[enree erzweglle]

I'm here and I posted in the penis thread. :) I came here to post in a different thread that someone forwarded to me, I saw the dicks discussion, I couldn't resist looking in there and then I posted.

How is your baby?! I've thought about you two!

[jackrock]

[enree erzweglle]

[ms.peachy]

Bean is good. She's kciking up a storm this evening; not sure if that means she liked the big fudge brownie we ate or that I drank one too many cups of tea or what, but she's doing a bit of a tango at the moment.

Awwww, it's a girl! I used to call my boy a bean when I thought he was the size of one. You're doing well. That is so great! You guys--between your beans and your peachies, you sure do like your produce. :p

[mickill]

It feels so warm and cozy in this thread.

All the other threads are so cold...so unfamiliar...

[Qdrop]

dude...enree...

tell us a story.

[hpdrifter]

Tell us a story about where you've been on your hiatus.

*lays down on the floor on stomach, propping head up with hands, and kicking legs back and forth*

[synch]

Wheee!

*assumes same position as hpdrifter but looks far less cute doing so*

[mickill]

Wheee!

*assumes same position as hpdrifter but looks far less cute doing so*
*kicks synch in ribs and shoves him over Qdrop's way and takes his spot*

*assumes same position as hpdrifter and looks equally cute doing so*



Fetch us some hot cocoa, cosmo, would ya?

[synch]

Ha! I was next to Q-drop, you kicked me in a better spot.

And your ass looks big when you lay down like that.

Someone had to say something, dude.

[mickill]

Ha! I was next to Q-drop, you kicked me in a better spot.

Ew, why's this spot all sweaty and why does it smell like garlic? And my ass is perfect. According to cosmo and kll, anyway.

[kleptomaniac]

*plops herself down on a beanbag chair*


i didn't miss the story, did i?

[Qdrop]

everyone stop shoving me!...
i'm trying to listen...

asshats....

[hpdrifter]

Dude, post a picture of your ass, I'll tell you definitively whether or not it is perfect.

[mickill]

Dude, post a picture of your ass, I'll tell you definitively whether or not it is perfect.
Already have. It's in the family album somewhere.

[synch]

Ew, why's this spot all sweaty and why does it smell like garlic? And my ass is perfect. According to cosmo and kll, anyway.
It's oozing from Q over there, not even his wit and charm can save it.

Cosmo and kll turned to eachother, covered their mouths and giggled like japanese school girls after you left the room. "Perfect" wasn't exactly the term they used to describe your ass...

[hpdrifter]

Already have. It's in the family album somewhere.

Not cool, dude. Who has 3298509589045860934 hours to dig through the family album? Kick me down a page number or something.

[mickill]

Cosmo and kll turned to eachother, covered their mouths and giggled like japanese school girls after you left the room.
What are you a racist? What kind of deliberately hurtful stereotyping is that, Walto?

[ms.peachy]

Great job scaring her away again, guys :rolleyes: Like she'll ever want to hang out with us again now

[cosmo105]

*pours hot cocoa in mickill's lap*

[mickill]

Not cool, dude. Who has 3298509589045860934 hours to dig through the family album? Kick me down a page number or something.
It's on page five hundred and twenty-heaven, baby.

Blame synch, ms peachy. It was that creepy vibe of his again.

[synch]

I apologise to all non-giggling japanese school girls for that comment.

It was hurtful and not well thought out.

Just like Cleveland.

Sure, side with the racist.

You racistist.

[enree erzweglle]

You wanna know where I've been? You suuuuuuuuuuurrrrre?

Here: My kid joined the Army National Guard as part of his university's RoTC program.

He will be on active duty as soon as he graduates or if he can't maintain their QPA requirements.

Isn't that lovely. I've so been waiting for this day and to see him in fatigues and sporting those enviable dog tags.

"What's your son's blood type, ma'am?"
"Why do you want to know?"

As part of the 6-year contract that he signed, they gave me a generous parent's package, which includes a tee shirt and an awesome GO-GUARD! bumper sticker! (y) (y) Which, were I to use it as intended, would sort of negate my peace sign bumper sticker.

I learned that bumper stickers like that GO-GUARD! one and their gummy backings absolutely clog shredders. I hand-picked all of the partly shredded bits out of the shredder and tried to reshred those bits into smaller shredded bits, but no go. I tried, long and hard, to find a satisfying way to destroy the unshredded bigger bit into nothingness, but I couldn't figure it out so I burned it. The tee shirt I'm saving up for when he goes to boot camp and advanced infantry training. I'm thinking that I want to do something very special to that tee shirt. I have threeish months before I have to decide what that something is. Boot camp/AIT takes five months, so I can draw it out. Make it last.

The up side: I am absolutely addicted to the feel of his shaved head. When he sees me getting teary, he comes over to me and without saying anything, bends down, sort of presents his head. He knows the peach fuzz makes me laugh. A friend suggested that an up side to this is that we'll save money from SuperCuts. I cling to those thoughts: at last, a savings of $12.50/month. (y) (y)

I exercise away my angst. :p

[kleptomaniac]

the story was a nice break from the tension between the guys...


hi enree! i'm dana! woohoo! :D :o

[synch]

I managed to get off of my lazy ass to shave my head, long overdue...

