  1. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that was odd. The only reason for not ending the conversation was misguided courtesy on my part.
  2. I contacted Will a few years ago about meeting when we were both visiting San Diego. While messaging I said something like "Oh, that fits me to a tee" meaning "that's an exact fit." Despite this being a pretty standard idiom of the English language, it prompted him to say we were not a fit because he does not do drugs. I truly did not know what he meant. He explained that he interpreted this to mean I use crystal meth. Anyone paying attention to the context of the conversation would never infer that's what I meant. After explaining what I meant, we agreed to meet. He could simply not provide a time that worked. I contacted him again and based on our interaction my gut said "move on." I listened.
  3. I'd be less suspicious about the post had the poster not included the line about being envious.
  4. Have you ever noticed that they stare at the thing as if they have never seen one before? Some others: Coach Athlete Plumber Telephone/Cable Repair Man
  5. Have your friend check out one of the day-use hotel sites that are discussed in this thread.
  6. I'd advise him to hold onto that day job.
  7. I think out loud all the time. That's why the mute button is so handy while on work calls.
  8. I disagree with your friend's assessment that by being current she is trying to be young. Would this person rather she use a Mortorola StarTAC, for heavens sake? I do, however, agree with your statement. She should perform for as long as she wants to. In addition to being a great performer, she encourages people of all ages to embrace new technology. Maybe that will help seniors avoid thinking their mobile phone is broken because there is no dial tone. (My brother almost put a bounty on my head after my dad told him this for the hundredth time after I got him a cell phone.)
  9. Interestingly, I didn't see any mention of two shots of Everclear and a celery juice chaser garnished with olives.
  10. Glad to hear you had a good time. I've always thought about hiring him but our schedules never seem to mesh.
  11. I agree with you. Ad ad that says a guy is 35 when he is actually 36 can be chalked up to laziness or a system glitch. Shaving ten years off one's age is not OK. They really ought to ADD five years. They'd always look great for "their age."
  12. I suppose we could toss this guy into the
  13. I am not a fan of "conversate" but it is worth pointing out that it has been used for more than 200 years. According to an article on the Merriam-Webster Word History site, the first citation of the word dates back to 1811.
  14. Two unfavorable reviews out of 13 would usually make me proceed with caution, but would not necessarily decide not to hire a guy. However, one that says "criminal" and another that says "shady" is a different story.
  15. To all the fathers, Happy Fathers Day.
  16. And I thought this was made up:
  17. I'd take one for the team if I was in Loiusville.

    Given the thread was 1) created in February, 2)the ad was active as recently as early June and 3) the OP has been a member for ten years, the probability of Theory #2 being accurate is nill.

    That interview was something. I watched less than a minute of the first five minutes. From the little bit I watched, he seems like a nice guy. He also seems to be the complete opposite of the persona conveyed in his ad. He needs to drop the schtick, be himself, and tell us about himself and his services in his ad. As for requesting a picture - good luck! The interviewer, on the other hand, was painful to watch. His delivery would be fine if he was hanging around with his buds over cocktails. He might want to watch some interviews and learn how to do it.

  24. Right. That's even worse than an airline named Boom.
