And the Ravens do it. The Steelers are out of the playoffs.
Huge win for us bro! :cool: ;)Quote:

Never thought I would do that.
2015 now seems very exciting if very scary. Wish me luck.
Good luck Steve! That's really really great news and I'm happy for you. You have such a big heart that you deserve good things happening to you.
(Well, I admit it was exciting news that you entered a partnership but then I was a bit disappointed to see it's about business :devil: ).
So Steve the businessman......
It means we'll see less of you on the forum. :s
Thanks Gadjo. Means a lot.
I guess I will be very busy over this year. So I may not be around as much. Its worth giving a go though.
Anyway Gadjo... I am waiting to meet you before entering another partnership. :devil:
Really? :eek:Quote:

I also have great news. The water flows again on my taps and I'll finally have a decent shower.
Thanks for the good wishes Guys.
Gonna be a scary and challenging 2015 but hopefully rewarding and exciting too.
Best of luck to you Steve, and Congratulations!Quote:

You never know with partnerships, you and your friend may work great together for the next 30 years, but what's gonna happen when you meet Gadjo and you suddenly decide to move to Romania. Hey you gotta think about these things. ;)
......and don't let that horse's head you find in bed influence your decision! :angryfire :angel:Quote:

But congrats on your decision. I worked for myself for about 14 years, and it can be both exciting and challenging, as well as rewarding. I do agree though about thinking early about the legalities, as well as the partnership structure. I know of a couple guys locally that went 50-50 and got along fine for many years. When things changed they had to liquidate all assets and split the money, as neither would give an inch. In the long run it hurt them both.
Great start to the weekend...
I had to walk the last 100m to where I'm staying after some drunken jackass who was being chased by the police slammed into the back of me.
that'll teach me to arrive at a UK destination around closing time :p
Former Mavericks Player Roy Tarpley Dies at Age 50
A sad day for basketball fans
RIP Roy Tarpley :(

After reading an article in Nat. Geo. I realized that I may well be related to the now famous "Ötzi" as I am also of Sardinian, and Sicilian decent as well as being lactose intolerant. :p:
I should offer them some of my DNA! :crazy:

The genetic results add both information and intrigue. From his genes, we now know that the Iceman had brown hair and brown eyes and that he was probably lactose intolerant and thus could not digest milk—somewhat ironic, given theories that he was a shepherd. Not surprisingly, he is more related to people living in southern Europe today than to those in North Africa or the Middle East, with close connections to geographically isolated modern populations in Sardinia, Sicily, and the Iberian Peninsula.
A tremendous talent, who had huge struggles with personal demons.Quote:

Bet the doctor says my lung condition , it's all gone ."
"Tomorrow , tomorrow ,
The tube's out , tomorrow .
To the respirologist ,
I'll say "so long" . "
Good luck tomorrow. Hope everything will be Ok.:wave:Quote:

How did it go Baggie?
Why , thanks for asking .Quote:

I gave a few "Yars" , pirate style , as they unhooked the tether , and removed the harpoon from betwist me ribs .
So , I guess it's a few more days of healing , and then back to it , to try and get back a little of the muscle mass I've lost whilst sitting on my a$$ for the last month and a half .
There's lots of snow outside to shovel .
And , there are all those things that I would have accomplished in the time I was down , so I won't be quite so bored in the near future .
Saw a -27C reading on the thermometer this morning on the way to see the doc .
That turned into a sunshiny , balmy -11C this afternoon , thank goodness .

If I'm too harsh then I'll hurt her feelings. This is ALL her silly daughter's fault! Pulled the ol' Switcheroo on Jag_Warrior, didn't she?! :mad:
Hey.....
I was about to ask what happened with your date....:p
See? It seems I was right about my fears on blind dates......Quote:

Sometimes you get to know a person în time and to start to like her/him and then you don't notice her/his low parts anymore
Great! Weren't you saying you need more of a friend than of a lover? :confused:Quote:

No! No! No! No! No!Quote:

It's only YOUR fault cos you deluded yourself that the young girl could have a crush on you. That's what all ( well. most of ) not so young men think :angryfire:
I may be a little insensitive Jag, but if you do mommy really "good", and teach her how to chirp in the key of yodel, baby girl will hear about it, and want to go family style.
Trust me on this one!

Her crush was based on how her daughter portrayed me to her. Plus, it seems that people these days can be pretty darn sneaky while using cell phone cameras - so she did know what I looked like before I met her.Quote:

It seems that I wasn't so delusional. The mother (in addition to the co-worker) also had a concern that the daughter had a crush on me. If you're flirty, brush up against me as you walk by me, talk about me to your girlfriends at work, send me texts late into the evening, etc., it was safe to assume that something was going on in somebody's head - and it wasn't mine. But I'm honestly glad that she came to her senses. See, I've been down that road before (a woman who wasn't forthcoming about her marital situation) and I just don't play that game. Don't care how hot, pretty or whatever the girl happens to be. I'm not into that sort of dishonesty and potential drama.Quote:

Best case: I can establish a friendship with the mom. She really is a nice person. But it will not end well if we go down that road to romance. Trust me on that one. My last girlfriend (also quite a bit younger than me ;)) decided to press me on the topic of marriage and kids and I ended that one too. This lady won't want (more) kids, but once there's romance, it just makes the inevitable end more unpleasant.

Why are you so worried about romance? At the end of the day why do you go out with a woman? Just for sex?Quote:

When you are past a certain point you realize that all romances end in the same way. With that, it's quite sad starting a romance and already anticipating the breakup. If I imagine for a second I'm not married, I would only want a relationship with a strong friendship component and less "romance" or just a cynical one night stand.Quote:
