We were talking about pictures, of members even ... to be specific, the non-existant pictures of you and Gary :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Ass" Dog

Probably better by Mason.

Um, I don't wanna get technical here, but unprotected oral sex is NOT safe regardless of if you are talking about HIV or any other STD. Yes, the risk is lower unless you have an open mouth sore, bleeding gums, recently removed tooth, etc., but it sure as hell isn't safe. Semen and pre-cum have a higher concentration of HIV particles than any other fluid in the body, including blood. The mouth is full of mucous memberanes ... not safe, not safe, not safe. As for spray on condoms ... the proof is in the testing, but I tend not to trust my life with anything that hasn't been on the market a while unless I good reason to. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow Dog

Geeze Vic, now you are seeing him everywhere .... we need to get you a bf. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

you mean priest don't you vic? ... oh wait you are too old for one of them. I'm sure you could pay someone to dress up for you Snoopy

I suppose I should add that there is a difference between "references" and "previous employers". Previous employers are usually limited, references aren't. Often previous employers say that they cannot be "references" but co-workers can. Just think about who's name you put on which line.

Ok, you said that YOU left THEM, you were not fired. Therefore, you left "in good standing". What you need to do (assuming you don't have a lawyer to do it for you) is send them a certified letter (return receipt) telling them that if they do anything but give out dates of employment, pay level at separation, and a statement that you left "in good standing" you will sue their f**king asses. While what they are saying may be THEIR opinion, they are not objective fact, and no court of law would side with them. I'm not saying sue, I'm saying that you should threaten it. If a family member has a lawyer that you can CC: it to, it would be of benefit, even if you don't actually cc them. Just my $1.25 :king: Snoopy

HEY!!! I can totally iron! I even sewed (poorly) the pocket of your sweatshirt! And stop telling my bedtime secrets! Viv I didn't say anything about the sewing, and you did a good enough job. And, I didn't say you COULDN'T iron, just that is was something that I thought would require some "big deal" thing going on. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow Dog

Happy Birthday Vic, Fine, make me feel old :king: Dr. Mr. Snow Dog

I must say James, that I don't believe this is about her, but merely a comment about the difference between the stereotypical behavior of hetro couples. The main give aways ... Ironing --- I can't imagine who in her family would need a shirt ironed without it being a MAJOR deal Dog bowl --- Ocean is no longer with us. Kid up late doing homework --- I have met her kids, the only one who would stay up late isn't old enough to. Finally, I cannot, for the life of me, imagine Viv saying prayers before bed. Taking the lord's name in vein maybe, but not prayer. :king: Snoopy

Ya know joe, you just get more and more interesting every day :king: Dr. Mr. Snow Dog

but if he gives good head ...

ok, Imma at my 2 cents (inflation adjusted), I read all the "talk to him ... blah ... blah", but based on the short glimpse of the relationship that you gave, a few things seem clear. First, you want an emotional relationship with someone that you can trust and when you give someone a piece of your heart, you have a hard time taking it back. Second, he doesn't seem to be looking for an emotional relationship (again, based on the glimpse that we have), he seems more interested in sex. Or to put that less bluntly, when he sees someone "else" that interests him, he doesn't have the moral/emotional make-up to resist himself when the opportunity arises. Third, he doesn't want a "relationship" with you right now, but he wants to have sex with you. This immediately tells me that he places you in the same emotional category that he placed the person(s) he cheated on you with i.e. some nice guy (possibly a friend) to get off with. The Fourth is the reall kicker. You made it clear that, for you, having sex with him again was NOT a casual thing after he already made it clear that it was a casual thing. At this point, every time you see him or talk to him (much less having sex with him) you will partially rebuild the unwarrented relationship feelings and will want to believe that he has them too. It shouldn't be an issue of him giving you space or not, it isn't about "getting over" your feelings for him. What it is about is moving on with your life and finding someone who is in a position to give you the emotional connection you deserve. You cannot put the responsibility on him to give you "space", you have to take it regardless of what he wants. If you don't think you can do it, then you need to do it all the more. wow, all that for $0.04, who says there isn't a bargin anymore :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

