1. Morning, Blondie.
I have been up since 3 for no apparent reason. Should I change my handle to "insomniac cat"?

3. You might want to think about it.
But I'd give it another week before any drastic changes are made. :D

8. Well, at least you didn't say...
you were thinking about me in the shower. Or something to that affect. You're not completely in the gutter.

9. Official end of this sidebar before I get in trouble
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 06:00 AM by achtung_circus
but who invented shaving. It's my least favourite morning activity, mostly because it goes on and on. I'm thinking about electrolysis. Not seriously, but every morning I scrape my face and every moring it seems like there has to be a better way.

edit incomprehensible spelling, yawn.

10. Well, you shouldn't scrape.
Use some shave gel. :)

12. I don't feel bad for you.
You're not a woman. You have one thing to shave. Do you know what a task it is for US to shave?

13. I do,
and electrolysis (that word again) or waxing don't seem like an improvement. My understanding is tat oncea womanhas shaved her lgs a few times she is locked into a lifetime of such depilatory activity.

Pity, because normal hair on a woman's legs is fine. Stubble sucks. Caught by the machine of fashion, aren't we.

14. It's not anything about fashion.
Ask most women why they shave what they do. The response will probably be because it makes us feel comfortable. I personally don't really like having my legs disgustingly hairy. Makes me feel gross. I'd rather it be stubbly or clean shaven. If we don't want to shave, we don't. It has nothing to do with fashion in my opinion.

Nice talking to you, this morning Blondie.

I'm out the door, duty calls, etc.

20. Are you talking about the page in general?
I'd either suggest bigger text or a change in font colors. The small blue is a little hard on the eyes. (Or it could just be me and in that case - ignore it).

21. Yeah,
I'm definitely increasing the font size and changing the colors. I still want the black background, though.
Thanks!

23. Morning Blondie
I hope you are not too knackered after your full weekend of work.

I'm flat out at work again, but at least it is my last day before France. Hooray!

27. Good
but Saturday was hung over. Sunday my Wife's best friend and her partner came around for a meal, but it was a bit sad at the end as it was a goodbye meal as they are off to the Phillipines on a 2 year work contract.

I'm busy today just because I have so much stuff that needs doing or handing over before I go. I'll only be 2 weeks, you'll hardly know I've gone :-) Still here is a :hug: to keep you going. When I'm back you will be getting a request to fill me in on all that I've missed on DU!!

28. Yuck!
Hangovers suck! But I hope you had a good time nonetheless! 2 years in the Phillipines??? That's amazing!

Try not to work too hard and have an AMAZING time on your trip. You two deserve it. :hug: You'll get a full report from me and a request for pics as well! :D

24. G'day, Blondie!
:hi:

Glad to see you, too! :hug:

Had a great time at the Asian Cultural Festival. Both days were hot (upper 80's to low 90's) and we did the taichi demo slow-roasting in the sun. I feel for the other martial arts demos with mats and on the stage. Those who were barefoot blistered their feet on the hot surfaces.

Also, the soccer team got a stunning win in overtime. Ten wins in a row! :thumbsup:

29. Have water and bandanna
will travel. That was one of my best ideas, the bandanna kept the sweat out of my eyes in addition to covering my head. That, and sunscreen.

I was bandanna man!

35. The storms left us alone
The first rainfree weekend here out of the past 4 or 5. We still have the standard scattered showers forecast.

Had to leave the bandanna at home. I don't get to be Bandanna Man at work. :(

Are you back in training, yet? May I remind you--no doughnut for you! :P

36. See, you passed it to us!
Jerk! :D

Awww, but I'm sure the other employees would enjoy it! What color do you prefer? Sorry, I'm having too much fun with this!

I should be back in training, but yeah, I've been slacking off majorly. He's taking about 16 days of leave at the beginning of August. Of which he'll probably spend 5 with me. SOOOOO, I guess I need to get motivated. :eyes: Soooo not in the mood.

37. Thanks for keeping the rain
and giving us a break. :thumbsup:

I have a light blue, a red, and a gray bandanna. I wear one running to keep the sun off of my head.

Glad to hear that your favorite Marine is stopping by. Another outdoor adventure weekend coming up?

Cute! How's the training for YOU going?? :D

I don't know about outdoor adventure. We always say we're going to do stuff and we always end up, um.. spending time indoors or going to a place that's indoors. I can't wait to get back to base though, I'm dragging his ass to the beach everyday!

39. Didn't run this weekend
'cause of the heat and the botanical gardens events. I'll run on the treadmill at lunch today. 2.5 to 3 miles--I don't like it, but I'll do it. :puke:
