Taking the day off. Boss says clients are coming by the office so I'm not to be around. Hubby, bless his heart, says I look like someone tried to drown a kitten.
So, whatcha wanna know?

You know, don't answer that. I don't want to know who doesn't like watermelon. These people do not exist to me.
an excuse for me to post this cat eating watermelon video again.

(10,624 posts)it exists, and correspondingly, it displaces something else. All things exist in the pattern, and there can be nothing in the place of something else, and the universe is in order that way. Some people say this is trying to force my will upon the pattern, but that is not valid. The pattern is what it is, and I only comment upon that fact.
And I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

However, as concerns your own sexiness: just be you. Don't be a slob but don't be some pretentous GQ wannabe either. Have a sense of humor but don't be a show-off. Don't stuff a sock down your pants trying to impress us; it's not like we won't find out the truth. If you made it past the first 30 minutes of a date you're already on the 20-yard line. Don't panic, we'll handle the rest.
You're already sexy, so just be you.

(10,624 posts)I work in an office, so I'm usually in khakis with button down shirts. I've been gradually replacing my plaid "PTA Dad" shirts with solid colors (because I think they look bolder and a little dressier).
I can't get too wild with my clothes because the clients would think I was either 1)slacking off or 2)getting too fancy (off of their dime).
I worry that I have become a Kermit-the-Frog kind of guy, or at least that I come off that way. Mild-mannered, bland.
I know I'll never be a wild man (someone called me that last week, ironically ), but I feel like I have a sensitive, tortured, artistic soul. I want to get that across a little, in a way that women would find appealing.
I don't want to try and be something that I'm not. I'm just trying to think of ways of bringing my true self to the forefront a little more. (In a way that would be appealing).
That says a lot about a man.
Yer welcome.

(19,497 posts)I *think* I zonked out sometime around 5 last night. I woke-up just after 3am with hubby snoring next to me, the TV still on. I went to the kitchen to get something to eat and saw he had brought home tomato bisque and grilled sandwhiches (chicken, ham, cheese and -- pickles?!?! Hey, it works.) from one of those franchises masquerading as a NY deli. I warmed it up in the nuker which unfortunately woke-up mah manz but we had a very late dinner together.
Less than half an hour later I was asleep again in his arms. I feel like one of those animals you see on a nature show after they get shot with the tranquilizer gun.

(19,497 posts)which included my dad and -- well, pretty much only my dad -- I'd make an excellent candidate. I figure with 1:300,000,000,000 of the US popular vote I have a chance for an 11th-hour victory.
My campaign slogan is, "Optomism. It should work this time."
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I have had "youthful indiscretions" and I have another one penciled-in for Saturday night. Hopefully, that doesn't diminish your support for my candidacy.
