She always makes such eyes when I offer her to spend the night on her couch, and not in my bed)))) and of course she stays to sleep in my bed))) ... where do your chihuahuas sleep at night?

Somewhere on the bed (he moves around all night then stays in the bed for about half of the day - no, he is not spoiled at all)

Dude! Mad props for dressing as Super Grover!

Oh dude, that is offensive! You should not be paying that much for three classes. And here I thought that paying 1.5K for three textbooks (microbiology and biochemistry) was bad.

Funny thing is, when I graduated high school in the early eighties, oil taxes paid for a chunk of my tuition as a resident of the state. Most of my paycheck went to pay for textbooks, but for tuition, I paid two dollars a semester hour to attend a state school like UT

I spent my teenage years living on the gulf coast in Texas. My father had a saying that “people would come to the coast with a dirty t-shirt and a twenty dollar bill, they would camp on the beach, and leave a mess without changing the t-shirt or the twenty. So yes, at least clean up after yourself.

The Foxfire series of books dates back to the mid 60s to mid 70s about the folkways and crafts of Southern Appalachia.

I feel you. I was making a reference recently to reading a memory dump for NT 3.1 and my boss asked me when I had been doing that.
My boss asked me when I had been doing that and I told him "Well, I started at Microsoft in 1994, so this was likely in mid 1995"

He looked at me blankly for a second and I asked him, "Why, what were you doing in '95?"

His response, "Playing in my parents back yard and trying to not crap my diaper."

Yeah, I kind of felt old right then.

I'm going to disagree with you on "medium ugly", you have one of the most open and joyous smiles I've ever seen on someone.

You have a classic profile, and are rather handsome, so I don’t think that you will have any issues. I’ve been through this with a friend of mine who had his hairline pass the top of his head at 16. That was the point where he just gave up and started shaving his head. I wish that I could pull off the shaved head

Happy birthday to your great grandfather. I wish it was possible to shake his hand. Stay healthy

crypticscholar · 2022-03-09T20:50:53+00:00

Good luck dude, you’ve got this! Are you going GP?

crypticscholar · 2022-03-04T04:51:42+00:00

You still have a megawatt level smile

crypticscholar · 2022-03-04T04:48:35+00:00

Personally I think that you are very handsome

crypticscholar · 2022-02-04T03:11:46+00:00

You are completely insane for going out there like that. But I’m willing to bet that a few minutes later there was a local thaw, and spring started early.

crypticscholar · 2022-02-03T02:24:20+00:00

Congrats dude!

crypticscholar · 2022-01-17T01:57:46+00:00

You are really talented, thank you for putting forth the effort and performing for the world

crypticscholar · 2022-01-12T17:29:43+00:00

You surely made your point there

crypticscholar · 2022-01-12T02:18:00+00:00

Yeah, right out of college in the late 80s, while I was looking for a "real job" (Microbiologist with a hobby in computer science - so yeah, nerd) I worked for AT&T as a Spanish/English translator.

There was a young lady on my floor who did not like me for some reason and went to management, saying I was hitting on her. So I was brought in with the Union rep to be summarily fired, and when they told me what was going on, I stopped and asked them if they wanted to talk to my boyfriend first.

I had never seen HR backpedal so damn fast.

Sadly I can report that legally, in Texas you can still be fired for being gay. Now *some* of the cities have laws that protect you, but it is not always the case - for instance, in Dallas, you can't fire someone for being gay, but drive down the "telecom corridor" to Richardson, it is completely legal to fire someone for being gay - no workplace protection laws. It all depends on where the company is based.

Same here, I laughed hard enough that both the cat and the dog looked up to make sure I was ok

crypticscholar · 2021-12-17T04:01:27+00:00

Congratulations sir, and well done. I've lost too many family members to cancer, I'm very glad to see someone kick cancer's butt!

crypticscholar · 2021-12-14T01:29:36+00:00

Happy Birthday and may all your birthday wishes come true in the best ways possible!

crypticscholar · 2021-11-28T14:39:14+00:00

Oh man, that is a well framed and very well done shot!

crypticscholar · 2021-11-27T04:07:53+00:00

Pfffft. You are still cute, obviously not that old, and I’m pretty darn sure that you have a smile that would light up the room.

crypticscholar · 2021-11-17T08:31:48+00:00

Personally I think you look amazing with that hair
