(finally figured it out, except for location, i think. But, heck, even if I'm wrong, the <grin> still applies, since I get a kick out of watching you two get a kick out of each other.)

My cheek muscles are hurting from all the grinning. Sheesh!
Even responding to RFPs (request for proposals)can't get me down.
<Bob goes back to considering whether it's worthwhile to bid on a project knowing he'll say yes mainly because the required travel would put him within driving distance of dkw at least twice in the coming year...>

I thought we already determined in Storm’s thread that I have absolutely no shame on this subject.

I personally would like to have at least ONE date with dkw before exchanging rings...
Oh, and the trouble with RFPs is you legally have to open them up to any qualified bidder. And the bids (minus the cost proposal section) usually become public property.

One. In the lyrics thread, when I posted that you had posted to the lyrics thread and then, when I proclaimed "Yahoo!" I really meant Yay! I was not calling you a yahoo. That has been worrying me ever since.
Two. I just read the cartoon thread. There was a lot about Spongebob, and my evil mind made you a new name, for when "Scopez" wears out:
SpongeBob Scopantz.
Sorry to use this thread in this way, but I figured you would be back in here, and I would have your undivided attention, so that is that.

(and that takes some doing, let me tell you!)
Take that back!
Must be channelling memories. I was pretty much in your position back in late 1996 through the fall of 1997, when Diane and I fell for each other and struggled with a long-distance relationship (but still about 400 miles closer than you and Dana are).
Was a surprising and wondrous time...
Not as surprising any more, and sometimes the wonder gets taken for granted. No downside. It's a different time, but still very good. Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

Once, while my then-boyfriend and I were coming out of a movie theater, we saw a middle-aged couple standing near the road. The woman reached over and spanked the man right on the butt, right out in public. It was the greatest moment of my life. We laughed and laughed and we were so happy for them, it was great. I hope I'm like that when I'm all old. Posts: 6367 | Registered: Aug 2003

Psi...if the greatest moment of your life involves middle-aged people spanking each other in public, I really think you might want to check out some other types of Bulletin Boards.
What, exactly, is middle-aged? This is an important question for me.
Bob, When you and DKW get into the rythm of being together, and you feel things need a boost, just have a big concert for her fortieth birthday. It will earn you at least ten years of "hand."(in the Seinfeldian way)

Don't remember "Miller Analogies" - I ended up with a ridiculously high percentile ranking on the verbal part of GRE. 60th for math.
(However, I failed the part about marking your name, address, etc down with the appropriate pencil mark - that part of the test is timed for your motor ability.) It took me two months later than other people to get my test results.

um...I don't understand. Because you needed extra time to bubble in your name, they delayed you getting your results?
Weird.
When I taught at University of Central Florida, I had one student with multiple special needs for taking tests. She had diminished sight and epilepsy. She also had the highest grade in the class before suffering a gran mal seizure and having to miss the last half of the semester. I actually learned a lot about what a school (or testing center) can do to help students who aren't able to finish in the required time or need assistance of readers or devices. It was really very painless for the instructor since we could just drop off our normal test and let the student and the test center work out the rest.
It seems like the GRE ought to be at least as sophisticated as a school like UCF -- not high on the list of enlightened places in the universe. Although their stock rose dramatically when I found out about how they did their job in the test center. Very cool.

*sigh* It wasn't really their fault. At this point, I was only just beginning to come to grips with the subtle but pervasive differences in my motor functioning.
During the SATs, they gave us a LOT of time to fill in the bubbles for our names and stuff. The time allocated in the GRE's, a different group than the ones taking the SATs, is less - but it's not a formal thing. They asked if anyone was still working on the info on first part of the test. Three times. The last two times they asked I was the only one affected. I rushed through that part due to my own awkwardness and failure to deal with the issue. (It's a little harder to explain in my case too, since I don't seem to have any difficulties - at least on casual observation.)
There wasn't an issue with the rest of the test, which has been timed based on the cognitive demands of the test. My reading comprehension skills are sufficiently above average that they more than compensate for the lag in my motor skills.
Anyway, back to fluffy twitterpating between you and Dana. Is fun to watch. I think I'll just shut up and enjoy for awhile.

thought I had it for a minute - think I did something wrong in transcribing.
