How did it go?

good luck anothercathy.

can anyone remind me what the prize is?

oz, I think the same thing about my cartoon and comic books. I could read them forever without getting bored. Please let me know if you manage to get a PhD from following the forum, so I it will give me hope.

lol H

that's a V day not to forget pea. / My bf took me out to a local restaurant we both like. It was a nice and quiet evening. But then, I don't know why I did such a stupid thing but I made a joke about a woman on another table who was staring at her menu in the same position with a very serious face, for over 20 minutes. And she heard me. She stared at me for the rest of the meal.

No, not really. I am more worried about the private letters and my credit file. It is a bit more understandable when it happens with PhD related correspondence.

DJ, that sounds lovely

Dear Professor Otto. I looked at that thread now, and I think you have point. But I normally stay away from online communities. Hmmmm.. on the other hand, the internet is full of my info. Seminars, talks, projects etc. It must be very easy for people to pick these. But surely they would know from those documents that I'm not a doc yet I'll read the rest of that thread.

wow Tricky, they must've sensed that you were going to do a PhD at some point in your life. Or did the nectar card effected your decision?

lol @ pea what a scenario

For some strange reason, I've been getting emails and letters addressed to me with the Dr title for the last 3 months. I've never used this title, I've never told anyone that I was a Dr, because I am not. The most strange one is the new credit card I applied arrived today with the Dr title too. I had called them and asked to correct this at the time of application when I noticed the mistake, but they didn't bother changing it. I checked my credit report with the reference agencies and there are searches with the added Dr title. What's going on? Did that happen to anyone else?

Sara, there is nothing wrong with being with a guy younger than you (my bf is 5 years younger than me for example and it's been working fine for the last 6 years), however goutsou goutsou doesn't sound like a sexual attraction sound effect to me. Are you sure you fancy this guy? Or could it just be a different sign of affection?

jojo, you might have heard of it already but just a suggestion for a book: it is from New Scientist and called "why don't penguins' feet freeze (and 114 other questions). I bought that for someone who doesn't read much and he finished it in 2 days

If you think he would prefer something a bit deeper than that but still easy to read, I can suggest The Schopenhauer Cure by Yalom.

Here are the links to the books, to save you time:
