Plank removed from my eye, too late for WAW? 7

Hey Heim,

Dunno, everything finally sunk in, I guess. I'm stubborn, but at least semi-intelligent.

Well, that we know. Everyone travels at their own speed, though. Glad to hear it's sinking.

From a practical matter, acting as I was wasn't helping matters. So.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner.

But seriously, Heim, good for you. And this has got to be good for your girls, too, methinks.

Have a good weekend with your Sopranos and football. And please, god, don't let me come back to a slip a la Heim!

You're doing great. Take care. Funny, brainy, beautiful blonds await.

Which teams do you follow? What's up w/ the Sopranos, reruns?
Do you watch Entourage, maybe i have asked that before, its freakin awesome. I love Ari.

[Heimlich]

Mostly the Saints, but I watch waaaaay too much football and read waaaaay too many of the websites during football season. Generally know what's going on with the Redskins because I read the Wash Post.

Sopranos, dunno, saw the last episode during the summer when I helped move my brother into his apartment. Thought, hmm, that's pretty good. Rented the first disc a few weeks later and I've been watching them ever since.

Yeah, Entourage. Awesome. I remember you saying that you're like Ari, only taller or something. Great show. Loved Deadwood as well. Thought Rome was good too. Nudity rules!

Hey Heim!

How was your weekend? Feeling good?

Three pieces of info/trivia for you from my weekend camping:

1) Beautiful blond friend is okay with Hawaiian shirts as long as they're "vintage." That mean anything to you?

2) One of the campers was a TV/screenwriter, so I got all the lowdown on the latest shows without having to actually watch any TV. Very cool.

3) You can start a fire with a Brazil nut.

Take care.

Hey H and Puddle! Good to have u back!

H
"Nudity rules" - especially now and the 2D version has not emotional baggage and generally never turns u down!

Puddle
How does she feel about Type A personalities??

What are the good shows?

Good weekend.

Felt like doing absolutely nothing Friday night. Mission accomplished. Played a bit of a wargame on the PC I like. Watched a little TV. Went to friends Saturday afternoon to hang out and watch UFC that evening. Met my W in his room in college. Found the group house in DC where his W lived. We're each responsible for meeting the other's W. Anyway, we've been friends (W included) since undergrad with J and grad school with K. W has cut off contact with both of them. She was going to drop the girls off at their place on Saturday afternoon (she had taken them to HS musical, Disney on Ice). K was a little upset that my W won't even talk to her. Told her I'm not responsible for that, but she's cut off contact with anyone who she might be embarrassed to speak to/remind her of how good of a couple we were for a long time.

Anyway, K came outside when the W dropped the girls off. Wasn't paying much attention to her, but she seemed pretty tense and not nearly as friendly with K as she had been in the past. Whatever. Very unattractive aspect of W's personality. She'll just shut herself off so that she doesn't have to think of any mistakes/feelings she might be making (a fairly accurate interpretation of knowing her for as long as I have, at least I'm pretty sure).

Anyway, she left. Girls played with their 4 year old girl and 1 year old boy -- as did I. Good time was had by all.

GD, dude, were those fights nice or what at UFC? BSed with J for a good while. Always a good thing.

Hung out at their place today. All went apple picking around 4. Just got home about an hour ago. Girls had fun. I had fun.

Good weekend.

No idea what W did. Care, but don't.

1. yeah, vintage. I've not found one that I both like and that will fit me well. I look off and on. I don't do cheap hawaian shirts (yes, I realize how weird that sounds). All rayon, coconut buttons, pocket and seams have to match.
2. Back off CVA.
3. A brazil nut? Do tell. Please.

Just want to kick in my nickels workth here Heim.

Any friends of my H that I became pals with their W's during the "good" parts of my M have just shut me off completely. Sort of the reverse of your sitch. Kind of like they got my H is the separation...Very weird and immature IMO. None of them will talk to me anymore. None answered my calls or emails. I got the msg loud & clear. It hurt but I have gotten over it. Guess they just weren't true pals anyway...or not capable of being mature enough to maintain both friendships.

Ironically, my gal pals have reacted similarly to the sitch. Flat out told their H's that they got me in the separation. Didn't hurt as much since my H was such a shut in they rarely saw him or got to know him anyway.

I am sure others on this site can commiserate on both sides of this issue. I assume its something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. Always bumping into a former friend...a Pre-D friend as I am going to start to call them.

[Not Much Left]

Yikes! Sorry H. Just having some fun! Sorry again, I will tone it down. Been thinking of laying off for a while anyway.

[Heimlich]

Joking, CVA. No worries. That didn't come across here the way it sounded in my head. Sorry.

My W and I don't have a huge circle of friends. I just think it's sad and immature of my W to not even want to speak with someone she's known, and been pretty good friends with, for nearly 12 years. Of course, this is the woman who didn't speak to her dad, who she loves dearly, for just over a month because he disagreed with her decision about us back in April. She couldn't bear to hear a contrarian viewpoint. Like, OMG, I MIGHT be wrong. Can't have that talk.

Anyway. Back to work.

And, WAW, how was the pub crawl?

[Puddle]

Hey Heim!

Sounds like your weekend went really well. I especially like the planning not to do anything, not doing anything, and being good with that.

Your time with the girls sounds lovely.

I'm happy to hear you're still hanging with the friends, even if W isn't. What do you mean by you said, "I'm not responsible for that?" Did you mean she chooses what she's going to do (in general) or you haven't put pressure on her to back off?

It's always weird to see the WAS be down and cut off friends. Aren't they supposed to be happy and at peace with their decisions? I guess not.

Okay, keep up the vintage search. Brazil nuts, when heated, act like a little coal: we heated one and it actually started the entire fire. Amazing.

Other things I learned from these folks who work on TV shows (and have to deal with costumes, I guess): flour on grease stains sucks enough oil out that when you wash the garment, the oil's totally gone, and white wine takes out red wine stains. Oh, and dumping pumpkin innards on a bonfire makes a lovely, subtle potpourri smell.

CVA, writer claims Madmen is the best TV show ever written, and the Wire is the best cop show ever. Said that show about the 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-, and 60-year-old couples (with "unsimiluated" sex) is the most depressing show out there, despite all the nudity and getting it on. So there you go.

Hope you're all doing well. Take care.
