ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. hmph. I can't remember. I haven't pissed off a vocal person in a long time. there was a breakup about 4 years ago. I don't think I've ever been told off by a boss. Sorry I have no good story.

Who was the last person to tell you off?

some dumbass client. thought he was really making a statement with his crappy piece of property. i told him i would bring a release to his house in the next ten minutes and he began the backpaddle really fast. now his piece of crap is under contract, and he is talking about the next deal we are going to do together. ahem -- i think not, freaker. know what i mean?

Even when I ate red meat it was never one of my favorites.
(Maybe it was the texture?)

Isn't it too hot to cook a roast? Is it hot where you are?
(Georgous here but the heat/humidity is on it's way)

Mild summer so far, but it is just starting to get hot for real. I think it hit 98 yesterday.

What's the highest temp you've lived through (mine is 108 (42+) on a East Texas camping trip)?

When I lived in DesMoines, IA there was a summer where it broke 100 for about 6 days in a row and my dad wouldn't let us turn on the air conditioner (cheap! I 'm not sure what he was saving it for. Maybe for it to get to 108) so I spent the days at my friend's bike shop.

Have you ever gone camping and ended up with a leaking tent?

Irock · Postby **Irock** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:25 pm

Yes.

And I'm answering Sam's question too because I want to. The hottest heat I ever REMEMBER bweing in was 114. On a field (no shade). Standing on carpet. Wearing a feather hat.

Ever borrowed a tent to go camping, realized there was a rip in the rain cover, and then upon returning it to the owner, been accused of ripping it?

Dad still swears it was me.

HOLY COW YES!!! We took the kids (wee was still a baby at the time) to Glen Rose (dinosaur park here in Texas) and that night a thunderstorm erupted. My boy was beside himself with fear so I had to sleep with him in the car. Wee slept through it all and my wife trouped through it as well. By morning we had about 3 inches of water in our tent. It rained the entire day following. At the time it was the worst camping experience ever but we look back and talk about it with amusement now.

If you could live in a television show from the 60's... which one would you pick?

No thanks, but I'll get you another cuppa.

Who drank 3 sips from one of my bottles of Dasani Raspberry (stocked in a carton under my desk at work) and threw it out in my trash can before I got to work today?

froggorino · Postby **froggorino** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 3:14 pm

nope, it's not wrong. i would totally drink other people's stuff if i was the cleaning crew. just a little bonus for having no supervision. however, one would have to think that they might have taken the evidence with them, sooooooooooo -- i blame that person with the bad vocabulary.

last time you got your oil changed?

Irock · Postby **Irock** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 3:25 pm

Actually, it's being changed right now. I have a valet service where they come and pick it up and drop off a loaner, so right now I'm driving a beemer. '06 325 ci. Nice car, but...

Are luxury cars really worth the ridiculous prices they charge?

mere1975 · Postby **mere1975** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 3:27 pm

At 10,000 miles, a few months ago. Next oil change and scheduled maintenance at 25,000 miles. No extra charge. Well, I already paid for it. Weeeeeeee! Low maintenance Mini Coopers!

EDIT:
Not all luxury cars are worth the price, but what do I know? I've never driven a super duper expensive car. Except for a nice Infiniti G35 service loaner. . . oooh, I liked that car.

(And I laughed about the bad vocab girl being blamed. Wasn't her -- she's in Maryland today, bolstering a plethora of programs.)

Do you ever notice metallic smells?

totally. and i also notice that tinny sound when you walk into the mall.

think i should take a shower or pretend that i am heading to the gym?

ifihadahifi · Postby **ifihadahifi** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 4:02 pm

I would take a shower. Maybe. I say maybe because on Sunday I stayed in my pajamas until 5pm. I was massive slacker that day.

Have you ever eaten a meal in the cafe at Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc?

I ate a hot dog at Ikea with my mom. It was good. I had some kind of weird berry soda with it from the fountain.

What's the last impulse item you bought?
