lol...okay, giving up....

[kikki_243]

But then again, if you're dangerous, you become somewhat of a liability, which isn't all tthat great either.

[Kzin]

My wife keeps saying "You don't look dangerous, you look sick!"..sigh the story of my life

[Yvonne]

I wish, just once someone would say I'm dangerous...sigh...

I am sorry....I could say it but no one would believe me so what it the point

[Kzin]

I wish, just once someone would say I'm dangerous...sigh...

Thank you, Yvonne.
I'm glad that the people here haven't changed - still as sweet and lovely as I remember them.

[Yvonne]

Back Kik
Hope to see you around soon again

[Kzin]

Hope you'll have sweet dreams and hope to see you again soon...grin

[kikki_243]

Heh, well you're quite a bit ahead of me, I gather.

Ugh, that's got to be annoying. As a university student, I've discovered the value of sleep.
Speaking of that, it's almost quarter to 2 in the morning here. I was working on a physics lab, but I think I'm not getting anywhere any more.
I hate to cut our conversation short, but I think I'd better call it a night... or morning!
Anyways, it was nice to be back, and I hope I return again soon, hopefully not in three years time from now. I was marginally surprised my account was still here, let alone I knew the login.
I hope you have a good one!

[Kzin]

Lol...left university some years back....

doing good in your courses probably means you have choosen the ones you like.

Oh life is great with me...cat wakes me at 4am...

[kikki_243]

Oh wow. I was quite expecting to be ignored or something.
But thank you for the welcome!

Life's good, I suppose -- lots of big changes. I went to university this year, actually; it's my first year there.
I've been having a good time, though, and been doing well in my courses, so I must be doing something right.

How about for you?

[Kzin]

Welcome back!

I do remember you and it is nice that you're back....

How is life?

[kikki_243]

Well then.
I've been away from these parts of the internet for... a long time, now. 2010, last I reckon, and that was only a day or so. But somehow, I've wandered back here.
It's changed a lot... I'm not sure I recognize anyone any more, and I'm sure I wouldn't be recognized by the few I remember either. I'm not even sure where to start, which is why this post is probably quite out of place. But as far as I recall, chit-chat was always a place to post whatever you felt like talking about. So here goes.
Hello, world.

...All right, now I feel like a geek.
Anyway, hi. I'm Kik. I hope it'll be nice to be back.

I got a whole buncha stories, mostly band & bar stuff, I'm not good with jokes but I love to tell funny stories.

Speakin' of work, this happened to me way back when I worked in a music store:

A little background: I lived in Madrid,Spain in the late '60s, my father was with NASA during the Apollo program. NASA employees are civilians, so we couldn't even go on the USAF base, much less go to school there, so me & my brothers went to Spanish schools. Consequently, I learned to speak perfect Castillian Spanish with a Madrid accent.

In 1976 &77 I was working in a music store in Santa Fe,NM. A Spanish (that's what they call themselves in NM, not Hispanic) couple came in one day lookin' for a cheap guitar. I showed them our cheapest beginner outfit, guitar,case,strap & 3 picks, about $50 at the time, a good seller for us.
Now I'm a red-haired, blue-eyed, turn-lobster-red-in-the-sun guy, I certainly don't look like I speak Spanish.

So, in a gesture of extreme rudeness, they start speaking Spanish: "This (bad Spanish word) just trying to rip us off because we're Spanish" along with some other choice words. I just stood there smiling & when they finished they said in English "We'll go check some other places".

Right as they turned around to walk out, I said in Spanish "Thanks for coming in, hope you find what you're looking for, have a nice day"

They hit the door at a dead run :LOL:

Then my boss, the owner, stuck his head around the corner & asked "Are they gone?" "Yep" I said. He says "I knew you were gonna do that!" (he was Spanish) & practically fell down laughing & bought me dinner that night

[Yvonne]

I love the stories
I wish I had some to tell but my life is so not exciting
I never go to bars and the only things I could talk about are work stories but there aren't any
