As of this morning, it's still Dec. 31. Odd it would changed to Jan. 1 for a spell, then reverted. It seems to have a mind of its own, a very stubborn one.C
-
Yes, I'm sure it is. However, your blog page is back to reading Dec. 31 again!Hey, think of it this way: you're getting younger!CThank you Cole, it helps me to know that guests are seeing the same things I am.It is likely a software problem. There doesn't seem to be an adjustment for adding years to the software, so we may just have to cope with it as best we can for the time being.I suggest people start their blog entries with the actual date as a heading. That way we will have a reference of when it was written as well as the latest day on which the software lost the plot.And yes Cole it is Feb. 2010 here too.

On my computer, this shows up as posted Jan 1, 2010. Yesterday, it showed up as Dec. 31, 2009.As far as I know, it's now Feb., 2010. If that helps.C

Me too, and I'm sure I have way more time on my hands than Bruin.Of course, someone would again have to explain the difference to me between editing and beta reading. I still don't get it.And EC, I'm sure you've heard that phrase, "I don't get it," till it's coming out your ears.C(And I was just kidding about Bruin!)

I check the blogs every day, just waiting for posts like this!Every day, I simply find that Camy's still deathly ill. Oh, wait, that's an old post. He's probably back thrumming now. But how would we know?But that post is the only thing that's been there to read, so I see it, hang my head and go elsewhere for entertainment.And then, today, I get you! Hurray!Man oh man, we need more of you, Jason. These posts are wonderful, but way too rare.Here's hoping things slow down at work, and you have more time to spend on writing and tending to your long unbeaten appendage. Or maybe you can find someone to help you out there. And not a shocked old lady, either.C

Flu is viral, and antibiotics kill bacteria, and therefore are totally innocuous against viruses. But have at it if it makes you feel better. I agree with the doctor.Look on the bright side. Now you have time to read all those stories you've been wanting to read and haven't had the time to get into.Anyway, get well. I hate being sick. I feel for you.C

"...oozing with slippery morsels writhing in freshly warmed sauces..." Damn! I just had an accident!How about a plump zucchini, gently massaged in warmed olive oil, served with two quivering meat balls in a cream sauce?Or a rump steak, butterflied and stuffed with gorgonzola cheese with just a taint of mushroom piccata?Yum!C

Next time. . . .Has a ring to it, doesn't it?CCole, sometimes I am a bit on the stupid side...especially when I'm not the one on the prowl. I can be so oblivious when someone likes me, and If I'm not attracted to them, I am downright idiotic. So sometimes I have to get hit over the head with it, but Alex was so unexpected...in a good way.Matter of fact, he just left about an hour ago...after making me breakfast. A feat I won't have him repeat either, how can someone in their upper twenties burn eggs, toast, even the fucking orange juice. Next time, I cook...Jason -
Damn but it's good to have you back, Jason! I've missed all these escapades from you.You did seem a bit slow on the uptake in this one, however. From his first comments, Alex was either coming on to you or challenging you. It appeared you never caught on till you'd been in the tub with him awhile and he?d made himself exceedingly obvious.Maybe you're just joining Des and me and the rest of the older contingent here and simply aren't thinking about sex all the time anymore. Oh, wait a minute. I'll have to leave Des out of that.Please give us more. I love these stories!Maybe we can hear about the new job.ColePS - You know the very best part of this for me? It was when they pulled out the pipe and you quietly left! Bravo, young man! Bravo!

Or a boyfriend.

That's terrible, and I feel for you. I had to wipe my hard drive and start fresh, but my backup, on a peripheral hard drive outside the computer, allowed me to recover 99% of what I had. I was worried sick, though, that it wasn't going to work. So I can easily imagine what it's like to really happen.So much lost. I'm so sorry.C

Richard, I'm so happy to have you blogging here. And you're doing it wonderfully well, no problems at all!Go Dustin! Sounds like he's not letting any personal problems slow him down, let alone defeat him. Shows the effects of a positive attitude, and supportive parents who make him feel secure!Sounds like you're doing everything right with him. It has to be scary for you. Both you and David should be congratulated to high heaven for taking this challenge on, for helping a child in need.Please keep going with the blog. It's both fascinating and heartwarming.Cole

