Jmm | Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 08:55 am     Just thought I drop by and leave this for the guys.

Bryan | Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 09:12 am     That was very thoughtful Jmm. It does tend to get someone's attention and a toy like that would put guys in a festive mood. It helps to keep in touch with the shallow side of our personalities. |
Halfunit | Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 09:22 am     Nice boughs there, Holly! Ooh la la la la - la la la la |
Pamy | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 12:49 pm     Here's something I am sure all you guys can relate to....... Driving to the office this morning on the 605, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new BMW doing 85 MPH per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple of seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup!!! It scared me (I'm a man) so much, I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my mobile phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, splashed and burned Big Jim and the Twins, ruined the damn phone and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!!!!!!! WOMEN DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Fanny | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 01:26 pm     Pamy I'm so sorry for your Big Jim and the Twins. All this time I thought you were a girl! Hope your parts recover quickly. |
Pamy | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 03:16 pm     LOL Fanny! I don't have protruding parts!, I am a girl!!! I probably should have left more space between the line I wrote above the actual story!!! |

Halfunit | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 05:41 pm     <Estrogen Invasion> Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's a woman's job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with. <Carry On> |
Weinermr | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 10:01 pm     Nice |
Halfunit | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 11:12 pm     Weiner coconut - are you displeased? |
Suitsmefine | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 11:23 pm     Halfunit.....I am ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! Well said! |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 04:25 am     So I've just realized I have a long way to go to remind myself of the different perspectives from which men and women operate. MM decided to tear out his living room fireplace next door so he could hang a 50 inch plasma screen in its place. I protested loudly, because I love fireplaces and have to have them. MM doesn't like fireplaces or building fires, but decided to honor my preference. Unfortunately, said honorific comes with a price. I realized the other nite that MM had shored up his andiron rack with chicken wire (to prevent the coals from spilling too rapidly). I asked him where he'd gotten the chicken wire: he said he'd taken it off my tree. "My tree" is a sycamore directly in my living room view out to the reservoir, in which a beaver had taken a special interest. It had been chicken-wired around the base to prevent further damage. Marriage Material decided on his own to let the beaver take it down. Oh, hell no. Fight. So, I'm in the kitchen of MM's condo the other nite, and ask him to build a fire in the fireplace. I hear some generalized cussing coming from around the corner, then witness MM stalking off into the garage, coming back with something in his hand, and stopping by the kitchen long enough to disable the smoke detector. About 10 seconds later, I hear a "whoosh" and see a brilliant flash of red light up the back wall of the living room. He'd doused the wax firelog with lighter fluid because it wasn't lighting fast enough for him. Thank god it wasn't gasoline, I guess. I've been laughing myself sick about it since, and now MM is worried he's never going to get away with anything again because I'll be asking what he's doing any time he's quiet for more than 5 minutes. He is correct. |
Bryan | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 05:12 am     <rolling my eyes> You do have a long way to go Goddess if you want to steer this poor guy in the right direction. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 05:23 am     Crap, man, I have to wonder what he'd do to get hickory to burn in the fireplace. I hope I'm in another state when he tries. |
Bryan | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:13 am     If he was smart, he would save the hickory for smoking in a barbecue pit. I take it that you start your own fire in your own fireplace in your own home. I assume that you are skilled in this and need no assistance. If MM has not been turned on to the benefits of a warm snuggly fire how can you fault the poor guy for never learning to start a fire. Replacing a useless fireplace with a nice plasma screen makes perfect sense to him. Why not you start a fire so he can learn from watching you. You might even treat him to something special that would make him beg to do this fireplace thing again. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:18 am     Real men know how to build real fires. But yes, that's why I was laughing so hard - I figured the guy was cussing and disabled the smoke alarm because he'd failed to open the flue. Not because he didn't know how to build a fire. Believe me, he is already among the newly and enthusiastically converted on the benefits of using that fireplace as a romatic tool. PS we compromised - he will be hanging the plasma screen OVER the fireplace mantle instead of art work. I hate relationships. LOL - thanks Bryan. |
Squaredsc | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:25 am     wow a plasma screen and a fireplace. gal, you lucky dog. just make sure the, omg i can't think of the word, i am having a serious crs moment. the thing in the red cannister you spray to put out a fire? sh*t i need to go home. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:29 am     Spiked eggnogg much? |
Draheid | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:31 am     Yikes!!!!!, GAL, that scares me in a couple of ways ways. 1) Plasma screen directly above a heat source?? Care to see the wicked witch truly melting?? 2) Detracting from the beauty that is a fireplace with a nice mantle & appropriate decorum upon and above the mantle. Edit to avoid misconstrued implication: I was referring to The Wizard of Oz and nothing personal!!!  |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:32 am     LOL - I'm with you on it, Dra. Tell it to MM. |
Bryan | Monday, December 23, 2002 - 06:32 am     I am glad you have been using your romantic tools Goddess. Most men always prefer treats to the wet newspaper on the nose while being taught the rules of the house. Compromising is good. Just make sure he doesn't think he plea bargained and you think it was a compromise. |
