Well, I guess that lets me out. I'm an engineering type and always wanted to be a teacher/lecturer. Well, at least on things I know about. Not what the politicians do and go on and on about a subject they haven't the slightest idea of what it is about.

But my wife is worse when it comes to calling me. We drove out to Lake Elsinore today to drop her off at a friend's parent's home. Tomorrow morning they are driving up to St. George, Utah for a week (her friend lives up there and she will fly back to Long Beach from Las Vegas next Wednesday).

Anyway, it took us a little over an hour to get to Lake Elsinore going East on the 91 Freeway then South on the I-15 Freeway to the house. We left North Long Beach at noon and got there about a quarter after one.

I visited for a few minutes but wanted to get home before the Freeway traffic got too heavy. I made only one 3 minute stop at the Lake Elsinore airport to take a look at 3 old DC-3 Airplanes there in their plain aluminum brush finish (and no camera with me - darn it).

I left their house at about 1:40 PM. Sure enough, about a half hour later at arouond 2:05 my wife calls me on the cell phone and asks, "Where are you? Are you home yet?"

I answered, "I'm westbound on the 91, coming up to the 55 and doing 70 miles and hour."

She thought I would be home in less than half the time it took us to get there?


GAWD I hate that Motorola Razer/Verizon "LEASH" she bought for me. I've got a Blue Tooth ear piece for it but didn't bring it along for such a short trip. Besides, I've forgotten how to set it up again anyway.

AKA: THE ELECTRONIC WHIP!

The wording sometimes depends on the situation or time of day. Sometimes no words are needed at all so long as eye contact still works.

Why would you ever date such men. Seems more of a pain in the arse then anything. Cant stand women the same way except for the food part.

Speaking for all slackers down the hall, we resent your work ethic! Someone has to make you look good!

People who litter

[ShawnG]

1. Obesity... to include someone I know who was with me while buying a blazer from Express Men stating, "Must be nice to be able to shop here." To which my thoughts read, "Well, you could to if you stopped eating 3 cheeseburgers, a bean burrito, french fries dipped in mayo, and 3 cans of soda at 11 p.m. every night before bed."

2. People who drag their feet

3. Women who become irritated at men who look at their chest when they have 6" of cleavage showing. I know you don't look at my crotch during conversation because (a) it's not a foot below my face in natural line of sight and (b) I don't have my goods hanging out as a natural distraction. (We, as a gender, are amazed by breasticles. Not our fault. We were predisposed to this since birth.)

4. Longer than necessary phone conversations

5. Oversized sloppy looking clothing (i.e. 1/2 of the under-30 male population's wardrobe)

6. White shoes that are dirty and scuffed... worn for reasons other than yard work

7. PETA

8. Yankees fans and Cowboys fans

I can make myself look good all on my own, thank you very much!

Although I guess I'm considered a slacker at the moment for posting on WAB instead of doing my updates!

I resemble that remark with exception to the "rail" part. Eating a healthy (although sometimes dont seem that way) diet keeps my weight within 7-10 lbs constant. Also I work it off very easily on a daily basis and sometimes have to eat things (cheese steaks etc) I know put weight on to maintain normalcy. If there is such a thing.
