so. you're sitting in a long booth at a bar, with plenty of room to your left. two people are trying to fit in to your right. one of those people, a young (VERY GOOD LOOKING AND STYLISHLY DRESSED AND AWESOME) stranger, smiles and makes eye contact with you, while simultaneously handing you your large (AWFUL) purse that is sitting where she would like to sit. are you upset that she touched your purse/bag/whatever? do you find it threatening?



am i in the wrong here? cause where i'm from, and where i've been, it has been my understanding that this sort of thing is not a big deal. this girl basically lost her shit over this little purse-touching incident.

*edit* for a little bit of clarification. i was handing her her bag because i assumed she was in the process of moving, since we were sitting down. i didn't realize that she wasn't interested in sliding over -- for little to no reason, as far as my friends and i could gather. i wasn't trying to be pushy and take the seat, but i'm pretty sure it was taken that way. also: the good looking etc. part is just a little joke guys. :)

Wow... I was totally not expecting my post looking for a certain pair of earrings to start this massively huge debate... I'm intrigued and amused.

I have recently been informed that Robot Body Piercing apparently has them... Thanks to all who responded. I got a good laugh out of the back and forth.

And I will point out to anyone that has anything to say about large gauge piercings in obvious places - take a look at my userpic.  That's me.  I have a huge tattoo on the back of my neck.  Do you really think then that my decision to enlarge my earring gauges TRULY counts as mutilation?  LoL.

Thanks again.

So, some people out there think I'm the sort of guy who knows people ("Hey, Linsel, you're someone who knows people...") and they look to me to come up with solutions to their problems.

I've had Three different women come to me in the last month, looking for suggestions on apartments for rent.
I've been a home owner for the last three years, and before that I lived with friends...

You lot seem like a bunch of vagabonds -- where do you suggest people look for rentals? 
Heck, if I had my druthers, I'd have all three of them live with me, but alas I've only so much room, and ultimately I'd likely get sick of em.

Sweet Pea Bakery Sunday Brunch!


REPOST!!
===================
Hi Friends!

Its time for us to finally start this! This Sunday, from 9am until noon or so, we will be having an all you can eat brunch buffet. $10 gets you coffee and juice and as much french toast, pancakes, potatoes, scramble, biscuits and gravy, etc etc as you can eat.

Plus, come do some shopping at Herbivore and Food Fight, and maybe make a tattoo appointment at Scapegoat.

If this week goes well, we will be doing this every sunday through spring and summer.

all of you who have been coming in regularly are awesome. we love seeing your faces all the time.

xoxo

Sweet Pea is located on the corner of SE 12th & Stark! (in the er, LoSt neighborhood, according to our own synthcat) :)

Ok damnportlanders I have a math question that is probably really easy but I am stuck.

I'm not the greatest at math so if someone could help me solve this that would be awesome!!!

John Doe decided to add on a wrap-around porch to his house. He owns a 2,000 sq.ft. rectangular house. The length of the sides of his house is 50ft. Because of the land restrictions the porch can only extend 5 feet on the left and right sides of the house.
The length of the front and back of John's house is 40ft. He wants the porch to extend twice as far in the back as in the front.
John has budgeted $10,000 for the decking materials and has chosen cedar decking costing $5 per sq.ft. How many feet will the porch extend in the front and the back?



ok there it is. I somehow ended up with 500ft in the front and 1000ft in the back. I don't think thats right.

Help me out!
and...............go!
