NumberCruncher

i see you!

corporate accountant. yep. i'm a math nerd. i don't guess you were around when i had my original screen name, 'numbercruncher'. that's where the NC comes from.

7:30-5:30 wif no lunch break, mon-fri... and at least an hour of work brought home every night... enough to break a strong man. i'm gonna try to catch up on my 'me' time this weekend. mani-pedi, massage, dinner date, and hopefully no excuse to be on here tomorrow night.

damn hun! never figured you to be a cockblocker!!!

been workin' too much these past two weeks. not much time or energy left over for anything else. hoping for a make up dinner date tomorrow night.

i've got some "lick 'um stick um's" that i was gonna use for um, something else, but i'm willing to share if you want some.

me? depends on who you ask. :shrug:

crap. i hate to hear this. i hope he makes it. :candle:

seriously, try snorting the salt water. it worked wonders for mark.

i don't think it's steam. i think it's actually rinsing out your nose with salt water. and i've heard that you can use a sports bottle if you have one handy. tilt your head to one side, squirt the warm saltwater up one side and let it run out the other. oh yeah, over the sink.

hey! you gots someplace to be soon. better get truckin'

meh. who knew redwings were so offensive

i like our other version of 'tagteaming' better.

sudafed triple action the kind behind the counter. you'll have to sign the dea book though.

st john's wort here's one that many folks use.

yup. of all time. go me!!!

just a matter of knowing your personal limitations and adjusting your behaviours accordingly. look back over the past 2 years at how many times i've passed up on offers and opportunities... there are simply some things that i can't do, even if i really think i might want to. sometimes i can almost talk myself out of my comfort zone, only to 'flake out' at the last minute. might mean missing out on a lot of life, but i'd prefer that to having a completely inappropriate/embarrassing freak out in public. so, i have my routines and schedules and lists to keep me on track and out of panic land.

i also am accustomed to living in a very narrow world. trick of the trade, so to speak.

better not be? why not? i would think that video would be helpful in explaining exactly what happened and (other than the animal's mindset) why.

i have 'situational anxiety' brought on by driving on the freeway, large crowds, parking garages, midgets, escalators, stranger danger, fire hydrants, sewer grates/drains, clowns, and parking lot kittys. i deal with it by avoiding those situations if possible and/or taking a valium a half hour before i know i'm going to encounter those situations. no, i'm not being a jackass nor am i taking the topic lightly. i'm fortunate to know what my triggers are, and try to live my life in such a manner as to not have to deal with panic attacks. there are those who have no specific trigger, or

from what i've heard on the news, the animal wasn't supposed to come n contact with people. trainers were not supposed to ever be in the water with him. the park's statement was that the trainer slipped and fell in the tank. eye witnesses say he jumped out of the water and grabbed her. not sure that it makes any difference.

speak for yourself!

it's a miracle my fb page don't have the
