Posted Comments
Ok--so over the holidays, someone, who didn't leave their name, posted numerous times, with the same couple of comments, concerning the content on my site. I would like to say that I take what that person had to say to heart and have removed the photos from the site. However, these people have posted their information, publicly on a dating site. So, therefore, it is in the public domain. In any case, I am sorry if I have offended anyone reading this site, and if you have proper criticisms, that is great and I am happy to hear them.

And from the looks of it...it will be many more months

Because yet again, I have another winner emailing me from the personals--no wait, he emailed my friend a couple of months ago:

Hi:
I saw your personal here on Yahoo and wanted to respond with some information about myself.
I am 5'11" tall, 180 pounds, 40 years old, brown hair, hazel eyes, handsome, intelligent, witty, charming, romantic, spontaneous, and have a good sense of humor.
I am currently married and am looking for a mistress. To start with, not all relationships are traditional, so yes my wife knows. I have been VERY successful in business so I want to find someone who I can spoil ... shopping trips, gifts, travel, help with bills/rent etc. Spoil me with you attention and affection and I will spoil you.
To tell you more I have many passions in life... scuba diving, downhill skiing, hiking, biking, roller bladeing, the performing arts (the Orchestra and Theater), boating, fine dining with a great bottle of wine, sunsets on the beach in the Caribbean, world travel and much more.
If you are seriously interested write back and tell me more about yourself. Please feel free to ask any questions, I won't be offended. I have pictures I can e-mail you.

At least he is honest!

Bathroom Incidents
Mood:  smelly
Ok, so I thought I entered this in here before, but apparently not. Today at my new office, I was reminded about a couple of bathroom incidents that occurred at my old job.

Well, everyone knows about the office restrooms and how they can sometimes pose as their own little private hell...for example, in my current workplace we actually have keys to get into the bathroom. Apparently they had a problem with people coming in off the street to use the restrooms, so now we all have keys. The worst thing I have encountered here has been the norm...unflushed toilets...messy seats, etc...however, there was one person who was in a stall while I was in there and I could have sworn that I heard paper rustling. No, I thought, that couldn't be. Well, I was washing my hands when this person emerged from the toilets and with no amount of embarrassment or anything and proceeds to fold up said papers and tuck them under her arm. Now, let me say that I can understand the thought to take something in there, but seriously folks, that is so unnecessary. You are not at your house and if you do make the bad decision to take reading materials into the restroom, at least have the decency to hide it from everyone else.

Now, with that being said, the real restroom tragedies occurred at my old job. There I was happily headed to the bathroom early one afternoon. I walked in and opened the door to the second stall only to be greeted with what can only be described as a feces explosion. It was on the seat, it was on the back of the stall wall. It was everywhere and it was disgusting.

So, this brought up a few questions...first and foremost how in the hell does something like that happen? Secondly, if it were some sort of freak accident and it happened to any normal person, wouldn't you attempt to clean it up so as to make sure no one knew what happened, what YOU had done? How can you just leave it all there. Thirdly, how awful must that be for the folks that have to clean it up? Horrible.

Now, that was bad, but the worst part is that this happened, not once, but twice in our bathroom--in the same stall, although the second time it was just in a big pile next to the toilet. How messed up do you have to be to completely miss the toilet and if it is a medical thing, which I understand, wouldn't it be prudent to perhaps telecommute? I really don't understand what people are thinking.

Long Time
I have been very bad about updating this site, but I am working on a few things. Not that it really matters, since I am the only one who both reads and writes on this page, but at least I am making myself feel better...over a month is too long...

P.S. I won $250 playing bingo this past week in Fort Myers while visiting my mother. It was stressful, but worth it.

Holy Hell

Another Personals Winner
Mood:  incredulous
Ok--I have to interrupt the Syracuse fun for this. These are the kind of men I apparently attract. I got this email from another Yahoo! personals member. I now give you this email...in its entirety.

Nice to see a woman who knows what she wants...desires and knows what she is...very nice
indeed...delicious...Very nice...I think you should
add beautiful to your description...very very
nice......you are a beautiful sexy desirable
woman....I am very much interested in you....Do you
like what I have to offer?...I was wondering if you
might like to talk further... Just a quick note and
request...in my spare time I refurbish and put
together computers for elderly, handicapped and
families with children that can not afford
them....let's just say it is my way of balancing the
scale for my other activities...heheehe...nothing like seeing a two or four year old watching Elmo dance around the screen. You would be amazed how thankful people are to take what many of us discard as being obsolete and cherishing it for the newfound joy and information it brings into their lives. Most people start thinking about upgrading their computers and donating around this time of the year...if you know of anyone that might be willing to part with an old computer or software when they might be upgrading I would be most appreciative if you would let me know. I am able to pick them up at your notice. So...do you have any video or books, software or dvds you do not want? I can pick them up. Would you care to safely explore with Me within your completely negotiable consenting limits? Are you ready? I am looking for a woman who is incredibly passionate and enjoys intimacy in every form ...you would be open..honest...compassionate and highly capable of a deep physical and mental relationship that is both intense and varied...you would also like Me be a dichotomy of two personalities...on the one hand you are an adventure seeking...world traveling...no holds barred...Lets have lots of fun ...bold exploring within your consenting limits kind of woman but you are also a practical .. down to earth ...successful professional ...happy ...sensual ... sensitive ...
caring and sexy you are willing to be adventurous in
intimacy...both mentally and physically ...willingness to sensually sexually explore the mindset of the erotic...safely with Me within your completely negotiable consenting limits...is that you? Thanks

