Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Anyone home? I'm assuming there has been much learning and personal growth here over the past, oh, 10+ years since I participated here regularly. Anyone got any life lessons they would like to share? Mine is "don't try and force stuff to fit someone else's expectations." Growing up, my dea...

Hi everyone I hope you're all well.

I check in every six months or so.

If anyone has been feeling terrible about life for the last few weeks, I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure I've been taking all the juju that everyone else was relying on, because the last couple days I've woken up early and been prdocutive in the mornings, I've made new friends, gone on a day trip to San Fr...

I'm dead, but only on the inside.

I live in Arizona still. Working in IT for an airline.

Happy Christmas Harry.

Fun fact: I occasionally refer to myself as "we." Drives people nuts.

Since my new job literally has given me nothing to do in the 8 weeks that I've been there (literally literally, not figuratively literally), I've been reading books from my teenage years. Specifically, the Eragon series. The books are a lot worse than they seemed when I was a kid (poorly written, et...

Hi everyone.

Tomorrow is Portia's 10-year-iverssary of being on the Board board, I just noticed in my monthly lurk.

The grocery store next to my apartment has had Gatorade on sale for $.58 a piece if you buy 12. At one point there was 12 in my fridge. Then there was 0, then there were 12 more, and now I'm back to I think 6. Favorite flavor of the 24 (obviously I bought 24 different flavors) was Watermelon Citrus,...

Yeah...inspiration had its limits, and I've heard of way too many health things being handled poorly to think that it's a good idea to put a guy with no healthcare training in a position to essentially give or withhold access to medical treatment. Fortunately, my mission president was a cardio-thor...

Well, if the police had to stop you, that's proof you were up to no good, right? I honestly believe that (when black skin is involved, anyway) that's literally all the justification plenty of people need. Seriously. My parents had the cops called on them once over a neighborhood parking dispute (&q...

Hello team they're finally letting me leave Lima Ohio this weekend after three weeks. Although to be fair I've had some fantastic food at the two company parties I went to for this company in the last two days. (Yesterday was bacon wrapped sirloin, salmon and some kind of fancy rice, delicious ceasa...

I just want to say that when D.A.R.E. was a kid his dad got a vasectomy, and when he got home after his procedure he walked in the door and D.A.R.E. punched him in the wiener as a joke (because boys think that's funny?), not realizing he'd just had a vasectomy. Ya, so I wanted to see why my brother...

I once won first place in a county math contest in Arizona in 6th grade.

Oh we're still facebook friends! I forgot about that a little bit.

Shhhhh.... I'll get there by the end of the week. Not much else to do in Lima OH.
