Does anyone(?) think that this is a good idea for a crossover story?

Let me tell y’all a story ‘bout a man named Jed,  
Poor Pegasan barely kept his family fed.
Then one day he was hosting Teyla Em
When she saw on his shelf that he had a ZPM!

Power Starter…  Ancient Fuel…

Now Teyla said that she’d like to trade for that.

Jed said “Now, you’ll have to feed me till I’m fat!”

His kinfolk said to get away from all of this

So he packed up his kin and moved to Altantis…

Stargate Country…  Through the wormhole…

all comments welcome, especially sarcastic ones.

We know it's coming.  And we have another sign...

When a 16 year old celebrity girl announces that she is pregnant by her 'long term boyfriend' and NOWHERE in the article is there any condemnation of the event....

Well, I for one am disgusted.

Poor White Trash of the World!  We have another poster child!  I am so proud....

It's official...  I now work in a bubble.  I built it myself.  I'm so proud.

Please Ignore the leaky ceiling and excess garbage...  Those are part of the reason I had to build a bubble.

Yes, the holidays are upon us.  And how did you spend YOUR Thanksgiving?

I spent mine killing off a favorite SGA character in a story that will hopefully appear in an LJ entry near you before the end of the year.

And while people can be a pain in the butt, Hope Springs Eternal that this too shall pass!

Nothing to see here folks   Move Along   Move Along

1.  You have excellent reasons to love your church.  They are wonderful people who do surprising things for you.  Don't forget them, and start attending regularly again.  These people like you.  And you like them.  Be around them!

2. Your dating history is a joke.  STOP!  Just back off for a while.  Yes I know that you like women and that they like you.  Unlike random note number one DON'T be around them.

3.   Either play pool or play poker.  You really can't keep doing both two nights a week.  One night a week of each?  Perhaps.  But choose.  You can't keep living the hours you live.

4. Either clarify the rules of the house or get out on your own again.  You've done it before very well.  You can do it again.  It was actually a lot of fun maintaining your own place.

5. DON'T GET MARRIED AGAIN!

Imagine that you are walking into a bar...  let's call it Cocktails...

   As you walk past a table toward the bar you hear a snatch of conversation.

  Man to Woman:  "Sandy needs to buy you a vibrator for Christmas."

  Woman to Man:  "Oh God I need one!  Joe broke all of mine."

  There are so many directions your mind can take that conversation as you miss the rest of it on your way to order a drink from the bartender.  Who is Joe?  And do you really want to be introduced to Joe, knowing what you know about him?  

   Now the fact is that this conversation was real.  But instead of being unknown people I knew all three of the people at the table.  Bill was with his girlfriend Sandy, talking to Rachel about her ex-boyfriend Joe.

   The fact that I know all the people involved, and knew what they were talking about, and was blase' enough to continue on past to see who the new cute bartender was kind of scares me.

Well now...  Layoffs at work, announced a day early.

And I survived.

I'm relieved that I still have a job, of course.  But I sincerely wonder at the criteria that were used to make the final selections.  I honestly think I do good work, but nobody is indispensable, and I really thought I was going to get the axe.  

Some of the people who are leaving really surprised me.  JR and Big John are two of the most honest, hard working people I know.  And for some reason they have been let go.  Nobody is leaving yet of course.  The company very graciously is giving all the laid off employees 3 weeks notice.  So they all stay on the payroll until November 2nd and that keeps their insurance benefits active until the end of November.  John Hixson did NOT have to do that for them.  He is a good man in a tight place right now.

Interestingly I was asked to be a door guard this morning.  I have been asked to make sure that expensive tools and other equipment does not make its way out the back door and into the trunks of peoples cars.  An unexpected but necessary request.  A lot of these guys are pretty angry and feel the company owes them in one way or another.

All in all, a bloody end to a week that started out so nicely...  Darn the bad luck.

Well, I am back from the wedding and according to

Okay then,

This was an interesting weekend.  I entered my first (fairly) major pool tournament, and finished about eleven places away from the money.

I outlasted two of my fellow teammates, and two of my former coaches.  Twice during the tournamet I lost to an opponent, only to knock them out of the tournament when we got paired together again.  I honestly believe that at my ranking I am the best player in the league.  The trick at this point is to get my self rated just one notch higher, and then one notch higher again.

I'm having problems with the number of people who seem to recognize me on this road.  I'm supposed to be incognito, keeping a low profile.  But I ran into people at the tournament who walked up to me and called my by name and for the life of me I had NO IDEA where I had seen them before.  Obviously around a pool table, but when?  And the ONE lady I would have LOVED to remember me, a good friend of two of my teammates, just looks right past me like I am not even there.  Ahh the lovely Julia.  (I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!  NO MORE 'J' NAMES)  Yes, her name alone would keep me from introducing her to friends and family.  Just because my ex-wives all have names that begin with the letter 'J'.  I have yet to figure out why that is...

Anyway, I finished 19th out of 98 players at my first major tournament and that is not a bad thing.  I just need to get invited again.

EW is over halfway up and running.  How many more chapters to go?  Eight?  I am fascinated by the story, especially after seeing the rough draft that it started as. 

[    dossier    you are simply astounding. ? ]

It was a long road to get here.  I don't recognize anyone and nobody recognizes me.    Perfect
