Short answer: NO.
Hahaha, Take it easy there, Bruno. If my post wasn't easily recognizable as being a tongue in cheek joke, then humor has apprently become as much of a lost art as straight razor shaving.
Can a mod please move this to the "Really? Are you kidding me?" forum?
Studies have shown that if you attempt humor without aides like emoticons (they're there for a reason) you have a 50% chance of being misunderstood. You meant tongue in cheek, but I only see the words.
Additionally, I have a high fever, clogged up nose, back aches and the feeling that someone is turning my brain into snot with a blender. Not really tuned in for attempted humor.
Ohhh, dude, I hadn't seen THIS post!Quote:

True confession: I was in a lesbian lifestyle for about 15 years before the Lord changed my heart and took away all desire for other women (but that's another story.) The relevant part is this: I lived with a depressed woman for 7 year.
They were the 7 longest, most awful years of my life. I will NEVER, EVER "go there" with a depressed person again.
Sorry, depressed folks, but I paid my compassion "gold star" dues. No more!
Get out of it, since she is refusing help. And you have my deepest sympathy. I hope you at least got a good laugh out of my comments, but seriously...I been there. It ain't fun. I'll pray for you and for her.
Huh? How comes I needs all the help I can get? I really think I'm doing just fine...and honestly, I'm having a blast--the vast majority of guys here are GREAT! :DQuote:

Handbags at dawn, hmm? That reminds me of one of my Ambien episodes about a year-and-a-half ago...I'd had a snootful the night before (about 4 ales), then made the mistake of taking Ambien CR to go to sleep. :gaah:
Next morning I'm out at the crack of dawn in my nightgown, slippers, and robe, toting my Bushmaster AR-15 loaded with a 30-round mag in a tactical sling, patrolling the perimeter around our home using my EOTech sight because I *thought* I heard a noise outside. (Meanwhile, hubby is still asleep, oblivious...) :medvl:
(I should mention that we live way out in the country, at the dead-end of a private gravel road, and our nearest neighbors are 1/2 mile away...so the only living creatures amused by this were some deer, raccoons, squirrels, wild turkeys, snakes and probably a few of our cats.)
Moral of the story: never, ever, ever make strange noises anywhere NEAR Tam's property! (We own 16 acres.) :rock:
ON THE CHOCOLATE, ETC:
That's a great idea to keep some on hand. Seriously! If you want to have yourself a little "insurance" policy, I'd keep on hand:
1. A few dark chocolate bars (or whatever kind she really likes, I like white choc. myself.)
2. Some really touching Blue Mountain cards (i.e., like greeting cards)
3. Phone number of nearby flower shop OR a sharp knife if you live near where you can go cut a wildflower or two (they're FREE)
4. Anything else you know she loves.
5. Her favorite alcohol (for me, maybe Caymus Cab Sauvignon 2004...)
Then when you got trouble, you go to your insurance policy stuff! Yes, I actually think this is a very good ideal.
I think the hormones thing is overblown. Hormones are not to blame for everything and every mood. More often, it's probably that her boss or a co-worker ticked her off at work...or maybe her Mom called and gave her grief. It happens (I know!)
At first I thought he was a non-native speaker of English...then once I figured out what he was saying I thought he was a p****. (derogatory term for female genitalia):rofl2:Quote:

Hmm...not so much agree. That one's a tough call. Think of all those "dumb blonde" and "redhead" jokes. Depends on where and what you read, but I'd say it's roughly 50/50. What I will say is that men jokes are more out in the open, whereas women jokes are not usually on prime time.Quote:
Us men have to put up with more insults than women.
As probably everyone on this forum already knows, I detest political correctness (PC) and refuse to bow to it.
Agree strongly. One of my pet peeves is these stupid sitcoms that routinely present the Dad as a bumbling, clueless idiot. Then Mom is always wise and shrewd...but of course it's the 8-year-old kid who REALLY knows it all (Simpsons, etc.)Quote:
When was the last time you watched through a commercial break on TV without there being at least one advert portraying a man as an idiot? Equality of the sexes is a great idea, I hope we men get it one day.
It started with "All in the Family," and I firmly believe it's part of a calculated marketing plan to destroy the family in America. And sadly, it is largely succeeding.
There are, of course, exceptions...Bill Cosby was a wonderful wise Dad in "The Cosby Show", and there are a few others..."The Unit" comes to mind. Of course, this brings up another problem..."Dad" is only allowed to be smart and wise if he is non-white.
Partly true, as both genders can get violent and destroy stuff.Quote:

Bear in mind I'm generalizing, of course, and there are always plenty of exceptions. (One of the reasons I recently went on "emergency mini-vacation" to South Padre Island, coming back yesterday, was because I was stressed to the point that I lost my temper at husband Scott 3 times in one week...after not having lost it at him for 4 years.
What was really bad was that the very last time I lost it, not only did I yell and cuss him, I came very close to physically shoving him out of my way. In fairness to me, he was dawdling when I asked him to go get me something out of the barn and asking me all about "how come" and "why" when I needed it right away, so I got impatient.)
We have a lot of "role reversal" in our marriage. He is 6 feet tall, weighs about 115 lbs, but is strong for a very skinny man.
I am 5'2", weigh an extremely muscular 175 lbs, have 16.5" biceps, can do 15 full push-ups at age 50, and am generally considered by those who know me to be a real badass. Thus, I have to watch myself with my temper since I could do some real damage...and I don't want trouble.
I'm much calmer now! :)
[It started with "All in the Family," and I firmly believe it's part of a calculated marketing plan to destroy the family in America. And sadly, it is largely succeeding.]
I'll 100% agree with that.
And I thought I was the only one who thought like this! I am glad I am not alone!!Quote:

OTOH, the "minivan women" can always find a guy and get married at 21...or 18...or even earlier.
AMEN! I just looooved the way my gynecologist glanced down at my chart and then peered over his glasses at me and said, "Well, given your AGE, of course we have to assume you're probably already in peri-menopause (the first step.)" I wanted to pop his smart-mouth ass so bad...!!!Quote:

Yeah, I got that! Bless you, Mark. (I probably should've used the emoticons, like Bruno suggested.) :gl:Quote:

Sure, you can bust a username with high-tech software...but a casual user like mom, kid, spouse, etc., probably won't know how to do that. And as for me...well, now that I've reached the ripe old age of 50, I just really don't give a good damn what anyone things (not that I ever really did.) :D
My wife is crazy...
about me :D
[Edit: I asked my wife, "Are all women crazy?" She replied, "No, not all! That's a silly question, are all men crazy?" haha. I think she has a good point~]

Some like me believe in both. But I dislike the establishment and bureaucracy built around both. This means both sides generally dislike me. :)Quote:

Thanks. It sounds yummy, but I found over the years that alcohol in any way only makes things worse.Quote:

But all in all, I'm better than yesterday.
The privacy protection only works against other members. I don't know about him, but my wife knows my SRP username. Not just because it is my first name :) but because occasionally I let her read something if it is funny, or if I show her pics of a razor which I think she'll like.Quote:
