Right. I realise not all of you come from climates or time periods where you'd be aware of sun damage, but I'm getting way too many burns in the clinic turning out to be the simple result of overzealous beach time.

Lets learn how to be sun smart.

We all know what the sun is. Big yellow ball in the sky, makes things bright and warm during the ( Read more... )

i always glow, tl;dr, in practice, wilson, saves me work in the long run, sun smart, trust me i'm a doctor, internal affairs, nothing serious, microwave pizza, illustrated lecture, clinic duty, melanoma, doctoring, where's wilson, our lack of a relationship

I've been in America most of my life.

If you expect nothing then nothing should be expected of you. Otherwise, the relationship isn't so casual at all.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 02:20:34 UTC

Still makes you an observer, but good enough.

Everybody has expectations. I'm just trying to establish the median.

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 02:26:23 UTC

Do you consider mutual non-commitment an expectation?

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 02:30:34 UTC

It's obviously an expectation, but there are degrees to it. Never talking about it again non-commitment. Leaving before or after breakfast non-commitment. Exclusive non-commitment.

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 02:37:35 UTC

Boundaries are laid down when you fear you're incapable of holding up your end of the deal. In that case you're only dedicated to non-commitment as long as you can keep the risk of committing at bay.

Anyone truly dedicated fears nothing.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 02:45:04 UTC

Dedicated to non-commitment. Sounds like a classic contradiction in terms.

Germany, before America?

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 02:52:05 UTC

You should try it sometimes if you have a problem maintaining 'casual' relationships.

Yes, briefly.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 03:01:47 UTC

I don't have a problem.

Briefly? No nostalgia for the mother country?

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 03:11:30 UTC

Your curiosity says otherwise.

It was during the war. I was born. Then we left.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 03:17:46 UTC

No, my curiosity says I have an interest.

My parents had a similar idea. They left. Then I was born. Turned out the war never came. Different country of course.

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 03:26:27 UTC

Are you interested in pursuing or are you the pursuit?

You went farther than I did. I went to New York.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 03:30:16 UTC

Neither, anymore. Think I got caught.

Actually, I went to New Jersey.

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 03:41:38 UTC

And you're still curious?

You've been in New Jersey for less than a third of your life, that or your New Jersey is vastly different from mine and that's entirely possible.

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 03:48:48 UTC

I'm curious about what other people expect from the general arrangement.

I've been in Jersey for roughly a tenth of my life. The accent's one of the things I'm not intending on picking up.

FILTERED caughtthebullet August 8 2009, 03:55:54 UTC

So you'll learn what other people might expect from you.

Do you like it there?

FILTERED worksmart August 8 2009, 04:05:46 UTC

Can't hurt to canvass opinions.

I like it enough. It's not home, which is good. And strange. You're always an observer.
