        I think he is holding out a bit longer. - Spawn Aug 3, 11:21 3

- [deleted] 1
  - Thanks. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 11:17
boston.com Love Letters today is far too mundane for ST. I think I'll post it anyway... - Diva Aug 3, 11:06 8
- She wants to eat the frosting and continue to have the Cake pay for her lifestyle - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:11
- his "She is visibly sad..." paragraph is dead on. and he's exactly right. - TFox Aug 3, 11:11 6
  - she might be looking for an ultimatium so she doesn't have to decide - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:13 5
    - *nodding* she's all, "Make me stop and see what happens." -- nm - Diva Aug 3, 11:14 2
      - I have pulled some crap in my life - but this just seems like firing squad type level - how could a person do that? - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:22 1
        
        She sounds like she's been enabled to get away with figurative murder in the past. This is unreasonable. - Diva Aug 3, 11:28
    - it could also be that given the choice between working on the marriage and stopping, or trying to have both and if she can't, oh well... - TFox Aug 3, 11:14 1
      - (that's not really an "also". we basically said the same thing.) :) -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 11:15
Speaking of Sheetz, I tried a steak burrito from there today - not bad at all for something "made to order" at a gas station! -- nm - kelly Aug 3, 10:51 2
- QuickChek (gas station/convienence store) subs are equally tasty. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 10:55 1
  - And I thoroughly enjoy the QT roller-food section. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 3, 11:07
TFox: I can't pretend to speak for all chicks, but there have certainly been times when a guy was interested in me (maybe even "in love")... - loosilu Aug 3, 10:50 24
- the story of my life :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 3, 11:10
- Sometimes we want what we cannot have -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 11:09
- Ditto. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 11:03
- yep -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 10:57 9
  - I seriously hope Redmond reads this thread. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:58 8
    - I'd bang him like his weekend booty call - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:05 6
      - he's a wimp, though. You'd kill him in an hour. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:06 5
        
        apparently. - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:08 4

        are you taking notes Jack? maybe J just needs a friendly romp with a frisky friend or, failing that - a hooker -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 11:11 1
        
        [deleted]
    - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! -- nm - Redmond si Aug 3, 10:59
- This happened to me once. I was sorta interested but then I remembered he was vegan. -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 10:52 3
  - Smoking is the deal breaker for me. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 11:03 2
    - me too, although I am way to lax on social smoking exceptions too -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 11:06 1
      - I am 100% against it. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 11:20
- totally. -- nm - b. Aug 3, 10:52
- conceded. i never said it was a foolproof plan. just the easiest one. :) -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 10:52 3
  - easy, but one which could backfire badly if the guy decides he's more in love after 'getting it done' -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 10:59 2
    - that almost never happens. that's not how penises work. - TFox Aug 3, 11:01 1
      - i think you are underestimating the potetntial scale of a sensitive man's infatuations -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 11:05
- Me, too. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 10:51 1

- [deleted] 37
  - I had a friend that I was obsessed with for about four years....probably in the the same way that your co-workers are.... - Walt_Disney Aug 3, 11:18
  - i was infuated with my lesbian roommate off and on for about 2 years - Guy Aug 3, 10:53
  - I has 2 major crushs throughout middle and high school. Both lasted about 3 years. - Hotkiss Aug 3, 10:51 32
    - [deleted] 27
      - Yeah, his sex life is passing him by. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:58 4
        
        true. he really ought to still be out getting some. even if this other dude is his ideal, it's a long-term project. - TFox Aug 3, 11:00 2
        
        just a wild guess: He's not ready for *any* relationship, and this guy is a stand in. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:07 1
        
        could be, but totally not necessarily. some people are just that hot. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 11:09
        
        [deleted]
      - people get stuck. - b. Aug 3, 10:57 10
        
        I don't think belittling his feelings in any way can be at all helpful. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:03

