Its ok -t I know you will be back, once you've been here once you always seem to get sucked back to Knoxville eventually. Heh I saw an article in the NYtimes that said locals refer to it as the "couch" "Its a place too unassuming to shout about but too comfortable to leave. "

goo, I was actually quite warm. Having proper gear on makes all the difference. That, and exercising makes your own heat. Plus Colorado being dry doesn't feel as cold as you might think.

Eh, speaking from experience, it's not so bad. You get over the feeling silly pretty quickly and then you're better able to focus fully on the obedience.

I am glad to see my mini-crush on loiseau is totally justified.

Thanks for reminding me how beautiful y'all are! *starts getting ready for Valentine's Day*

Not going to fall for that one - I know better than to guess a woman's age ;-)

Oh, yeah!
posted by dg 31 October | 16:12
Sticky, I'm fine with being my age. It's one of the serenity prayer things you know, "accept the things that you can't change". And I'm much better at being 44 than I was at being 33 or 22.

38/very F/SF

I won't post a picture link as most of you probably know what I look like: I am the girl licking a beer glass that was on the MeCha front page [for faaaaar too long!]

True story: when I first started chatting online and people kept asking me 'asl?', I was completely confused. I finally got terribly irritated with some poor guy and asked why on earth he needed to know if I could sign. He, of course, couldn't figure out what I meant, so I pointed out that American Sign Language was a moot point if he was using a keyboard.

I'm sure he thought I was smoking crack.

44 and 47 are old? Not bloody likely.
posted by deborah 31 October | 21:32
44 is old. I know, I am there. I feel like dirt, and that's supposed to be old, and you're only as old as you feel after all. Dig me baby.
posted by eekacat 31 October | 21:47
44 is not old. It's simple - if 44 is old, then 47 is even older and, because I'm 47 and not old, this proves that your theory is incorrect.
posted by dg 31 October | 22:18
No, it only proves that you are not dirt.

posted by dg 31 October | 22:39
And where do you think the phrase "dirty old man" comes from anyways?
posted by eekacat 31 October | 22:40
octothorpe, sonny, tack a decade on that and get back to me.
posted by StickyCarpet 01 November | 09:37
I'm much better at being 44 than I was at being 33 or 22

Oh, and ain't that the truth? I had a friend who was a French diplomat and business titan, and he was just the most suave, the most correct, and simply the coolest guy I'd ever met.

"How the hell do you do it?", I asked him. He replied, "when I was your age, I was a bigger asshole than you are."
