And it's not "I say so." I've read articles on RGP and online gaming, so I have a good idea as to the male/female and age breakdowns.

Tonight: Babysit after work for two wonderful little girls. I thought their parents would go do happy hour. Nope, they're going to go fishing and drink beer. So I get to see their two kids and still have a big chunk of my night left to myself.
Tomorrow: Birthday drinks with friends.
Mom's boyfriend is in the hospital with a fever, so plans to meet them for supper are out.

Sealing the deck tonight/tomorrow, and going to the free Minnesota Orchestra concert at the Harriet Bandstand on Sunday

Calling him a virgin was mostly an insult (most gamers are men age 20-30).

I thought you meant virgin gamer, as in first time playing WOW.

I was nto claiming its your opinion. I'm just saying, if this was his first time playing(which is what I thought you meant by virgin), why would he assume that the female character he is talking to is really a man? Its counter intuitive.

Oh, I getcha! No, it wasn't his first time playing -- he was a very high level (I'm 77, highest level was 85 but they moved that this month to 90 -- he was higher than me). The guy probably has been playing for a few years.

I'm nice to the newbies! Sometimes I go to the starting ground areas and give away helpful stuff to the newbies.

Tonight: dinner at my friend C's house. Her husband has a hunting license for alligator, so we're having fresh gator tail appetizers and then Thai food for dinner. And wine.

Tomorrow: I decided to treat myself to a pedicure after my errands and shopping. Then tomorrow night I'm still deciding where to watch the game. Jasper is in Colorado for school, my friend who's a Vols fan is going TO the game (jealous!), my work friends are more into pro football than college... I might venture out to a sports bar on my own and see how it goes. I want a fun atmosphere if possible vs. just me on the couch with my dogs.

Sunday: more football, and then picking up Jasper at the airport really late (so if I drink, I have to drink early, haha).

Tonight: I have no idea.

Sat: A whole bunch of nothing, if I can help it. Maybe switching out my closet; it's getting chilly in the mornings. If it's *really* nice, maybe we'll head up to the Botanic Gardens. Saturday night, Dickie is working at the studio and me and the girls are going out to dinner with the in-law's and her cousin and wife. Should be fun; the girls really like Cousin A (the wife)- they were flower girls in their wedding.

Sun: Dickie is playing golf in the morning, the girls are going to church with FIL - maybe I'll save the closet switch for this morning...Then in the afternoon, I suspect we'll be playing outside with the neighbors. Nunu and CJ, the 5 yo boy from downstairs, are becoming quite the pair. But he can be sneaky and we're going to have to keep our eyes on him especailly as they get older - but for now they have a good time playing together.

How 'bout Jay Cutler?

Grrrr! It wasn't just Jay. The front line fell apart. They looked like high school players. Horrible game.

Coffee, more coffee -- then go shopping but only bring what you're willing to blow (as in money).

Mimi a farmville funny:

I took the day off yesterday to go riding with Bambi (I nailed her at a secluded scenic overlook, lol) and it was cool outside, so I wore my riding jacket.

As we were riding, Bambi felt my phone vibrate inside my coat (she puts her hands in my pockets to keep warm), which means I got a text message or some sort of notification.

She told me and I said, "yeah, someone probably needs chickens for their farm."

I'm absolutely sick and tired of the Bears making the Packer defense and Dom Capers look like the 85 bears defense and Buddy Ryan.

That was an embarrassment, again!

There are things you can do, when defenses are constantly blitzing you. There is a reason why teams in the NFL don't blitz 50% of the time. The bears fail to take advantage of that, time and time again.

We get out coached just about every time we play them.
