WHY WON'T PEOPLE EMAIL ME BACK SO I CAN FINISH THIS PROJECT!?!
Although someone did respond to a personal email, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. One of my oldest and dearest friends returned an email asking him what's been happening and all that. We've both been way too busy to catch up.
One thing that he mentioned was that he was thinking of proposing to his girlfriend, but that people had said he shouldn't and he would like to get my thoughts.
Ok. Before I post this next part, I do want to say that he's never been anything but lovely and charming to just about everyone, and we've been friends since I was in 8th grade. And I want to say all this, because what happens next is kind of assy and out of nowhere.
So he sends me a picture of the girlfriend, and I ask if that's her, and if she's the one I last remember him talking about, and he responds back that it is her and people have been telling him not to propose because she's not cute.
I sent him a pretty reasonable response (I think) along the lines of it being hard to judge a person's appearance on an amateur photo, and that I'm not sure other people's opinions of what the woman he'd be spending the rest of his life with with matter as much as his.
Though I really, really wanted to add, "You shouldn't propose, but not because there's anything wrong with
her."
OK, saw this in a tagline in an e-mail. I liked it:
In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.- Ben Franklin
As an avid water drinker, I think it's hilarious! As a Ben Franklin fan, I doubt it was him, as bacteria was not really a word then, but I could be mistaken. I'm not a bio-historian.
Go team Jess, pushing FotC!!!
I know there's going to be a second season, but has there been a definitive "when" yet?
It sounds more like Groucho Marx. But I agree that it's a fabulous quote.
Hey now. As I learned from the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Ben Franklin was the fucking
shit.
I have no problem believing he spontaneously invented the word
bacteria
a hundred years early.
Mom finally watched my game show. She says, "great job! You look really smart."
I lost.
he responds back that it is her and people have been telling him not to propose because she's not cute.
oh dear lord. How old is this person? 15ish? Certainly too young to be getting married! jesus

I agree. He is top of my list for "if you could go back in time and have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?" Hello! Electricity! Gulf Stream! Reinventing the postal system. Founding Father. sooo much more.
