I don't know anyone now, but my paternal grandfather was generally book intolerant. He thought that time spent with a book was time wasted. Whenever he caught his son reading, he'd get pissed off about it. I'm pretty sure my Dad became a bookworm as an act of teenage rebellion.
This could have been part of a brilliant strategy. I'm picturing your grandfather hiding
War and Peace
under his mattress, and putting on a book-hater facade, to get your dad to read. I think I'm going to tell the kids to watch more TV.
yet if I suddenly found myself alone and wanting to find someone new, there would be a lot of filters in place that have to do with who I am *now*.
I think right now, all my filters are set to: Is he Scott? I can't imagine someone else.

That, too. Like I said, not gonna happen without an act of God or some other natural disaster, so I don't worry about it too much. You know, except for when he's inexplicably home late from work and I'm certain that a bus *has* run him over and I will be alone forever... Gotta love catastrophic thinking.
See? Isn't that romantic and warm fuzzy making?
I like your happy, romantic land of denial. I may need a day pass there occasionally.
Next time around, I am totally dating Sebaceans.
But... no tropical vacations!
Cindy, LJ was logging me out too, but when I changed to Standard (rather than Secure), I stayed logged in.
vw, good luck on your job! Cause my job search blows.
My Pfizer contact hasn't responded since I sent him my stuff.
i3 Statprobe needs a medical writer...with two or three years experience.
Covalent isn't hiring.
MedImage isn't hiring.
QuatRX gets their people from a contractor.
SoloHill doesn't need a medical writer, but maybe they'll take a microbiologist, not that they're actively looking for anyone, though.
GAH. It doesn't look like the university has anything available either. I don't even want the perfect job. I just need
a
job. Preferably, that gives me relevant experience. To keep me afloat while I figure out how to start my damn career.
I hate tropical weather myself. The absence of suitable hot tubs is the real deal-breaker.
I can't imagine someone else.
This. I hate the idea of being by myself, but the thought of having to learn someone new to that extent is gut-wrenching. Besides, I've been at this married thing for 20 years and counting, and part of me keeps whispering that it wants a break.
During a particularly bad time, Hubby said he wanted me to remarry if it came to that. I told him it wasn't going to happen. I think that made him feel all smug, I didn't tell him it was because I didn't want to adapt to someone else's way of doing dishes and all that.
You can't take Sebaceans into the sauna, either.
Not that Paul's a sauna person, or a fan of heat, so it's almost like having a Sebacean in the house, only with fewer guns and no leather pants.
only with fewer guns and no leather pants
There's your good sides and your bad sides to everything.
Cindy, LJ was logging me out too, but when I changed to Standard (rather than Secure), I stayed logged in.
Is that the option where you can tie your log-in to a particular IP or not? I already don't do that, because in theory, I might log on from my mother's house or something, some day. I just cleared my cache, and logged in again. We'll see what happens.
No, in the little blue box where you log in, at the bottom there is the option for "Standard" and "Secure." Secure is the default. Click Standard, and then log in.
