    Yes - and it's a gloomy morning to boot!

    Van Halen with DLR, I hope?

    Is there any other? Diamond Dave is the man

    Dragging ass.. and everything else. That time change thing always tweaks my brain.

    Plus, last night before going to sleep I was reading in this book called The New Universe and the Human Future by Abrams and Primack about how most of the universe is comprised of dark matter and dark energy and how, besides hydrogen and helium, all visible atoms in the universe only make up about .01 percent of the whole. Then I read that chemistry is "incomparable more complex than physics" and that biology is more complex than chemistry and that civilized, intelligent beings (us and possibly others like us) are the most complex things we know of in the universe. And then I got to thinking, if all that is true and, say, we turn out to be the only self-aware, intelligent life in the universe and we and our atoms are such an infinitesimally small part of that incredible vast whole... well, the more I thought about these things the more TOTALLY FREAKED OUT I felt about all that... and then tried to go to sleep.

    Dragging ass? You bet!

    Damn,heavy stuff there Bri.as I'm reading your post im thinking about the scene from Animal House."What if C A T spelled Dog"? Whooooow

    Haha! Or, what if God spelled backwards was C-A-T? What does it all mean!?

    Yes, I will try to get more sleep and be more rational tomorrow, I promise!

    Haha! I'll consult our cat. I mean, after all, we almost named her "Dog". She is SO very much like a dog.

    Cats rule the roost. They are badass and smart and smell like nothing else (funny how each have their own ever-changing but particular scent), And I love when they attempt to do something with finesse but fail miserably.

    rr, you are right! I thumb my nose to Hagar =)

    And for some reason, I've got a craving for Ramble On.

    in retrospect, screw it. Wish we had the teeny font option again too.

    Just FYI, mods :whistle:

    You know how when you live with someone, some things can become routine? Not in a bad way, it's just everyday shit.

    "woke up, fell out of bed." Part of life - I love it, and it comforts me.

    Then, sometimes, the most innocuous things make a difference.

    I drink a good amount of water each day at home and at work. Earlier I opened the fridge to get a new bottle and saw that my sweetie moved a bunch of them to the door side so it would be less of a strain on my back to reach deep in for one on the shelf.

    Sweet, thoughtful gesture...and really not so surprising that someone who I came to love from miles away still makes me smile from a (temporary and short) distance.

    Men love women and strive to be good for them (albeit we fail multiple times trying)
    I am forever surprised that the rare times my wife and I argue no matter how heated, she ends it by saying "Your lunch is in the fridge. Don't forget it tomorrow before you leave"

    Love it (and what you said of men applies to women too! What a feeling to go a bit further, to do something unexpected but so appreciated - speaks to character and heart of giver and givee).

    Well, I do keep her wine cooler well stocked, haha! And of course the dark chocolate she so loves!

    But the things my lovely sweetheart does for me! This may sound trivial, but she absolutely can't stand the smell of coffee and yet I can't tell you how many morning she's woken me with a good cup of French Roast wafting under my nose. That's love for ya!

    Actually, my first inclination was to write, "It's amazing what a little red wine and chocolate will do for ..." You get my drift. :smiley:

    Hedo it really is the little things.I always get my wife's car door if we are together,or rise when a woman comes to the table,pull out a chair.Hold a door etc.The lost art of being a gentleman.

    Mr.H seems like he gets it.Lucky you

    My dad did those things with me on our father-and-daughter dinner nights. You brought me a smile with this - thank you, sir!

    Speaking of smiling...for some reason I can't get the link to work, but listening to/watching the Stones cover Like a Rolling Stone right now. I just love those guys.

    They are some plucky motherfuckers.
