Well, another day is through. I wrote some questions and did some work. Not as much Farking today. My wife went to her Lions Club meeting and had a minor crisis when the toilet didn't flush. Turns out there was a used tampon clogging things up, but the snake managed to get hold of it and pull it out. Hopefully, no more toilet clogging.
My MySpace adventure continues. I got two webcam girls (one from Arlington), one Hoodia saleslady and one random woman from Texas. I have no idea how she got my screen name, so I asked her. I may end up taking the darn page down, since I'm not sure what road I'll be going down. Well, here's hoping people from Warren County and Randolph-Macon actually get in touch with me.

Well, today I played in a thread on Fark, wrote some geography VHSL questions and did some work. Tomorrow I look forward to much of the same.
Here's my quotes from the thread:
"Hopefully every person with a significant other reading this thread will take an extra 30 seconds to hug that person and tell them just how much they mean to you. "
then
to user Captain Fashion: Well, it depends. Do you WANT a significant other? I read a lot of single Farkers who seem to have a neverending parade of pornstars, strippers, alcohol, threesomes, etc., and seem quite happy doing this. (Witness the guy who said, "cheat away you married losers.")
then
Let me see if I can translate Crazy Lee.
Going on a quarter century with smooch pet and we are still a couple of flirt birds. We don't take to the wing as often these days but we preen each other with the same affection as ever.
My wife and I may not have sex as much as we once did but remain affectionate with each other after 25 years.
Regardless of age and hormones I think it's pretty much simpatico and imagination taking advantage of the biology that keeps ya singin', not the other way `round.
Imagination and kindness will go a long way towards keeping natural biological urges active.
A good tactic to use if you're a male trying out this strategy is to murderize da kittens before picking up Miss Hot&Bothered for the first three or four dates (if you've some notion of considering long term parking in that fire). Introducing some cognitive lag time might well lead to the revelation that the train your willy is wheedling you to ride into the distance, on tracks torrid and terminal to your singularity, is actually going to be a trip into the `oven' of Miss Not and bothersome (she'll be hauling your ashes, for sure).
If you are going on a date with a girl, and think this may lead to a relationship, then masturbate before going on the date. In this way, you will not let your smaller head do the thinking or allow the woman to use the prospect of sex to lead you around.
I've gotta agree with those who prefer flowing tresses (the tighter the curl the colder the girl). There's something heroically feminine and alluring (widely shared male cultural prejudice), a `maiden on a mission' effect that pretty much defies age (`some unknown but still sexy thing puts forth the moulding of it's features from behind the mask of seasons').
I like long, flowing hair. I believe a woman who looks good in this can look good for decades.
/all you pudknockers who can make it this far and still get a bit tantric while playing scrabble (win-win when you both lose it) - you'll be happier than you've any right to be.
If you have made it this far and can learn how to make the smallest of experiences, such as playing Scrabble, somehow seuxal, then you will be very happy in your life.
then I posted
Lots of good marital advice here.
to user Captain Fashion
The thing is, you have to avoid falling into some sort of bitterness loop that would turn off someone desirable when you do meet her. At the same time, you can't plan your life around meeting someone who may or may not show up.
to user PinkoLeftist
Divorce Court these days is a lottery. For every story of a woman that made out like a bandit, there is likely a story of a guy making $100k a year that has to pay $50 a month in child support or some similar nonsense.
to user Crazy Lee
Actually I agree with you pretty much entirely. I also hope to be making random allusions as much as you are in 20 or so years.
to user Tree Hugger
Were there any signals early on in the marriage/relationship that made it clear she had some serious problems with sex?
re Stacked Librarian's case
Any friend who dislikes the significant other will, unfortunately, have to take a backburner role. My wife comes before ANY of my friends, and I come before ANY of her friends. Therefore, I have ditched friends who were rude to her, and she has ditched friends who were rude to me.
re the Daniwould v. Quackedtheduck thread
We cannot really control our spouse. We can, however, control our own actions.
re porn
I'm told to avoid Gilligan's Biland. Apparently there's a lot more male/male action than female/male or female/female action.
then
to user I_Make_Jebus_Cry
If someone else is in the right and my wife is in the wrong, then it is my job to mention this to her at a later point. But I shouldn't backstab my wife with people looking on. On the flip side, my wife has distanced herself from some of her more man-hating friends.
to user daniwould
sob ... I've been on FARK for five years and I've never made anyone's profile that I know of. Thanks.
I added myself to MySpace. We'll see who from my past contacts me. I had put some effort into putting down my interests, etc., but then I hit another part of my profile editing and lost it. Oh well, next time.

