I missed this reply of yours ( and the wife unit is trying to hustle me out of the house, so I'll try to look at it better when I get back! )... one other thing? Just to be certain no malware is slowing or otherwise messing with your PC, try this very thorough online scan:

I happened across a thread about dating. It's good. LOL

Link: How To Torpedo A First Date

I posted this to that thread. I'm posting it here too.

Did you ever let yourself get talked into going on a date only to discover within the first two minutes you'd rather be any place on this Earth than on the date?

Well, Help is at hand......

Just follow any of these tips:

• At dinner, guard your plate with fork and steak knife, so as to give the impression that you'll stab anyone, including the waiter, who reaches for it.
  
  
• Collect the salt shakers from all of the tables in the restaurant, and balance them in a tower on your table.
  
  
• Wipe your nose on your date's sleeve. Twice.
  
  
• Make funny faces at other patrons, then sneer at their reactions.
  
  
• Repeat every third third third word you say say say.
  
  
• Read a newspaper or book during the meal. Ignore your date.
  
  
• Stare at your date's neck, and grind your teeth audibly.
  
  
• Twitch spastically. If asked about it, pretend you don't know what they are talking about.
  
  
• Stand up every five minutes, circle your table with your arms outstretched, and make airplane sounds.
  
  
• Order a bucket of lard.
  
  
• Ask for crayons to color the placemat. This works very well in fancier venues that use linen tablecloths.
  
  
• Recite your dating history. Improvise. Include pets.
  
  
• Pull out a harmonica and play blues songs.
  
  
• Sacrifice french fries to the great deity, Pomme.
  
  
• When ordering, inquire whether the restaurant has any live food.
  
  
• Without asking, eat off your date's plate. Eat more from their plate than they do. Drool.
  
  
• Recite graphic limericks to the people at the table next to you.
  
  
• Ask the people at the neighboring table for food from their plates and Ask your date how much money they have with them.
  
  
• Communicate in mime the entire evening.
  
  
• Upon entering the restaurant, ask for a seat away from the windows, where you have a you have a good view of all exits, and where you can keep your back to the wall. Act nervous.
  
  
• Lick your plate. Offer to lick theirs.
  
  
• Hum. Loudly. In monotone.
  
  
• Hold a debate. Take both sides.
  
  
• Slide under the table. Take your plate with you.
  
  
• Order a baked potato for a side dish. When the waiter brings your food, hide the potato, wait a few minutes, and ask the waiter for the potato you "never got". When the waiter returns with another potato for you, have the first one back up on the plate. Repeat later in the meal.
  
  
• Speak in pig latin throughout the meal
  
  
• Take a break, and go into the restroom. When you return to the table, throw a spare pair of underwear on the back of one of the chairs. Insist that they just need airing out.
  
  
• If they are paying, order the most expensive thing on the menu. Take one bite.
  
  
• Bring 20 or so candles you, and during the meal get up and arrange them around the table in a circle. Chant.
  
  
• Save the bones from your meal, and explain that you're taking them home to your invalid, senile old mother, because it's a lot cheaper than actually feeding her.
  
  
• Take a thermos along, and hide it under the table. Order coffee, and fill the thermos one cup at a time, taking advantage of the free refills.
  
  
• Insist that the waiter cuts your food into little pieces. In a simliar vein, insist that he take a bite of everything on the plate, to make sure no one poisoned it.
  
  
• Accuse your date of espionage.
  
  
• Make odd allusions to dangerous religious cults.
  
  
• Don't use any verbs during the entire meal.
  
  
• Pass the hat in the restaurant. Use the proceeds (if any) to pay the bill.
  
  
• Feed imaginary friends, or toy dolls you've brought along.
  
  
• Bring a bucket along. Explain that you frequently get ill.

lol well I can't say that I've been on a date where I tried any of those, but I have been on a date where I wished I was anywhere but there.

Thankfully my date felt the same way so we called it an early evening :)

What's funny is, now we are friends and spend time over coffee once or twice a month.

[tuliptree76]

Good evening.

[apackof2]

Sometimes friends is better

[apackof2]

[Leatherneck_MT]

Quite true, no expectations either way.

[apackof2]

Do you hate yours too?

[tuliptree76]

Well, I'm a bit tired of it. I've only been working on it for the past 5 months. LOL!
