The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

I'm honestly at about 85-90% sure I don't even want kids anymore, so that's going to be an issue.

Tattoos don't make a person, I know, but it does affect whether I'm attracted to them or not. And they are most definitely a major turn-off for me. I find absolutely no appeal to them whatsoever.

So yeah, this is just one girl, Dave. Don't go assuming this is some future love of my life or something. I'm not. I've given up on that idea.
Don't swing the pendulum too far the other way, either. Take things at face value.
 
Oh my god, I bought a car!! And I got a really good deal on it!!

It's weird. My life is I unrecognizable from where it was a year ago. Sooooo much has changed, most of it for the better. Crazy.
 
She just broke up with her boyfriend last night. Now she could be maybe asking you out. Yeeeaah. Help her with her writing. Don't take it as a date.
Hell, I could be some kind of rebound for all I know. Again, not assuming anything outside of the writing advice thing.

Though I should also mention that when I mentioned I was seeing GotG, she said "Take me with you!" and seemed to light up at the idea that I'd be willing to see it more than once.

Well, once you go over for writing, maybe invite her to that? Just see how things go; don't make assumptions.
 
Triple-threat incoming:

- I'm formulating a plan to steal that sweet Kingdom Hearts shirt from Hylian.

- Our rat rescue adoption went through. Saturday we pick up the girls and I'm very excited. This is the first time we're getting pets we're prepared for, as opposed to getting them on a whim. I got the cage together tonight, will need to pick up more supplies tomorrow. It will have to be adjusted some since I don't know how girl rat behavior is, but it'll work out.

- My sister's past the halfway point in her pregnancy and had a special cake made where the inner icing's color would tell the baby's gender. So, in four months I will have a nephew. :)
 
Oh, good. Make sure you announce once you've procured the shirt. That way I can steal it from you. :D

(Love me some Kingdom Hearts!)
 
This is turning into one of the best weekends I've had in a long time.

First, the AMAZING first date I had with the girl from work.
Then this morning, I received @Zero Esc's edits for THE DAME WAS A TAD POLISH.

To quote Hooch, "Oh yes! It's gonna be a GOOD day!"

I am now caffeine free. Last week I was diagnosed with higher blood pressure than I would have liked. Not dangerous, but elevated, which I've never had before and I don't like it. So in addition to my riding the bike and walking (my running was met with leg problems so I had to discontinue) I'm watching my salt intake and I quit drinking caffeine. It's now been about a week with no caffeine and the headaches are now gone. I haven't had a soda besides some root beer last night. And Sprite. with my lunch today. Fuck I hate Sprite.

We found a car for the fella. More miles on it than I'd like, but one owner--and that former owner is friends with my father in law. Really thorough history of upkeep, too. Also, we were expecting next to nothing for trading in his busted up car, and the guy was able to give us about $1000. Things are really looking up. *KNOCK ON ALL THE WOOD*
 
I too just got a car. It has less than 45k miles on it so Hopefully it will last a long time.

Somewhat related: Canadians, do your cars read in miles or kilometers?

You should check to see if caffeine actually has an effect on your BP. Check your blood pressure, drink something caffeinated, then check it again between 30-120 minutes later.

Ingested caffeine usually hits after about 30minutes and starts to drop off after about 2hrs, so that's spot on in line with estimates.

My advice? If going to straight water is too much, try switching to a light lemonade, fruit juice, or maybe even an orange soda.
