3749Re: the end of me and [Cousin B] being close/me to J-Law

7 Nov. 1:44 pm

 

OMFG, I just had the most *brilliant* thought!!!

[Cousin B] is getting a car for his bday in Dec. For whatever reasons
(insurance? paperwork hassle?) they're going to wait until he's 18 to
get his learners permit too.

So what if I was the cool cousin and took him to a big parking lot to
practice driving, but insisted that he be sober (ie: not having smoked
pot recently) in order to drive?

Good incentive, eh? I'm so good.

About The Sign

As the third sign in the Zodiac and consisting of mutable air and the
sign of The Twins. The sign is linked with Mercury, the planet of
childhood and youth, and it's subjects tend to have the graces and
faults of the young. The mutable part makes them changeable and they
are always on the verge of changing into something else. Their
personality is hard to pin down and an ever changing persona of
moods, roles and even people. You can never say you know a Gemini
person, the real question is which one of their many selves have you
not met and who are they at this moment. To a Gemini person life is a
game, which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous
entertainment, free of labour and mundane routines.

The Gemini people are all too aware of their complexities of their
dual nature and seek wholeness. They will often seek their other half
in someone else. They need to learn that the contrasting energies
they carry within must be balanced before they can find true
happiness outside of just happiness. Fond of their friends and
family, and eager to spend time with them, they can put on a party in
a matter of minutes. They constantly work at enhancing their charm
and augmentation of their natural beauty, but done subtly. They
thrive among people who are warm and witty and forming friendships
come easily to them.

Gemini people balk at restrictions and aim to maintain their freedom
at all costs. Generally on the side of the individual who is the
underdog, they hate oppression and exploitation opposing it with
theory and practise, which is a natural combative force within them.
They stick up for what they believe is right and will not hesitate to
attack any wrongdoing be it in the moral or practical forms. The
primary drive of the Gemini person is to go beyond limitations
imposed by Society and nature. Their style is to remain unattached
and thus free.

Love and affection though are important to Gemini but are usually not
a top priority. Indeed they are sometimes accused of blowing hot and
cold and with some justification. Because of their intense need for
change in relationships, Gemini's may spend a period of their life
bouncing from one partner to another. Even those who can establish a
well grounded relationship are constantly tempted away from it by
either a career, hobby or their spilt personality seeking something
more in the form of another person.

The seductive qualities of the Gemini person tend to land them in
trouble. Their choice of partner often shows remarkable good sense,
but they will often bind himself or herself to a friend or lover who
can prove to bothersome or restrictive. When a relationship must be
ended trust a Gemini to either end or worse, manipulate the situation
to ensure the other person ends it. When striving for this they will
use any weapon in their persona - unscrupulous lying, and cunning
evasiveness; escaping blame by continuing to put it on other people,
wrapping it all up in the charm they can turn on and off at the flip
of a switch. It is often a volatile break-up and Gemini's do not
understand why sometimes. They do not see that by manipulating the
other person is hurtful and will act like the hurt party and over
dramatize the situation in public to their family and friends. In
private though they will pat themselves on the back for a job well
done and move on to the next conquest if they did not already have
them lined up and waiting in the wings.

The Female

She wants and craves for her environment to be peaceful. She wants no
games and would rather step away from anyone who tries to create
them. She wants an uncomplicated relationship or none at all. It is
that simple, if you can keep it simple then you will have a friend
and lover for life. To say the Gemini woman is a challenge is an
understatement. This woman will never say what she wants…well not
early on in a relationship anyway. Don't take what she says
personally when entering into a relationship she needs her partner to
understand her flirtatious nature and many persona's. Jealousy will
do you no good because of her friendly side she attracts just about
anyone from all walks of life. Unlike her male counterpart though,
she has a firm belief in a relationship in that it should be ever
lasting and has no time to stray and will devote her time and
energies into her partner once married.

That is not to say she will not move from one partner to the next.
Like her male counterpart she is seeking her perfect mate and will
often not settle down into a marriage or serious relationship until
they hit their mid 30's when they have had a chance to experiment
with life and all it contains. However she is bold and blunt at the
beginning of a relationship to lay all her cards on the table once
she has determined in her mind that you are not for her. In this way,
they are able to settle down with few regrets and may even be
enthusiastic, looking forward to the years ahead in the company of
someone they admire and love. On a further interesting note Gemini
woman are the woman most likely to not bear children. They have a
great deal of respect for children and flitting from one relationship
to another is harmful to a child's personal growth and they do not
want to bear any responsibility of having emotionally damaged
children.

