Just being honest.  She probably wouldn't move anyway.

For future reference, a more polite way to indicate there is (as of yet) no relationship potential is to say just that. As in "there is no relationship at this time". 

Thanks for the education.

Umm, ouch. It may be that she is not physically attractive to you but, still, ouch.

Hey Tobit, do you look like George Clooney?  How's your physique?

You troll me like I care.

 uhh.... I got plenty of extra 'chill pills' the doc gave me.....if anyone needs a few.

Or maybe some of my "glaucoma" meds?

Defining a woman as butterfaced [body like a brick shithouse with a face like a can of worms].

I thought the original post might have been a slip of tongue...but your opinionated defense...

butterfaced

faggot

white ass cracker

wagon burner

nigger

The list goes on...all are disparaging offensive remarks that cut to the heart.

Name calling is just another form of hate

Chill Pills!!!!!        :|Can I have one?!?

No pills needed here... Unless they're the kind that will keep me focused on my to-do list over the next 2 days off work!  

Today really drove home for me that I need to find new friends. None of my friends are actively working on any kind of goals. None of them have dreams, as hard as that is to believe. None of them are working toward ANYTHING, and when I start wanting to talk about things that are in the works, or to-do lists, or future hopes and dreams, I get blank (or annoyed) stares from most of them. Time to find some people who really enjoy hashing out goals and dreams, and/or more people who want to ramble about farming. No sense trying to turn the current friends into people they are not, but I really need some better, more constructive and engaging, conversation.

Too bad you don't like the cold. -19F with a wind chill of -48. It's supposed to hit -60 tonight just in time for the ride home. How is she getting on with your boy?

I was wondering the same thing.

Unfortunately I need pills

Anyways. The rest here is food for thought/conversation. People work eat and sleep. Their spirit has been broken.

All the ads and movies giving them a false sense of reality.

All they can do in their spare time is sit and stare at the idiot tube, and lose their mind into someone elses imagination.

You and I need to connect! I have some good friends who are like me (a goal, a dream, a wish in pursuit) but we are scattered so keep up via email, text, phone etc. I like hashing things out as well and tend to like having someone to check in with as I pursue new things (or just re-vamp the old).

today is one of those bunker down days, enjoy the warmth of the home, the company of sleeping cats, soak in a tub, bake some rolls, let the smells waft through the house...have to check in on Green Bay and San Francisco game later, just to see if it's an 'ice bowl....wonder if any tailgaters will freeze to death today...

Who knows with Packer fans. Probably saved a bunch of them by whoever-it-was stepping in and buying the rest of the tix (so much for adding 7K seats). Of course maybe they object to paying $100+ to sit on what amounts to a high school bleacher. Hopefully I'll not read about any mistreatment/neglect of animals or children in the GB area. But I'm not holding my breath.

He is annoyed with her, but since she has discovered fetch, he is liking her more. In the beginning, I waited for him to correct her when she was being annoying, but he's just a really soft soul, so every time he growls at her, he looks at me and looks apologetic and sad. So I've started reprimanding her when she goes overboard, just being generally annoying, and he seems much happier. He doesn't want to be boss in the household. And that's okay, he's never been the alpha here and it's not where he feels comfortable at, so I step in and defend him. He seems much happier that way (although he does still growl, that's just my cue to tell her to leave him alone). As soon as she picks up a toy though, he is ON IT. His favorite thing is running in circles while other dogs play fetch, so that's what we do. He is getting more interactive with her that way. Yesterday she was crawling on her belly up to him, begging for attention. He sniffed her head and started licking her ears (that was a first). But when she tried to cuddle with him, getting all up in his face, he started his growling again. She'll learn her limits eventually...

And I think the worst thing about the cold is that it is not great for animals. I want to live where I can have all the animals I want. And I've had enough of having to drag buckets of water to the barn on a sled. Not fun for me, not fun for the critters...

I do most of my hashing out when I'm at work at night, since I can text while at work and am generally bored out of my mind while there!

Hit me up if you want my number, girl!

Rowan sliced one of the pads on her paw yesterday when rough-housing with my friend's dog. Not sure how or when, she never yipped. I was just trimming my friend's dog's nails while she was here, and she asked how Rowan was doing with nail clipping. So I flipped Rowan over to show her and was like - OUCH, how did that happen?! It looks painful, but Rowan isn't even limping on it, although it seemed a little sensitive last night.

Still, I haven't taken them walking for 2 days because I don't have snow boots for them yet, and I'm not about to walk a dog with an open foot wound over salted streets. (Youch!) Two days in the house, and playing in the snow in the back yard, has the dogs both FULL of energy. I'm brainstorming how I could keep that ouchie safe from the salt if I was to take her on a walk tomorrow. Vet wrap is on my list of things to buy for the dog emergency kit. I have baby socks and bandages and whatnot to keep wounds clean, but that stuff won't stop salty chemical water from seeping in... She's really been wanting to play fetch, but I don't want her running on the foot and spliiting it open farther, so I've spent the last two days mostly ignoring her, leaving her to chew on her toys. The dogs are bored and so am I! I suppose I could spend the time on obedience... But being stuck in the house is enough to make anyone go crazy!

Would wrapping the wounded paw, then a baby sock, plastic baggie, and cover the whole thing with duct tape work?
