I was gone on business for T3V2's birthday yesterday -- sucked.

It's my b-day today -- sucks.

My wife is again two decades younger than me -- awesome.

dmc · Fri, 1st Jul '11, 6:04pm

Happy B-day Bruno (cradle-robber).

Barmy Army · Sun, 3rd Jul '11, 5:28am

Been given the rate elbow of doom tonight by a girl I really like. Ah well, win some lose some! Methinks she was a bit of an attention ***** anyway....

8people · Mon, 4th Jul '11, 10:26pm

Every time I consider getting reacquainted with the scotch side of my family... something on Facebook gives me pause... this time one of my cousins getting the word "minge" tattooed on her foot... because it's her nickname.

Barmy Army · Mon, 4th Jul '11, 11:59pm

There's a lass on my Facebook who has a made up middle name down as 'headbutt', which i think is hilarious, especially if you see the girl.

I keep her on for comic effect.

So how's Tapatalk working out?

Barmy Army · Tue, 5th Jul '11, 6:59pm

A lot better than using a full browser. No more painful zooming in and out.

Taluntain · Tue, 5th Jul '11, 9:15pm

Good to hear.

Faye · Wed, 6th Jul '11, 11:26am

I am flabbergasted. I have a house mate who does not believe that genetics has a large influence on one's health while adamantly believing that walking on cold tiles barefooted is very very bad for you. I am

trying to convince her otherwise. The biologist in me is crying tears of frustration.

Morgoth · Thu, 7th Jul '11, 12:54pm

Heh, I have one who believes that we, on average, only use 10% of our brains. He does perhaps

Faye · Thu, 7th Jul '11, 2:00pm

Well, this is not the first time I had this debate with her. The reason why I am so annoyed this time is because we were watching the news and this man was talking about being worried that he is a candidate for prostate cancer and she laughed out loud. I said that prostate cancer is a serious problem and she makes her ridiculous claim that people put too much faith in genetics. Being an immunologist by trade, I could not let this stand and tried to convince her that genetics plays a huge role in human health. I cited the Brca1 gene and how women with this mutation choose to carry out eclectic surgery to remove their breasts even before they are diagnosed with cancer due to their risk in getting it. And she just says "Thats crazy!". At that point, I wringed my hands and filed her in the lost cause bin.

Morgoth · Thu, 7th Jul '11, 2:24pm

What is her opinion about evolution then?

Faye · Thu, 7th Jul '11, 3:45pm

No idea, but I dare not ask.

Merlanni · Sat, 9th Jul '11, 7:37pm

Perhaps it is all planned by a super being?

T2Bruno · Sat, 9th Jul '11, 7:54pm

It is crazy to remove a body part before there is any issue with it. Cancer can be found early, there is no need to remove body parts before cancer is detected.

Blades of Vanatar · Mon, 11th Jul '11, 7:51pm

Especially breasts. There is too much fun to be had....

T2Bruno · Mon, 11th Jul '11, 9:30pm

A friend of mine had testicular cancer -- I had no desire to adopt a "preventative medicine" stance.

8people · Thu, 14th Jul '11, 7:31pm

I'd be quite happy to tell her about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, as I have an autosomal dominant variant Type 3 which has resulted in lifelong health issues plus the secondary conditions associated with compromised collagen production. Also what her thoughts on Ankylosing Spondylitis and Neurodiverse conditions would be if she had to consider them properly in any capacity

Ragusa · Sat, 16th Jul '11, 10:24pm

I am drunk. That's all.

Morgoth · Sun, 17th Jul '11, 11:13pm

Yeuh. Dutch SP meeting (me, MoN and Mesmero) was a total success.

Mesmero · Mon, 18th Jul '11, 12:18am

Yup, it was pretty awesome. Too bad I had to leave so early. You two didn't get too drunk after I left, did ya?

Morgoth · Mon, 18th Jul '11, 12:38am

Well...

We found a good bar, drank a few more beers and then had great difficulty eating a fish

Chandos the Red · Mon, 18th Jul '11, 6:38am

Yay! Tickets arrive Fed Ex tomorrow to see Joe Bonamassa. Even though he is playing in Houston the next day, Mrs. Chandos and I are driving to San Antonio to see him [where we had our honeymoon]. It was her idea - she's a fan of Joe's as well. Bliss

LKD · Mon, 18th Jul '11, 6:26pm

Sounds very romantic

Chandos the Red · Mon, 18th Jul '11, 8:34pm

She wants to stay at a hotel on the riverwalk. The tickets are center stage, row 12.
