I'm just tired and stressed out. Next week should be better!

Sit down and let me get you a cold one!

[najida]

I don't know sweetie.

Some folks have high control needs. Some folks are insecure. Some folks are 3 degrees of wackaloon.

Yeah, in my perfect world, they would like just fine as I am, not try to change me and leave me alone when I need it.

Oh yeah, and be nice to look at while reaching into the top kitchen cabinets :)

[Fierce Allegiance]

Love the tagline!

[Dashing Dasher]

Love the tagline!

DITTO!!!

...dd...

[najida]

It's true!
Sadly ;)

[Fierce Allegiance]

I KNOW you need the upper hand in a relationship.

[Dashing Dasher]

I know nothing about this....



;-)

[Fierce Allegiance]

Uhhhhm, yeah....ok.

I'm a tennies or riding boots kind of gal I guess.

I wear those, too. But my tennis shoes look really crappy when I wear a flippy dress to go dancing!

and even in my cowboy boots I am taller than hubby!

[najida]

Cute shoes!?!

Someone talking about cute shoes?!?

Women control us.

They can catapult us into instant, spontaneous lust, and, at the same time, into a knee-buckling fear of rejection. The very thought of a ripe, firm body can tyrannize our thoughts, leaving us sweaty and panting and out of control. And the dangling promise of sex can have us jumping through every female hoop imaginable.

Not a good situation. As men, we need to learn to turn the tables on this kind of female domination; to regain the upper hand in our interaction with the opposite sex. So how do we do this? Here are a few ways to put you back in the driver's seat in your dating life.

Henpecked men simply amuse me. I'm cracking up, here!

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

[RockinRight]

I didn't *quite* mean it like that either...it looked bad in print!

[RockinRight]

You sound busier than a one-armed paper hanger with the hives.

Sounds like a Larry-The-Cable-Guy-ism.

[teenyelliott]

Shoot, I'm always smiling. After I'm done growling.

Actually, despite the current stress level, I am one of the luckiest women on the planet.

I have healthy beautiful children, really loving wonderful pets, and a husband who not only adores me, but is a die-hard conservative who has worked his ass off so that I can stay home with the kids and we can afford to buy the house of our dreams.

I got no complaints. ; )

[teenyelliott]

During the crappy hell that was my twenties, I adopted a mantra.

In ten years, none of this will STILL be happening.

It really has served me well, and has helped me put the minor daily traumas of life into perspective.

[teenyelliott]

Those are cute. Then again, I am a shoe whore, and just about all shoes appeal to me.

[Maximus of Texas]

"I am a shoe whore"

Give me a another beer and I'll think of a good comeback to this.

[teenyelliott]

You, a good comeback?

[Maximus of Texas]

Hey, I just bowled a 102 so don't go messing with me, lady.

[teenyelliott]

Wow. You are about as good a bowler as I am.
