Okay like a friend, I'm going to post a Top 10 list from my California trip. Mine is normal though ... I have a feeling his will be a bit wacky.

1. Irish Car Bombs. If you haven't had one they taste like ass. And they curdle if you don't chug.

2. The leg of the certain guy who kept wiggling said leg in the booth at the restaurant, so I put my hand on his knee to stop him. But he'd start again. So finally when I put my hand on his knee I gave a slight squeeze. He jumped...

If you remember a past blog ...

yeah well I'm officially taking myself OFF the dating market.

Now I'm thinking about my favorite champagne truffles from Teuscher in Switzerland. I missed ordering them for myself this year and now I want some!

Damn you Woo for making me think of them!

Ok, Christmas present to self!

Okay there are 47 guys and counting.

Here are some of the top reasons:

Broke a date. My time is just as valuable as yours. Don't ask me to clear my f'ing schedule for you and then cancel at the last minute without a good excuse. This doesn't include "maybe" get-togethers or illness or death obviously. If I like you, you MIGHT get a second chance. You will never get a third.

Doesn't listen. FFS I speak english and so do you! When I tell...

and the people listed in the chat last night ... all had their names changed.

Mine for a while was, I think, pole licker.

Actually MUST have been because for a while my entire AL profile was pole licker. Hmm should have taken a screenshot lol.

Hey, with abuse like this, who needs any other online forum!!!

The tickets are booked.

Flying into San Jose on Thur 10/28 at 2:15 p.m. and staying overnight. Gonna hang with snoops and tak and whomever else shows up I think.

Heading to LA some time the next day. Hope to hang out with the funky bunch and others.

Leaving LA Sunday 11/1 at 9:45 a.m.

No idea what the plans are in between. But I hope to meet a bunch of our ALers from Cali!

When we're on call, usually there are 2 people at the same time for dual coverage. This weekend was supposed to be my boss covering both roles, but I traded with her so she could go out of town now and I can go out of town in October.

All of our other offices, when the people aren't there to answer phones, it rolls over to our main office where I work. We then have to forward the line they all roll over to, to the on-call cell phone because that line is the crisis hotline and it...

Message on POF:

Hey cutie how bout I bend you over the tailgate of my truck and see what kind of smile you end up with

Response:

Response:

No puppies sweetie I was never partial to dog shit

Response:

Oh well, what about BULL shit?

A few of you know but not everyone, but I guess time to make an official announcement ...

My fiance and I broke up a couple months ago. And it is, sadly, final. I wasn't ready to announce it to everyone. After 2 years he just couldn't handle the shit his parents were putting him through for dating a white woman. And I couldn't handle the prostitute he went to in an effort to piss them off after he asked me to wait on sex that whole time until the wedding.

There...

Okay so today I bought a cookbook with over 1,000 Indian, Chinese, Thai and Asian recipes. That's the title anyway.

Thumbing through, it has everything from appetizers to entrees to side dishes, desserts and drinks.

What do you suggest I try? I'm literally going to mark any recipes that people tell me are good dishes and try them all. Just don't be mean!
