Someone remind me not to make stupid bets when there's even a chance of losing.

Don't make stupid bets when there's even a chance of losing!

(...of course, if everyone followed that advice, life would be a lot less interesting, now wouldn't it? ;))

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. XD

(...Maybe.)

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

There's no bet that can't be won.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Likewise, there are rarely bets that can't be lost.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

Probablistics..!

[truant-horatio.livejournal.com]

It all works in logic somewhere.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

Not definitely...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, true.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

maybe.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

In other words, who knows.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

That's rather the point of bets, isn't it? XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Shhhhhh. XD

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

What did you lose?

[truant-horatio.livejournal.com]

Waen never eats her salad, and as the person who has to wash the dishes every night it was bothering me, so I bet her she wouldn't eat her salad. And she required something on my part, so I said I'd clean up after Maggie next time she had an accident, as Maggie is pretty well housebroken by now, and the expected occurred. XD

... *snickers*

[truant-horatio.livejournal.com]

...Not funny. XD

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I think it's funny. XD

[truant-horatio.livejournal.com]

You would.

...This is a little unprecedented, but I wish it was November.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I had my canine-care experiences this summer. XD

...So you could come visit me? :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right. XD

...Exactly!

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Yup. XD No sympathy.

...That's soon, you know! :D And, and, I was thinking, and if you wanted you could come Thursday afternoon, but you'd have to either hang out in my room for two hours or else come to class with me. but Friday would work just as well.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

;___; Fine.

...it iiis. --Ohhhh, that would be so awesome, and I would totally come to class with you, and that would WIN, but I'm driving down with Mum for her wound conference, and that has to be Friday. We will, however, be getting in around noon! So rilly early! (We'll also be leaving around noon on Sunday sfjsdkfjl.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

--You could have come to linguistics with me! We'll be doing pragmatics that week! but that works, too, and I am class-less on Friday, so I will be here whenever you get here. Where is her conference?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

--That would have /won/. ;_________; I wish I could. But eeeeeee, so eeeee. I have no idea where it is; only that she'll have a hotel in the city somewhere.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Well, you are not helpful. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

;_______________; Alas.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

You're as bad as my sister.

'I might be going to a conference near you!'
'Cool! Where?'
'...near you.'

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD I know Mum is going to drop me off somewhere near your building, and as far as I'm concerned that's all I need to know.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

All right. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That's okay, right? ^^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Yup. As long as you warn me you're coming and/or call me to come meet you.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

We'll prolly call when we get into Pittsburgh. It'll be like last time! XD Remember last time?

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Wasn't last time when you were late? XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Last time I just remember calling you and doing on-the-fly directions. XD

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Yes, there was that. XD It worked well enough.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It did...!

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

More importantly, I'd say, never make a bet for which you'd be unhappy to forfeit if you do lose. ^__^;;

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That's probably better.
