Members Zamfir Posted July 15, 2009 Members Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I won't be in a band for the remainder of my time here. Work demands just won't permit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bonoman Posted July 16, 2009 Members Share Posted July 16, 2009 Originally Posted by Zamfir ...pics or she doesn't exist. B'man, in all seriousness...what is your gut telling you about this marriage? Not the "this is good, that is not" balance of factors. Your gut instinct, yes or no: can you stick it out 50+ years with her and still love her? Because the trust thing and your general mood about the wedding recently cause me concern. It's normal to have second thoughts before a wedding. But listen to your instinct. I chose to overlook some warning signs before I got married, and it's made for some really excruciating times down the road. Well, you've known me for a few years and you knew me when I was very single, so I'm sure you know that 'settling down' isn't exactly my natural state, but that said, Red is the best thing that ever happened to me. I think that we're both just going through stress overload right now and that has led to some strain and strangeness. I know she feels bad about opening the letter and I'm pretty sure she'll never do anything like that again. I want this wedding, not because I want to be married, but because it really does feel like the right thing to do. She really is my best friend. We are an amazing couple. So even though I'm complaining and bitching and whatever, that's more just venting because of all the outside stresses (family, coordinating the trip for 40 people, money, etc.). But I very much appreciate your concern, my friend. It means a lot. And if I come in here and complain, I would expect you to call me on it like you just did. It's good for me. Helps me to sort out my thoughts and keep them in check. Like the best friend comment above - I've never really considered that before, but now that you made me think of it I realize it's true.

Members Hearafter Posted July 16, 2009 Members Share Posted July 16, 2009 Trust me, if you're getting married, {censored} like this is a bump in the road. You'll get over it, she'll get over it... it's really quite trivial. The fact that you acknowledged that it's trivial, speaks volumes of your relationship. Here's to a long and fruitful marriage, bro! (P.S. I'm coming up on my 10 year anniversary this year... so I would hope that my comments would hold a bit of water...)

Members Thumper Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 I picked up a whole smoked mackerel and a tin of Polish Spam (Konserwa Wojskowa Army-brand chopped portk pattie loaf) at Viktor's Deli in Tigard yesterday. I love smoked fish, and how can you top Polski Spam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zamfir Posted July 20, 2009 Members Share Posted July 20, 2009 Tomorrow, I go do my second prison visit. When you tell me that you give me permission to tell your "friend" Oleg, whose last name you don't know, to contact your mom about your detention, I begin to scratch my head about you.

Members Zamfir Posted July 20, 2009 Members Share Posted July 20, 2009 Oh damn, I nearly forgot the really funny story today. German chick, with US relatives, went to the US with her boyfriend in late 2007, they broke up, then she found out she was pregnant. She stayed 109 days over what was permitted by law (max of 90 days for a tourist without a visa) before leaving in early 2008. Why? Well, she had an abortion. See, doctor's note and everything! Except the abortion happened 48 days after the last day she was supposed to leave the country. Not exactly, say, like catching pneumonia just before day 90 when she should've been on a plane. There's one waittress / vocational trainee who won't be getting a visa for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget who was workin' the Chicago meatpackers when Upton Sinclair was writing. I might even bet they exported all sorts of ideas that helped out the communists several decades later when they ran into shortages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
