    Graeme, whenever you have a youngster putting himself down, feeling insecure and acknowledging the superiority of adults, just enjoy the moment and adopt a condescending tone. And if he wants to think people read stories as they watch sports, ranking, grading and trying to find a winner, just feed his neurosis with some carefully selected words. (Uh... does this come across as ironical and not plain mean?)

    Some idealism at last. Actually, since income becomes more and more unrelated to production activities, it's not totally stupid to think about this. I disagree with people not wanting to work anymore, but then there may be other incentives than just money.

    WHAT A HECTIC WAY TO...

    Bondwriter commented on viv's blog entry in Viv's Blog

    I hope you make it until your 30th birthday! Thanks for letting us know Graeme also had audio. I like listening to stories read a lot, and it adds to his "Letters to My Son" a lot in terms of humour.

    Father's Day is the same here, whereas Mother's Day was different. Well, first time I won't have to think about it, since it's getting awfully close to the day my father died last July. It's a weird feeling.

    A post card I got from CJ. He had access to another wireless hot spot. Some inside source sent me this with the caption: CJames & Conner. Now, is it a genuine document, and then who's who? *hopes it will divert attention and prevent the posting frenzy*

    You make sure to send him into a posting frenzy once he's back. Did he manage to send a further chapter of FTL once he got close to a wireless hot point? And should I add once again that figures don't matter, but words do?

    I love it when you deal with states I have some vague knowledge of. Iowa being one of them. And yes, retiring in Iowa City is not a bad choice at all.

    Happy Birthday, Bob! Hope it's another good one!

    My question (quite unclear as I reread) was actually: if you gather all your truck driving stories from your blog, what kind of a text does it make? There would need a few stitches here and there, but it could be a nice read. Just my opinion.

    There was one. My lawyer is actually working on the case. I don't take to libel too kindly. I would advise Shadowdog to take action too, since the use of his characters and the situations he designed are a clear-cut case of copyright infringement.

    Too Late?

    Bondwriter commented on shadowgod's blog entry in blogage

    In the students I had the pleasure to teach to, those who were above 25-30 with a good job experience were usually the most motivated and among the most motivating also. You've got great language skills, so if you manage with the maths, you should make it. Not exactly a full professional assessment, but I have little doubt you will manage. It's a question of availability to study, which means being able to finance it without having to work a full-time job on the side.

    Agreed 100%. I've gone to more funerals than most people my age, but it's also because I have lots of friends (and an uncanny number of relatives, coming from a Catholic family that breeds like rabbits. I'm only getting the statistics a bit lower...) If you never want to suffer from seeing a friend go, or having someone drift away, just stay home and don't go out. And do not socialize online, it can be almost worse. That's the risk of being a social being: you meet people, you become friend with them and you might argue with them, and get hurt by their reactions or their disappearance. But isn't living all on your own worse?

    1. I agree with Jan, the church it must be. 2. He doesn't have a pool party. He becomes an adult. 3. No, unless the sheriff's wrong. 4. In a big explosion/ fire/ showdown. By the way, Graeme, you had the fraud thing right. Maybe you won the cameo in CJ's ranting on California.

    I LOVE your truck driver stories. How do all these pages you wrote come up as one big text?
  15. Bondwriter
    All my best. You're right, insurance money replaces a car, it doesn't bring anyone back to life.

    I'll testify to anything provided you transfer the proper amount of money to this nice financial establishment in the West Indies I told you about already.

    Happy Birthday! (Hope you've recovered so you might enjoy)

    I don't think anybody defended beating up children, and it was more of a joke. Same with washing mouth with soap. At least speaking for me. Not sure about "never ever" though, for I don't know many parents who have children who are sociable and have never used any coercion methods, though corporal punishment seems to be a bad way. I think Graeme is right to say it can lead to heated discussions. I'd make it to more uptight and they would hold their legitimacy from the voters. And for something completely different, Law & Order SVU is broadcast on the biggest channel on Sundays at 4:00PM. They do put a little -10 or -12 warning for parents though.

    I didn't recognize him, the only movie I saw him in was A Very Long Engagement (movie worth being watched, though a bit disappointing compared to the novel it's adapted from), in which he's a bit older I'd say than in your avatar pic. And yes he's insanely cute. All the gossip blogs tell about his girlfriend.

    Having learned the hard way lately of censorship and double standards, I since have joined: 1/ The League for the Purity of Languagev (LPL) 2/ The Soap Mouth Washers Association (SMWWA) 3/ Bleepers United of Strong Language Which makes the Bad Words Even More Prominent in Somewhat Innocuous Speech. (BUSLWMBWEMPSIL) And I'd be glad to join Parents Who Take a Belt on Kids With Poor Manners and Who Won't Raise Themselves, Damn It!, if you can give me the address.

    I think Brandon should keep a little mystery; I have way enough info in the prologue to make me want to know what comes next: he's a wannabe, he lives in the shade of the great Gabe whose respect he doesn't get, he's got skeletons in his closet... So, is CJ gonna have him meet his demise in a plane crash (Richie Valens, Lynnrd Skynnrd), get shot by Instinct fans (John Lennon), choke with his vomit (Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin), strangle himself in breath play (Michael Hutchence) after he encounters brief stardom, thanks to Gabe's benevolence? No, this is promising.

    At last! Someone who praises quality and not merely quantity. So congrats, and also for the great contributions to games, the comments on stories, sharing your personal questions and issues...
  24. Bondwriter
    Same here. Though maybe I thought "Wow! He's very cute!" And I do pull faces in the mirror once in a while; not often enough, since it's a symptom of me being in a good mood.
