01. Mamie, Reader gave great advice with Urban Dictionary.

02. I need to look up tea bag; although, I may not want to, sin it totally destroyed pearl necklaces for me.

03. CitrusCityGirl, our therapist said it was me putting undue expectations on DH.

04. When I suggested that he was being passive-aggressive, he pointed out that he isn't a label and that that is merely a "psychological cop-out."

05. His response to my saying I was developing a complex was to point out it was my complex, not his.

01. I am probably making too big of a deal of this.

02. If we are moving to Vancouver, he won't have anymore RL friends than I do, so we will likely do more things together.

03. I have decided that I am going to go downtown without him tomorrow--if he chooses again not to go.

04. He will likely be sullen when I come home, but that's okay too.

05. I know he'd like for me to make RL friends, instead of just my invisible friends on the computer, but I don't make RL friends easily.

06. How does one make friends IRL?

1. GAL, I think Suesical stopped touring last year, but I could be wrong. I had seen it when it came here with Cathy Rigby and was surprised at how good she was.
2. I am impressed with Mak and LL's googling, that's what my sweet innocent mind was thinking of, but when I googled, I got VERY different banana hammocks!
3. I couldn't sleep last night, got up to go to church this am, came home took a nap and had very weird dreams.
4. I am exhausted from them..great nap!
5. Even woke up in complete flop sweats!!
6. DS and friends are heading up to youth group, and the parents are all heading to eat mex food..yum.

Well, I looked up all the variations of "teabag", "teabagging", "teabagger", etc. and I'm just thinking "what's in it for me?" Hell with that . . .

And PS - no wonder Colossus gets a disappointed look on his face every time he offers a pearl necklace and I turn it down. For the record, I'm a diamond and sapphire girl. HHHmmmph!!

1. sort of on subject..since we have digressed!
2. in 1970, I was part of a group of Houston school students that started participating in a sort of social morrays study.
3. they have interviewed me every 10 years since.
4. they have even interviewed my son when he started 7th grade.
5. in the 1990 interview, it was alot about sex/aids/drugs ect.
6. I had to answer secx questions that if I didn't have the decription of the act, I wouldn't have known what it was!!!
7. The first thing I asked the interviewer when he wanted to talk to my son was are you going to be showing him those sex acts?? He said that all the parents have asked the same question.
And the answer was no.

Reader, DO NOT google for "banana hammock". Not all the definitions are innocent! (fair warning) If you DO google, DO NOT click on anything that says "for ladies only". LMBO and blushing again!!!

1. I'm LOL @ Rupertbear (made you look!) and wondering how many others are googling, lol!
2. I didn't know we actually stayed on subjects here.
3. I was getting my walking sneakers on, now looking out at sudden black clouds and strong northeasterly winds.
4. Took off sneakers, came back here to my safe place, lol.
5. I think LLKunkel's #6 is a hard one to answer. I can make acquaintances in RL but have a hard time to get past my shyness to take it a step further. It causes me anxiety to have to phone someone. It's ok if they phone me, though.
6. I agree LLK should go on her own date if DH ditches her again.
7. I wish I lived by the ocean all summer. It brings me such peace, just watching the waves, the seagulls, boats, etc.
8. World peace is my biggest dream.

LK had a ? for #6 - Now that made me look!!

I love Rupert's dancing 'banana'

I do NOT google for i have a fear of pop ups

ROFLOL at GAL!!

I admire Mak and her tenacity for exercise. Every day I think of Mak and her exercising, and i wish I can be like Mak!! (really!)

Did I mention I was DONE WALLPAPERING??? and why the H didnt dh make me a drink? I made my own cosmo!! Its not on my diet, that's why dh didnt make me one... I figure I'm taking off on Sundays for one Cosmo since I said so!! :-)

What is the subject? Sex?

Or world Peace?

wonder if Mak was watching Miss Congeniality?

1. Lk, I will admit I find it a little harder to make RL friends as an adult than I did when I was in school.
2. My very best friend is someone I met through my work, 30 years ago (wow time goes by quickly).
3. I have made friends over the years with parents of my son's friends, but my understanding is that you do not have children, so that may not apply to you.
4. How about neighbors?
5. Does your local library sponsor book clubs or reading groups?
6. What kind of hobbies do have? You might meet someone nice in a class or group related to that.
7. Since you and DH work together, and if it is true that you don't have RL friends near you, I might be able to see that he could feel you depend on him for all your companionship.
8. My DH did not have friends for many, many years. I am very happy for him, and for me, that in recent years (5) he has made a few friends at work. It has made our situation better.
9. Show that beautiful new smile to people you meet. Show an interest in them, ask questions about their family, their work, their hobbies and let me know how it's going.
9.5 In the meantime, while looking for RL friends, we're still here for you.

