I am just applying for a job, and I have to list any "other notable skills" which I have gained through my previous work experience. The (true) list which I would like to write is:
May I please beg your indulgence for a moment to read this OP on the Indian branch?
OP's begging to have their butt kicked, and I want the posse to please ride in and do the needful.
Pretty please?

Anyone got any good tips for clearing a rash?
I've been sent home from work because I have a rash all around my neck (from under my ears to the front) and up onto my face. It's all joined together and itchy. I also have cold/flu like symptoms too and generally feel poo.
Been to the the Doc who said 'I don't know what it is, but it should go away'. Anyone have any bright ideas?

My tall, dark and handsome man wears giant stocking caps with a pom-poms on them all winter long. The woman who cuts his hair has been teasing him mercilessly about it, but he won't give them up. I don't care what he wears- but even I'm over the hats. I love his thick dark hair, but it gets smelly when it sits under a hat all day. I know he'd stop wearing them if I said something- but he likes them so who am I to ruin that..
What say you wise women of the tree? Do I say something or ride it out hoping the phase ends sooner than later? And does your mister/brother/nephew/etc wear something you want to hide in the garbage? How do you handle it?
I hate offices that block access to Facebook, Pandora, whatever site floats your boat during the work day.

we haven't done one of these in awhile...
a poll of sorts:
what constitutes cheating to you? flirtation? a kiss? an email? a grope? penetration?
what could you live with? what would you forgive? what could you not?
does it matter what stage or shape your relationship is in? if you're single? living with? children? married?

I assume many people have heard of google streetview, the facility that allows you to zoom down to a street and check out what the place looks like?
Well, google's "streetviewed" the vancouver 2010 winter olympics if anyone wants to look at the ski runs and what have you... See www.google.com/wintergames2010 .

Hello Dutchies :)
Bub and I are travelling to the States on Friday for a conference. We've got a five hour layover in Schiphol - I'm guessing the timing is going to mean that all of you will be busy, but thought I'd post just in case I might have the chance of crossing paths with any of you. We land at 8:35am and depart at 1:55pm, so think I need to be back at the airport by noonish. Is that enough time to go down town for brekky? If so anyone fancy meeting up?!
If (god forbid) the onward flight is cancelled (due to the avalanche of snow in the mid-atlantic) I might be around later on as well...
It says :
I have abselutly no e-mails. You said you wood send my one you betta im getting bord.
Ok, so it's time I taught him to write English! How do I start? He reads (devours) English books but has never written much. The English lessons at school are all days of the week and basic stuff - his spoken vocabulary is very good.

So the other week or so I was reading several articles about how a woman's fertility declines in her 30s and by the time she's 40, all but 3% of her eggs are utterly gone and useless, if she's lucky. And even if she still had eggs, she'd probably have to undergo fertility treatments if she ever wanted to have a baby. With the hyped up tone of these articles, you'd think it was pretty much impossible for 40-something women to get pregnant at all without outside help...
And now I'm reading that 40-something women have high abortion rates - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8503726.stm
Yeah, yeah. So which is it?
I kind of managed to smuggle myself into a work client meeting end of this week and managed to extend the booking. So I am in Amsterdam for a few hours this Sunday (stopover). Basically will be in town between 12ish and 16ish.
First - anybody fancy a coffee and catch up? Second - there seems to be an interesting exhibition in the Beurs de Berlkange Museum: Niet normal (Not normal). Has anybody seen it? Figured it sounds interesting, and with it being winter I don't fancy walking around town for four hours:)
...because I've lost the original threads.
Mr55 is recovering slowly but steadily from his four day stay in hospital last week, and we're hoping his postponed chemo can restart on Friday this week. He's having a few problems now, which is a shame after things seemed to be going so well. But we're aiming onwards and upwards...
What's helping us do the latter, of course is all the lovely gestures we're continuing to enjoy, so I wanted to say another thank you. There is still a steady trickle of cards arriving and giving him great pleasure (loved your moose, MsU - he arrived yesterday!) and we continue to be stunned by parcels arriving from far flung (and not so far flung!) places. That people we've never met, are bothering to buy and post off such treats to him/us continues to amaze and gratify us both.
So thanks again, from us both.
xx

Not only did I encounter the woman who puts her bag on the seat next to her instead of in her lap this morning; this afternoon, a teen/young adult sat next to me who I swear had not bathed nor changed his clothes in over a week. He was not homeless - he was dressed well, had an iPod and was swigging soda pop from a 2 litre bottle. He literally smelled like
Sweaty gym socks x 12
Vomit and perspiration
Sour milk and, the pièce de résistance -
A hog farm.
I moved away when he sat next to me, but the smell was so pungent, it could have knocked a buzzard off a shit wagon. The odor was cloying and lingered in my sinuses long after he got off the train. I kept turning my head towards the window for some fresh air, but the smell assaulted me as if someone was firing stink bullets at my face.
I hope the City Rail mods spy this and start hiring conductors armed with bottles of disin...