A born traveller she is always on the move from one project to the
other. Her vacation ideals are borderline exotic with journeys in the
wilds of jungles or bold and brazen lands that are a challenge to
enjoy. She craves constant change too but in subtle ways, be it a new
piece of furniture or even a new coat of paint on her walls. She
likes her creature comforts and change is one of them.

Being friends with her is incredible and a very rewarding experience,
full of intelligence she can question why the sea is blue with a
valid counterpoint on why it is not. Her thought process is first
class and is never boring. She does have the bad habit of flitting
from one topic to the other which most find amusing if not confusing
while they try to keep up with her and her thought process. You will
adore her until the battle of the minds clash and the first fight
results. After the walls have settled and tempers have been checked
you may be questioning yourself on the reasons why you are her friend
or lover and it provides a good dose of reality in any equation.

If you happen to be her enemy then the best of luck to you, she is
downright lethal and will use any weakness you have to bring you to
your knees. She can also manipulate the situation to her advantage
and make you see why you are the imbecile and not she. This holds
true in her professional and personal life.

In closing, while the Gemini woman is more grounded than her male
counterpart, until she can balance her emotions she will be a hard
one to keep track of.

Sagittarius the desire to contemplate, to understand and to
philosophize. The work of the Season is done. The harvest is stored
and hopefully in sufficient abundance to serve the community until
spring. Fires burn brightly in hearths, illuminating the darkness of
night and casting pictures upon the wall. Within imagination, visits
are made to faraway places. The mind ponders on life's greater
purpose...the meaning of existence and its purpose on Earth.

Rules of The Sunsign

If you were born on 22nd, 23rd, 24th or 25th of November, you are
partly governed by the previous Zodiac sign i.e. Scorpio. Please read
the details of Scorpio also, and add it with the above given reading
of this Zodiac sign i.e. Sagittarius, so as to get a combined picture
of your plus or minus points.

If you were born on 18th, 19th, 20th or 21st of December, you shall
have comparatively more negative aptitude and stronger will of taking
any bold step than those born on other dates i.e. 22nd November to
17th December of their own Zodiac Sign i.e. Sagittarius.

The Good Side

Optimistic, freedom-loving, ardent, jovial, honest, straightforward,
intellectual, philosophical, eager, versatile, patriotic, ambitious,
trustworthy, enchanting, scholarly, musically inclined, adventurous.

The Bad Side

Blindly optimistic, careless, irresponsible, superficial, tactless,
restless, temper mental, over-competitive, peculiar, blunt, gullible,
secretly insecure, self-unaware, extravagant, pompous, impulsive,
fussy.

Ideal Job Positions

Public Service, Advertising, Researchers, Musicians, Armed Forces,
Travelling Salesman, Researchers, Professional Gamblers, Pilots,
Sports Coaches, Teachers

Possible Health Concerns

Health problems concerning the hips & thighs, hair, indigestion and
knee problems are some concerns to people born under this sign. Since
this sign is prone to develop fatness, take proper precaution in your
diet to avoid obesity. They can also suffer from poor skin complexion
and weak nails. Problems with the back are generally typical in this
sign too. More complex problems will occur later in life with the
Sciatica and rheumatism.

The Males will face more physical ailments then the woman in this
sign. The Sagittarius men are often sportsmen indulging in dangerous
pursuits, they are prone to accidents, which will arise from these.
The taking of risks in sports is a danger to the modern Sagittarian,
and he is also liable to accidents with fire and heat.

Soul Mate Signs

You were made to have fun with someone just like you. That is why
another Sagittarius would be great for you. Aries and Leo are dreams
come true. Scorpio and Capricorn make your heart skip a beat. Careful
both signs are very demanding and need to be constantly kept
occupied. Libra and Aquarius love doing all they can do to see you
happy. Gemini and Pisces will help you learn more about yourself and
what you want. Your freedom in non-negotiable, make sure that Taurus
and Virgo know this. Cancer may give you a nervous breakdown if you
take things personally, if you don't it will roll right off.

