I have been guilty of short notice requests as I seldom know in advance when I will have some free time. Afternoons can sometimes mysteriously clear themselves and it can’t hurt to ask if someone happens to be available. I would never however, hold either a lack of response or a lack of availability against an sp. It is not their fault I am so poor at planning ahead. I also would recommend trying a different means of communication in addition to the pm for short notice requests. “Logged on” does not necessarily mean sitting in front of the computer.

Great job Mod! Keep up the good work.

Great pic Cato...I'd like to see more too!

The bowl of wine trap with the plastic wrap and some holes seems to work the best. The more aromatic the wine the better. Fruit flies don't actually eat fruit, but yeast cells. They are attracted to the smell of wine or beer as fermentation is a sure sign of yeast growth. It also seems more humain to me. I'd rather die in a vat of wine than in an oven :wink: I'm not cetrain that pure undiluted white vinagar would work as well. Yeast can not grow in a medium with that low a pH. Not sure if the buggers can detect this or not. The spray bottle of kitchen cleaner (lysol kitchen spray, etc,) works well at knocking them down when you have a big cluster of them flying around in front of you. Then you can wipe them up. Keep the area clean, and get rid of the dirty dish cloths. This attrcts them like crazy. Hope this helps

Wow guys. Great post. I hope to one day have a post as juicy as this one to make, but alas, I'll just live vicariously through you for now! :-D

Although already mentioned, I second the nominations of: Old Dog (for consistantly cracking me up!) Seymore (whos dedication to the Joke section lightens my days) and Cato (the social back bone of this site ...What do the most active and successful social groups have in common?....) Just my 3 cents;)

I think you should go with your gut (Dartmouth) and not let anyone else tell you where to live. (Dartmouth) Just pick the first place that jumps to mind. (Dartmouth) ;)

Thanks for the post Flyer. I was having a particularly "crappy" day yesterday, and your post gave me something to think about. Best not to sweat the small stuff, no matter haw big they seem at the time. Try to remember the big picture.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. You have such a pretty smile. I can't bear to think of you wasting it on tears....:grin:

I use a "secret email address" for all of my hobbying etc. Most people who have something to hide do as well. A quick apology is a good idea, simply to explain that it was an error. Otherwise, I'm sure that there is no harm done. These things happen. Try not to dwell on it too much. ;)

Great post. Very diplomatic but to the point. Lets have some respect guys. I know life has a way of throwing twists at you, but unless your dialing finger is broken, there's no excuse.

I would not object to a knowing smile, but anything beyond that...dangerous for all involved.

In most situations (both in the wild and in life) I would rather be the predator than the prey...so I vote Cougar over MILF. ;) Besides, I find acronyms with the F-bomb in them to be ....awkward. Seriously though, I would not use either term to address someone that I didn't know that well. Both have the potential to be taken as either a compliment or an insult depending on the person. If someone chooses to address themselves this way however, that is fine as they have chosen to see the positive in the term.

How about Hylander? (My favourite bad movie!). You have to be a Queen fan but great sound track!

When travelling, I like the evening or later, but when I'm home, I'm more of an "afternoon delight" kind of guy. This is the easiest time of day for me to slip away unnoticed! ;) No better way to reduce the stress level during the work day!

I did see it on an sp's site. I was reading a recommendation quote which was attributed to cerb. I was intrigued and followed it here.

Read this with my jaw almost on the floor! You got me! Thought it was funny as hell although I have been accused of having a twisted sense of humor!:sm185:

Thought FIDO was pretty funny. Have to go with Shaun of the Dead though. That movie was hilarious! Laughed the whole time!

When I first read this post, I did not reply as I really didn't have any practical suggestions. I'm glad to hear that some of the posts here have been helpful. The best advice I've read is to be to be honest about it. There should be nothing to be ashamed of. We are talking about basic biological human needs. (Although I realize that it is easier to say than to do.) I also wanted to say that reading this has given me pause to think about how we don't often appreciate the simple pleasures in life. Thank you for that.

Happy Birthday ulixestrojan! :grin:

I always like to know the price up front so that I can have it ready. I don't like to discuss it at the time as it takes away from the experience. Having the correct amount ready in an envelope is simply part of the preparation process. Buy a pack of gum on the way if you need to break a bill. You can have extra on hand if you think you may want to tip, or if you are unsure if there are "extras" offered, but the donation itself is always ready to go. If for some reason I couldn't get around to exact change, I don't think I would ask for it. Especially for $10! I likely wouldn't even mention it.

Not to jump on the band wagon but I had to vote Candace as well! Wow!

Go Dani!

Sounds like you are going to need a bigger box of kleenex antlerman! ;-)
