GorillaTheater Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 He shifts so smoothly without stressing the tranny or clutch. No juvenile bang it into second gear at 6000 rpm for him!

HsMomma Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 But good women will associate with other good women and not think about the bad one. Anyways thanks. I'd ask you more but I don't think private messages work for me.[/QUOTE] I don't think you've been on here long enough or have enough posts to get PM privileges yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I just said the insults were somewhat insenstive. That's it. I never even used the word mean.lol. Forget about it. let's move on. You seem like one of the exceptions anyways so I never insulted you. No, you said I was insensitive. But that's ok. I can let it go. And thanks for saying I'm an exception but I dont' think I really am. There are a lot of good women out there. But yeah, there are some bad ones. Just don't fool yourself into thinking they're ALL bad, ok? It's easy to fall into that kind of thinking. We've all done it. But it's not the case. (Yeah, don't you hate it when people just join with a username called: newtoloveshac and start making wrong assumptions of memebers that have been here forever, as if they know what they are talking about) Yes, I do. I agree. Yes good men are exceptions. I never said they weren't. Not ever men is great. I just feel like there are more exceptions to the rule in the male gender. I don't think so. Fathers usually grill their daughter's dates to ensure he is of proper caliber. Women usually don't seem to. Although the MIL horror stories are scary. I don't get your obsession with this. I'm protective of my son. That's just a stereotype. I've already told you that I confronted one of our son's little girlfriends and told her to stop calling/texting him. She was a little slut. That's sad to say about a 13 year old but I'm sorry she was and I didn't want her ilk around my son. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 maybe i'll post some positive threads. Maybe you should. THIS ONE is SUPPOSED to be one where we post positive things about our SOs. Why don't you let us stay on topic? Pretty please? Link to post Share on other sites
HsMomma Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 How many posts are needed? I'll ask you more when I get those privileges. maybe i'll post some positive threads.[/QUOTE] I'd love to see them/respond to them, NTLS! Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ok, TBF, back to the topic: I love that my husband, when I did something REALLY stupid Saturday night & when out with the girls to a neighborhood pub, drank 4 beers on an empty stomach & ended up arfing everything I drank, DIDN'T give me crap when I called asked him to come get me. I sure wasn't going to try to drive (just because I was irresponsible & drank without eating, I sure wasn't going to jeopardize someone else's life). He came, picked me up, took me home, put me to bed & just grinned wickedly at me Sunday morning when I told him how stupid I felt. Now, THAT'S my man!Well I'm glad that you called your SO, instead of driving. That he handled it in stride, is more than cool! Oh yeah, Something Wonderful About My Partner: she can drive a manual. And put a shim on a battery post all by herself. How do you shim a battery post? I've shimmed a battery where it wasn't the perfect height (my fault for ordering the imperfect model number), since the connectors were too inflexible to bend down to the posts. Perhaps this is what you meant? Regardlesss, high fives to another woman who's willing to get her hands dirty in the engine bay! Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I love that my man handles all my car maintenance. (I'm a bad, bad, selfish woman!) Link to post Share on other sites
AlektraClementine Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm a mother. I once had to stand up for my son (he's only 6) against a bully. A girl bully He came home telling me stories about this little girl who bullied the whole class. I went in the next day to drop him at pre-school and got a look at the not-so-little girl. She looked like one of the Odoyles. "Odoyle Rules!" So I decided to speak to the mother about this. One morning the next week, my boy says "mommy, look. it's her!". I pull up behind this enormous Yukon and wait. The woman that got out was about 3 times my size! I walked over to her, knees shaking, and let her have a piece of my mind. Told her that she ought to get a handle on her kid being a little punk to the other children and disrupting their learning. She didn't give a rats a**. Go figure. Also - I have two younger brothers who are 20 and 21. I am constantly checking in on them. Making sure they're making it to job interviews, inquiring about their lives and advising them on how to dump the skanks they date. Let me in front of one of those girls just once!! haha. Also told my fiance that a ring was unnecessary for me. I only cared about marrying him. He got me one anyway and SG, let me tell you....it is so much fun to look at! Good luck and I hope you get one too!!! That's one innanimate object that I love very deeply Link to post Share on other sites
AlektraClementine Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Also, my fiance and I spent about an hour in traffic today teasing one another. We decided to both poke eachother in the leg incessantly until someone called "uncle". He teases me all the time. About my disorganization, my neurosis, name it. It's all fair and done with a lightheartedness. One of those things that makes me cackle. Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Haha! Loved your post Alektra. That line about loving the inanimate object (the ring) was hilarious! Just wanted to say that I've also supported my stepson when his heart got broken by his first love. For whatever reason I was the one he was able to open up to about it. He wouldn't really talk to his mom or dad about it. Oh and Alktra, Mr. T teases me about my disorganizaton too! He's just the opposite of me. Super organized. But I get the job done. Just in my own way. Link to post Share on other sites

Touche Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You are now go change a timing belt or two! What the hell is a timing belt? Does it have to do with the seatbelt and when that locks into place or something? No clue. Oh, I know I'll love it very deeply too! I'll be passionate about it. It might even turn into a pet... perhaps I should name it? You think it will bring out your kindness? I'd name it Rocky. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll even admit that it's funny we call it that. Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't, you're going to get yourself into hot water and you also hold grudges, I noticed. Link to post Share on other sites
AlektraClementine Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Though I must say, I sometimes think he loves the ring more than I do. Maybe it's a "protecting his investment" thing. He sure does stare at it a lot and inquire as to it's health. I think I'll call mine Raquel. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 OH , but I'm liking your bad side (sorry, SG!) It's good. Didn't know you had it in you. Yeah, I could unleash if I really wanted to. I know that since I feel bad when others tease me though, I don't usually do it too much. I don't want them to feel the same way. Link to post Share on other sites

Well we don't want to mix the two up. Besides his name is "Gary Poppins" because of his "lets tidy up" comments. I counted how many times he said "lets tidy up" yesterday. 11 times!!!

I don't want them to feel the same way. I think the difference is in the intent, LB - if someone is being MEAN instead of just teasing out of humor, that's where it becomes painful. Most of the people on here just have good senses of humor & that's the light in which they tease. Link to post Share on other sites