Must have done something wrong though because there are hardly any queues to feel my peach fuzz.

On an unrelated note, I misread the shaved head bit and for a few seconds thought that you had shaved your head.

Was trying to immagine how that would look :D

[enree erzweglle]

Hi, Dana. :D

That someone called someone else an asshat in here is just so this place.
I love that.

I've got to go back over to the penis thread now. After I shave my head. :p (I so miss these icons. And you guys too. :o)

[hpdrifter]

I can't imagine having a son right now. What does active duty mean for the guard? Will he go overseas or stay here?

[enree erzweglle]

I can't imagine having a son right now. What does active duty mean for the guard? Will he go overseas or stay here?
From what I can tell, it could mean either thing. During hurricane relief, the National Guard surrounded the buildings where Red Cross staff slept and worked and I got to know those people and had HUGE respect for them. That was the first time I'd ever really even heard of the Guard. Little did I know...

The Guard has also been overseas too. I think it just depends on the need at the time.

I wouldn't have made the decision that he did--I'm just too left of center to support that sort of effort across the board, you know? And he's actually much more left of center than I am, so this will play out interestingly.

It's good in a lot of ways that he's doing it--it was completely his decision, totally out of my hands and into his and that's a good thing. I look at the bright side: his miles (running times) have improved--he runs a mean mile now and has left me in the dust. And can do far many more crunches than I can and with the right form. We have crunch-a-thons. :D

[jabumbo]

free for lunch anytime soon? well...weekend lunch? or 6pm lunch?

[Documad]

I'm so sorry about your son. Here's hoping he gets a cushy assignment. What's he trained to do? I have a friend who technically could be called overseas but in 4 years he hasn't been. I have a friend's husband who spent two years in North Carolina but is now going to the middle east (his wife and I are hoping that he will be testing food quality in Kuwait).

I'm guessing that your son is a remarkable guy.

[ms.peachy]

LOL awww, you must fluctuate wildly beween heartbreaking pride and agonizing conflictedness. What irony, that he's just now come to the age where he is independent and in theory not your 'worry' anymore, and he goes and does the thing likely to worry you most, on so many levels!

[abcdefz]

They need to have two packages -- one for enthusiastic parents, and one for those, uh... more reserved in their affections for the Reserve.

i can just picture her in one of those antelope things, or whatever tey are called. swinging her arms and legs back and forth wildly

What in God's name are you talking about, man?

I don't know if it gets easier over time, but I can't imagine, at this point, what it would be like for a parent to have to endure this kind of anxiety. I mean things that are more or less out of your hands. Or maybe I can. But most of that's just a result of the paranoia that accompanies all this new baby business.

What your son's doing is very admirable, though. But personally, I'd be locking him in the basement, only letting him out for the occasional bathroom break or shower if I were in your shoes. Good thing I have a girl, and she'll probably just grow up to want ponies or have pajama parties and stay on the phone all night and that'll be the worst of it. Right? Right.

[enree erzweglle]

Three-month hiatus. I don't know. I got out of the habit of coming here when I was preparing for a trip in the autumn. Then, I had to deal with some stuff after that, then the Army thing. I came in yesterday to respond to some thread about the RoTC and I got sucked in again. :o

What's he trained to do? I have a friend who technically could be called overseas but in 4 years he hasn't been. I have a friend's husband who spent two years in North Carolina but is now going to the middle east (his wife and I are hoping that he will be testing food quality in Kuwait).

I think he'll soon be trained in how to use and operate a gun. That's about it. I know that he's in the program to be an officer, but I think they tell that to everyone who needs some extra persuasion. It's reassuring, what you wrote, about your friends who haven't been called overseas.

I'm guessing that your son is a remarkable guy.

I'm biased, but I think he's okay. :) You're sweet for saying that. This decision seems represents a pretty big departure from thinking of his from the past, so it's alarming in that regard. I'm proud that he's doing something that he feels compelled to do. I think it's hard to feel a pull into something like the National Guard given some of his basic ideologies, so he'll have an interesting road in front of him.

LOL awww, you must fluctuate wildly beween heartbreaking pride and agonizing conflictedness.
Yes, exactly, but I get a peach fuzz fix and then the fluctuations aren't so wild.

I'd be locking him in the basement, only letting him out for the occasional bathroom break or shower if I were in your shoes.
I tried. He outweighs me by maybe 50# so I have to come up with some other dastardly plan. :)

[Documad]

I have a theory that the leadership of our country is all messed up, but the actual armed forces are much better run. One of the wackiest guys at my high school (brilliant, Jewish, troublemaker, ticket scalper) floored me by joining the Army. 20 years later, he told me that smart people who have their own values have to swallow hard during training but they tend to do really well.

I've also noticed that people who are smarter than average tend to get better jobs, which tends to keep them further from harm's way. (During WWII, the navy assigned my dad to Indiana and during Korea, the army sent my uncle to Germany so we have good luck.)
