First date mistake: Booze
If you plan on going out on a date this weekend or attending a party, perhaps you should consider having a “dry” weekend. Some people handle their alcohol with no problem. They know their limitations, they know what to steer clear of and what is safe. Unfortunately, some people are oblivious to their tolerance level and they pick the wrong time to get the hard lesson: on a first date.
I have been out with someone who got sloppy drunk and as fine as he was to look at, after the 4th drink he got really unattractive. He was the type to become obnoxious and loud when he had a couple of drinks in him. Although it was eye opening, I wonder if it was better to learn this sooner or later?
When you go out with friends, do you have a couple of drinks socially? Do you avoid drinking on dates?
Have you ever been on a date with someone who had too much to drink and their personality changed for the worse?
P.S. What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever you do, be safe!

My friends that know me best know that I am one of those who believes that pennies are from heaven. The day one of my close friends died, I went to my truck and lying on the ground, face up, were two brand new pennies.

They were discussing kids being innocent enough to be able to have a connection with ghosts, spirits etc. So they had callers call in with stories of their kids speaking of dead relatives they never met, or doing weird things with ‘imaginary’ friends etc…I didn’t get to hear many of the stories though. I used to think my cat would see stuff I was not able to spot. He’d sit in the corner of the room staring up at the ceiling for a long time. That would freak me out a little

SC – At the time when you saw the pennies, did you immediately think of your recently deceased friend or did the thought not come to mind until later? Can you say, chill bumps lol

@SexyC ~ I believe in pennies from heaven. I pick up all pennies I see unless it’s encrusted with something.

@SlimNu ~ I watch my cat too. They see things that we don’t, mostly little spiders/bugs we don’t see. I think they actually see the spider building it’s web.

cba – Fresh…lol My uncle would always at Christmas purchase from the curb market, cow brains, tripe, rabbit and other stuff and have this HUGE breakfast. Yeah, brain and eggs are mixed and cooked together. I was gagging the entire time I was trying to eat…literally. Needless to say he called me everything but a sissy. I was like whatever unc, ya’ll can have this.

I believe the same too about pennies. My mama says if you overlook or step over, God won’t give you the bigger blessings. I will pick them up anywhere but given the fact that I’m borderline OCD, I have a hard time doing in gas stations and such. I’ll pick up with a napkin or something and wash off later. I can’t bring myself though to not pick them up.

Leggs – I used to love to watch Blue(my kitty) catch anything that flew in the air. He’d make this weird rapid clucking noise before he’d jump up and catch it…then he’d slowly kill it by ripping of a leg or wing at a time, then gulp it all up in one swift swoop lol

In our case Leggs, they were pork. My grandma cooked it for grandpa but I can remember trying them. They were fresh if you got them during hog killing time or you bought them in a can from Piggly Wiggly

Funny, I like to exercise my scrotum sack by holding as many pennies as I can between it & my taint while walking around town. I do end up dropping a lot of pennies all over the place that way, though…

Great…just when I’m feeling like I need to seriously jog, somebody has placed a bowl of candie every five step in this mug. Like I need candy. As well as the Corner Bakery cookes, fruit cake and cold cuts in the breakroom.
I’m going to have a miniature Sneaker and Butterfinga and that’s it. For real.

Dang, eating brains…..uuuugggghhh. I wouldn’t even consider. I would wither down to skin and bones before I eat that. I’ve been told I must have never been hungry enough because I would eat things before me. I know what hunger feels like and I still didn’t eat it.

Leggs I’m actually doing better. That’s because I’m starting to feel some backlash…lol Usually I can eat junk food like no tomorrow and if I’m getting some exercise in heck at least once a week. If I do nothing and eat junk food….2 or 3 months later it’s a couple pounds here or there. Usually though a trip to the gym and a vigorous treadmill walk a couple of times and it comes right off.
I HAVE NOT BEEN DOING ANYTHING. I half walked the other day. I think not even quite a mile.

Ya’ll I ain’t being mean or snide or nasty but this dude has an odor that’s sooo overwhelming. Before now we sat on opposite ends of the floor. Now that we’ve gone green we are like literally fives steps of one another and I mean…THIS IS EVERYDAY. Some days not as bad as others but to have a whiff streaming under my nose every so often throughout the day is awful. I feel like I’m swallowing that odor.
Does he not know really? I mean if I walk in there I can smell. Surely when he walks out and back in he can smell it…right??????

There will be 75+ BGR members running the Atlanta Marathon this weekend. Some will be running the entire 26.2 and others will be participating on four member relay teams. We will also have a cheer squad out supporting ALL of the runners and there are a number of us who have signed on as official ATC volunteers.
We are a bunch of #RunningNerds. (lol)

Never thought about telling HR. Hmmm, it’s a thought though.

Not at all. He’s 6′6. I mean he’s a big dude but not fat. I bet he was rank when he played ball. If getting a bit overheated (body temp) from an office gives off that odor, I can only imagine an all out workout. Whew. I’m not exxagerating either.

@SassyMe ~ no, we haven’t. I believe it was last Friday that many voiced they didn’t like the Zaning aspect on the blog. Listening to their concerns, they’re right. This blog is taken over on so many other levels, semi-porn shouldn’t be one of them. So, I planned on not bring it up again.
