I really like Oatmeal Cream Pies.

I know that was the most random thing on earth, but it is the random thoughts sequel thread.

I know that was harmless Spup, but your post made me gag as it brought up memories of a certain Songbird post on this very same thread ...

You mean about the ... err, nevermind.

Downloading photos from last night. Eating a salt bagel with cream cheese. Deadline day. I'd just fallen into my best sleep around 4 o'clock when I jerked myself out of sleep at 6:50. And here I am now, wishing I was sleeping again.

Anyone wanna be a dear and order me a pizza circa noon'ish?


Have a good day, y'all.

1) Lazy news side reporters pish me off. Especially when it's a story that blurs the news/sports line and I have to end up doing the job.

It's all karma, Omar. Myself and other newsside guys have had to spend way too much time writing crime stories about athletes because the sports writers couldn't find the courtroom ...
 
Chiming in again late after complaining about women being terrible communicators.

I guess what I mean is when a woman says something, there's always a catch to it, always an underlying message or a response they want to hear from you.

If you ask a guy, "Are you happy?" he'll either say yes or no. And if he says yes, guess what? He means yes. Not, yes if I get a BJ in the next three days, or, yes if you let me go ATM. Simply yes. That's it.

But a woman, you ask her a question and you'll get a response that's sometimes BS, sometimes partially true and sometimes completely false. Because there's always conditions to their answer, cconditions which they don't share with men.

So listen up women....

If you're asked a question by a man, and you answer, PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY! I cannot stress this enough. If you want a man to be a good communicator, you have to communicate completely yourself.

End.
Of.
Story.

I just don't get it. Newspapers want to move in the direction of being 24-hour newsrooms ... YET ... YET ... they want to progress toward that goal with smaller staffs. More work = less staff. How does that make any sense?

It doesn't make sense to those that actually have to do the work... but it makes sense to management because they say it will increase revenues.
 
It's not Pags, though his son plays up the road at Dartmouth; well, they're at Bradenton right now.

The pic is of a local musician. One day he walked out of the market ... err, I'll tell the story later.

Well, good luck with that.
 
Hey, if you want to settle for half-assed communications in relationships, you go right ahead. I'm striving for something better.
