we went here back when we were all in the big house, when I was in HS.
There's a photo somewhere of Ricky serving a volleyball here. *sigh*

I'd love to go back.

I'm feeling hermity, but also just really wanting to be held. :(

I noticed I was not really present in my body when I hugged/kissed
Patrick & April goodbye, or when I hugged Hojo bye. :(

evile: hi :) How was your weekend?
SkyeDS: it went, better than I expected it to :) how was yours?
evile: Very busy :) but good.
SkyeDS: as usual I need a weekend to get over the weekend and catch
up on sleep LOL
evile: *nod* me too.
evile: I've discovered that Christian Chatty Cathy is tired and likes
to read on the bus ride home. I've contemplated ruining her ride home
as much as she ruins my ride to work. But I'm not that mean. Mostly I
try to avoid her by taking an earlier or later bus.
SkyeDS: whatever works (and the least amount of effort is good)
evile: *nod*
evile: How were the fraternal sproggies?
SkyeDS: beautiful, bright and well-behaved
evile: cool. I'm glad :)
SkyeDS: I met the fraternal shack up too
evile: oh. How was that?
SkyeDS: the kids seem attached to her
SkyeDS: she watched me like a hawk the entire time
SkyeDS: I don't know what she was looking for
evile: that's wierd.
SkyeDS: she asked me a passively aggressive pointed question about
the horses, which I fielded, and that was as overt as it got.
SkyeDS: and I HATE covert.
evile: *nod* me too.
SkyeDS: apparently the loch ness monster (vanessa the ex) is a good
mother. Mom said that after she had the babies, she wanted to be a
mother and not a wife and therein was some part of the problem
SkyeDS: which makes me wonder if she didn't get pregnant all three
times on purpose
evile: yup. that definitely becomes a problem in a lot of marriages.
SkyeDS: instead of all three being accidents, the last two "on the
pill"
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: the pill is more than 99% accurate taken correctly. one
pregnancy on the pill maybe, two?
evile: yeah...really.
SkyeDS: maybe she has somethings in common with [rubber_pig]
SkyeDS: except she seems to be a better mother
SkyeDS: her live in has 3 kids of his own
SkyeDS: I was doing some calculating, and a noncustodial parent who
sees the kids on holidays and alternating weekends is getting the
equivalent of 8 weeks out of 52 (a year)
SkyeDS: Stuart gets his 3 weeks in the summer and a week at Xmas
SkyeDS: that's only 4 out of 52
SkyeDS: how can he say he loves his kids and live that way?
evile: *shrug* that's tough. Maybe he recognizes what's best for the
children.
SkyeDS: what's best for the children is for him to live in Atlanta GA
or somewhere close thereabouts, not in NOLA
SkyeDS: she may be a good mother, but her choice in men is suspect.
and he's not there when/if the kids need him, for whatever reason.
evile: that's always sad.
SkyeDS: Gramma fell and suffered several scalp wounds (which always
bleed badly) and a concussion
SkyeDS: Mom and Dad were gone to NOLA
SkyeDS: I'm 6 hours away
evile: yuck.
SkyeDS: who took her to the hospital and saved her life? the
neighbors.
SkyeDS: why?
SkyeDS: because they are right there, saw it in enough time to do
something about it.
SkyeDS: if Gramma were my responsibility, I would have a hard time
fulfilling that responsibility from six hours away, much less three
states away
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and when asked why he can't stand Georgia so much that he has
to live so far away from his kids that he only sees them 4 weeks out
of a year
SkyeDS: the only answer he'll give is that he didn't like the time
zone
SkyeDS: after he spent how many years in california and north
carolina, in the military, and the time zone has that much effect on
him? I don't think so.
evile: that's really too bad.
SkyeDS: couldn't he have figured that out before he got the loch ness
monster pregnant in the first place?
SkyeDS: since he was living in NC at the time?
SkyeDS: and did he not figure it out until after he had not one but
three?
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: "but what about the children?"
SkyeDS: the children are here now. you made them. it doesn't matter
how much you hate Georgia or why.
evile: You would think...
SkyeDS: the oldest is Alex, age 6. And sineater says he's already
starting to show what sineater calls typical signs of being a child of
divorce
SkyeDS: I wouldn't know what those were, but sineater would
evile: *shrug* there are worse things.
evile: Kids in loving homes are always better off than kids in homes
where the adults hate each other.
SkyeDS: this is long past the loving home v hateful home
SkyeDS: he doesn't have to live WITH her, just near her.
evile: well, he's an adult, he can't be forced to do anything he
doesn't want to do, except maybe by court order...it's regrettable,
but that's just hte way it goes sometimes. People breeding who have
no business doing so and zero commitment to the results of their
orgasm.
SkyeDS: he says he's had a vasectomy so these accidents won't
continue happening, at least. assuming that's the truth.
evile: Better than nothin, I guess.
