social fail. I did talking and it made person go away. he says I'm 'consistently unpleasant' to him. now I don't know what he means. fun fell out. Huh. Not being privy to the conversations, I obviously can't speak to specifics, but - I've never found you unpleasant, much less consistently so. What she said. Yeah, sometimes I think you just have to go "well, I guess we just don't get along, oh well" and move on. And the ones who matter will stay.

Grrrrr!! I must not have set my DVR long enough to cover the run-over from Idol and missed the last minute or so of Glee!! Grrrrr!! **makes note to visit Hulu or whatever later this week** Dang! And I thought I added enough time! ATTENTION GLEE FANS!I just saw online that Fox will be rerunning the Madonna episode on Friday at 9 pm EST—in part, I suspect, because so many folks are pissed about AI running long and screwing up DVR recordings nationwide. Oh, awesome!!!!!!! **set DVR, with extra time around it, even though the cable doesn't say it's Glee, betting that the interactive menu system is just not updated yet** Wheeeeee!!

Man, it's clear I don't speak "Tweet" because that sentence makes no sense to me. I think there might be a preposition and a comma missing. "Yes everyone, that was my mommy I was singing to during Like a Prayer. Ain't she purty? " Maybe. Beautiful day for golf. Nick missed his flight home from Denver, which means he'll miss his golf tournament. Set his alarm for PM not AM, and didn't get his wake-up call. I almost called him to make sure he was up in time....but I didn't want to 'mom' him. Bummer about missing the flight - although I empathize as I have done the whole mistaking PM for AM thing myself. ;D

Just sharing a silly video a friend shared with me - it features the Prez, but it's not political at all, so I though it was safe to share here:
It is called "Difference between American and British culture." (It is very short.)

social fail. I did talking and it made person go away. he says I'm 'consistently unpleasant' to him. now I don't know what he means. fun fell out. The only question I have is whether you know this person or not and if you do--why was it only mentioned now? And if you do not--why was it mentioned at all? A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Huh. Not being privy to the conversations, I obviously can't speak to specifics, but - I've never found you unpleasant, much less consistently so. Not that it (probably) helps much, but...I've had occasional problems of that sort myself. Saying what you think with less filters (as is my habit) can cause this. Especially if you're female. But the ones who matter won't go away. That's because you're our very own Temperance Brennan (with much less Aspergerage) who can be counted upon to relay truth, science and reason in an objective, unemotional (mostly--you're very emotional where Emily is concerned) way. Seriously, this is a site where strong women rule. The only men that stick around are the ones who not only aren't afraid of us but who actually like and admire our strengths. After I would spend an evening with Ian and his friends at the pub he would tell me how much I terrified some of them. I never understood it. I still don't. But he'd laugh and say that what frightened his friends was the very thing that he, himself liked best about me. I guess only confident men like and want to be around strong women. But there's a world of men out there who do not. be obviously encountered one. Let me second this. I've hung out with you numerous times and had a good time every time. What's more, friends of mine who've met you also thought you were smart, funny, and nice to have around. There are always going to be people you don't mesh with...and, personally, when that has happened to me? I've never quite understood it either. I think you rock. I'm going to third this. I've been told numerous times in business situations that I'm aggressive, abrasive and intimidating. It's even turned up on job reviews. Yet my friends tell me that I'm kind, supportive and that I don't stand up for myself enough. I've come to realize that people form opinions using the very barest, superficial information. If your voice is strong and clear, if you express an opinion and sound like you know what you're talking about and if your handshake is firm--that can be enough. The go away person probably sould have done exactly that--gone away.

social fail. I did talking and it made person go away. he says I'm 'consistently unpleasant' to him. now I don't know what he means. fun fell out. I can relate. Although, if even if you did make mistakes, him saying something like that makes him the unpleasant one, not you, since that's a deliberate insult and whatever you did was unintentional.

Be - A person should speak up if something is making him/her uncomfortable, but the speaking up should include specifics like "I find it very unpleasant the way you always talk non-stop about skin infections," or some such thing. Vague criticism like "you're consistently unpleasant" will, of course, leave you feeling like "I don't know what you mean." Who knows what is going on in the guy's head. I have never found you unpleasant. You can only be yourself, and let the chips fall. Be Be.

Thanks, Diane! Very timely for me. My former doc closed up shop and moved out of town! And I have done nothing about finding a new one.

Some people, through their own experiences, don't actually 'hear' others in the same way. And they don't get that it's their problem so they say hurtful things out of ignorance. You are never unpleasant to me, even when we don't see eye to eye on things. "Consistently interesting." That's how I'd describe you.

Pretty flowers! I had trout the other night. It was very tasty.
Happy Earth Day, S'cubies!

He was in a better mood by the time he got home. I had ribs waiting for him and cold beer. ;D
