Back to Back Cook Outs

I tell you being outside in the August sun for several hours two days in a row is brutal. I kind of feel like that earthworm that didn't make it back to the grass and becomes a piece of jerky on the sidewalk. Honestly I don't think I got really that much sun, but I am worn out.

Yesterday's office block party went well, although attendance is still down. However we got some people from the therapist office to come over. For me I was the short order cook for the event. I think I might of even got a mild first degree burn from all the heat. Towards the end someone else wanted to man the grill. Holy shit was he anal about it. Checking how long it took his hand to get warm to tell the temperature. Moving things just right. I felt like saying, "dude I just did this for 2 hours it's not that complicated."

I went over to my singles cook out today. I realized I haven't been up on the peninsula probably since I went out with German Girl a year ago. I forgot how much I hate the long trip. IT gets a lot longer trying to avoid all the traffic. Anyway just before I got there German Girl called and said she would be late. This kind of sucked since she was going to be 2 hours late and I was hoping for someone I knew there. Anyway I'm a survivor and continued on. I did know one guy there from a few events I went to last year. I have to admit it was a fun time. Hot as hell, but fun. Everyone was very nice and lived on the opposite side of the planet from me. One thing I did get reminded of is how incredibly attractive German Girl is. Also that we mix like a rock and water. We're good with the email communication a few time a week, but beyond that it's just not there.

On the home front Quiet Guy has finally moved in and Mini Me is visiting this weekend. We're having dinner together tonight so we'll see how that goes. Port Girl still has not moved back in and since her life islike a Lifetime movie who the hell knows what's going on.

Are You Trying to Seduce Me?

Well I've gotten a lot of email on doctors, patients, and relationships. I've repeated myself many times and I figured I might as well post it plus some of my more interesting moments.

Going out with your patients isn't illegal, just unethical. However it can lead to lawsuits if the relationship goes sour in a bad way. The problem relationship wise is the power dynamic. A doctor can tell you to take off your clothes and you'll do it. However the reverse isn't true. There was a write up on all this last year in a journal. If you want to date a patient you should stop seeing them and wait 5 years so that the power dynamic goes away. The second way is intense therapy for the patient and couples therapy for both of you for 6 months. In both instances I think it's easier to get a date someplace else. I don't know how other professions are, but I do know the chiropractic one is pretty much filled with doctors breaking this. Thumbs up for my profession. Dumb asses.

I have to admit thinking back over my career I've had a lot of women come onto me. Surprisingly a hell of lot more when I was married. Only two since then. I blogged about one and the other one was more of a feeling. The woman was attractive, but I tell you she laid on my table like a virgin on here wedding night. I remember looking at her and shaking my head. She only came to 2 appointments before disappearing.

One of the bigger pains is when women come in with short skirts that equal a belt around their ass and saying once their on the table. "Oh I forgot I was seeing you today." The response in my mind I think a lot of people have been seeing you today. I've only had one breast exposure when one woman's breast popped out of her loose shirt. Many women have told me they've been dreaming about me.

I would say the top two women patients have been the Moaner and MA. The moaner would moan so much during treatment I would swear she would need a cigarette after it was over. She was also very direct. She told me that was so great she wanted to take me home with her.

MA was my first patient to ever venture over the line. As my last name is Vanella I've had so many women tell me it's their favorite flavor that I don't even notice anymore. However MA took it one more step. "Vanella? Do you taste as good?"

Condom Announcement

I do want to thank everyone for the email telling me the dangers of leaving condoms in the hot summer car.  I do know this.  I don't even remember how they came to be in there.  However like a few extra bits of crap that didn't make the list their not in the way.  The true reason is that it's a crying shame to toss out condoms that were never used.  For whatever reason.  It's like finding an expired gift certificate.  Shit it had value and so much potential.  But atlas it was wasted.

The Gut Wins

Talking to my friend the other day who use to be a cop and talking about how do you know when someone is lying.  We both knew how to read people and while he was better I was still pretty good at picking the stuff up.  When you give me this long drawn out story like I hear from panhandlers I knew it's all crap.  Well that is what I felt last night when I got this woman's email.  Got the reply today and it's crap trying to send me to another site.  LOL.  I had this feeling.

Anyway going over my stats for the business.  Somehow I made a profit last month.  Actually it was the third month in a row.  It feels weird since I have lint in my pocket.  Somehow I have lowered my expenses and this has brought about the profit.  How I did this is still a mystery.  Last month it dropped 50% so I really need to look at that and see how I can reproduce that.

Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth

I still online date occasionally.  To do so I use Plenty of Fish since it's free so I can use it when the urge hits me.  Well lo and behold the urge hit me today mostly since my new patient canceled and I had free time on my hands.  Anyway I spot a gorgeous women and she actually had a good profile.  So what the hey I drop her a line.  I was surprised to get a assertive response and an invite to get together for drinks.  Maybe it's just the cynic in me as I get older.  Can I see some ID to make sure your Ed McMahon?  Gorgeous, assertive, and really wants to meet.  There's got to be something wrong here.  Like my friend Paul would say, "God's good, but he's not that good."  Well I'll just pray and see how it goes.

German Girl

German Girl initiated us talking.  Then after a bout of emailing we decided to go out.  She was very attractive, and we had a lot in common, but we had no chemistry.  However since we had emailed for so long already due to her vacation and my son visiting we decided to keep in touch.  That was a year ago and we still communicate about twice a week.  My biggest problem with German Girl is piss or get off the pot which brings me to the reason for this entry.  German Girl usually gets off the pot.  A guy I know told me about a singles cookout up on the Peninsula this weekend.  It's a bit of a drive, but I found out about half the people were coming from down here.  Having the weekend off again I really wanted to do something.  However the long drive and not knowing anyone was weighing on my mind.  So I asked German Girl is she wanted to go since we would at least know each other.  I figured she would hem and haw about it, but she was like SURE. Okay then. Now I'm just wondering if she'll pull out at the last minute.
