I ordered sushi tonight. I ordered it from a place that has chinese too. So I get fortune cookies with my order.
My fortune cookie says "two small jumps are sometimes better than one big leap." Love it.
I was feeling weird this morning so I took the morning off from work. I went to get a coffee and pick up a lamp and almost had an anxiety attack in the store. I was able to calm down and get home but it was really unsettling.
Hope you're feeling better gault. mp you're entitled to your opinion. Most guys I know would steer clear of a 99.9% female board. There are guys out there that do enjoy communicating (for lack of a better term) in more of a female fashion. I work with one man (married with kids) who happens to be very open emotionally and I could see someone like him communicating in a setting like this without being creepy. So I think it really depends on the person.
I just ate dinner and then some Easter candy. I need to be good now. J seems bummed out and I feel bad. Although he enjoys his job, his dream is to be a writer. He has written a bunch including a novel and has no connections to anyone in the field. I think he knows that it's a long shot to get published or even seriously looked at and he's disappointed. I have no real knowledge about writing professionally, but it hurts to see him disappointed.

You've hit very close to why I am here, when I was young my mom and sister and 4 aunts where big parts go my life. Then when I was 14 I went to live with my dad who was/is a wonderful man he taught me how to respect women and myself. Then when I was drafted I lived with a family of mostly women, again. So I guess you can say I am very comfortable being in the vast minority.
I have many male friends, but find sometimes they don't see the big picture, I appreciate your opinions and views. I often seek out opposing ideas, it helps keep me centered and grounded. Nothing more than that, it'll take time and it's time I'm more than willing to invest.
I've been having a pretty intense text conversation with my BFF all afternoon and have been crying on and off at my desk. I'm just realizing how much my health/impending procedures are affecting how I act with EMT. I'm actually surprised it's taken me so long to make the connection.

I accidentally reactivated my OKC profile today (I logged on to the site because I was bored and clicked without thinking about it). Now I am being inundated with a ridiculous number of messages, which is making me laugh considering how empty my profile is. Most are terribly uncreative, but at least some are entertaining.
gault that's the worst! Feel better! It's 5:30 here and I still have two large writing projects to dive into and draft before I can crash out. I'M literally so SICK AND TIRED. I'm going to go grab some dinner and try to refocus. 12 hour days really aren't the best way to get over sickness.
I was so exhausted today! I think I am going to bed by 8 tonight. I get up at 4:30, if that validates it;). It is a crazy busy week at work, and I am not in the mood for it this week:(. I need some motivation.
Anxiety is the worst! I'm glad you were able to talk yourself out of it Gault!
I have a new cute neighbor, but I'm not sure how old he is. Tomorrow I am going to bake some cookies to, you know, welcome him to the complex/assess his age and hotness from a closer distance! This is why I'm single!

Self published means she did it without a publishing house or agent backing her.She basically writes it as an e-book and sells them that way. She writes vampire romance novels. She is has an agent now
I just gave my cat a bath. Now I am exhausted. The brushing and blow drying is the worst part. I think I'm going to have some cheesecake ASAP now n
Is it necessary to bathe Persian cats? I've always had cats, but never a Persian.. I had to give my cat a bath once when she was about 10 weeks old due to flea eggs in her fur--- she climbed my arm like it was a tree. I could hear her claws puncturing my skin. It was not a fun time for either of us.

For my Persian it's pretty necessary. He's cream colored so he just seems to get dirty under all the different layers of fur. And he eats wet food so that gets on his face and chest. Plus the back end. He also get very oily so his hair will start to look stringy. Haha
I probably bathe him about twice a month. He's been bathed since kittenhood. I just plop him in the tub and he just meanders around in the water as I wet him, soap, and rinse. He even puts his front paws on the rim so I can wash under his belly really well. it's just the drying him that sucks. It share to hold him and dry at the same time. I need to look at getting a stand for the dryer. It would be a lot easier in both of us.

Does he have a literary agent? None of the major publishing houses accept unsolicited manuscripts anymore, so an agent is the way to go if he's looking to go the traditional publishing route.
When my old cat started to mat, I took him to Petsmart to get combed out and bathed. I ran errands while it was being done and came back to pick him up. They had him in a kennel with a dryer in it and boy did he give me the nastiest look. If looks could kill, I'd have been dead that day. But he was so handsome afterwards.
