TAN #199: jobs R imporTANt, conTANkulations TANgemelons! (Page 71)

Nice!  Sounds like a much better weekend than what I had. 

I was all prepared to do your sneaky movie thing on Monday (Ironman 3 and Fast and Furious 6) until I went across the street to pick up some milk and came back absolutely exhausted.  The rest of the day was spent on the couch watching The Killing.  

BT is a ghost town.

I think the changeover has done more damage than anticipated.  I'm still scared to try to get into my logs.

There has been next to no activity in the political Joe forum.  You only have to go 5 threads deep to see the last contribution was last Friday.

Didn't you say that once the political trolls get their posts "quarantined" into the political forum, and out of the general population, they would stop with the inflammatory statements? I will call you Nostradamus from now on.

C'mon... tell us already!!! 

That was my prediction.  If you like to argue, and there is no one around to argue with, what's the point?.  Standing around in a room with people that think the same way and tell each other how smart you all are get's boring.

However, it's a bit slow on the political front these days.

I wonder if some of the usual suspects will fade away since there are less people to take the bait?

Let's hope so.

C'mon TechDiver...don't let us hanging.

I'll take a wild guess: While diving in FL, you fell in love with a Manatee and are going to antELOPE?

If the usual suspects want to restrict their circle jerk to Political Joe - go ahead, means I can pretend they don't even exist, which is just fine by me! 

I hate to admit it but the antELOPE thing made me chuckle. 

Daaaannng - that IS big news! 

I hope you're ready - from what I've been told it's the adventure of a lifetime.   

WOW! That's BIG news. CONGRATS!

I've a four and a two year old. Never a dull moment. The unconditional love that goes both ways (parent to child, child to parent) is the most amazing feeling. Get ready for a wild ride

As you should!

Just keep in mind that nobody really knows what they are doing when they have their first child, and that people with less common sense and intelligence do a good job every day. It's going to be a BIG change, less free (training) time, less free (equipment) money, less (pizza) privacy. And yet, somehow, totally worth it.

And I won't go on because Monica is about to throw up, and Kido will send me to the "my kids are adorable" thread, while posting in the "all kids are annoying" one.

Originally posted by Techdiver Alright. so I haven't publicly announced I have been seeing someone she is awesome and I wasn't really ready to commit to a new relationship already. Despite taking precautions. And it wasn't planned. But I am excited anyways. I am going to be a Dad for the first time in my life.

It is a bit of a shock I have known for about 8 weeks now and kept it low key. It is definitely Fast but I have known the girl for a 10 years and we were in similar marriages before sort of a common ground. She runs and cycles as well. which is nice. We have some common grounds. And she has a 6 year old girl and 3 year old boy from previous marriage. I am more happy then I have been in years with her. She completely appreciates me and shows it all the time. I have wanted kids for a while my ex refused. Until I told her we were separating back in July of 2012. This is quicker then I wanted to move on things but it has felt so right all the way a long. ok and I am a bit freaked out about it too.

Sounds like you've got something good going on, and no matter how freaked out you are right now (I would be too!), I hope this is only the beginning of a LOT of happiness for you two... actually, I guess it's you four, soon to be five.   

HOLY FORKIN' SMOKES MINI-MMA!!!!!!!!!!