1. Hey hey Jewels...I get to do 10!!

2. Lk, it sure looks like the TVCHer's have given you some excellent suggestions on meeting rl friends.

3. And Lk, I cracked up at your "banana hammock" picture with the 'head'...LOL!! Too funny!

4. I bought a new vacuum cleaner today! Yay!

5. It's still packed in the box.

6. I also found a great deal on some new luggage our PA trip in July!

7. DD came with me to shop for the vacuum and the luggage and we had a fun time roaming around the Mall.

8. DD, DS#1 and I just finished washing DD's very dirty car. She's just come back from a road trip to Colorado and there must have been at least 3 gazillion smashed bugs layered over her entire car...I kid you not!

9. I heard from DS#2 (who's up in Portland) and he's got his job duty assignments all set and begins on Monday. He sounded really upbeat and I look forward to hearing from him at the end of next week to see how it went for him.

10. Okay, time to cook some dinner! Everyone have a great week ahead!

1. My dad and his wife are on their honeymoon, an Alaskan cruise.
2. We had their stateroom decorated and chilled champagne waiting..the bride called crying!
3. We get back from dinner and dh has a call from his partner saying water was in the house that they just finished building and sold! grrrr

1. omg, the things i have learned today. reader, i saved the urban dictionary in my favorites, thank you very much...whoa, i thought i knew everything bad there was to know!

2. lk, i think it is difficult to make RL friends, too. all of mine since college have been from work, but if you work from the home, then that makes it tricky. real, true friends are hard to find. i feel very lucky to have a handful of them.

3. i went and seen the notebook (movie) with alterego this afternoon. it was really good, but also really sad.

4. the last 3 movies i have watched have dealt with memory loss...50 first dates, then "the notebook" today, and finally, finding nemo, the ellen degeneres fish, at least that one wasn't sad!

4.323 i love the edit function on this board!

01. Nope; no parents of kids' friends to get acquainted with.
02. I've tried the neighbors, but other than the kids, most aren't friendly or around. And those who are around don't speak English. And my Spanish sucks.
03. I'll have to check our library, and see if they have any I can get too (not too hot to walk to from the bus stop). I know I would love to go to some of the meet-ups in town, but a lot of times with the fibro, I'm just not up for the hour-plus bus trip.
04. My hobbies are mostly altered books and collage. The few classes are held on Saturday's during DH's class--and since he wants me there for the whole day--I can't disappear.
05. DH and I do spend a lot of time in the house together, but rarely working on the same things and rarely in the same room. For example, he works in his office, and I work at either my desk, or in the bedroom (depends on temperature). Then he plays video games while I clean, cook, or play on the computer.

1. Lkunkel, if you do move to Vancouver, you'll have one RL and computer friend -- namely, me, Yankee :-)

2. Unless, of course, you meet me in Vegas and think I'm wacko--which is possible :-)

3. I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 today. It depressed me for an hour or so, but I'm over it now...

4. Like Mak, I did no exercise today. But I did take my dog for a fantastic walk along the water, which was nice.

5. Whoops -- people are fast today -- editing to add a few more facts.

6. I am getting ready to play Thief: Deadly Shadows. It's a cool PC game

01. I think the primary drawback to my making real friends, is my lack of a vehicle.

01.1 In looking through one of our resources, Campilano College looks like a possible employer. We'll know better once we write and sell our textbook, and send them a copy with a request for employer consideration.

02. If I could just go places without planning the bus schedule, it's much easier to spontaneously go to an art gallery, or something.

02.1 Yankee, I don't think you'll turn out to be a wacko.

03. For example, for Mamma Mia, I'm going to the Strip right after class lets out from UNLV. I'll find some place to sit and read until I can meet up with somebody.

04. That said, I am afraid to get back on the road because Vegas drivers scare the beejebers out of me.

05. What I do find interesting is that IF I do go places without him, he gets upset.

06. I think it comes down to one of those things I cannot win.

07. He wants me for company when he wants it. When I want it, it's easier to sleep--which is what he is doing now.

1. Egmom did not use urbandictionary.com

2. urbandictionary.com is all Pamy's fault!! *evilgrin

3. LK, friends, hobbies, work... but in the end sometimes its very shallow, and superficial... longterm relationships are very hard to develop. I hope I'm cultivating a few at church. How about a Book Study? Does the library have anything or the Park District, a monthly thing/

4. Texannie, how sweet!! I keep trying to think of a way I can get someone to recognize DH and my 25th anniversary (we're celebrating at the Polynesian in DISNEYWORLD - I know i've never mentioned DISNEYWORLD!!) like my parents, or my mil, or sils, or bros... how sweet you did just that

5. I think, I'm debating, should I just send something to our room, and pretend someone else thought of us (it would make dh smile!!)

6 Aug 2 is a long way away!! I love on the Disney bb I'm posting on I get to watch the countdown

7 DD just asked me what the countdown was, so I just went to ME its 32 days 12 hours 35 minutes 30 seconds, no 22 seconds, no...