About Your Sign

The animal associated with you sign is the centaur. They say the
Greeks love for the horse is what led to the ennoblement of the
centaur in myth and legend. The Centaur symbolizes the duel nature of
mankind as an intellectual creature (human half) and the physical
nature (animal half). Some well-known centaurs in Greek mythology are
The Centaur Chiron was known for his wisdom and healing abilities.
But Hercules killed Nessus for showing his weak physical side by
trying to rape the woman under his charge. Other centaurs were
renowned for their weakness of alcohol.

That being said Sagittarians are hard to control. In many ways the
most independent (outside of Capricorn) people in the Zodiac. They
must feel free to act on their many impulses and intuition. People
who try to exercise control over them will face a rough and up hill
battle losing more than winning. Sagittarians are competitive by
nature and they set out to capture it all and will not settle for
being second best, knocking friend and foe aside until they reach
what they have set their hearts desire on. They have a deep interest
in people and will have many acquaintances than true friends through
out their life cycle. They will sacrifice their health and family
relationships to achieve financial success.

With a positive outlook on life, energy, versatility, a deep craving
for adventure, they enjoy travelling and exploration. Their minds are
constantly open to new dimensions of thought, ambitions with an
optimistic attitude and continue to be so even when their hopes are
dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many
disappointments without being affected. With a passion for justice,
they are usually on the side of the underdog in society, they will
fight for any cause they believe to be just, and prepared to be
rebellious. They are able to balance loyalty with independence.

If the subject to the Sagittarius is of interest to them, they make
excellent students and co-workers. The energy they harness in the
situation makes them quick minded. The more pressure that is applied
to a Sagittarius the better they succeed, in all they do. They love
to initiate new projects (they make excellent researchers) and have a
compulsion to understand concepts that are new to them. Often
original, they are better at adapting than inventing and are at their
best when working with colleagues and other types of character that
compliment their own personality. They are strong-willed and good at
organizing, a combination that gives them the ability to bring any
project they undertake to a successful conclusion.

However there is a downside to working with a Sagittarius, they think
that everyone should be like them. They will throw more and more at
you and quickly get angry if you are not living up to their
expectations. They will often say you are holding the team up or not
pulling your weight. Its not really their fault, they are so
adaptable to any situation and workloads that they often forget to
think outside of their box and take a look at the demands they have
placed on others.

In Love Sagittarians are ardent, sincere and straightforward,
normally conventional and in control of their sexual natures. They
like to control the situation around them and if thwarted, they may
easily allow their failure to embitter their whole lives or they may
revenge themselves upon the opposite sex by becoming cynically
promiscuous. Romance brings them great satisfaction and the most
happiness from within. They are prone to an uncongenial alliance with
the opposite sex. If they have a successful marriage, they will be
faithful spouses and indulgent parents; but their restlessness will
inspire them to use even the most satisfying ménage as a base from
which to set out on their travels. They need to feel free and are
often faced with the choice of allowing their careers to take over
their lives at the expense of the love of their spouse and family. If
the marriage proves to be unsuccessful they will coldly cast the
other person off and flirt and carrying on many affairs not trying to
hide it. Denying that they are in the wrong and making the other
person burden and shoulder the blame. Often times they ignore the
problem and are truly shocked and disappointed when the marriage
folds.

In other personal relationships they are reliable, seldom betraying
any trust given to them. They will in their lifetime have two close
friends normally from childhood that they will turn to in times of
inner torment and disappointment. These people will also understand
and relate to them, opening up their arms for comfort and support
when they have exhausted all others around them. They can, however,
be impulsively angry and both male and female Sagittarians know how
to be outspoken and exacting what expressions will hurt their
adversaries most. Carrying a grudge to the extreme it takes a strong
counterpart to break that wall of indifference down that they build
up. They don't like disappointment and will throw it over there
shoulder casting the offender and problem away, after they have put
themselves through a private torment, going over and over what went
wrong. If you are close to Sagittarian and have the backbone to break
down the wall and shallow actions, they are magnanimous in forgiving
and welcome you back with open arms.

Sagittarians are quick to anger they tend to flare up over trifles
and minor misunderstandings. They are highly impatient, they want to
rush every thing through immediately and demand too much of
colleagues and family who cannot work at the pace they require. They
will scorn the inadequacies of others while expecting recognition of
their own efforts. They are domineering and inconsiderate, they
carrying extravagance and vulgarity to new levels. Their restless
nature can and will jeopardize more than their own stability. Male
Sagittarians run the most risk of becoming heartless playboys wasting
their lives on frivolous pursuits and dangerous past-times. Female
Sagittarians being their equal counterparts in all they do run the
risk of being labelled cold and shallow.