That was excellent, Des. Really, really...uh, good.C

The advertising tie ins to that software boggle the mind. The humor would be delicious, and the name of the program would become famous. As would the somewhat bewildered fellow browsing through the software store, thinking he had entered a porn shop.No one could do justice to the scrip other than you, Des.C
-
Just what was the contract, to install new computer wiring and equipment, to set up networts, to do basic IT work, what? Perhaps I should know, but don't. Servicing 30 stores all over the South sounds onerous, much too much for one person.C
-
And here, all this time, I was thinking the absence was because you were deep into that 100,000 word novel you're bound and determined to write!C

Don't forget an oldied but goodied: GEHOSAPHAT!Don't mind the spelling; it's the thought that counts.C

Damn, those oysters look good!I'm anything but a Southerner in many aspects (I don't go to church, and though G. Bush was an idiot, so I wouldn't fit in at all), but I'd love the food!Except the breading. I eat amost nothing breaded. So maybe I'd starve.C
-
Just something I learned long ago, James, and it may not apply to you at all.When I think of a great, great story when half asleep, and it all fits together, and is marvelous, and I can't wait till the morn to write it all down (unlike you, it takes more than a great story idea to get me out of bed!), I find upon rising, upon thinking abou it, that many of the key story points don't make any sense when stirring. The logic that made sense when mostly asleep doesn't translate well to the waking world.Just a word of caution if you ever do remember one. It mayn't be nearly as compelling as you thought it would be.Another way to look at it is, you're really not missing anything by not remembering these.C
-
Des: Good thing you didn't go back to the doctor. You'd simply have gotten another tube of white cream, and I'm not sure what you'd rub that on when the problem if flagging energy.Jason: Look on the bright side. Instead of ruing your lack of understanding Des' glib Aussie nonsense, look at it as inside knowledge for when you have a cute downunderer at the restaurant. Now you know how to talk to him, and, better yet, just what to say!C
-
You're lucky, Jason!I eat out twice a week, mostly. At a variety of restaurants. And I've really noted a falloff in custom. Where there sometimes was a wait before, now most restaurants are mostly empty most of the time, even on Friday and Saturday nights.If you're mostly busier than maggots on a four-day-old carcass, you should be rolling like a pig in shit, with smiles galore. That sure isn't the case in LA. (Colin tells me my analogies tend toward the gross, but what does he know?)But, as to the assholes, the ones you describe certainly deserve that title. When on the few occasion I do go late, close to closing time, I always ask if it's too late, and if they say I have to order quickly, I do. I figure they're doing me a favor by accommodating me, not the other way around. If I don't eat there that night, they won't suffer, but I very well might. Most places close about the same time.Luckily, I don't think there are that many of those sorts of people around. But I never worked directly with the public. Perhaps there are. You'd see it more than I ever did.C

I had thought about explaining why I haven't posted anything in forever, but that seems like a cope out and probably no one cares. -- JasonI not only care, I'm very proud of you for leaving your drugs behind and living a life for the past few months you'll be able to remember.Jason, you're at that time of life where lots of energy gets spent on the job, less on the things you used to spend it on. It is, for lack of a better word, the dreadful encroachment of, shall I say it? -- maturity.That doesn't mean you're dead. It means you're joining the rest of us who've been there, done that, and moved on.It's not surprising you dno't have as much time and interest in bloging her than you did. Your time is more precious.But we love hearing from you, and hope you will drop us a note and catch us up from time to time.Cole

As we Americans have no idea what terms like stonking, bollocks or bin bags mean, while everyone else is off buying face masks and so intermingling with their contagious brethern, I'll be safe at home checking my English to American translating dictionary. So, to the rest of you Brits: BEWARE! <GRIN>C

I SEE YOU GOT IT FIXED, DES. IT'S NOT STUCK ON DEC. 31 ANY LONGER. IT'S BACK TO JAN. 1.IT COULD BE WORSE, I GUESS. IT COULD HAVE EVOLVED FROM DEC. 31 TO DEC. 32 AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE ALL HAVE BEEN!IT BOGGLES THE MIND.C