Well, Becca and I just got back from church. Becca is reading right now and I am sitting around waiting for my digestive system to percolate. Then I'll go to the grocery store. I might ask her to wash the bed, it is getting fairly bad. But then again, she doesn't seem to mind it so much.
Yesterday, Becca and I went to P.F. Chang's (it was Chinese food, mind you, good Chinese food, but just Chinese food) and I dropped off for recycling her cousin Karen's computer that has been occupying space in our house for the past three years. Then I went over to the Nortons (our new minister and his wife) and found they didn't need any help in moving in. In fact, Kurt was off ministering to a young man at our church that was just diagnosed with liver cancer. I got the names of everyone in the family (it's one of the Spanish-speaking families, and I'm not 100% up to speed on everyone in all in the families) so I am going to send a card to them tomorrow (the directory and the cards are up there.)
I also got the impression Nancy would rather have just kicked up her feet for that afternoon -- so I went back home. So her friend Sarah came over. I played on the internet and talked to them -- they tried to watch Memoirs of a Geisha but disliked it so much they stopped watching it after about 45 minutes.
Kurt's first sermon was on the necessity to give a warm greeting to all who are in the house of God. I couldn't agree with it more, really. One of these days I might consider reading more about the "mystery worshippers" who'll show up at a church and then write the church about their experience. We must be careful, not only because the person we ignore or otherwise mistreat could embarrass us in the fulness of time, but because it is the right thing to do.
God commands us to love much more than he commands us to follow certain lists of rules.
The Bible study class was on Revelation 19 -- where the Whore of Babylon is overthrown by an army led by Jesus Christ and the Beast and the false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire. It is a very violent chapter, some churches (of all groups that profess Christianity) ignore it, while others seem to be doing their best to bring on the end times. I am of the opinion that these events will happen in some form, and that through a faith in Christ that manifests itself in the fruits of the Spirit (goodness, love, kindness, generosity, etc.), one can avoid the terrible punishments mentioned here. At the same time, though, those who seek to hasten these events are displaying a terrible hubris. Christ's return will be at a time of HIS choosing, not our own. We cannot ignore the plight of Palestinian and Lebanese Christians to cheer on Israelis, because we think God might return -- do the ends always justify the means?
Well, enough of that. I've got some spams to count and here is the cut and paste job from the Excel spreadsheet.
Best wishes to all.

Well, another day at work. Apparently, we are going to be moving our backup operations to another server. This stuff will take place over the next 6-8 weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to start installing Solaris 10 on the server -- and then my bosses will get me a full membership on http://sunsolve.sun.com -- because right now, I can't get the patches for Solaris 10. But I suppose this will be solved in a panic when something goes wrong and they need the patches.
My wife's with her friend Sarah right now going to a Bible study group with McLean Bible Church. On the 25th (I think) we will be seeing a B-17 bomber that has stayed around since World War II. There's some question reading for VHSL Scholastic Bowl and some home repairs -- right now on the agenda is disposing of an old computer that's taking up space in the basement and getting the area outside the basement properly screened off so leaves won't blow into the stairwell there. Eventually -- the culmination is expanding our porch so we can include a hot tub. THAT will be a lot of fun. But ... one thing at a time, and I hope that we hear from Abby and John soon. It's a bit unusual for them to go two weeks without contacting us ...
Today's SPAM count. The Chinese porn just won't stop. In honor of that, I am ordering some ... Chinese food! Yay!

Well -- Joe Lieberman and Cynthia McKinney look like they are both going down for defeat in today's primaries. Gas looks as if it will hit $3.50 a gallon after the Prudhoe Bay disaster. Iraq and Lebanon remain war zones.
Work went fairly well, nothing special really. I probably should've written more VHSL questions, but I will do so after posting tonight's post. The lights look as if they are going to stay on, which is a tad unfortunate.
Here's the spam count for today. The flood of Chinese porn I started getting on the 26th of July has put porn over the top as far as spam is concerned.