They are superstitious by nature and deeply religious. They take
extreme care when dealing with the elderly and hold them in the
highest regard. They are patient and loving with elders [Cousin B]ding over
backwards to please them. It is everyone else around them that they
appear hypocritical in all they say and do. But being self assured
they cast if off and achieve all they set out to accomplish
regardless of the means, making them the most successful if not the
most under rated in the Zodiac.

The Male

This charming lover can be a poor choice as a husband. The symbol of
his sign is the Archer and he always on the hunt. He likes nothing
better than the chase, but once he as tasted his conquest off he
goes. As the song has it, "when he's not near the girl he loves, he
loves the girl he's near." He's perfectly sincere when he tells you
he loves you. And he will be perfectly sincere when he tells someone
else the same thing the next night. Whatever he believes at the
moment is true.

This is not because he has an insatiable sexual desire, but because
love to him is an elusive adventure, and unexplored path. He is
typically a footloose and fancy-free lover searching for his feminine
ideal. Along the way he manages to collect more than his share of
female admirers who can't help responding to his open, honest,
cheerful, patterned lovemaking. Sagittarius has a captivating sense
of humour; a deep sense of adventure and the woman he courts can
count on good times.

But don't expect illusions of grandeur, they are more apt to take you
for a casual dinner than dressed to the nines dinner. He is not
reluctant to spend money but simply because he prefers the easygoing
approach in all things. He hates whatever is artificial, pompous, or
pretentious.

He isn't interested in marriage or long-term relationships. He wants
to be in it for the fun and laughter and when that is done its time
to move on. However they can be caught in the security that a woman
is willing to give him to make him grounded. He is a traveller by
nature and needs to be taught the workings of commitment in order to
stay around. It may start off has a co-habiting relationship backing
away from marriage but if your blessed enough to win him over the
marriage aspect is there minus the paper making for happy days and a
happy life for you and your chosen one.

A word of caution though, you will have to read more than this mans
mind to get to the root of his feelings. Where there is smoke there
is always fire, temperamental to the extreme they will cast doubts in
your direction, making them a lost cause, the way they want it free
to be casual in their life with no commitments and responsibilities.
If you can handle casual love your in for a great time, if more
balance and order is required for you to feel complete and secure
then Sagittarius isn't for you.

I am sorry about your weekend; I am glad you rescued
it a bit, though. The Celtic fair sounds fun.

I think [Cousin B] will come around. You two are very
close, and it seems like he does trust and admire
you. This might just be a little rebellion thing he
had to get out of his system, and things will go
back to normal in a few days. Maybe let things
cool off this week, and touch base casually on
Friday or over the weekend?

Weird dream! I can't believe you are having wedding
nightmares, too!!!!!!!!

Our weekend was pretty good. Very quiet and low
key. It was nice doing nothing for a change. :)
Unfortunately, I slept badly last night and today is
shaping up to be crazy. On top of the work stuff, I
have to go in for an eye exam today. My last pair
of contacts ripped on Friday and I need new ones in
time for our Napa trip next Saturday. The last
thing I need right now is a big expense, but it has
to be done.... and I can't go to Napa in dorky
glasses. I look like a total spack right now. :)

We watched a buncha movies - if you haven't seen it
already, get Ghost World (2001) with Scarlett
Johansson and Thora Birch. Not a happy movie, but
it has some absolutely hilarious moments, and
excellent acting from everyone.

Oh, I got the recipe thing in the mail - thank
you!!! I am going to try to come up with one for
Thanksgiving. I will let you know how it goes.

LOVE YOU!!!

J-Law


==============


I was just really...stunned...by how much [Cousin B] hurt my feelings, and
that 'channeling [brother A]' thing just...whoa.

Unfo, we have Krav Maga classes scheduled all week, so we have to
spend time whether we're mad at each other or not...really, I am not
mad, just hurt and worried. And I'm sure, intellectually, that he
struck out at me so hard because I really hurt him, too. *sigh*

Please shoot me if I ever decide to put red and blue plastic rosettes
in my hair for a wedding. SO TACKY. I am still shuddering from that
dream.

I'm glad you had a good weeknd, sounds like you needed it.