Thank god my sperm donor is a decent parent and human being (and as an adult and having raised kids, I can say that NOW). Despite leaving my mother, he always did EVERYTHING he could to support his kids within reason. Hell, beyond reason with some of my siblings, if you ask me. :king: Snoop

I'm glad I got to meet Ocean before she passed. Since I have been an adult, I have to deal with the death of 3 dogs (not counting the 3 newborn pups). One on the morning of a job interview :S (yes, I got the job, yes I told him my dog died that morning ). 2 died all by themselves, one of the 2 was probably in a lot of pain . The 3rd was in significant pain when I took her to the vet to be put down. It wasn't a question of what was wrong, we knew it was gastric torsion from her symptoms. My son and his best friend were great, they sat with her for the hour it took me to get home from work and in the car on the way to the vet. At the vet, I sat with her in the room while the doc came in, assessed her (agreeing with our diagnosis) and went to get the medication. She was always most comfortable with me, I was the one who saw her through a very difficult delivery process (mom of the newborns). She always came to me in times of anxiety and pain. I choose to believe that we comfort animals the same way they comfort us during times of upset. Maybe the emotional reasoning isn't there, but the physical touch and the familiarity and trust that comes with being with "the pack" is calming and reassuring. It is never easy to lose a pet. I think it was a blessing that you didn't have to make the choice of how far to take treatment before ending her suffering. Sometimes we want to hold on and delay our emotional pain at the expense of the animals pain and poor quality of life. I do have advice to people who have just lost a dog. If circumstances make it acceptable, get a new puppy. You can never "replace" the old dog (and I have met people who were trying to, while selling the litter). If you liked the companionship of a dog, there is no reason to have a "mourning period". Dogs are pack animals, the more the merrier. The fun, frustration, and work of the first year of a puppies life gives you enough time to remember your lost pet without having enough time or energy to dwell on the loss. Furthermore, replacing the pet helps to remind everyone that these animals we keep as companions have relaively short lives comared to ours, and the will inevitably pass. If you don't want a new puppy, there is always taxidermy :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

I dunno, I kinda liked the way you held our balls together. They seemed to fit well in your hand. As for the waiter and bus boy ... I noticed you staring long before viv did, and I was looking the same place you were, it was only when viv's hand went down on the table that I looked at you. Your expression was classic, and you are even cuter when you blush (as if that were possible). As for the movie ... I agree. Good seeing you again, and I will probably see more of you in the future . :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

Sometimes I see it more as wanting the normality that society seems to promise. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow Dog

*giggles* Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Diggity Dog

might this have something to do with the unmentionable's unmentionable? :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" "Stupid Snowy" Dog

See, to me this one is easy. You don't ask someone out because then your failure to date is one or more of a myriad of things. Mostly things that you can look at in the 3rd person and not feel horrible about yourself ... other than your cowardice, but you have usually already accepted that. BUT ... if you ask HIM out, you immediately make all those fears change from 3rd person to 1st person, and they become real. What people forget is that fear of something is often worse than the thing itself ... unless it involves talking to my wife :wacko: . In summary, it is based on a low self image and the fear of worsening that self image. And all his faggy friends :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

Which is why we have medical examiners guided by science determining the cause of death, and not the news media ... although that might come as a surprise to those people creating the news. :king: Snoop

I speak English, maths ( ), and the ubiquitous southern california spanish ... and no I would not post. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog

Ahem ... How many other "Dog"s are on the forum ... sure there are other people and a goat who can't seem to properly identify cliffs because they are just "home" to him. I sure as hell didn't say I was the oldest member here, simply the oldest "dog"

you should know by now, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. ... and I think I am the oldest "dog" here :king: Snow Dog

Something I have always maintained. um ... are you sure you aren't blind. Ya know, you make silly comments like that one and people will start to think you are just being polite and discount the comments about the real hotties. :king: Dr. Mr. Snow "Snoopy" Dog