Well, Randy is now gone as our minister. Kurt and Nancy Norton show up on Thursday. I emailed the church secretary, since every one of the members will want to hang out with them. On the plus side, they will be getting free meals for the next couple months. :-)
One of my fellow small group members will be going to Little Rock with her new husband next month. Rebecca and I were suspecting it for a while, but it is now fully in the cards. Hopefully she can continue some sort of business opportunity. We shall see.
Four people have passed on at work in the past six weeks. That has to be some sort of actuarial weirdness. Hopefully the lights will be turned off when I show up at work tonight.
Two people had relatives pass on at church and one more has had her husband suffer a heart attack.
Wow. Lots to pray for today.

Well, Day Two of the lights being out at work has concluded. It seems the women don't like it very much and the men are enjoying it. I suspect we'll go back to normal when the temperatures go back to normal next week.
Came up with some more Scholastic Bowl answers.
I got 34 spams today.

Today is hot. However, after we got a broadcast email asking us to conserve power by doing things like turn off the monitors when we go home, turn off desk lamps when we go home, etc., we got the great idea to turn off the overhead lights in our room and turn on our desk lamps instead.
This worked like a charm. The temperatures went down 3-4 degrees in a matter of minutes, we have a cool vibe that other areas of our office simply don't have, and we saved several kilowatts of energy I'd rather see powering the air conditioner. :-)
Tropical Storm Chris is still projected to hit the Gulf at hurricane strength, untouched by Cuba or Florida. Oil prices are soaring as a result, and of course I got left behind today and yesterday's rises.
Fidel Castro still hovers around death. He has done some good and a lot more bad.
Today's SPAM count will be in a later post when I have access to my spreadsheet.

Today:
It was in the lower 80s in my office today. Outside it was 100 or higher, probably feeling like 110. At least home is somewhat cooler, in the lower 70s with low humidity. Plus, I can wear shorts and a T-shirt. Otherwise, it was a quiet day, perfect for catching up on everything.
VHSL: I wrote the answers to all the Virginia geography and US geography. Now left: world geography.
Tropical Storm Chris is currently predicted to go between Cuba and Florida and emerge into the Gulf of Mexico was a full Hurricane. This doesn't look good. In a few ideas, we'll see if Chris will hit either Cuba or Florida, and where along the Gulf it might be aimed. We'll also see if the freakish hurricane strengthening of the past year (Katrina, Rita, Wilma) was a one-year thing or if another Category Five will be roaring in the Gulf this time next week.

It's another day. Today I'm taking off -- Rebecca is working. I will go out to lunch soon and then work some on VHSL questions.
Am currently listening to Radio Yéyé (French music from the 1960s). Interesting stuff as I have tired of the standard oldies radio rotation, which is gradually being defined away from the 1960s and certainly the 1950s. Will be open to finding Dutch, German or Swedish oldies and certainly some Francopop (if this word doesn't exist to cover the bland popular music that was not anti-Franco or anti-Catholic Church from the 1950s to the 1970s, then it should exist.) The Italian oldies seem decently covered in the nostalgia format I'm familiar with, actually.
I am hoping to find a way to be part of Christ's light in this world. While I am but a poor imitation, it is my hope to find some small method of service.
And now, since most of this blog's six readers (even my family doesn't read this thing) are here for the SPAM count, here it is. The Chinese porn is starting to sag on my mailbox. It's interesting to see cycles start to form even over the two weeks I've been doing this. Porn has moved into 5th place and may well overtake Free stuff and Cheap stuff in the next week. Loans is still running strong, although today there weren't as many loan spams dated from 2038 (amazing!)

Well, yesterday was spent visiting Berryville, where John took some steaks out of my in-laws' freezer and we had a grand old time. John and Abby were VERY kind in preparing dinner for them, Rebecca, my in-laws' friend Monique and me.
Today was the farewell service for Randy and Beth. There was of course the service in the morning and then a reception for them at 4pm today. So -- no small group meeting today. The congregation got them some nice gifts, including a few for Madison and Reese, their kids. Hopefully, Kurt and Nancy Norton will be able to fill some of the role Randy and Beth Wray filled at the Arlington church, and where they are different, they will be able to be a gift to the congregation. The new ministers will be with us in two weeks.

Well, I finally finished the "other social studies" section of the VHSL questions. Now I am to work on "earth science" and nag my contractors into getting things done.
We didn't go out, just to the Metro 29 Diner for lunch and the Don Pablo's in the Potomac Yard Shopping Center (or whatever that thing's called at Glebe and Route 1.) Tomorrow Rebecca and I will drive out to see Luray Caverns and then up to her parents in Berryville, where we'll have dinner with her sister Abby and her husband John.