At least being crazy busy at work will help the time pass. :)

Love ya!

evile: Hi. How was your weekend?
skye_dsDS: superlative :) how was yours (I've already read LJ this am)
evile: Glad to hear it. I saw some SCA folks at the Celtic Fest.
skye_dsDS: Shire of Fynnon Gath did a demo
skye_dsDS: I thought that our Shire would be joining them but everyone
was at Rose with us
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: and only one out of like half a dozen people from our shire
bothered to come speak to us, when usually they come over en masse
for a few minutes
evile: I had never been to Fiesta Gardens. It's a nice venue.
skye_dsDS: where is Fiesta Gardens?
evile: It's down by Town Lake, on the east side.
skye_dsDS: Randy has started regurgitating Karen bile
skye_dsDS: I'm not interested in hearing Karen bile, from Karen or
anyone else.
evile: That's too bad.
skye_dsDS: I sent out a very guarded feeler to the one friend who came
over to say hi
skye_dsDS: who responded with an equally guarded response
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: but I can tell we're on the same wavelength
skye_dsDS: and we're both trying to indicate that without giving each
other something to run back to Karen with (although I doubt she'd do
that and I suspect she knows I wouldn't either)
skye_dsDS: so my recent suspicions have been confirmed yet again from
another completely independent source
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: anyway, at one point it would have broken my heart to write
Randy off, but ya know what, oddly enough, I don't really care, not
right now anyway, t hat might change later
skye_dsDS: he wants to be his wife's meat puppet with her hand up his
ass, I got no time - people to do and places to see.
evile: yup
skye_dsDS: have an interview this afternoon with the COA (City of Austin)
evile: good luck :)
skye_dsDS: tante grazie
evile: I'm here untili 5 today, stupid post office mishegoss.
skye_dsDS: ew :(
evile: Oh well. could be worse--I could be stuck here till 6, if I
hadn't had phone duty during lunch time.
evile: And tonight is Krav. I plan on beating [Cousin B] to within an inch
of his life....i'm just in that kind of mood.
skye_dsDS: ruh roh Raggy - poor [Cousin B]
skye_dsDS: I wish weather every weekend was like it was this past
weekend. I'd be happy just going from spring to fall and back again,
minus too hot summers and nasty half assed attempts at winter
evile: he's fuckin up, and he doesn't seem to give a shit. And when
I tried to talk to him about it, he delivered ultimatums in very [brother A]-
like tone & words...so beatings must suffice.
evile: I will hate to see him turn into a worthless spoiled little
prince goldensprog can do no wrong like Uncle Bubba and [brother A]...but he
says that's his business, and he doesn't want to hear shit from me
about it.
skye_dsDS: to quote Acadiana (valkyriie), "men are difficult and exotic
creatures" ~ my own addendum - too bad they can't be kept in the zoo
when they're being difficult, like the other exotic creatures.
skye_dsDS: this past weekend my parents took our family prince
goldensprog and his live in pocket pussy to nascar races in Dallas
skye_dsDS: we were not invited
evile: well...I"m just thinking what the fuck is my love and caring
good for, if I can't save the people I love from ruining themselves
and their lives...but his choice.
skye_dsDS: we wouldn't have gone, of course, but it would have been nice
if they'd made the offer
evile: they probably knw you had plans, and weren't interested in
fucking white trash car bullshit?
skye_dsDS: true dat, but it had more to do with them taking [brother]
skye_dsDS: but whatever
skye_dsDS: I'm not really materialistically stuck on inheritances and
shit
skye_dsDS: so I don't really care if he squanders his and mine too while
they're still alive
evile: I mean, that's why you post your LJ schedule,r ight? to
coordinate with 'rents? at least partially...so probably shouldnt
get [Cousin B]t out of shape when people see 'oh, you have plans already, so
I won't bother you with mine'
skye_dsDS: I'll just hide and watch, and liberate the few family
heirlooms that aren't already mine, and the Library
skye_dsDS: and he can have what little they haven't let him squander,
after they die
skye_dsDS: I thought LJ would be a good way to coordinate with them, but
I know Mom never looks
skye_dsDS: because she calls me every week and asks me
evile: oh well...at least the lines of communication are open in some
way...better than the alternative.
skye_dsDS: they created him to be a monster, they're enabling him to be
