Let me share this 'cuz it's funny

[zoobabe]

the guy I'm dating right now is technically not my "boyfriend" even though we date exclusively. Long story as to why, but he just moved into his new house and he told me that once I see his big screen TV with cable I will be hooked and want to call him my boyfriend from then on. Am I whoring myself out for better television? Should I just ask him to buy me cable instead? (j/k) He thinks it's funny that a girl that loves TV as much as I do has no cable.:p

[jenny10girl]

Take what you can until you find someone worthy of being your boyfriend. Have fun watching everythig on the big screen....!!!

[zoobabe]

oh he's worthy jenny- there's just an "issue". Good advice though. Thanks!:)

"Issue"? ...hmmm...now you've got my attention...LOL... Sorry, I just love drama that's not my own.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

[Clair]

Sounds like someone needs satellite TV AND TIVO. :)

[zoobabe]

It's all good. I was just being sarcastic 'cuz I was thinking about how much TV I watch.

[brutal youth]

Ideally he would allow you visitation post-breakup. Is it HD? Cause then it's a whole new discussion.

[tvaholic]

Boy, if i had a nickel for every time a guy said he wanted to show me his "big screen tv..." :D

[TinkerbellAPixie]

If it's really that big, has HD and Tivo - then we need to start talking dates and china patterns.

[Bauer's Sweetheart]

Before you print up the wedding invitations, check and see how many channels his cable company offers in HD. Ours only gives us CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and one HBO. Nothing will send you on the path to divorce court faster than being forced to watch a football game in regular TV once you have seen it in HD.

[HoneyBunny]

I have had relationships with guys for far less than a big screen TV...
there was the one who had season tickets to the Old Globe and I waited till after the Summer Series to break up. (I was a lot younger and more selfish and who are you to judge me? ;) )


Enjoy yourself zb ~

Me, too. I dated a mechanic for over two years. We fought like cats and dogs but my old beater ran perfectly! Had to buy a new car after we broke up.

zoobabe... how do you not have cable and stilll keep up with all the shows? You've got talent, girl!

we're participating on a forum of a site that gives the BEST recaps on the web and you ask me how I keep up?:D

[derder]

I got a big screen TV for my anniversary two years ago. Most women want diamonds- I'd rather get electronics.

Taken out of context - that could sound mighty incriminating. ;)

Since he's not buying you anything I wouldn't say you are whoring yourself out.
This is more like, I dunno. . . a layaway plan or bartering or something.
(Seriously, if one has tivo and food delivery it's shut-in heaven, damn near perfect while convalescing).

[angiemarie]

Zoobabe, you should definitely marry this guy. If it doesn't work out, you can keep the TV and the new house in the divorce settlement. :)

Just kidding, but if he has a karaoke machine he might be the "one".

[zoobabe]

funny angie:) - he did pay for my drinks at karaoke and be my designated driver.

we (the regs) can talk about it in chat sometime when we're all here.

I dated a chef--lived with him for quite a while. Try cooking for yourself after that went sour... Food has never tasted the same. My dh cooked a meal for me when we were dating, so I knew he was a keeper. ;)

My boyfriend was here this past week - and he is super handy. He was fixing all my broken stuff and put together a desk for me. I just love having someone who can fix things. That alone is reason to keep him. <swoon>:o

Long story about a technicality? Come on. What's the deal with that? I have some ideas but I won't speculate.

This cracked me up today:

Today was the first day that we introduced the chosen "baby daddy" bonobo to the new girls and young boy. There is still a mesh howdy door between them. everything went well and they seemed to be getting along fine, so after about a half hour of watching them I brought out Kevin's (the adult male) Fisher price piano for him to play. I played Chopsticks on it first, and then I held it up to the mesh so that he could stick his fingers through and play. I swear to God he was trying to play Chopsticks too! He kept hitting the same notes and then using two fingers to hit notes at the same time. It was so freaky that the other keeper with me asked -"did you teach him that?". I trhought it was great, although I wish I would have had a video camera.:D

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I thought it was great, although I wish I would have had a video camera.:D

With the cool stuff you are always doing - you should have a video camera on at all times!:cool:

[zoobabe]

we put Kevin in with the others today and everything went great! He had lots of sex, and he was realy sweet with the young boy too. A total success so far! At one point, both girls were grooming him as he lay on his side, and the little boy was laying on his stomach and he was in pure heaven. It almost moved me to tears I was so happy for him! (Remember that he hasn't seen a girl bonobo in over 13 years)!:w00t:

Once a pimp, always a pimp. Mad props to Kevin for getting it done. :thumbup:

[campfiregirl]

Zoobabe I'm so happy for Kevin and his girls.:wub: Hopefully someday soon you will have to change your avatar to a baby bonobo.

