I've always heard about old Murphy and his law. Never met the fella but if I ever do he's gonna tote an old fashioned ass whoopin back home with him. I'm sure the missed  appointment fella will forgive you, when you meet him next time just lie convincingly that his belly is small and his wiener is big and bygones will be bygones once his ego (and other things) are stroked.  Hope your day gets better and hope the poor fella didn't have to wait too one in a 7-11 parking lot using a bag of BBQ chips as an emotional crutch.

You know what they say if you can make a lady laugh you can make her do almost anything. Well almost, seriously though people take this "hobby" way too seriously, I did myself when I started out. A lesson all the fellas need to learn is guess what you're not the best looking fella she's ever been with, and not the best lover she's ever had, and more than likely you ain't packing the biggest johnson she's had so why try? Make her laugh and the rest will take care of itself. Oh yeah and don't have the hygiene of a Neanderthal that's important too. That's about all the sage advice I can offer any budding young or young at heart hobbyist out there.

Wait that should be don't sweat petty things, I would have said it will all come out in the wash but figured you'd kill me for that one. Tommorow will be better I'm sure and your date will get over his lack of attention contrary to what most guys think getting our wee wee played with isn't a life or death emergency. Sometimes life happens, that's why God gave us the ability to play with it our self it's a safety valve to keep our heads from popping off and what little brains we have from staining the carpet.

Get some rest and as I always say make the best of tommorow and go forth and fornicate!!

Hi Melissa,

I'm sorry you had that huge inconvenience, but that is what it was. Your day could have been so much worse

*You could have washed your phone

*Your client could have lied about having your phone so he could go through it. (I have experienced hobbyists that take great glee in finding personal info about myself)

*You did not suffer any kind of serious water damage

*Missed appointments happen. It's part of life. He can reschedule  

Sometimes it's best to put things in perspective. I had an appointment years ago where I was actually beginning to wonder if it was going to be the appointment to end all appointments....and my life. I sure would have liked to have missed that one!

And regarding the holidays and the financial strain.....we are not living in the 1930's. In today's world for most of us everyday is Christmas. What do we do without? Really? What I'm getting at is forget the gift giving. Remember the people around you with cards and phone calls and quality time!...the stuff that really matters. Any for you hobbyist and providers out there that have money put aside for the holiday that is burning a hole in your pocket, there are lots of charities you could sponsor. I like animal charities  

I bet your pillow talk is intersting. While the OP's story is mostly what can humorously be referred to as "first world problems" there's no need to rub salt in the wound. No one is standing in a soup line, there's no dust bowl depression going on in Charlotte like the 30's you speak of maybe you lived through them I don't know. But jeez maybe this is why folks don't post here much. Someone posts about an " inconvience" and gets a lecture on being an ungrateful person. Guess it takes all kinds like they say

My intention was actually to make us all sit back and be grateful for what we have. I feel we are a very fortunate community. Yes, inconveniences suck. They suck for all of us, but I have food in my refrigerator and heat coming through my vents. If my appointment no shows today, yes it will be an inconvenience, but I am still very very blessed

And NO Marie wasn't alive in the 30s-SIGH! Go back to telling your semi funny stories that make peeps here smile! And she didn't call Melissa ungrateful either.

Steph

Yes...I listen to Joel Osteen. I find him very uplifting and an amazing motivation speaker. He has given a number of talks on staying positive, looking at the bright side, and counting your blessings. My post is proof that I need to stick with hooking. Obviously motivational posts are not my thing.

Actually your right that did come off a little harsh so Miss Marie my apologizes if ya happen to read this. I might give up on the semi funny stories and start writing semi funny screen plays anyways.  

Scene 1.  
The camera pans across a dark and dusty room with a crate in one corner lit by a small rusty kerosene lantern.  

(Slow piano music plays in the background)

A not overly tall fella turns away from his computer with a perplexed look on his face. The youngish man with the boyishly good looks and not so chisled features backs away from the computer looking somewhat like a puppy who has been scolded for some unbeknownst to him wrong deed he's done.  

(Violins join the piano music in the background)

The lone character on the screen shuffles aimlessly back to the crate in the corner, leaving the audience to wonder what sort of chastisement he has received from the unseen person on the message board he has pulled up on his computer.  

As the image fades to black for a commercial break the distinct rustle of a potato chip bag can be heard followed by a soft crunching sound as our hero (who looks like George Clooney and Channing Tatum had a love child together) pulls the crate over his head.  

 
Ok I'm back to normal now. I guess I play a better funny guy here than a villain.  
Seriously though after rereading I guess I did come off a little harsher than intended. Damn you Joel Osteen!

Marie has a way of speaking that TER folks aren't used to. She means no harm. She made a point while staying in the Middle.  

Case means no harm either. If you know either one, you aren't offended. If you are never on the board, God bless you.
