Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Lestat]

Just had a rather good deed done for me tonight actually too.

I'd been to the doctor to pick up an antibiotic rx, and needed to buy some food too, for the fridge had in it nought but two steaks and a block of stilton cheese. Albeit some of my favourite food, and I had about half a bottle of coke left. So some shopping had to be done. I did have a lift waiting for me in the carpark behind the store, but I'm on crutches if I have to go out of the house atm, because I can't put two shoes  on, can't wear a shoe on the foot that  I had the toenail torn out from (for the record, its every bit as shit as it sounds like it would be.)

The lady from the counter who took my food and drink purchase at the till, plus the two packs of cigars I bought, she offered of her own accord, indeed quite insisted, after asking had I far to go, and finding out I had to get to the car park, to take the three or four heavy bags of produce and carry them for me. Even waited whilst I had to draw out some money I owed my old man, and carried it all for me, because I was on crutches and finding it really difficult. Got the door for me and everything.

Plus, I found a small baggie of a certain something that had been dropped in the street, and quickly pocketed that, too, while I was leaving the car to get to the pharmacy and get my antibiotics. So a bit of luck, and a really, really kind lady, leaving the shop and taking my bags of food to the car for me. Really grateful for that. Did try to say thanks with a donut of her choice (I got several types) but she wouldn't even take it. Just my gratitude for her help.

Would you speak to a bloke like that? How about odeon or Al? See it’s not just friendly, it’s because they’re women. It’s slimey because you’re extra nice to (multiple) women and overly praise them just because they are women, and even when they are taken. Blergh.

And someone like Walkie might mention something relatively minor like they’re cold, then no longer. Then you go on to say something like, “It warmed my heart that you had been miserable from the cold”. Blergh blergh blergh blergh.

Plus just got home in time for star trek-TOS followed by TNG to be coming on in about 25 min, after the end of this horror movie.

heck, this is getting further and further from "Post something good..."


To be fair to Lestat, the "slobbery" stuff was actually in another thread (which i would guess FWM read first)

But to be fair to FWM , and to reinforce her point,  I did find that slobbery post embarassing, and was at a loss for a reply.

To be fair to Lestat , again,  I would not be the least bit surprised to find that his RL behaviour is a lot more judiciouous  than his posting style suggests. And I do believe that he has a good heart.
 
To be fair to FWM , "blergh" kinda hit the nail on the head, IMO.

And to be fair to Lestat: well, it would not be action of a real friend  to keep such thoufghts to oneself, IMO, and let him carry on pissing people off, all unawares.

To further be fair to Lestat: I don;'t think we can reasonab;y  demand that you like men and women equally. Most people do have a bias, after all.  I, for instance,  generally get on better with men, because they're more staight-talking than women. (though i also get on with Aspie women for the same reason) .  And i've had mates who get along with women better than men, for non-creepy if utterly mysterious reasons . I think we can only ask that Lestat  try not express that bias  in too creepy a fashion!

To further fair to Lestat: he does like to use hyberboplic language, doesn't he? and not only of female friends but male friends too (wolfie springs to mind) and enemies off both sexes , or no sex at all; well,  just about everything on this planet, basically. So it has to be viewed in that context, IMO.

To be further fair to FWM: she's a spazz. I'm a spazz . we're all spazzes here; and spazzes do tend to associate hyperbole (of the gushing, affectionate  kind) with NT insincerity and hypocrisy, because that's what it usually  indicates.   Therefore the rising of the hackles is a naturally conditioned response to it.

To be further fair to Lestat: he is also a spazz, and not given to hypocrisy, so I think that's not an apptoriate response  in this case.  But that's bound to be the response he gets nonetheless.

Conclusion? sorry, guys,  there is no conclusion, just a bunch of conflicting observations .

And someone like Walkie might mention something relatively minor like they’re cold, then no longer. Then you go on to say something like, “It warmed my heart that you had been miserable from the cold”. Blergh blergh blergh blergh.

Point taken (as you see, above) but actually it wasn't relatively minor.  My post about it, plaintive though it was,  was understated. My bleedin' life revovles around the imperative to keep myselfwarm, these days.  Given my metabolic issues, that level of cold  might have have done a lot worse than fuck with my brain (as it did). It could have killed me. So I don't think the sympathy etc. was misplaced. On the other hand, i've no reason to think that Lestat got how serious it was, any more than you did.

The PR had a good day bowling.  In her four games she had:

One Chicken (3 spares in a row)
Four spares in a row - no slang term for this
Two Doubles (2 strikes in a row)
One Turkey  (3 strikes in a row)

She's bloody excellent at bowling, bumpers or not.

I was told by the chiropractor that I don't have to come back for a week. That suits me as I'm a little bit awkward with the touchy feely.

[Lestat]

I second that. The PR is a gal with class AND talent AND looks. Definitely a good combination no matter in who it arises. Good game, PR, and consider this a formal and happily given 'well fucking done your royal highness' with a big smile too

I've a distinct feeling if we bowled competitively, she'd eat me alive and spit out the bones after snapping the ends off them and sucking out the marrow. then using the bits to flick bowling balls.

[Queen Victoria]

Thanks both of you.  The PR laughed at Lestat's post.

[Lestat]

You got no idea how happy you have just made me, QV. You just made my week
