Dally you are an arrogant slob - when someone offers you a job you should
have the courtesy to reply.
1.) I'm too intimidating.

Unattractive is another issue. You said your friend doesn't want anyone
who is "intimidating". Women find me intimidating. They have good cause.
I can handle the emotional burden of it, but it does put me out of the
running for the position you're offering.
Don't kid yourself. You;re more emotional than most here
Quoted message said:
Oops, sorry, miscommunication there. I charge $120/hr. I thought you
meant normal bookkeeping rates of around $30/hr (which is what the less
expensive bookkeepers charge.)
There was no miscommunication - that's par for the course here as well,
(tax accountants here charge around $175/hour)

So that would be no problem for you then?
Thanks for the chuckle. When I referred to you as a raving [censored] there
was a judgment implied that perhaps you weren't one of my favorite people.
I'll let you ponder the implications.
I don't know where you get 'raving' [censored]. I don't rave.

Quoted message said:
In other words what exactly are you talented at??
Showing up. Getting out there. Trying. Moving. Day after day, season
after season, sport after sport. It's okay if you don't get it. But it
turns out to be a nice talent if you want to maintain a major fat loss.
I wouldn't say 'persistence' was a talent although I can see your logic.
After all by your definition 'turning up' enough times makes you an athlete
Quoted message said:

David, I've never really understood your perspective. I sometimes think
you're a pleasant chap down-under with a vague interest in exercise, and
other times I think you're a slightly less brain-damaged version of TBR. I
just don't know WHAT you are. I don't much care, but I wonder if YOU know
what you are.
I'll settle for anything other than '[censored]'. Maybe just an 'all around
good guy'?

DOH!
I keep trying to respond in intellectual terms with it. I feel like I'm
beating my head against a brick wall.
I think it might help if I think of David as a less amusing version of
Tavington... a subtle troll, but entirely troll nonetheless.
Sorry. I don't normally read him. I'll shut up now.

If a few people here just stopped treating certain other people like
lepers, and ceased this interminable nonsense concerning "trolls",
normal conversation would return and this Group would begin to get
back on its feet.
The likes of John Williams, Lee Michaels and Wendy have much to answer
for.

I purchased all three of the generic versions of Viagra Cialis and
Levitra from http://www.canadadrugdepo.com. I got these drugs at a
very cheap price. When I cut the viagras in half and use 50 mg also, it
works fine for me. I have been using viagra right from the time it
came out years back in the market and really loved it. After that I
tried Cialis when it came out. this was called "the weekender" because
it was supposed to last up to 36 hours, but it wasn't as effective as
viagra or maybe I was just used to getting the hard steel pipe erection
from viagra.
