Hey GB, your Kitten Cam post a few weeks back prompted us to adopt a kitten. Since then the feline and my son are inseparable. Both have nuclear reactors up their wazzoos, which is great because the little lunatic runs the boy all over the house constantly, burning him out nice and mellow for bedtime. She also sleeps on his bed and waits for him at the door when he comes home from school. It's something special. All prompted by your kitten cam link. See everyone? Magic can happen from the FFA. :thumbup:

Awesome. Think of me every time you scoop up her turds.

8th and 5th grade although the fifth grader broke her fibula on saturday night. she has a good attitude about it though.

Man, time flies. I remember when you were excited about the second princess going to kindergarten. Hope she heals up nicely. When my eldest is sick/injured, she unleashes a reign of terror.

She's excited about a purple cast but it is break this week. When she realizes that she can't perform at dance next week it will be a long 3 weeks.

Did you tell her she c-blocked me from cornholing you? Kids ruin everything!

Did I miss anything good? Rented a beach house two doors down from the Pelican Brew Pup for the long weekend. Being able to stumble to a bar and order up tasty brews by the breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean is above average. :thumbup: Well...back to pretending to work.

Other random stuff:

Wife and I hung out and got day-drunk with a couple that we are friends with. We started talking about a female friend of theirs that the wife and I have met 5 or 6 times. We'll call this person "Mary". Mary is 42, a school teacher, and never been married. She's rather nerdy but we'd always see her at the bar(s) whenever my friend's band would be playing. We'd never seen her with a guy and never heard about her having a boyfriend or even a date.

Anyway turns out that Mary was a virgin up until about 6 months ago. Yes, she lost her virginity at age 42. She's not too terrible looking. I mean she's not hot by any means but she isn't totally horrific. It just blew me away.

My ex-wife has a friend who was (is?) a virgin. She's pushing 40. She's not hideous, though she's certainly no trip to Hollywood. She went to law school in NYC for a few years and I felt for sure somebody would take her virginity there, but alas, she came back to Oregon pure as the driven rain. Very weird.

Legally Blonde grossly overstated the liveliness of law school dating.
Click to expand...
That may be true, but she lived in NYC the whole time. I thought people there had sex in the subway and stuff. :shrug:
Click to expand...
I also went to law school in NYC. GM's assumptions here are more in keeping with what I saw happening. :unsure: Can we get to the part where we post pictures of ourselves in college and law school rather than high school now? I was much better looking then.
Click to expand...
Yeah well, law school was a definite dating dry patch for me, and mine wasn't exactly filled with talent (though there was a chick who was stripping her way through law school - I was a little jealous financially, to be truthful). No, my action was limited to dating a clingy, insecure, man-hating psycho for nine months who was fun to go out with and also to stick my #### in, but who I temporarily broke up with as I studied for the bar exam because I realized that she was stressing me out more than the damn exam was. I literally told her not to call me or contact me until after the test. She 11 years later carried out a murder-suicide pact with her mother and her two kids in a custody dispute with her ex.

So yeah, law school dating was ungood.

Art graduate school at the University of Houston was delicious. Lots of gorgeous folk of all makes and models, wearing very little 4-6 months a year. I was particularly fond of the MFA ladies in Interior Design with their fashionable shoes, stunning faces/bodies, designer clothes for guest crits all mixed in with good smells, pantone swatches and prismacolor markers and pencils. There was a set of three of them that we referred to as Charlies Angels. I eventually married Jill.

Ditto MFA ladies of Calarts, absent me marrying Jill.
 
My friend who needs to get off heroin tried to start detox today on his own. He slept until about 1:30, made it without heroin until 3. The good news is after how awful he felt today after an hour and a half of no heroin on the first day, he's starting to be open to the idea of doing it at a detox facility. So that's awesome. I'm looking for a local hospital where I can drop him off as we speak.

