Blue, you have too much time on your hands....

[Supervisors, Stripping, and Songs]

:) Customers like that can be fun. It's amazing how some people can say things like that and not offend everyone around.What I found interesting was that your supervisor admitted that they pay you to be eye-candy. That's a tough job, but I suppose someone has to do it....

[Stupid I am.]

Maybe Graeme and all the others should all write a Courage story.

*...thinking...*

[Awkward Moment Contest]

Congratulations, EleCivil!As for what I'm congratulating you about, I'll leave that your imagination....

[Praxis of Evil]

Thanks, guys, for deleting my stuff for me. Although it appeared to still be there. As they say, give a hungry guy a fish, he'll have dinner; teach him to fish, he'll never be hungry again. Or better expressed words to that effect. It would be more useful if someone would tell me how to delete something entirely. I tend to hit the Post New Comment button and see nothing happen, so think I didn't hit it correctly and hit it again, and eventaully two messages show up. It's probably easy to get rid of one--hell, you guys all seem to know how to do it!--but I haven't figured it out yet.And I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be interrupting EC's blog for this!!!!C

Deleting other peoples posts are a moderator function. Since I'm a moderator, I see different options to you so I don't know if you are allowed to delete your own posts, but it sounds like you're not.As for interrupting EC's blog with irrelevancies? I can't think of a more appropriate place to do it....

[Praxis of Evil]

That was just me screwing up again, Trab. My message got posted twice, I tried to remove one of them and couldn't, so did what you see.Computers and I don't mix.C

Since you clearly didn't it want it there (though I found it very profound and intriguing), I deleted it for you. Good luck EC with all of the tests. I hope you pass with flying colours (or colors, even).

[The 4th]

As it's now the 8th in Australia...HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!

[Sunshine]

Hmm. One of those Raccoons. Each to their own. Pointless to tell you quite where to put your pliers as you'd obviously enjoy it! Actually *preens* my feathers are at their best during June - mating season don't you know. :wub: hopefully...

Mating season? In Winter?Oh... you're one of those emus.

[Fragile]

Life ends up being a case of setting yourself a goal (or goals) and then working your way towards it (them). Once you get there, you set yourself another goal (or goals).You've given yourself a goal with the last paragraph. You want to know what you're supposed to be doing with your life? There's your answer -- working out how to achieve that goal. Once your achieve that, I'm sure you'll find another goal to aim for.Good luck!Graeme :)

[Questions We Don't Ask But Should]

Question Twenty-one: If peanut oil comes from peanuts, and palm oil comes from palms, where does baby oil comes from?

[I picked the wrong week...]

I also remember the "Surely, you..." "Yes, and don't call me Shirley" running gag.

[Confession and cleansing]

Good luck, Rick You know how to contact me if you need any help or advice.

[How hard can it be?]

I don't like throwing things out, either. I can do if, if pushed, but I don't have to like it....

[Stalkers, Shoes, and more Relatives]

What I found most amusing was the great non-conformist appearing to be offended by the idea of wearing chains and leather.... Does that mean that bondage gear is now mainstream?

[Trust on-line]

Oh, and for the record, Graeme is my real first name. I had a friend try to identify my through Goggle (and he knew my last name, too), but couldn't. I CAN be tracked down, but I trust the people who have that extra information required to do that tracking. They have no incentive to go to that effort and if they did, I believe it would be for the right reasons.

[Trust on-line]

One of my best friends is someone who I only know online. We have gotten to know each other quite well, and I definitely trust him. However, there are things we have agreed aren't important. I don't know his last name and he doesn't know exactly where I live (my last name is common enough that I didn't mind him knowing them).If we really had to, both of us have enough information that we could track each other down, but we haven't and I don't see that we will.He is also one of two people to whom I've shown photos of myself and my family (after getting permission from my wife).Trust is not betrayed by hiding behind a pseudonym. Trust is betrayed when you use something against the person who trusted you. I believe I can trust my friend with my home address, but I don't see a need to give it to him, and he doesn't see a need to ask for it. Neither of us see it as a lack of trust in not sharing that (essentially) non-important information.

[Six Months]

[One Week]

I hope you retain that freshness you're showing, because having male teachers in primary school really is important. I'm lucky -- the school where my boys go have an almost 50-50 split between male and female primary school teachers.It is also those individual differences and talents that school programs don't immediately recognise. A mark at the end of the school says how well they can add up numbers, spell and write, but don't say anything about artistry, imagination, social skills or complex thought.Good luck for the future!

[Fate]

What can I say?After that opening, I supposed I had better say something.*coughs loudly*I don't expect anything less from you, EleCivil. Life wouldn't be the same if you weren't who you are :P

[Mr. Clean]

Ha! I did that on my birthday three years ago. Gave a lot of people, a hell of a shock. The neat thing, is that it helps your hair growth. You'll find it comes back thicker, and faster, than before.

That may work for you, but it doesn't for me There's nothing wrong with the bald look. I've been telling myself that for over 15 years now....

[Car crash.]

I'm glad you're okay and no one was hurt. It's been almost three years since my last accident but I still remember how shaken I was afterwards.

[Soft tissue on hot concrete.]

I've thought of rescuing worms, too, though I've never done it. It's not weird -- unusual and exceptional, but not weird.You were doing it for the right reasons -- what other people think about it is irrelevant.

Thanks, Jason, that was a very interesting blog entry.Now I just need to put some pressure on Camy. The pictures of you dancing around in your 49ers underwear certainly sound entertaining... Graeme

[My first AD blog]

I seem to have been a bit slack in keeping up with what's going, but...Welcome! :D

[Foot + Face = Wednesdays Are Free]

I understand what you mean about the novelty boxers. I do the same thing with T-shirts -- I just like to read what they say, and sometimes that means I have to go out of my way to look at the person.As for the story from school...