a monster, he's their problem, they chose it. Again, I have No Time
for it.
skye_dsDS: but then, you are genuinely attached to your brothers.
skye_dsDS: I can't remember exactly when I stopped being attached to
mine, but it was sometime before he hit puberty.
evile: I'm pretty much done with [brother A] for now...I'd still give him a
kidney if he needed it but I dont want anything to do with the day to
day drama.
evile: I'm stuck with [Cousin B] for Krav class at least thru March, whether
he pulls his head out of his ass or not.
evile: And sineater...well, I love him, but if he'd rather not talk to
me, I'll just have to be OK with that.
skye_dsDS: I suppose if we were being the goldensprog princess
recipients of the spoiling and someone tried to take that away from
us, we'd probably snap and snarl back too...Probably, I guess.
evile: I was not trying to take anything, per se, just point out that
it wasn't really good for him in the long run to have no
consequences, or, worse, positive rewards, for fucking up.
skye_dsDS: sineater is having endoscopy done on Wed, to see if he has GERD,
a hiatal hernia, or ulcers
evile: Poor babe.
skye_dsDS: if he has ulcers, he's got to change some of his ways
skye_dsDS: ulcers = stress, and well ya know...
evile: yup
evile: Sweetie had that done a while back. Nasty chalky radioactive crap
to drink. Makes your poop white. Very unpleasant.
skye_dsDS: they want him there at 5 am in the morning. they want me to
stay the entire 4 hours he's sedated, rather than dropping him off
and coming back to get him
skye_dsDS: Hugh says it will be ok whenever I get here, with him in tow.
evile: *nod* I'm sure [Aunt L] could be called upon to take care of him,
if you need.
skye_dsDS: thankee kindly, but it isn't a problem
skye_dsDS: I just find it interesting what the standard of care is from
doctor to doctor
skye_dsDS: but I think they might more heavily sedate him for this than
for the wrist surgery
skye_dsDS: although, if they put him all the way under, I really don't
understand why I'm there.
skye_dsDS: if they fuck up, what am I supposed to do about it?
skye_dsDS: besides kill them of course, which I will do, and which won't
help anything
evile: *nod*
evile: sineater doesn't like me right now, or I'd volunteer to take a
sick day to let him rest and recover at my house afterwards...
skye_dsDS: I think he's going to have to handle the long hairs that get
up his ass (likes, dislikes and such) a little differently,
particularly if we find that he has ulcers.
evile: They have good drugs for acid reflux an such these days.
evile: I'll keep him in my thoughts, and if he decides he'd rather
snooze in a bed than in your office, I'm here. ANd I'm sure [Aunt L] is,
too.
skye_dsDS: thankee both kindly, I'll relay that to him :)
evile: cool.
evile: I am *so* not looking forward to Krav tonight. I'm still
hurting from fitness class Saturday. But the good news is in the
fighting classes, I'm not the newest or most pathetic student.
skye_dsDS: I was SO physically wiped out, tired and sleepy last night
evile: I bet.
skye_dsDS: I couldn't feel anything below my knees
evile: I was pretty low-energy all day yesterday.
evile: The highlight of my day was when Knighthorse and Kulilinei came by after
Celtic Fest to return the folding tables they borrowed.
skye_dsDS: :D
evile: They said they did pretty good, made thier booth fee back +
some.
skye_dsDS: we would have gone if we hadn't been at Rose Tourney
skye_dsDS: good thing we went to Rose tourney too, because if we hadn't
there would have been only one Eq competitor
evile: It was a fun time. Great music.
skye_dsDS: nobody should win that easily
evile: no...where's the fun in that?
skye_dsDS: I haven't interviewed in so long
skye_dsDS: I've run through every interview practice and advice I could
find at monster and other such places, and I still don't feel ready
evile: I never do, either. I hate interviewing.
skye_dsDS: nods. additionally, I'm feeling guilt
skye_dsDS: of course, part of being a soft doormat internally is almost
constant guilt.
evile: *nod* employers are in it to make money, and to get the most
from you while paying you the least they can....it's not personal,
it's business. ANd likewise, you want a job that pays you the most
for your time. It's just business
skye_dsDS: you mgiht consider AZO UTI, and unsweetened (except with
Stevia) cranberry juice.
evile: my stomach cant' take strongly acidic stuff anymore, m akes me
queasy. I will see if I can find the AZO stuff, and [Aunt L] sent me a
recipe for a cure that doesnt' sound too godawful.
skye_dsDS: know others have already suggested it, but I know that AZO