 
JR woke up at 3:30 this morning and came downstairs to sleep with us. Which woukd be fine but sleeping next to the kid is like wrestling a badger.I'm pretty sure I have bruised ribs. Angrywife quickly abandoned ship and fell asleep on the couch.

I wish you the best. I have been friends with a number of junkies. i have had numerous problems with substance cessation/modertion. A few have quit, stayed off heroin ( after terrible, off the charts, rock bottom experiences). Most can't do it. Those that can't usually leave a swath of destruction ( using the term "swath" specifically for my lit-nerd brethren flysack) in their wake.Sorry if this sounds like a broken reord. , I am not saying abandon ship here. However, junkies are always great liars, both to you and to themselves. Hope for the best, help how you can, expect the worst, and never, ever trust them with anything of value that they could sell, for even a short window. When that sickness has its claws in you, the is no thing or friendship the junkie values more than the next fix.

Well, if you hang out in art circles you will know your share of junkies. And you will more than double that number hanging out in poker rooms. Those groups are filled with people who just don't function well in the real world. And one of best fiends, dropped it and has been clean ( of heroin) for more than a decade. But is someone is a hard core junkie, not just a drug dabbler on a binge with some bad habits, but a true junkie, then that is one nasty long hill climb. Usually, their pleasure centers don't fire right. Usually their life is filled with pain and regret. Usually they don't have a clue how to stay right, in the day to day grind through good and bad. And when they have burned through all they have, if they need the fix, they will turn on their friends, and back stabbing and Larceny are par for the course.If it is a true friend, you can walk beside them. But is you don't keep your head on a swivel and sense the fire when there is smoke, you are going to pay a steep price.

Figured someone had to. Figured i was you + several others. However, I just jumped into this thread a couple days ago, and I wasn't sure where the conversation started/tangented.You are a good friend proninja.also- question for proninjawas there a decisive moment when you knew you had moved from being a more hobbyist style amateur ninja to a full a pro ninja? was there an awards ceremony? chicken salad sammiches?

I appreciate it guys. I've had to remind myself a few times I'm having a conversation with the heroin. He'd actually been off heroin for over a year, but he'd been on suboxone, wasn't able to get that from his doc anymore, and started using heroin instead. The good news is he's off suboxone, now we just need to get him off the heroin. Talked with a different friend (another multiple inpatient who used to rent a room from me) who knows the guy last night, and her response was "XXXX is still alive? That surprises me. We had to stop hanging out because he couldn't stop using." That was depressing.

Thank you sir.I was a little at a loss for where to post/if to post in the FFA and then I stumbled into this hotbed of brilliance/stupidity.Speaking of brilliance/stupidity, am I the only person on the planet who think the show Criminal Minds (particularly the early episodes with Mandy Patinkin) are so terrible/poorly written than they are hysterical.I started watching that show after I was oxy post-Achilles surgery, and I could not believe the unintended humor. I guess that's what happens when a bunch of regular folks have to try to write for the way super genius profilers might talk in a way that the average American viewer can understand.I say, get the substance of our choice, some popcorn, wait for a 2006ish Criminal Minds marathon on A&E or Ion (if you get it) and let the good times roll.

I always just thought he was in favor of ninjas
Click to expand...
Well that makes a lot of sense.If this is case, then when did you feel as if you needed to move from a tacitly supportive position in favor of ninjas to a more dynamic proactive ninja message.For me, it was when I stumbled across this site more than a decade ago. I even posted a link to it on the old yeller board.

No, no, no. The "pro" is for "prophylactic," referring to his botched attempt to found a new form of martial arts based on condoms as weapons. In theory it made sense: develop a self-defense system targeted to prostitutes, a demographic at high risk of violence whose market had never been tapped (at least the way ninja wanted to tap it). The problem was advertising. Nobody would take seriously a thirtysomething man in tabi boots and a hood snapping rubbers around his armpits and crotch...

I've been regularly talking to a heroin addict, and this is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time :)