SkyeDS: I remember Mom severing things with him over giving him
emergency money, and then him using that and going over and beyond
that with her credit cards for a trip to California
SkyeDS: the live in is from California. things that make you go hm.
evile: *nod* indeed.
SkyeDS: hint, Mom: don't give him cash. Don't give him a check.
Don't fucking give him your credit card and say don't spend more than
(whatever).
SkyeDS: whatever he says he needs, you buy specifically.
SkyeDS: he's not any better than those homeless people who make 30-
40K a year on the side of the road, with signs that say will work for
food, who will neither work, nor accept food if you try to feed them,
they just want the $.
evile: *nod*
evile: Well, in any case, I'm glad you went to the reunion and had a
nice visit with people.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: I enjoyed hanging out with Ladydreamtime, Patrick, April, and their
friend Rosa yesterday. I felt like she and I didn't hit it off the
other 2 times we've met, but I think we had a nice time yesterday.
SkyeDS: good nekkid time with ladydreamtime? ;)
evile: Oh, she only went to brunch, then she took some lunch home to
rainking. So it was just me, Patrick, April & Rosa at HH.
evile: And then after that I went to Hojo's and showed him my boobs,
and then I went home :)
SkyeDS: ok...
evile: that's what he wanted for his bday.
evile: mine were the only un-adorned, un-surgeried, un-marked boobies
I saw yesterday. tats, piercings, one boob job at HH, and plain o'
me. :P
SkyeDS: lol
evile: perspective is always interesting.
SkyeDS: aye
evile: I think Ladydreamtime and Chancie are both all natural, too. so if the
3 of us ever go out there together, I won't be the minority :P
SkyeDS: I've never given it much thought
evile: I hadn't either.
SkyeDS: we don't blink at blood guts violence but we scream when we
see a pair of bare nipples
evile: not me. :)
SkyeDS: as a society not personally
evile: yeah. Patrick and I had an interesting discussion about that.
evile: He & April are good parents, and they manage to actually have
lives & adult interests too. I think that's very cool.
SkyeDS: nodnodnods
evile: It's so gratifying to have friends who will actually get a
sitter and not insist on taking the kids with them everywhere, all
the time.
SkyeDS: I need to find a sitter so we can go toobin
evile: I don't know when our next toob trip is gonna be. Sweetie's VW
rally got cancelled because of the rain, so they're rescheduling.
This sunday, maybe? I'll have to ask...
evile: OTOH, Ben will be back in town. So we might go anyway.
evile: I'll have a definite weekend plan after Thursday, I s'pose.
SkyeDS: more Xmas in July :)
SkyeDS: kuchi choker and two new skirts today
evile: more ebay stuffs :) Nice.
SkyeDS: you've seen the silver skirt with the matching veil?
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: bought a purple one and an emerald/teal one just like it
evile: nice :)
SkyeDS: they're now selling t hem veils separately
SkyeDS: wish could have gotten the silver one that way, don't really
need the veil
SkyeDS: too big to make a turban out of it, and don't know what to do
with it otherwise, riding it gets in the way
SkyeDS: not big enough to use it as a sari
evile: I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point.
SkyeDS: most garby-crafty things do eventually
SkyeDS: my rationale for being a packrat
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: have a portable hot shower and porta potty on order too
SkyeDS: those tents for the showers cost way too much
SkyeDS: I bet with sineater's abilities with pvc he could make me a
frame, and we could get a cheap curtain and rings at a dollar store
evile: *nod* I am pretty sure Rengeek's shower setup is all totally
homemade, and it was awesome.
SkyeDS: don't know if you've ever seen Arthur's biggest stand, the
one made out of pvc - rather than his tree stand (sineater made them all)
evile: probably :)
SkyeDS: the solar showers were cheaper and had their own stalls
evile: sineater is very talented & creative.
SkyeDS: but for some reason I just felt that a battery operated one
might be better
SkyeDS: work faster, whatever
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I did not bring lunch because I was supposed to go out, and
my lunch partner rescheduled for Wednesday
evile: bummer!
SkyeDS: and what I ought to do is go across the street to subway and
get something while I've got Michael covering phones
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: did you see Chocolate Factory this weekend?
evile: yup
SkyeDS: and?
evile: It was fine.
SkyeDS: you aren't exactly waxing enthusiastically poetic here...
evile: A lot of people say it's closer to the original book but I
haven't read the book in years, so I couldn't say.
evile: To be honest, by the time I got in and sat down my shields
were so far up and I was so withdrawn, I really wasn't that aware of
the movie.
SkyeDS: :|
evile: I might see it again later, after the craze has died down.
evile: Well, it's 4. I'll talk at ya tomorrow. *hugs* Have a good
evening. We're walking at Town Lake, see my LJ if you're interested.
