able to intimidate too many, but I'll put my people/negotiating skills up against anybody's. All that said, I talked to a friend of mine about this on Thursday. He IS big. Really big. And he too likes guns and told me that at a drop of a hat, he'd be there if I needed him to help deliver a message.

If I were a betting man, I'd have to side with the Seabags. altho laying the -150 would be more comfortable
I think you have to address it, and it has to be addressed directly, which means either verbally or more physically. I'd go with the former too, especially because it wasn't violence inflicted on her.I'm curious, what did your sister tell you about this incident that you haven't yet related? Has she asked for your help or given an opinion either way on what you should do?I'm not really afraid of the guy and have enough history with him that I think I could at least address it with him in a calm yet direct manner.

She makes excuses for him constantly...says he's just a high strung, very aggressive, adrenaline junkie who would NEVER lay a finger on her. He just got really pissed at her and threw the phone. She was texting the GF of her ex-husband who I've never met, but by all accounts, has been very good to my nephews and has laid down some good rules to follow when they are at her house. However, she thinks it is bad form to spend the night with Greg (sister's ex-husband, my former BIL) when the kids are there. So they were in a little text war about it as my sister has no problems letting her BF spend the night when she has the kids. The boyfriend then grabbed my sisters phone and sent a text out saying to the ex-husband's GF "You need a glass of wine or 10 and loosen the F*** up!". Well, my sister was pissed about this and refused to let him see her phone again and when he demanded to see the response, he grabbed from her and threw it against the wall.So...two to tango, for sure. I'm sure they were both drunk. He's a boozer and so is she. And I'm hoping it's an isolated incident and that's as far as his hostilities will go, but the big brother in me is a little nervous that he won't stop there. Maybe I'm paranoid?I think you have to address it, and it has to be addressed directly, which means either verbally or more physically.

Sadly, you're probably not paranoid. I'm in the camp that thinks his behavior is not okay, but I also think that there's only so much you can do. If this is the same sister about whom you've posted before, things aren't going to change because you give the guy a talking-to or rough him up. The relationship itself is probably pretty toxic and in my experience, these types of things don't always fix themselves in the best way.She makes excuses for him constantly...says he's just a high strung, very aggressive, adrenaline junkie who would NEVER lay a finger on her.

This is the basic view I have. It's a no-win situation for you. I'm assuming her kids weren't present when this went down. If you act too assertively, your sister will side with her boyfriend.Sadly, you're probably not paranoid.

I think you approach her and indicate very simply that you're concerned and that this is not acceptable to you and tell her that she can come to you anytime if she's got a problem with this guy.
I think you approach the guy and just tell him that hearing about this brought out your protective older brother instincts but that she's defending him and you just want him to know you're aware of it.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what you can do. I'd only step into this more decisively if you're at the point where a restraining order was appropriate, but even then you'd need her on board with that and women in abusive relationships are known to do the exact opposite of what they should do to protect themselves.
But he plays with such passion!
He's got killer instincts!
