What's on your mind?

I feel like I have so little in common with people here. I don't know if it's worth remaining on the site, but I'll hang around a bit longer and see what happens.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I've felt the same way myself. I've found myself liking many of your posts. You seem like a nice person. I think maybe the forum dynamics have shifted a lot over the years. I was thinking the other day that I probably won't be posting much more either. I had revisited CF last November after being inactive for 4 years. My views don't seem to align with most and constant debates aren't fun.

I love your posts, too. Thanks for saying so

I wouldn't blame you for switching allegiances after a result like that. Yeesh!

I know nothing about football, but this is amusing to watch.

Good evening all

You are loved and valued!

Thank you!

It's not easy, but you may cut such people out of your inner circle in order to protect yourself. Boundaries are hard work to establish and to maintain, but they can be the difference between a life of misery at the whims of others' approval, and a life of authenticity and sincerity to who you are, even if you are alone, or have very few connections. *hug*

Well, I kinda can't cut this person out, so I just apologized and let it go. Thank you so much for your kind words of advice!

I just found this picture in my FB feed, described as "the last giant Irish hound" .... is this animal for real?! Dogs are terrifying when they get to be nine feet tall!

is this animal for real?!

It's not.

Real, Vintage Photo of a Giant Irish Dog?

I was hoping it wasn't. That thing looked like it came straight out of Stephen Gammell's nightmares.

May I ask, why can't you? You don't have to give any personal details you aren't comfortable with.

Well then, this is certainly a pity. My last day of work just now was in fact the last time I will ever work with my current counterpart Miss Mary. You know, Miss @TheLastGeek , the one who kind of had me speechless for a bit one time a few months ago the way she started brushing her hair as we were conversing. ^-^

I struggled briefly with physical attraction to her some time ago, but overall she was just like a friend and sister to me who I was happy to have around and work with every day. But now, she has gone on to be one of the chemists, no longer a lab tech like me, so I will no longer work directly with her and will only see her around on weekday day shifts (who wouldn't jump at the chance to move from a rotating 12-hour shift schedule to the standard 8 to 5, Monday through Friday schedule, right?).
Having come into this job with a four-year degree in chemistry (most of us who are lab techs only have a minor, or a four-year degree in a different science), she's moved on from our riff-raff crowd, and who can blame her?

The person who will be replacing her come December is a bit more ... outspoken, shall we say, but seems enthused about getting to join the D crew (where I am at), of all four possible crews who make up the lab tech staff. She said pretty bluntly the other day that she did not want to wind up anywhere else. Also I've noticed she bears a resemblance to Jennifer Carpenter, an actress I favor due to her remarkable performance as the titular character in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and her voicing one of my favorite characters in video games, Detective Juli Kidman in The Evil Within.

I doubt it. Tho it’s interesting: almost ALL kinds of animals WERE a lot bigger than what they are today a long, long time ago. I don’t think it was that recent tho!
