Last Notes npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Or nothing, @graf npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett And dinner for G. I don't need a pic of that. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett /narrator voice/ The password is Fungible. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I gave you USD50 for flowers, bakaiyarol. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett And post a pic of the non-cut flowers, @graf npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett When our host disappears for hours, I'm hoping it's a Certain Someone and not lawyers on the phone. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Full disclosure to the Poast koinonia: I came up with the name Graf before I joined Poast. I'm not remotely clever. I'm gifted these characters and stories. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett How are things? Can I help? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett We all will want an invite to the wedding*. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Just so you know, Graf, I'm making an heroic effort to not say anything about you and Grippy's (Agrippina's) eggs. Nope. Not a word. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett "Wronged wife." In the Gallic Wars last failed rebellion of her cousin, Vercingetorix, after Alesia, some Gallic partisans murdered her. Strangled her with her own hair. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Morbid curiosity: did you ever tell her what I told you; what her given name means? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Nineteen more. One is a children's early reader once you breed her. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett https://www.amazon.ca/Irrational-Pai-Clayton-Barnett/dp/B0F6Y2G7CB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=235NZLD5MZG3I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qBgj9tQZ4_Ma3VPrc94z0A.rd1qZpqqeKw2LbP69AuvQAl9L05XFyubHrFcpgyyL_U&dib_tag=se&keywords=irrational+pai&qid=1753147903&sprefix=irrational+pai%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-1 npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Want me to gift her a copy of "Irrational Pai"? 190 pages of a protagonist named Graf. First book of four planned. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I work in a hospital and don't even talk to the staff. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Wear wool socks in the winter? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I pay attention to every medical thing you write. I hope Trevor does, as well. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Aren't wood floors cold up there, in winter? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Shouldn't you start DMing some of this? Yes, I post with my real name but am a very private person. YMMV, as the cool kids say. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Have to get ready to take one of our dogs for a checkup. I'm expecting @graf to beat Pai Mendro's record by the time I get back. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett "There are no such things as coincidences." ~ absolutely every character in my 20 books. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett So go get married today. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I'll be at a creative's con in Louisville, KY starting Thursday. Us Catholic Lemurs (the name of our writing group; don't ask) will be going to St. Martin of Tours on Sunday. I'll mention "Graf and Grippy." Fairly sure God will get the usernames. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett She's not a newly hatched dragon. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett A history of short courtships, three drawing upon my works. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Again, goes back to the original definition: "wronged wife." npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett My wife abandoned my cute-sie name a score years ago. There was one that fell away and one which stuck. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett My Hungarian wife says, "Cheese tray." npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett And capitalize Grippy (Agrippina), unless you've a compelling reason not to. Writers take words seriously. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Char...stop it with the made up words. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I said 2-3 weeks. Wait. I don't flunk my commitments. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett That's a rather broad, so to speak, brush. Northern, central, or southern? Much genetic variation. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I've one daughter about an hour away. The other is in Jordan. If they were hurt and someone stepped up to help, I'd have an almost feudal obligation of gratitude. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I grew up in the western US. 3 hours was a beer run. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett First date, I took my proto-girlfriend horseback riding then gave her a massage in her flat after. No, just a massage. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Never took my now-wife to a movie until we were a sure thing. You are essentially alone in a theater, not engaging with the other at all, just passively looking at a screen with your own thoughts. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Pleased you are not dead. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett My family has been cosplaying for over 15 years. Tremendous source of family unity. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett WTF guy has "body wash"? Soap has been around for 1000 years. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett You can pour temporary happiness, Graf. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett "Allow me to retort..." npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Going out on a biomechanical limb here - and Trevor is more than welcome to put me in my place - but how the absolute eff can someone with that kind of wrist damage give a shoulder rub? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Just like I said at the Frog Site: @graf meets CRAZY, Poa.st goes down. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Appears ablebodied; perfectly fuctioning web. Still begging for a handout. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett A pharmacist I work with says "only calories matter; food is food." This moron makes $100k and gives meds to people. The stupid, it burns. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett @graf Most images not loading. They'll get about 5% then give up. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett JFC. Pin that somewhere where we with bifocals and gin can see it. Money sent. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett @graf I am trying to send you money, one time payment, but being 58 am too retarded for the internet. I don't get the payment link; I don't want to subscribe to anything. Little help, here. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett I'd missed this reply. Answer is "yes," and her boyfriend is a 17yo farmer/fisher from former Wisconsin she literally fell on out of the sky. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Whoa... npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett My wife of 33 years is upstairs naked in bed and I'm drinking USD9.99 wine scrolling poa.st at 0224 while Pai is demanding in my head to write a story. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Too soon to make a kebab joke? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett If pandas cannot survive in the wild, fuck them. End this zoo-breeding shit. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett It's a running joke that while watching anime, my wife and I will joke about "dodgy camera angles..." npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett My wife is Hungarian. We use HOT from Szeged. In effing everything. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett We go thru that in a week. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Most Prods are "in the KJV..." and I tune them out. Lovely poetry but a shitty translation. When anyone of the Christian faith says, "in koine Greek, it was..." they have my full attention. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett What's odd is that I cannot yet imagine who did this. I've been there for 3 years, then away for 3, then back for 2 years. EVERYONE knows my very odd personality and beliefs. So, some new hire? Did I finally say something to piss off one of the older nurses there? npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett GM, frens. Was warned last night that I'm going to be fired next quarter as someone came across my [poa.st](http://poa.st ) and Gab accts and forwarded them to our HR. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett Not sure about black bear fat, but polar bear fat stores huge amounts of vit D. Early arctic explores were poisoned and died from eating it. npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett There are things which should not be in proximity in the "junk drawer." npub10dyk47thcns8jacrq8npx97q653lrq6uycf4ctfld8dg66rqtzlqtd60jf Clayton Barnett One of the main reasons I never make eye contact with pts in the hospital. Living dead.
