Geez Pico, this is the second time you've said exactly the same thing to one of my posts and the second time the person I was responding to said they knew I was joking.

I don't make comments like that to people who I believe wouldn't get what my meaning was.

WTF is it ok for others to crack jokes here there and everywhere, but when I do it someone has to be offended???

eta: sorry for the tail post, but I was sleeping while this discussion was going on.

Ali, I spoke up because I didn't want Dana's protest to be taken lightly.

Aliantha · 05-07-2011, 02:20 AM

Fair enough Pico. I haven't taken it lightly. I've also expressed my opinions and hope that Jill will not leave.

Ultimately it's her choice though. Most of us have had to deal with one or more posters giving us a hard time at some stage or another. I guess we all just have to live and learn and decide what's best for ourselves in the end.

No hard feelings.

Yeah, srsly. Why is that so weird? We had to converse and stuff.

That's like "Dude, you totally studied Spanish and you never watched Dora the Explorer? Srsly?"

Also, they didn't have Dora the Explora when I was in school. They barely even had written language back then, but they did have Tin Tin translated into Spanish.

Would you look at that? I buried the lead.

Now are you oh so worldly ones done trying to point out my cultural ineptitude, or is Dudley Do-right on? I want to learn more about (aboot, I think?) Canadian culture.

You live in Seattle and it's not June, yet.

It's #@$%%& HOT and humid out there today. After nearly six weeks of straight rain, the heat comes to scorch not only my groove but my ass, too.

Can't do nothin' out there. It's totally ridiculous.

That's why the cost of living is so reasonable here.

I thought about you yesterday Bri. We not only live fairly close, our views on the weather are almost identical.

I had a vacation day, and was running around town getting things done. As soon as I put the lid down on my car, Sheryl Crow is on the radio singing "I Want to Soak Up the Sun" and it was AWESOME. Cruise here, cruise there, wind in my hair, sun on my face, singing...

I pulled up to get a car wash (too hot to do by hand as I had jeans on) but I almost passed out and died trying to get the automatic bill thingy to take my last two dollars. They were nice crispy dollars too. Sweat pouring down my face (I'd already prepared and had the lid back up) and back. Just from a couple minutes.

So I finally got my dollars to work, cranked up the A/C, got my car washed, then left. I didn't put the lid back down because I needed it to dry.

Needless to say, the rest of my errands were run with the lid up.

You're right: from crazy freaking snow to crazy freaking rain to crazy freaking 85 temps with 5 billion percent humidity.

And I'm down an A/C in my bedroom, completely broken, and the kitchen one isn't sounding too healthy.

So I was glad to see your post and know I'm not the only one.

Pico and ME · 05-12-2011, 12:31 PM

Used to be that this type of weather was what I nearly died waiting for. I couldn't wait for it to get hot. Now all I want is for it to be nice enough so that I can keep the windows open in my house. Warm with refreshing breezes.

Huh.

infinite monkey · 05-12-2011, 12:38 PM

Yeah, when I was in HS/College it didn't bother me at all. And we NEVER had any kind of A/C in our house back then.

Of course, after a long day in the fields there was always the city pool, or even the slip and slide in the backyard.

Pico and ME · 05-12-2011, 12:40 PM

Or going to the movies for the air-conditioning. Yeah I remember.

BigV · 05-12-2011, 02:28 PM

what is this "air conditioning" you speak of?
