stereotypical gender stuff drives me crazy and makes me hate my co-genderists. i am not wild about women in general. i like my friends, but there are plenty o women i can’t abide.

Yes, I hear you guys are generally BOUND to a tight knit community...

Did you see the Oprah went to Mike Fisher & Carrie Underwood’s house for an interview? His tweet said she was very nice. He’s well-mannered.

Now I’m steamed about it-it makes us all sound dumb and simpering and helpless. Hell, I took out the garbage most of the time, even when MrT5 was alive, my favorite stuff to watch on TV is Deadliest Catch, Full Metal Jousting and such, not Lifetime or Oprah, and I do construction for a living-does that make me less of a female?

Are there really still men who think all women are like that? There are plenty of weak sisters to provide a bad example, but what an insult. Maybe that is why I’m not as hot to find another guy as I should be-apparently the ones like yours and the one I had are few and far between...

[Texan5]

Not crazy about women in general, either-I have some like-thinking female friends, but most of my close friends are male and straight.

so the skankwhore homewrecking Leann canceled the show! We pulled up to the Howard Theater which was quiet with not a soul in front of it, and no pic of leann on the marquee. i hopped out and went into the box ofc to ask, and he said, she canceled last night! and that our tix would be honored at a rescheduled show or he could get his $ back from Ticketmaster. So best of all worlds, i didn’t have to sit through the show and get in late, and we went out to dinner downtown. We went to a nice restaurant near the Verizon Center and afterwards i went to the Red Velvet Cupcakery, which we would always pass en route to games and i never had time to stop, and i got cupcakes for the kids and we went to the Tangy Sweet fro-yo place too and that was GOOOOOD. love me some froyo!

"Thanks for the reference, Hobbes!"

[xsmommy]

i guess it is a testament to my heterosexuality that i fail to see anything remotely hot about that pic~!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

It’s sad - for a while there she was all that. Hell, she was a better looking woman when she wasn’t a woman yet, compared to now.

Something else to rile you. The bitterness of some men astounds me, that any freeper would be able to say that they have not walked a man in this guy's shoes, so can't say WHAT might have made him kill his wife and two daughters, shooting his beautiful child in the face with a shotgun is mindboggling. There is no excusing it, understanding or justifying it, no matter WHAT.

[hobbes1]

I’m glad they killed that animal, but reading the article...she chose THAT moment to break the news?

Tagic all around
