No, he got to a bear hang, a really professional one too. We had that bag a good 13 feet up, and seven feet out from the trunk of the tree. Amazing. I've heard the Yosemite bears have been learning this for generations and pass the knowledge on to their cubs. We found all the refuse later. He was amazingly neat, opening plastic bags with just one tear, etc. He prefers grapefruit to oranges, and white crackers to wheat. Sorry about the derailing, RM95! Mainly, I wanted to say Cafe Adobe rocks, and I miss it. Or at least it used to rock.
Yep, I've seen black bears do exactly that. Pretty amazing. I've also startled one while hiking (not sure which one of us was more scared) & watched it climb about 30 feet up into a tree in approx. 5 seconds. Awesome sight to see. Never seen a grizzly, but they'll be out fishing with me when I'm in B.C. later this summer. I'm not sure if I'm more excited about salmon fishing or watching the bears catch fish. If I was truly a pro bbs poster (or if I wasn't so lazy) I would've included a pic of Yogi Bear in my previous post. Oh well.
I'd be doing just that had I not gotten in such bad credit card debt in college. I can't scrape up the money for the down payment and closing costs on a townhome or house. Cafe Adobe chick has not called (it's now hilarious to imagine her getting my message...I can just see the look on her face!). However, I talked to the girl who works with my brother, and we're going out on Thursday. I'm always down for more options, though. I did meet Dave, seems like a cool guy. Don't lie. You were trying to bait me into making another homosexual joke. I'm not falling for it.
Ugh. Dating sucks. OK, I need some opinions again. I went out with that chick that works with my brother. Absolutely no sparks on my end. Nice enough girl, cute, but there were somethings about her that really turned me off. The bad thing is, I had already asked her to the DMB concert after a couple of phone conversations. It was dumb, I know, but it was impossible to know that getting along so well on the phone and knowing she was cute could end up like it did. So, I really don't want to make one of my most anticipated days be any less enjoyable by taking this girl. I'd rather take another friend. However, I absolutely hate the thought of hurting someone's feelings, so I'm admittedly a wuss when it comes to stuff like this. The wuss in me is telling me to call her and claim I'm sick or something instead of telling her the truth. I'm leaning towards telling her a half-truth, that I thought I was ready to start dating again, but I'm not. I guess what I'm really worried about is pissing this girl off. I don't want to be an *******, especially since she works with my brother. I could definitely tolerate her going with me, but would prefer someone else. Is this a completely rude thing to do?
Clarify. First impressions aren't everything. Was she dull and boring Is she stupid Does she have testicles?
RM95, only been vaguely following the thread, but I don't see why you don't just sack up and take her to the DMB concert. The invitation has already been extended. If it were me, I'd take her and lump it.
man...that really sucks. how much of it is that you're not really ready to start dating again? i mean, that may not be a half-truth at all. i've gone through that myself...dates with girls who otherwise i would have been interested in...but just was still too screwed up over the one that just got away. do you think that's it?? if you do, that's not a half-truth at all. (a lawyer just wrote that, by the way! -- but i'm really serious.)
That may be later in the rebound relationship. When you first breakup, all you want to do is magically find someone as cool as your ex to help get over your stress and anxiety. IMO, that's why he was so psyched about meeting her and that's why he's so down after she failed to meet his expectations.
MadMax, there may be some truth to that. However, I met a girl up here about a month or so after we broke up. We went on a couple of dates and things seemed great, then she broke it off. I was by no means upset about it, but I did enjoy spending time with her. To be perfectly honest, if I posted the reasons, it may offend some people and I really don't want it to be taken the wrong way. I'm going to end up taking her for what RIET said, first impressions aren't everything. Maybe I was in a bad mood, maybe I'm letting stereotypes get in the way, or maybe I'm right. We'll see. Thanks for listening guys.
My advice: 1. Pickup said date for concert 2. Slam ~10 Miller Lites in the parking lot before concert 3. Fill flask with Jack, Beam, or other whiskey of choice 4. Take large swigs of said whiskey during "Don't Drink the Water" 5. Date will appear much better looking and personality will not matter 6. Take date back to your apt. 7. Pooper
Honestly, it did in a weird sorta way. I really hate the way I've been b****ing and moaning the past couple of months, and this is just another example of doing just that.
so when you come to meet me and my wife at our seats at the show...do i tell her, "oh..you're the one he's not interested in!" i'm guessing no...but i just want to be sure.
Hey, my girlfriend and I are going to be at the DMB show on Friday too! I'm not a big fan or anything, but wanted to go and she paid for my ticket, so I figured what the hell. That's all I really had to say on the subject...