[zoobabe]

well... he didn't have sex with the one he's supposed to knock up, just her daughter (and son) so maybe he likes younger women. However- the daughter is a total hussy and we have faith that mom will allow Kevin to breed her when she's in estrus.:D

[zoobabe]

Wait, he had sex with her son? They do that? Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. You slut.

[zoobabe]

today when I saw Kevin breed Lucy (the female gonna be baby momma), she turned her head and looked deeply into his eyes during the experience. Very sweet!:D

another funny primate story:




LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 17, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) An escaped chimpanzee at the Little Rock Zoo raided a kitchen cupboard and did a little cleaning with a toilet brush before sedatives knocked her out on top of a refrigerator.

The 120-pound primate, Judy, escaped yesterday into a service area when a zookeeper opened a door to her sleeping quarters, unaware the animal was still inside.

As keepers tried to woo Judy back into her cage, she rummaged through a refrigerator where chimp snacks are stored. She opened kitchen cupboards, pulled out juice and soft drinks and took a swig from bottles she managed to open.

Keeper Ann Rademacher says Judy went into the bathroom, picked up a toilet brush and cleaned the toilet. Rademacher says the 37-year-old Judy was a house pet before the zoo acquired her in 1988, so she may have been familiar with housekeeping chores. Judy wrung out a sponge and scrubbed down the fridge.

It took a couple of tries, but the zoo sedated the chimp, who fell asleep on top of the refrigerator with half a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread she had pulled out of the freezer.

The zoo veterinarian gave Judy a drug to bring her around. Rademacher says Judy was groggy but fine after the episode.

The zoo says there was no danger Judy would get out of the primate keepers service area and onto zoo grounds.

:D :D :D

[Quidam]

Aw she just wanted to do a little cleaning and have some lunch. How cute!

If she does windows I'll hire her...

maybe they'll want to let her "escape" more often.:p

Judy could visit me! She sounds more industrious than any of my kids.:D Great story.

They did a funny segment about this on the Today show. They played Barry White music in the background as they showed the possible "babydaddys":D

[Jinger]

I had to share this and didn't want to start a whole new thread so I thought this one would work...

So yesterday my DVR box from a certain cable company was acting up. I tried to watch something I had recorded the night before and it would give me a black screen and freeze up. No biggie, I watched it online. Then I was watching something and needed to pause for a moment and 15 minutes later when I went back, it was frozen and I had to turn on/off to get it back to working meaning I lost about the first 15 minutes of the show I was watching. NOT HAPPY. I tried several other shows I had recorded and again, black screen, frozen, on/off to get tv back.

I call the cable company and after jumping through their little hoops to get where I need to be, let's call it "technical support" shall we? I ask the girl can you send that signal you send that resets the box (I have gone through this before) and after a few moments she says ok try now. Nothing, frozen and she tells me that she is going to have to send a technician out to check it out but that if he has to replace the box I am going to lose all the shows I have on there. Yeah, no, that's not really going to work for me peanut....

So the lightbulb goes off and I say "but wait...it used to be when you sent your signal the tv shut off and then would be fine, what gives" and she says....wait for it......Well ma'am (not fond of being called that btw), I did the weaker reset signal. If I do that one that turns your box off you are going to have to wait at least 20 minutes before you can turn it back on.

Well, let's see now. Given the choice between having my tv off for 20 minutes and going into one of the bedrooms to finish my show and LOSING ALL MY RECORDINGS, including - but not limited to - about 20 episodes of Paradise Hotel that Fox Reality has been re-running and I am dying to watch - and having some guy give me a 4 hour window of time he will come and take my box away with ALL MY SHOWS on it I think I may, just may take my chances on that "stronger" reset signal you got. RIGHT!?!? Was she kidding me!?!!?

So happy ending (hee hee, I said happy ending!) she sent the bat signal, I left the telly off for a whole 1/2 hour (and did not die) and I have all my shows intact.

Had to share, for some reason I could not figure out why she'd rather sent a tech out than just send the damn signal!

