Rough week, huh?
I'll take that as a compliment!
My Beloved not only was the first part: extremely meticulous about her person, her children and house vain and beautiful but she was far more handy than I and could handle any tool with precision. I only wish I could have spent more on her maintenance.
However she failed in making a silk purse outta this sow's ear though I wore what she commanded. Looking at our pictures they look like Ingrid Bergman with Oscar Madison.
just gradually slip into that high maintenance mode. Maybe hubby won't notice....
I can probably do more than more than any metrosexual:
I'm a good painter/scraper/edger (inside and ouside painting).
Spent my high school summers helping my dad putting up gutters, cleaning gutters in spring and fall, build retaining walls (that was hell), tuc-point (sp?) chimmenys, tearing off roofs...I did all. I had the best boss and was making a lot more money than my girlfirends who were hostessing after school :)
Put me on any two-story house, with gloves and tennis shoes, I'll get dirty cleaning gutters and still shine up like a new penny.
Phewy on askmen.com.
This woman is not into the high-maintenance fluff things.
I have more guns (5) than pairs of shoes (4).
"Are High Maintenance Women Worth It?"
No.
Let's hope so!
Ouch! ;o)
I guess I'll refrain from giving YOU a snarky reply. ;o)
Huh? That's no big deal. They don't need help to plump.
Reminds me of the commercial during the Olympics a few years back. Creasy-Joyner (sp) was running along a beach....You could hear her voice saying...I can run faster than all but X number of men in the world....Jump higher than Y number...etc etc........(pause) "and I have red toe nails"...Little sign for AVON appeared!
Have kept my toenails red since then......as a tribute to her and a reminder that one doesn't have to lose their feminity even it they tackle unfamiliar jobs.
This is the same website that referred to us as "Little Stalins".
Absolutely yes. As the article points out, they tend to be feminine and hold themselves to high standards. Low maintenance women these days tend to be earthy, tomboy types...OK, if that's your thing. It sure ain't mine... ;)
By the standards of today, every single woman alive in the 40's and 50's would be considered "high maintenance".
I think its a bunch of 20 something, liberal idiots. But it can be quite entertaining. Sorry, I'll find a better post fer ya! ;o)
Amen sister!
:)
And yes, I remember that commercial fondly.
And I agree with you, just because a woman looks good doesn't mean she doesn't want to camp, can't handle a hammer or doesn't know that a "bullet" is really a cartridge
Mr. Jeeves, always a proper response in a sea of juvenile delinquency! Let your hair down, will ya!