Syracuse: Day 2
Ok, this is a second attempt at posting this information, as when I tried last week for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to close my browser before actually posting the entry. Perhaps I shouldn't be trying to update my blog while at work and things like this won't happen...

Now, Syracuse, Day 2. Well, it began innocently enough with a trip to the refrigerator to begin the rehydration portion of the day. Even though it was 8am and we had only gotten home at 4am for some reason Big B was awake as well. We opted to settle into what would be our daily battle position in the living room to watch some digital cable. I put my contacts in only to find out something was amiss. I thought perhaps in my drunken stupor I had mixed them up and placed the wrong ones in the wrong eyes, so I took them out, reversed them and tried again. This did not seem to be the case as my right eye vision was still somewhat blurred and now so was my left, so I switched them back. The left eye was a-ok, the right was not. At this point, I was exhausted from all that moving about and had to sit back down in the living room where we proceeded to watch hours of the digital radio stations. While we were watching we also discussed possible solutions to the fact that something was terribly wrong with my contact. I deduced that instead of throwing my old pair out with one left and one right, I instead mixed them up and ended up with two left contacts which were now in both of my eyes. We called my eye doctor to see if he could fax a prescription. His answer was a flat no, due to the fact that it had been 2 years since my last visit. We finally decided I would have to go to Wal-Mart and get my eyes checked again. I would like to note that at this point, we had been watching the digital radio for about 4 hours so it is obvious that we were not thinking clearly, possibly due to the previous drunken evening.
I finally pry myself up off of the fabulous leather chair which had become my home, to cleanse myself for the Wal-Mart visit. I decided to remove my contacts prior to getting the exam. When I removed my right contact, I noticed that in fact, two contacts have been in my eye the entire time. I still have no idea how that happened and have decided to chalk it up to a stupid drunken incident--at least by proxy. In any case, that left us free of having to visit a Wal-Mart that day and gave us more time to spend drinking Captain Morgan and Cokes later that afternoon and still not making it to the Great New York State Fair. More on day 2 to come...not that anyone cares, but me that is.

Syracuse: Day 1
Ok, so I just returned from a visit to Syracuse, NY for Labor Day and I admit that I should be doing work, but am instead posting things on my blog. I just wanted to get in a quick entry of the massive festivities that occurred this drunken weekend. Now, I know at 27, I should be slowing down a little bit on the boozing, but come on, what is a person to do when they go and visit their best friend from college but drink?

I arrived in Syracuse already hungover from an accidental evening on the town the night before. I headed to the mall to wait for my friend to finish working. I did some shopping, but there is only so much shopping one person can do and still be able to fit their belongings into the suitcases to go back home. After the shopping I attempted to be good and go to a movie, but none were playing at the right time, so that lead me to the happy hour at the Pizzeria Uno. 4 tall beers later and my friend comes to meet me. We then go to Bennigan's (you can see what a happening town Syracuse is) because they were having a tent party. The band there was pretty good albeit playing pretty much covers. Nothing major happened at this venue, save for all the Harley riders that were in attendance--oh and some bikini modeling team or something that spent more time in the bathroom than at the party.

We then moved on to a place called the Thompson Road Tavern--I think--I only heard the full name once and then it was referred to as the TRT. This place was awesome, even though it was about the size of my office. They did have darts and pool, so that was good. My friend Big B and I pretty much kicked ass at the darts, but I got handily beaten at pool. It is now 2am and we are hungry. We had been talking about eating since about 6pm, but hadn't been successful in that endeavor. At this point our only option was dun dun dun...Denny's. Three chain restaurants in one day. Scary. I will say they had the best buffalo wings I had ever eaten along with some fabulous seasoned fries. Who knew Denny's had expanded their menu to include not only regular fries, but seasoned ones as well!!! The end of the evening came around 4am when we stumbled home only to have Big B freak out when her boyfriend was actually asleep in her room. Ahhh the memories. More to come when Day 2 hits in a few...And, it gets better...

Internet Spam
I really wish the Internet Spam people would stop emailing me with offers to by cheap versions of windows xp and other assorted software. Also, apparently I have been emailing a ton of people that I don't know as I keep receiving 'undeliverable' messages concerning things I have no knowledge of. I hope it isn't one of my other personalities sending all this information out...
