I don't think most men, unless they are a little weird, care if you are 20 pounds up from a photo. They'll care if you posted a skinny picture but are really obese, for sure. I'm not a man, so obviously, not 100% on this.

I think you need a rebound hookup, but just a hookup. How anyone can go that long is besides me.

My daughter was home sick yesterday and now the husband is home sick today. I hate cold season.

20 lbs can be a significant difference. So its going to depend on the body shape. On my wife it would be going from too skinny to too fat. If a woman has a bigger build to begin with, its not a huge difference. If she has a slender build, it could easily be a lot. So you're right, you're not a man, and its a good thing you're wrong because a majority of men would care.

Maybe you need to send them back home for a visit to get over that home sickness?

Hope you're all sleeping soundly :)

And I have to start working :P

Tomorrow and on Friday I have days off and going to visit my sister and two nephews ;)

Can't wait! :D

Well its about time you started working at your job. This pretending to work stuff has go to stop.

If you can't wait, then go now.

Spam received at our company's web published email address today

"My name is Jiandong Ding, the president of China Machinery and Metal Products Co Ltd. It is my honor to contact you.

I visited your web site and I hope we can make Machining & Fabrication. Our prices can bring you lots of benefit."

I wonder if they can also make running and walking for us? I just love automated scripts designed to spam businesses.

in your spare time, you can spam them back, get them all worked up and have them waiting at the airport for your arrival, with gifts and broads, to discuss a multi-million dollar contract......

That might actually be fun. Can I ask them to foot the bill for the flight to?

Dentist report.

Everyone was really nice at this office. Which is probably because they're going to finance their kids college educations off of my teeth. Googling the drive time to Mexico, Tark can you recommend a good one?

I don't think I need one. Honestly for me sex had always been a slight issue...it was never about ooh this is exciting...it usually ended up being - anxiety, fear and hope it is going to be over soon. Has to do with prior rape (my first time...) which is why I ended up having a gf for a while. It was safe and good and I did not have to be scared but enough about that it has been a while.

I got my divorce decree last night, printed it out and ready to assemble ROC package just getting FIL to get his affidavit signed and notarized and then off it goes. Borrowed 500 from a friend (still waiting on the money, slightly worried) so I can pay it. And bought 2 trash cans, can opener, toilet paper holder and toilet brush and a modem/wifi thing for internet with a card from my ex hubs - told him that is what I did so he knows. Off sets things a little.
