Ask if they can bump it for inflation.

I worry about you often.

My tea routine has changed a bit while I transition to warmer weather. First cup and a half are hot, then I use the cold 1/2 cup to augment the next cup, which goes over ice. It will be mostly iced tea from June until September.

Wth are you talking about?

I like this as your new name.

Did you tell them your consulting fee is $500/hr?

Oh yeah, you need the sound on. SFW.

Wankers, too. Did you ask for a title change from HR as their last act? They might be amenable to that since there would be no other ramifications, and at least you could put that on your resume. I'd ask for that parting gift, worst thing they could say is no. I hope your wife is looking for a new outfit to work with, too. I hate hearing these "We are cheaping out through BPO because it is more convenient for us" stories. If it can happen to you, it can happen to her, too.

Those look like poo sticks.

I am still laughing! See you in hell.

I appreciated this post. I wanted to let you know that, since all of these other bastards probably just missed it.

I have another friend who loves them, too. Too grapefruity for me, though.

Most times I find they are tartless, tasteless, and are just kinda there. I wish they tasted like something.

?

I plan to get fatter and fatter.

You didn't like 'Bag of Dicks' or 'Dickbag'?

PTJ was a good switch, though, and part of a fun day on the forum. It is easy to truncate, needs no special characters or fumbling at the keyboard, and is more representative of you overall. It works. Not that the other new forum names don't work or anything, but FSOG and RS are just sooooo much easier than FROS or MS for me. Well, FSOG is so much easier for me to type, so there is that. RS doesn't fuss about her name much, either.

I wonder if elephants feel like they are in a cubicle, one they can never leave. I would run, too.

A pizza is a singular beast, and represents one serving if there is one person, two servings if there are two people. One pizza is never more than three servings, though. I will eat an entire pizza in one sitting 100% of the time, no matter the size, if it is just me. I don't eat the crusts, though, crusts are the garbage part and best saved for dogs.

I actually put one up, but I didn't have a picture and it demanded one before I could even look at the menu of chicks. I found a picture online of Robert De Niro in his current really old state, and used that just so I could browse. It got 15 'likes' (but no messages) in the few hours before they pulled the photo.

Fucking hell, your life is YOUR life, your kids and mom will understand. Heck, they probably already perceive that something has been amiss for a while. It is great that your kids are older, you don't have to fight over custody and time spent with them. Starting over means that you get your life back, not be some husk of a stuck human that just goes through the motions and has to deal with a crappy loveless marriage. Don't beat yourself up over naivete, it is so cliche. I did the whole "How could I have been so stupid" phase, and although I still think that, I don't beat myself up anymore. It is all just a snapshot from a time when you were dealing with the hand that was dealt to you. Now you have a different hand, plus you get to do some dealing of the cards yourself. You are fun, not dirt poor, and nature hates a vacuum. There are plenty of chicks out there in the same boat, go play the field a bit and start choosing who you want to spend time with voluntarily for a change.

Yeah, I probably ought to do that again. I don't feel I have the energy for that yet, but I am sure I will get back on the horse within the month, probably.
