So I had an interesting conversation with a client yesterday who is almost ready to retire... He was telling me that regardless of which career you chose, it is a fact of life that as you grow older, you and your friends drift apart (unfortuntate as my friends were my reprieve from home as a teen). Everyone marries off, has kids, and does there own...

Hi! You requested my friendship. Have we talked?
Once upon a time,
or so the story goes:
There were three little piggies,
and a wolf that blows...
little piggies houses down
because he never learned:
...
...
...Little piggies taste much better
WHEN THEY"RE SLIGHTLY BURNTED!
It snowed

The boy dressed up as a leopard. He was soooo freakin' awesome. He did so very well. He said, "trick o' treat***candy enters bag*** Thank you! Good night!" He's the greatest. 
I think I'm addicted to sex.

Todays ramble kinda ended up in the comment column of yesterdays ramble... good to be so journal illeterate... it's the lack of coffee so early in my reckoning
So here's some food for thought... Nereid and I were at the hot tub store yesterday, and we were looking at the new models and discussing what we would do differently next time, yadeyada. Anyways, we get to a point where I made the comment about how if I new then what I know now, I would never have bought the hot tub I bought,...

More lameass food for thought:
Dilemna: My Nana was in the hospital down in Calgary the past two days, having surgery to remove cancer. Of course all I do is work. I got off as early as I could last nite, and called the hospital to see if the would extend visiting hours a bit for an out of towner. They wouldn't, but at least they let me talk to her. She goes home today with homecare.
Where's the dilemna you ask?
All day I was fighting myself about going. Chances according to my brother, were very good that "the prick" was going to be there. I swore you would never catch me in the same room as him ever again. (Really frustrating is how he told my nana to fuck off twenty years ago, then very conveniently walks back into her life two years ago when he found out he was written out of his step-mothers will).
So my first dilemna was incredibly selfish... do I visit her and risk running into him and his bitch wife, or don't I visit her, and she loses out... well you already know the answer to that... but that's still not "the" dilemna.
So after talking to Nana on the phone, Nereid and I went out for supper. Now Nereid is very little help in this department as she hates the man, and has a very anarchistic side to her in the first place, but my dilemna is and has been this for years.
I can't figure out what the hell to call him in conversation. Having to call him "Dad" in conversation chaps my ass supreme. But when talking to my brother, I can't just say "your dad", cuz that just seems childish. Cuz let's face it... like it or not, he is my father, I tried calling him "him", but then everyone looks at me like I got issues there or something... doesn't work for me.... It would be really nice if he would just drop dead and I would never have to acknowledge him again, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon... so what can he be called that acknowledges the fact that yes he is my father tho he's as much as a father as shit floating in the toilet bowl is a father, but also stays respectful to my brother who I refuse to pull into my issues, and keeps my Nana happy?
On the plus side, "the bitch" can always be called "the bitch"!

So I'm going through a box of pictures to find some stuff to post, and I come across a pile from my "previous lives"... so here's the question... and Nereid has seen all the photos... but do I hold on to them even though I never look at them and really have no use for the people in them (but they are photos of memories),...

I would have to agree with LaceyK. As long as it isn't as issue with Nereid...which is shouldn't be if security and trust are there....then just put them somewhere for safe keeping. You'll enjoy having them to look back on.
marloski:
don't throw them away!
my husband and i both still have pictures from past relationships...it's fun to look back at them! we both know that there is no reason to be jealous!

Oh yeah, so here's todays dilemn... been trying to create a sleeve to go over my left shoulder and down my left arm... the key or fucus is to be a maple leaf (cuz to be Canadian is to ROCK!!!) Somehow I want to incorporate Nereid's anarchy tattoo as well.... but that doesn't make for a sleeve 
So then I thought... how about a line...