[zoobabe]

oh- you did the right thing Jinger. It's a small price to pay to reap the rewards you did!:D

[Jinger]

oh- you did the right thing Jinger. It's a small price to pay to reap the rewards you did!:D

You got that right! I just thought it was so strange after she heard my reaction to losing all my taped shows (it wasn't good, as I'm sure you can imagine....did I mention I have about 16 eps of Paradise Hotel!?) that she would not at least make the attempt to send the STRONGER signal and give me a shot! Crazy bitch! Although in her defense, I suppose she didn't realize you don't mess w/a TvGasmer's shows!

[TinkerbellAPixie]

(....did I mention I have about 16 eps of Paradise Hotel!?)

You have them and you haven't watched them!

Jinger, hon, you must watch the beautiful horror that is Paradise Hotel. Tony Ferrari at her bug eyed best!

[Jinger]

Jinger, hon, you must watch the beautiful horror that is Paradise Hotel. Tony Ferrari at her bug eyed best!

Oh Tink...they will be watched, but I just can't keep up! I want to enjoy them, savor them, relax, rewind! My inner tv watching geek was born of Paradise Hotel the first time it ran....

The very first time I ever posted on any kind of forum was the one for Paradise Hotel. I had soooo much fun! When I saw they were rerunning all the episodes, I had multiple tvgasms. This is my dream come true, hence my disbelief and Ms. Cable Company and her lackadaisical attitude regarding the preservation of my recordings!

[chooch850]

I'm not sure this makes me happy, but I didn't know where to post it. My best friend passed away right after Xmas. She passed away in her sleep at the age of 57. She was a diabetic with a heart conition and sometimes didn't take good care of herself. But that's not what I'm posting about.....

We were close even tho sometimes we didn't talk for years, but when we saw each other again, we'd pick up where we left off. Our kids went to school together and we both named our daughters Sarah. They are great friends. The girls went swimming at the pool tonite and when they came back, Sarah brought in an envelope and a film container and handed them to me. The envelope said... from Barb to Me.


......SHE SENT ME HER KLINKERS !!!!!.....
She always told me she would, that when she died, her husband Carl was suppose to make sure I got them after her cremation. Now I have them !!!!! In a film container. She told me to make a necklace out of them. (that was when she was alive.) We always laughed about it... I never thought she was serious (I kinda thought she was...but I never expected her family to follow thru)


My question is...what do I do now???????

[pearlblackdragon]

......SHE SENT ME HER KLINKERS !!!!!.....



OK This is what the Urban Dictionary Defines "Klinkers" as -

1. klinkers 4 up, 3 down

Small, hard and encrusted lumps of shit that form around the anal opening that cause immense pain when a person sits down.


Is that what she left you????

[chooch850]

No...it's things that didn't burn to ash at the crematory...bone fagments and TEETH!!

[pearlblackdragon]

OOOHHHHH, learn something new everyday.

[photochild]

No...it's things that didn't burn to ash at the crematory...bone fagments and TEETH!!

Sorry about your loss chooch. But that's odd. I have no idea what I would do. How would one make a necklace out of them? And (no offense to your friend) who would wear it?

[Quidam]

Wow Chooch, I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm not sure since the fragments have already been through the process if they would be sturdy enough to make into anything.

Only her body is gone...she lives on in you and her family's love and hearts!

[campfiregirl]

I too am so sorry for your loss Chooch. I think I heard some where they can compress the ashes and made a man-made diamond?? We are all just carbon in the end... Looked it up, Life Gem Memorial Diamonds.

That's my plan CFG. They even do pets now.

[pearlblackdragon]

My MOM had a GREAT idea. Buy a mortar and pestle....grind up the fragments. Take the powder to your local paint it yourself pottery place. Ask them to mix the powder into the pottery mix. Then pay for whatever mold you want...mug, picture frame whatever....spend some time with your friend painting her (my mom is funny in the a.m), then take her home and you will have her forever AND you have a story about that ugly mug you always drink out of, or the completely out of place picture frame that holds a place of honor.

[chooch850]

Yes PBD... your mom's idea is the best I've heard, maybe a vase that I could use for flowers would be appropriate. I don't think I could drink from a mug knowing what it was made of.

....and I thank all of you for your kind words and support during a bizarre moment in my life. I think Barb is laughing, lovingly at me right now.

....and a special :) to PBD

I couldn't drink from that mug either chooch. but I am sorry about you losing your friend. Maybe you could make a plate/bowl to burn candles in?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I agree, Pearl's Mom's idea was great. You could paint beads and then wear THOSE as jewelry. That way you still honor her wish but in a less creepy way.

And let me add my condolensces for your friend. She sounds like she was a really great friend.