        [deleted] 7
        
        oh good. - b. Aug 3, 11:00 6
        
        on the flip side, some harsh honesty can do the trick in certain cases. it really depends on the person. - Guy Aug 3, 11:04 1
        
        i figured that's already been tried. -- nm - b. Aug 3, 11:11
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        am I J and ST is C?! -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 11:05 1
        
        erm, I mean, sounds like ST's ban on me haha -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 11:05
        
        b! is wise -- nm - 'lia Aug 3, 11:02
      - movies and books teach us that persitence wins over true love. im sure thats what is going through his head - Guy Aug 3, 10:55 9
        
        at what point does persistence turn into stalking? -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 10:56 8
        
        i don't think he's stalking as much as obsessing, maybe. -- nm - b. Aug 3, 10:58
        
        not at the point when the person is still going out to dinner with you? -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 10:57 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        give credit that at least you said it was dinners in small groups, not couple time? - TFox Aug 3, 11:02 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        fwiw, I totally think C is getting something out of it. - b. Aug 3, 11:17
        
        right. and it would actually help J's case to get someone else done. - TFox Aug 3, 11:08 1
        
        [deleted]
      - I'm doomed. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 10:54
    - But were you doing other guys during those crushes? -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:52 3
      - no - Hotkiss Aug 3, 10:53 2
        
        Thanks. Was serious. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:57 1
        
        (spoiler) - Hotkiss Aug 3, 11:00
  - That lack of a "real shot" may actually be making it worse. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:51
  - i could see a year, sad as that is. eventually he'll either get it done or a straw will break his back and he'll be done. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 10:51
[deleted] 33
- does this give me permission to slap the next Republican I hear calling for more tax cuts? -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 10:51 20
  - znu, you should know as well as anyone...businesses spend based on future projections. If all we have to look forward to is cap and tax, the Bush - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 10:56 15
    - what does business spending have to do with a balanced government budget? - ty97 Aug 3, 10:58 14
      - BO is initiating the largest money-grab on record from the private sector to the public. If businesses don't spend, the money grab is futile. - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:00 13
        
        I *know*! Woohoo, Obama! -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:04
        
        business spending is an indicator of economic growth. They're not expanding because all the work for profits is going to taxed to death. - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:04 10
        
        If you're getting taxed at that high of a rate, chances are most of your income isn't from "working" in the first place, in the conventinoal sense of - znufrii Aug 3, 11:09 9
        
        [deleted]
        
        are you still in NY state? -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:12 7
        
        sure am. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 11:12 6
        
        taxes alone would eat up >$22k of a $65k salary...and that's before the health care tax hike/cap and tax/expiration of Bush cuts in '10 - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:19 5
        
        the accuracy of that number aside... - znufrii Aug 3, 11:24
        
        If taxes are too high, and the deficit is killing us, what's your solution? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 11:21 3
        
        quit spending money...quit bailing out private companies...quit starting new programs when we can't fund the old. - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:23 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I agree....but people will continue to hoard cash if they think they have to brace for something. - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:26
        
        oooo....kkkkk. Again, what does that have to do with a conversation about a need for a balaned budget? - ty97 Aug 3, 11:02
  - The argument is that tax cuts can actually result in more tax income. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 10:54 3
    - which, to my understanding, has been debunked many times over. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 10:55 2
      - unless you look at the Reagan years -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Aug 3, 11:10 1

- uh-oh, this is a huge prob..........oh, hi China! -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 10:48 11
  - [deleted] 10
    - I'm not completely sure why our great nation defecit to a country like China isn't viewed as a national security threat -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 10:53 9
      - isn't it? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:04
      - [deleted] 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I'll be clear: the only reason I'm giving mostly a pass on defecit spending at the moment is the recession - ty97 Aug 3, 11:19 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        *apologizes to China* -- nm - Mattel Aug 3, 11:07
      - maybe because they already have us by the balls, and if we say anythingt hat hints of complaining about it, they'll start to squeeze. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 10:54 1
        
        so instead, we ignore it and put our hand on their hand and help them squeeze? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 10:56
      - The republicans should run with this concept. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 10:54
You are all dating me. - Spawn Aug 3, 10:44 4
- Well, you are pretty old. -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:00
- Why do I always date the ugly guys? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 10:47
- *skips 1st base* -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 10:45 1
  - pips ... have you read your email? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 10:49
