re 41: If one's true love isn't also a true friend then it isn't much of a
true love.

not only Habitat but Grexwalk.

Four hours after putting my laptop away in my car tonight, I noticed that
it was extremely warm to the touch, and now the battery appears to be
completely discharged and its indicator lights won't even work.
I'm nervous about even leaving it back in its slot for fear it will cook
the computer.

I drank waaaaaaaaaay too much tonight, and now I have a headache.
Water is a Very Good Thing.
I'm NOT getting onto that waterbed until I've sobered up a bit. :-P

IBB I went to Hell and I found *nothing* worth buying as gifts for
friends. All the tasteful "Hell" silkscreened logos, all the quality
embroidered flannel stuff... nowhere in evidence.

I am moderately bummed because my knees have been bothering me since
coming to Bulgaria. The last time I went to Europe, my knees
adjusted to all the extra walking within about a week. They are
being much more recalcitrant this time.

Re: #40 - nope, you must stay within the "love" category - no upping the
ante with ailments, bills, car repairs, drunken roommates, etc.
Re: #43 - no...i don't even believe anyone's out there at such a distance
Re: #39 - kinda cool as a one-up attempt, if it is
Re: #41/44 - i'd guess that for most people, "true friend" is a more long-
term stable/reliable relationship than "true love".

hey. no one ever said anything about rules! but ok...
how about, I have no true love and I am unlikely to get a date because
I keep talking about my period in public.

IBB my bathroom exhaust fan motor has dropped from 3000 RPM (nominal) to
1600 RPM (measured). Must have lost a coil.

How did you measure your fan?
Slynne, there are people who appreciate honesty, don't despair!
What has your period been up to recently? (Or is grex TOO public?).

Probably with a timing strobe.

resp:47 yep. After all, intoxication is dehydration of the brain, and
so water is a good thing for a hangover.

I don't have a strobe so I rigged a contact point on the blower, a
battery, and a frequency meter, and read 26.8 Hz. (I had to add a R-C
filter to stetch the pulses a little and remove some higher frequency
noise.)

Re #56 - Yup. I learned long ago that the trick is to drink three glasses
of water before bed and then take aspirin with another three glasses of water
the minute I wake up. I have yet to be hungover. :)
(I ended up sleeping on the couch instead of the waterbed... a wise decision
since the motion would have made me sick).

If drinking three glasses of water with aspirin before bed and then
having three glasses of water when you wake up keeps you from having a
hangover, you havent had enough to drink!

IBB cuz my vacation's over and all I have to show for it is a broken
toe.
As for this "love" thing, I gave up on that concept years ago, so who
cares.

The water probably helps more than the asprin. Most hangover symptoms
are caused by dehydration. (Alcohol is a diuretic.)

Re #60: I thought I'd given up on it until I met someone...it was a
gradual thing, to. We were only very casual friends at first.
I tend to think real love is something that comes along when you're not
looking too hard for it.

re 62: yup, but most of us are control freaks and can't stop looking in the
wrong places while waiting for the right person to come bop you on the head.
I think I'm beyond "in love" with a person who, I'm firmly convinced, is
THE most wonderful person ever created. Except for living 2600 miles away.

resp:62 - HAHA. I dont know, I know plenty of people who found true
love by looking for it just like I know a few people who stopped
looking and then never found it. I think looking for someone to hook up
with probably increases ones chances of finding someone. Although, of
course, not looking doesnt elimiate the chances of finding someone.
I think it just has to do with luck for the most part. I used to think
it had a lot to do with a persons looks and/or personality but then I
started to notice that lots of ugly people and lots of people with
horrible personalities were able to find mates. Yup. I pretty much
think it is just luck. And, fwiw, it isnt the end of the world to be
single although it can get a little depressing sometimes.

& half months before moving away to a school six hours away. . . esp. since
i wasn't really planning to come back. . .

A person's attitude has a lot to do with their ability to find a relationship,
trying or otherwise.