and cranjuice together work wonders
evile: I haven't had a UTI or yeast infection in ages...I guess this
is my punishment for all that nice Halloween nookie.
skye_dsDS: that's one nice thing about moderating carb intake, less
frequent uti/yeast, and it isn't as bad when it does happen.
evile: Hasn't happened to me in....years, literally. at least 4. I
could cheerfullly make it another several years before it happens
again.
skye_dsDS: I had gone about that long too, when they put me through the
POP experiment
skye_dsDS: and the next thing I know I have UTI and yeast from HELL
skye_dsDS: along with hot flashes of all things
skye_dsDS: "menopause"
skye_dsDS: excuse me, I'm 31, it ain't no fucking menopause
skye_dsDS: "wait, it will get better"
skye_dsDS: 3 months of it
evile: that truly sucks.
skye_dsDS: 3 months is too fucking long, give me back my full fucking
pill or I will fucking kill you, fucking capisce/
skye_dsDS: ?
evile: heh.
skye_dsDS: even regular courses of antibiotics give some women UTI /
yeast.
evile: yup. 'down there' is a very delicate ecosystem, apparently.
skye_dsDS: I never had a UTI or yeast till right before I graduated UT
skye_dsDS: doctor said I need to go to the bathroom right after sex
skye_dsDS: something about emptying the bladder being necessary to clear
t hings out after sex, and his germs and my germs not getting along
and blah blah blah
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: and this is necessary above and beyond washing up religiously
afterwards (which is a like duh)
evile: *smile* Just remembered one of Rollins' spoken word things on
that topic. Hilarious.
skye_dsDS: I really need to get my ears around some Rollins (as well as
Dead Can Dance0
evile: Something to the effect of 'they don't make a hallmark card to
thank your lover for washing you off after sex'
evile: launchcast fan stations, dude, I'm tellin ya.
skye_dsDS: nods.
skye_dsDS: next time he's not here for long periods of time, I intend to.
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: but he spends less and less time out of the office
skye_dsDS: and he doesn't listen to his Sirius anymore
evile: bummer.
skye_dsDS: he would be much happier if he'd take more time off like he
used to, and listen to Sirius while he's here.
evile: yup. his choice, though. He must be getting some satisfaction
out of his choices.
skye_dsDS: in addition to scalping him for fucking up my filing beyond
all recognition (and it STILL isn't completely fixed), would like to
scalp little intern Michael for busting Hugh's stereo
evile: yuck.
skye_dsDS: since I leave after Hugh does every night, one of these
nights I"m going to sneak his stereo home
skye_dsDS: get sineater to fix it
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: and come in early in the am beating Hugh here so he'll never
know
skye_dsDS: and just smile and say, I fixed it.
skye_dsDS: not because I want to take credit that isn't mine, but
because I know he would not like me taking it home and bringing it
back
skye_dsDS: see, he had this system he cobbled together himself, and he
loved it dearly, and it worked well
skye_dsDS: then his wife wanted to know whether to buy him for their
anniversary, a stereo for the office, or a projection tv
skye_dsDS: I said, well, he has a perfectly good office stereo, but I
don't know what he would make of a projection tv, he's never
mentioned wanting one to me, but then that doesn't mean he doesn't
want one
skye_dsDS: but then, I really can't imagine Hugh spending 1200$ on a tv
either...
evile: yup
skye_dsDS: so she bought him t his little bookshelf stereo that new
isn't as good as the used one Hugh put together
skye_dsDS: and then Michael fucked it up beyond recognition
evile: that sucks!!
skye_dsDS: if this were "his" stereo, he wouldn't care if I took it home
skye_dsDS: but Joyce gave it to him
skye_dsDS: and if anything were to happen to it, no matter how good my
intentions...
skye_dsDS: I suppose I could say, well, sineater and I went to dinner last
night, and I asked him to meet me here before, and he fixed it.
skye_dsDS: that way he gets credit for what he did.
evile: yeah.
skye_dsDS: sineater says he wants to work on it when he comes out of it
Wednesday
skye_dsDS: I'm doubtful about that
evile: Kulilinei says her ex had a similar procedure and was pretty out
of it for the whole day afterwards.
skye_dsDS: that's what I'm thinkin
evile: I would be surprised if he didn't end up pukin'.
skye_dsDS: you can't tell him any of that, so I don't bother anymore
skye_dsDS: I just prepare
evile: yeah
skye_dsDS: time to go! wish me luck!
evile: luck!!
