I thought it went very badly but in the restroom afterwards the Director, standing at the urinal next to me (how's that for a weird interview situation?) said that he was quite impressed. I got the job. Dare I ask what he was impressed with? *Smack on hand* I couldn't resist. Sorry. <img src="../ima

First day on the job in Misc JoeUser Forums

I started my new job at JC Penney today. I think I'm really going to like it. I work in the lingerie department which is really fun... especially since I love buying new underwear! All the girls I work with are wonderful, cheerful, and laid back. My bosses are not near as particular about things as they have been in the past. It is wonderful to have a job where I

OH MY GOD, i've never tried wax, and i dont think i will after reading this!!!But it did make me Laugh Out Loud I've used it before... but never with such traumatic results. But, I don't think I can use it again... at least not without laughing.

I cannot work or go to school in the state we live in -- especially not the town he lives in, so for us to be together, he must move eventually. I feel guilty about that sometimes. We actually had a good conversation today. Not about the realtionship or anything, just a good conversation. I think he may have been going through a phase and, after his "boy's weekend" he's having this weekend, I think he'll be much more refreshed. Tha

Youve talked on here about the concerns you have, but have you brought them up with him? What does he say? "We'll see where the cards fall." was his exact response. But then, he is a man of few words... one of the many reasons I love him. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#

Have you thought about writing for a women's magazine? You put things so well and I can see your point. I'll try the schedule thing... asking him to help set a time. It helps that I just started running in the mornings (6am, blah) and I'll be going to bed earlier.

My brother once tried to claim that men had it just as bad... they had to shave their faces! We then started listing the respective places that you can nick yourself to cause great pain. I won with two words: "Bikini line"

He usually does a good job -- at least when we're together. The problem is we're long-distance which means he ends up leaving his friends to go home and call me, and I think the strain of having to choose is getting to him. Plus, I'm not communicating right now because I don't think I can without getting angry. So I'm cooling off first, then talk later. It really is good advice, Adventure-Dude. Thanks. <img src="../images/

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of Easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the Wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight.

Update on me being me and not waiting for the phone to ring: I went out with my old roomie last night for cheese soup and beer. We had a BLAST! When the boy called, I was still in the bar, so I didn't answer. This time, he had to wait for me to call him back. I'm still refusing to play "games" but this isn't a game. I went out to celebrate getting a job with a friend that I haven't seen in a while. (Can you hear the justification

Sorry, did not mean to come off confrontational. Just educational. As we are agreeing, just not on the souce, may I be the first to say thank you Pope Sugar? Hehehe... no prob, Bob. Hmmm, Pope Sugar. I think the biggest problem with that is that I'm not quite good enough to be Pope. I'll be in Pur

Kind of like your history teacher telling you what Jesus said. Which was my father, who was also my pastor. I was simply stating the verses that have been quoted by Catholics and Protestants alike as to why there should be no women clergy. I hope that Pope Joan was real and that she did half

Try making a joke about a woman. Make it a black woman at that. Now, make a similar joke about a white male. Which one got you slapped, and which one got you laughs? I'm not saying it's right. In fact, I am agreeing with you. I may not see the problem with Da Vinci Code, and I refused to go to church the day they were bad-mouthing it, but I do see your point.

Reply to Forget Da Vinci, Read Pope Joan in Fiction JoeUser Forums

There is actually no tenet of the Church that says a priest (and eventually a Pope) cannot be female. The male tradition is just that, a tradition based upon the 12 Apostles being male and Jesus being male. There are also a few verses from the Bible that give men the idea that women should not be pries

Reply to Forget Da Vinci, Read Pope Joan in Fiction JoeUser Forums

According to Cross, there are no less than 500 documents that site the existence of Pope Joan which, seeing as how she would have been Pope in a time when most people could neither read nor write and how the Church probably would have tried to erase all mention of her, 500 documents is a lot.

Forget Da Vinci, Read Pope Joan in Fiction JoeUser Forums

I recently finished reading Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross. This fictional story about the woman who was Pope is a fairly good read. The writing is a little dry in places, but much more original than say, Dan Brown. I found it entertaining and enjoyable. Pope Joan is a semi-historical figure / legend who I hope existed just because. The a

You silly boys. You shouldn't bolt. That just drives us CRAZY. You've read my story, Trent, so no need to go into that here. But, let me tell you, you do need to think about yourself. It's great to put someone else first, make sure they are ok and their needs are met. But, eventually, you realize that your needs are not being met and that leads to frustration and anger. I like your one-week rule though. You're very right, if thi

Yeah Trent, I don't really want to join just yet. But save me a space... I may need it. Hey Tex. I know you're right. I've been telling myself the exact same thing for a while now. So, tonight, I followed my own advice (and your advice, I just hadn't read it yet). He actually called early tonight but I didn't answer when he called. I was busy. True, I was working on a puzzle with one of my roomies, but we were talking and I wasn't ready

I had a good relationship, and I still love the guy. But we're hitting some rough water and I think he's ready to leave the sinking ship. It's been a few weeks since things went downhill. He was "tired" all the time and never really wanted to talk. Of course, he didn't call me until after 11:00 pm every night because he was hanging with his friends. I wai

Mostly exercise. Eating things like almonds and flax seed help a little too. (Too bad I'm allergic to almonds). I also increased mine by an increase in estrogen. That's probably not reccomended for guys though...

You got me on both counts. I don't watch as much X-Files as I would like, but I am undefeated at LotR trivial pursuit. I even let others cheat... I have to answer every question on the card to win. And I still win every time. (I will admit that a healthy knowledge of the books helps. I've read them all, including the other histories. I've even read Tolkie
