Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 While I don't care who or what you love, the funny part isn't the person/object itself but the comparison of passion and kindness as character traits. Come on, laugh a little! Don't be telling me what you do with your strappy sandals with all that passion! Well I love my strappy sandals. They comfort me in social settings and give me confidence. My favorite are my red ones. They show my passionate and adventurous side. They say a lot about me actually. And they show I'm kind because if I weren't I'd wear ugly Birkenstocks for the world to see. No one has to turn away when they see my pretty shoes. Link to post Share on other sites
HsMomma Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 How about we drop it? I already put the thread back on topic. Ok, LB, I'll be a big girl & move on with you... I liked what you said about your fiance - it was very sweet. I hope you two will be very happy as a married couple. HsMomma (playing nice with others:D) Link to post Share on other sites

We have actually had a good time planning the wedding too, we have agreed on mostly everything. I think he was afraid I'd be a bridezilla but so far I haven't! Thankfully we have the same vision for a wedding. Link to post Share on other sites

Trialbyfire Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 To be fair to LB, she's got a sweetness about her, far more of a frou-frou person, than I and some other members are. That's not a bad thing. She's just easy to tease. LB, love who and what you want and for that matter, I do wish you the best of happiness, with your man. Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well I have never heard of a man who was talking about the golf clubs to tv he received as an management present. But women do get $14,000 rings in addition to having the men initiate everything. What about the women who are getting free labor from men? Do women do jobs around men's houses that save men $70-80 an hour? Why haven't more men posted? You're a hoot. I already said I'm unpaid labor here. I do all the housework, cooking, grocery shopping AND help run my H's office. I don't get paid. You're laughable. If my H had to hire someone to do all that I do, it would cost him big time.

She's easy to tease because she can't really laugh at herself as she claims. You need to lighten up, LB. We're all teased about smething on here. I'm teased all the time (partying in the RV, drinking boxed wine..and no, I don't drink boxed wine...my 1980's bikini, etc. etc.) And that stuff I mentioned is just things SG has teased me about! I get others teasing me about other stuff too. But I don't get all huffy about it. Some of it genuinely makes me laugh. So yeah, learn to laugh at yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

Around MEN's houses? Certainly you mean round the family's home, right? But yes, they most certainly do! A full-time stay-at-home mom would earn $134,121 if only she were paid for her work. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/12/opinion/main1616324.shtml Link to post Share on other sites

So yeah, learn to laugh at yourself.There's a level of tolerance, which most people have. If someone feels that the teasing has malice embedded, they're less likely to see it as a source of humour. If it's from someone who they feel has no malice, then yes, I agree that it's a good thing to be able to laugh at self. Having said that, I think we all should try to treat others with a level of respect. I'm including myself, since sometimes, my black humour gets the best of me and I unintentionally hurt others.

clv0116 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Her father has a few anger issues, but despite that she respects him and treats him with deference because, as she simply says "I must bow to him, he is my father." This degree of respect and love for family is something I can only admire. Link to post Share on other sites

I know I've teased you before (about seeing your ring across a room, etc.) but come on, LB! It's true that in order to have a good marriage you must develop the ability to laugh at things and that includes laughing at ourselves. Do you get mad at your mom when she teases you about the bear?

Star Gazer Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Something else I love about my BF: He calls when he takes off and lands on business trips. I never have to worry about whether he's gotten there safely, he's already let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Do you get mad at your mom when she teases you about the bear? Well she knows not to do it a lot and to do it very gently because I don't like it, so she doesn't do it that often. A lot of hurt in high school has just made me so sensitive. When I was a junior in high school a really popular boy wrote me a note asking me to go to the homecoming dance with him. It turns out that him and two of his other friends got together and decided to write the note to me as a cruel joke. (kind of like the movie "Never Been Kissed" if you've seen it). Everyone made fun of me for the whole year for believing it. Link to post Share on other sites
