As a kid I used similar newspapers to line the cages of my fathers pet clinic so that they could absorb the brunt of the excerment that was sure to be unleashed. Very very useful in my opinion. Youd be suprised at the “load” these papers can handle.
However the ink often ran when things got messy, so that is why it is a total waste of ink.

It isnt useless at all! As a kid I used similar newspapers to line the cages of my fathers pet clinic so that they could absorb the brunt of the excerment that was sure to be unleashed. Very very useful in my opinion. Youd be suprised at the “load” these papers can handle.
However the ink often ran when things got messy, so that is why it is a total waste of ink.

Wow! Dates or weekend getaways every Friday night… I’m jealous!
Next time you can set a meetup up for another night, but I see how my working friends suffer when I make them drink with me on a week night. Last time the party ended at, what, 2am?

I have a similar social calendar to Cbad, you people are great, but I can’t make it on a Friday night. I’ll try to make the next one.

This song is for all you going on dates Fri night
“Sometime Around Midnight”, so much like Bowie’s Heroes.

Band Review
“If The Edge from U2 and Ian McCollough from Echo and the Bunnymen loved each other very much and had a baby, I think it would sound a little like this.” Joe, Review #16 here rips the band in such witty prose I cant decide what is better, the song or the critique. And I though only Allan could mix capitalism, proletarianism, the Killers, diamonds and Grey Goose Vodka in a music review.

I did not go to the prior get-together, nor have I ever been to Callahan’s. How do you arrange to meet up? Is it the group wearing little house lapel pins? Or pigs?

Well I know what Rich looks like and JP and equalizer and a few others, and I also have a shirt with two pigs on it but it might be in the laundry right now… Anyway we all found each other last time, no problem.

I need to bury this, as he reads these boards, but I don’t think he will read this thread. He is into finance and cars. We have free subscriptions to Motor Trend and Automobile and they are crappy magazines. Have a paid subscription to Kiplingers, it is basic and simple. Any ideas? I hope you are all having a great time at the meetup!

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “outed.” I think most people must know my gender by now and if that’s what you mean, then I’m ok w/it, particularly since I was never really hiding anything. But I can see how it’s easy to misinterpret gender sometimes, since after UR’s comments, I was laughing at my surprise.

I was thinking the same thing, CBAD. My youngest just turned 5 and I am a sucker for a baby.
Sorry I missed it. The weather was so nice that my son begged to have some friends over after school to go swimming. Somehow, it didn’t seem right to say “sorry, mommy wants to go out drinking”. I hope to make it next time.

The good thing about my boy still being a baby is that he cant say shit. However, he can start getting fussy and compel my lady and I to leave, though.
