It was at a party, al fresco--just marvellous.

GAMEGAMEGAME.

Everyone in Cincinnati cornholes. Men, women, children. People buy special equipment to cornhole.

THEY CORNHOLE IN THEIR FRONT YARDS. In front of the neighbors and everything. Hell, the neighbors probably cornhole with them.

WORLD CAPITAL, baby.

---

I'd never cornholed before. It was my first time. A guy I'd just met had to show me the ropes. But it was good, and I'd do it again.

---

I am unsubbing from this thread. And NEVER EATING CORN AGAIN.

---

I for one have never heard of cornholing before in my life. But I refuse to believe that society was EVER innocent enough to NOT think "cornhole" was a double entendre.

---

I know nothing of cornhole, but I never heard of mowing the lawn in one's undergarments. Is it an American thing?

I feel more self confident today wrt the Where I Live issue. Sometimes, the self esteem is close to zero, and everything about My Life and the Way I'm Living It can seem very dubious. Thanks for listening.

but I never heard of mowing the lawn in one's undergarments. Is it an American thing?

No, I think it's a "Gar grew up in a really weird neighborhood" thing.

I am alive! And finally caught up. Sorry, skimmed a lot, skipped a bit. It's been crazy at work. At the huge crunch time. This weekend, we had two watch n critique's, two stikes (when a show closes, and we clear out all the equipment), and loading in two other shows, one of which I am designing. Yes, my body is tired! Legs especially. At least one of the shows got reviewed, and it was too glowing, but good to get a favorable review, right? [link]

Hugs and brackets to all that needed. Far too much to pull a Meara.

From way back:

In case there's spare ~ma around - tomorrow they're gonna discuss my salary and terms at work. ~ma for "give Shir tons of money and great terms*" would be appreciated.

*Sadly, I doubt said terms will include cabana boys, but money would be good. Did I mention that most of the said money will be used to purchase certain airline tickets to see certain inhabitants of a certain online board?

Judging from a later post about reminding them about stuff that pertains to you, I'm guessing the meeting hasn't happened yet? And since you have some embarrassment about your living location? Might I suggest you use that to push for a bigger raise? "If I made more, I might be able to afford to move out into a home in a less controversial area". What? Just an idea! Oh, and for the record, buses in my area are co-ed. IJS!

I never got my Barbie Dream House but I did have the Millennium Falcon.

:: Swoon! ::

There was so much more. Alas. Can not recall all now. I can't wait for December. I will catch up on comp time, and have a bunch of half days, and a bunch more days off.

Oh! And I finally called the doctor to schedule new patient appointment. I was expecting a 3 month delay, like my old doctor. They had an appointment in less than two weeks. Um. No, too busy. So I got an appointment in December, when the schedule is perfectly nothing for me! Score! So? since I am back in SoCal where my old doctor is, do I go and get my file? Or does the doctor have to request that? Or is each doc office different?

Ravioli.

Forgot to mention. So there I am in the Sound Area meeting, and I mention that I've been in the habit of getting seasonal gifts for my crew, but usually that is one or two people. And asked if there is some gift exchange thing in the past? And somehow I was volunteered to organize the Secret Santa. Oy. Thankfully it's only 10 of us. And $20 limit (there are students, so, don't want to break the bank on folks).

---

The meeting did happen, but we're doing the whole bureaucratic dance today (and I'll get to know my terms and all. Exciting! Scary! Dear-Batman-I-Hope-They-Still-Want-Me!).

Good luck with the job overload, hon.
