Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

Where did that quote come from? I did lecture economics some. I think I missed a page somewhere.

That was me, responding sympathetically to the hit on your character (dime a dozen). I can take it back if you want.

I have never disagreed that I may be the slowest one in here, especially after hearing about everyone getting 30+ on their ACTs. So it doesn't suprise me I have no clue what that is.

I only got a 29 so I wasn't allowed to read them.

Agreed. Wasn't BC an economics instructor at one time?

About what I got paid per hour I computed.

No, thats ok. I actually edited my post when I found it. Things are moving to fast for me.

Me being nice here, if that's the score you got when you took it, you get to add 1 to it for the new scoring they have. It happened around 90/91 when they upped the possible scores and added one to ours.

I took the SATs. I got WAAAAAAY more than 30...

I haven't seen @55dB in awhile. Maybe you'll end up being the guy that keeps her out of prison.

Blame Boxster. He was whining not too long ago about how dead it was in here.

I had jury duty once when eight months preggers and I knew they would never impanel me due to my job.

I have seen Wonder Woman and movies with ScarJo as Black Widow. Do those count?

There are way worse movies than The Notebook. Even with a romantic scene that is the swan equivalent of the snake scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The two main characters are just really likable.

I know many people say this, but I do have slight A.D.D. I get bored extremely quick with things. If there isn't enough action I will zone out into daydreams.

The story of SC and the vixen....

It was 1981, I had just been dumped by the GF of two years (she married another guy a few months later). I was at the Runway in Fort Dodge - a dance club - and saw a table full of girls having a great time. There was a VERY cute blond, laughing, vivacious, full of life. I decided I had to meet her.

So I went over and asked her to dance. (She later confessed that she had seen me there many times, and always secretly hoped that I would ask her to dance....back in the days of disco I was sort of the king of the dance floor.) We danced and talked all night. At closing time I wanted to spend some more time with her, so I asked her if she would come to my apartment. (I promised to be a complete gentleman, which I was.) She informed me that she had ridden together with these other girls, and I said, well, they can come too.

So we all head over to my place. My roommate at the time was the morning DJ on K92 and he was just getting up to go to work. So he entertained her friends, and we started getting to know each other. It occurred to me that I had met someone who really liked me - for who I am - and that was pretty cool.

Finally about 6:00AM she informs me that she has to leave, as she is moving to Colorado THAT VERY DAY. She had a little girl - had gotten pregnant her senior year of high school - and there was a guy from her hometown living in Colorado, he had asked her to come live with him. I knew the guy, wasn't sure he was exactly a great father figure (or husband), but kept my mouth shut.

So we parted. I went to work, with a very heavy heart. About 10AM a girl calls Rick on the request line and asks him to play a song for me, call "When Will I See You Again" by the THree Degrees. Well, needless too say, my heart broke a little bit.

Now, fast forward to 2011. Thirty years later. We had both been married, had kids, lived our lives, etc. My divorce was final on May 24, and on June 4, I got a message on Facebook from the vixen (of course I didn't call her that then!). It was just like opening the front door during a storm arriving - all those memories, of that one night, came rushing back to me in a flurry. Of course I answered her post. It turned out she was divorcing her husband, as he had basically been a total disaster. Too much detail to go into, but she had lived a very difficult life for 30 years.

Anyway.....things progressed, and here we are, both so very thankful that we found that special someone. I never thought it would happen, in fact I was quite sure after my divorce that I would not remarry. That didn't last long!!!!

This actually brought a little tear to my eye.

The only movie I've ever walked out of was Happy Feet. the kids were so bored it was actually their idea.

Happy Feet was terrible. It made me want to kick a penguin.

This is pretty much how my relationship with my wife started and continues to be like this:

For jury duty?

If you wore a wonder woman outfit to jury selection it would probably get you out.

I took the SATs. I got WAAAAAAY more than 30...

So far four of my kids have taken both. The ones that took the SAT on the 2400 scale give the ones who took it on the 1600 scale crap about their scores.

Seriously considering getting a couple of neck and face tattoos. Pretty sure a swastika across my forehead would do the trick.

Maybe biology has changed since I went to school but I don't think you can get impaneled again when you're already carrying a child in your womb.

I was entertained.

Anybody that takes JLH too seriously takes life too seriously. I even think she'd agree with that.

Saw this clickbait on my facebook a little bit ago.

It was the 2400 scale when I took it. I had 700+ on all three, with math the highest, but I don't remember the exact numbers. Way too long ago!
