<p>I've seen that study... AND I LOVE THE IDEA!</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about the boyfriend, Sluggbugg. I Haven't had that experience yet. I've loved all the boyfriends my daughters have had so far. I just try not to get too attached to them, since breakups are inevitable. I haven't tried smelling any of them, though, to see if I can figure out what the attraction is. My kids already think I'm weird enough. :).</p>
<p>Girlfriend... boyfriend... relationship?</p>
<p>I do not know what those mean. Can someone enlighten me?</p>
<p>I was talking to a friend the other day, and I mentioned that I am eschewing relationships so I can concentrate on my work. She then proceeded to count the years in which I will be attending school: no need to go through the numbers, but I will be around thirty. She then said that if I do not enter a long-term relationship, I will end up emotionally retarded.</p>
<p>Oh well. I need to get back to work.</p>
<p>You girls and your... stickers. On whom do you women have a crush these days? Huh? Oh yeah, Morgan Freeman.</p>
<p>Saw that study too... I am a 100% believer in pheremones. I remember having to filch a worn tee shirt from my boyfriend, just to be able to smell it.</p>
<p>I also think pheremone effect explains those powerful immediate attractions that defy logic, visuals, age, everything.</p>
<p>My girlfriends and I want to develop Male Off so we can spritz the annoying ones into oblivion. </p>
<p>Now, using phermones, we would have to make an individual scent for each particular guy (for example, bottling his mom's scent). So MOff is still in the "Phase I" research stage.</p>
<p>For Slugg, however, may I suggest bottling your husband's or son's scent? No matter who it is on, your daughter will be repulsed by it. A quick spritz onto any of her undesirable suitors and voila! he's history. </p>
<p>Berurah is requesting something sweet and tasty. Midori Sours have never appealed to me, but melon margaritas are damn good. Anyone else?</p>
<p>All drinks are on me for the rest of the day and evening. I just found out I get a 5% discount!!!</p>

<p>Hey! I'm the first one at the party besides the host! That means I have to be the one chatting vivaciously in the corner and making it seem like many people are here before everyone arrives.</p>
<p>But, before I move to that function, let me happily congratulate you both on your fabulous achievement AND on your restraint in having it take so long:).</p>
<p>I will leave the colors and streamers and all to those who know how to do it. I will start the toasts to you Dig by thanking you for your straightforward voice of good sense over the last year or so. And I will take you up on that drink and I will have a Junipero gin martini straight up with two olives. Here's to you! (Now, can't you hack us an icon that raises a martini glass?)</p>
<p>And on to chatting. "Isn't the weather glorious today? What DID you think of the Portugal-Netherlands game? Seen any good movies? "</p>
<p>Happy Party All!</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah,</p>
<p>Alu, you know you've always been a barfly ;) . Now take off my hat so we can get this party started.</p>

<p>Dig, we like your style and the way you enter a room. Anyone who walks in offering to pay for the drinks is alright by us.</p>
<p>Now, that curmie has gone home on the range, we kinda miss those assorted appetizers he used to bring every now and then. So next time, could ya spring for a little food?</p>
<p>I thought the referee gave the game to Portugal after the deliberate spiking of the (lucious!) thigh of Christiano Ronaldo.</p>
<p>Dig, dude, we're having a party for you and you aren't here! Oh wait, I get it. It took you 18 months to become a senior member. That must because you actually have a life and can't spend your days under the bar the Alley. </p>
<p>That's OK. We don't mind having your party for you:)......</p>
<p>Still working..... But off soon.<br>
Have a drink
Have a drink
Have a drink on me
Everybody have a drink on me....</p>
<p>Club Soda for me (until I get off work)........</p>
<p>btw - Netherlands vs. Portugal: Record set for Red Cards. I thought it was exciting at the end, but I have one of those dumb, dumb, dumb questions:</p>
<p>How do you know how much longer a game will go? The clock counts up instead of down and I couldn't figure out why everyone but me knew the game was over. </p>
<p>:confused:</p>
<p>Dig, clearly you are better counting down...</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>At the end of the game, the ref allows for injury time and adds a few minutes. The game runs over the 90 minutes and a few seconds later a clock is lit with the number of 'injury' minutes--usually 3. The ref may have more exact time however. The game is over when he blows the whistle.</p>
<p>Loved the BBC description of the Aussie quarter final: "They played neat and tidy football." Ouch.</p>
<p>Meantime, pass me the drinks menu. S1 squired my 72 year mother around Washington this weekend. She is positively gushing about his gallantry, his keen interest in art and history, his new knowledge of Congressional goings-on and his appreciation of fine dining. </p>
<p>That's my boy!</p>
<p>Parental pride. Ain't no better cocktail. I'll drink to your guy Cheers.</p>
<p>Mine is at CTY for the first time, as a 16 year old :O. We never got around to that testing stuff before. Anyway, he sent me an email today. In sum, instructor is cool, he's having fun, and "You don't need to worry about me." Aw.</p>
<p>See, I've been drinking in here all afternoon celebrating for Dig. I'm getting a little maudlin...</p>
<p>I'm a little late for my own party, but I was out having non-virtual drinks with the family. Who's left in here?</p>
<p>(Looks up blearily from the floor...)</p>
<p>Dig? Ish that you?</p>
<p>(...and collapses back into a stupor. Never could hold my liquour...)</p>
<p>(leans down to try to rouse OD long enough get him to the nearest booth....Dig, wanna help? I think we MIGHT be able to do this together!!!!!) </p>
<p>Someone GET THIS MAN SOME COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And....NO MORE DRINKS FOR OD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I'd bring some, but I'm too tipsy to bring it without spilling it.</p>
<p>No more drinks for Dig, either.</p>
<p>Spill away. I will just lick it off the floor:P.</p>
