I agree for the most part. But often times one partner doesn't know they are doing a job "badly", or even that they have a job at all.
It's true that a good man will want to do everything he can to make a good woman happy. But some of us, unfortunately, have major blind spots in recognizing what women want. That's why it's important to maintain open communication along with dedication to one's "job" in the relationship.
>>>”interesting that you mention tuco bad. i recall him quite well. he wasn’t really a major player here . . . he was by no means in the same league as QUIDAM.
Well in the minor leagues here I often replied to his posts, trying to get him to be rational. In the 90’s I didn’t understand what a troll/provocateur was. Dealing with those trolls took up too much time, I soon found, and so I left FR for months at a time. Life intervened.
Quidam and A+bert were around, IIRC, during the impeachment era. By then I learned not to tango with the troll. I think they had a lot of fun provoking several here, including myself.
>>>What was your screen name [from WIATGIP?)
I’ve signed up under several, then leave for a while. But you can count me as a newbie. It makes me feel younger. How old are you? {;)
i lurked here for some time prior to signing up. i was provoked to post because of the Elian debacle, which i was very upset about.
I'm old enough, why, do you have the power to subtract a few years for me?
People that mention they are a long time poster on FR under a different name and don’t say what it is should just be silent.
Most likely they have something to hide.
By the way I’m talking about an unknown FR name, so I can’t ping it
:>)
>>>>I don’t understand, you brag that you were here before us but don’t want to say who you were - were you banned?
I wasn’t bragging about being here before you. You raised the issue by calling me an “arrogant newbie” when nothing I posted could be characterized as such, if you read my first reply to xsmommy. I pointed out my previous tenures to show you are both factually and logically wrong. And you have not retracted your characterization, which if fine. But now you want more information? Seems we have an impasse.
I ban myself every few months. Then I come back. Some of my friends here were banned (they claim for supporting Rudy), but they come back under new screen names. It’s part of the plan.
>>>I’m old enough, why, do you have the power to subtract a few years for me?
Well by calling me a newbie you made me feel younger, so I asked how old you are (with an emoticon).
Truce?
Awe, the great Rudi purge. That explains a lot.
Excellent post!
>>>”i lurked here for some time prior to signing up. i was provoked to post because of the Elian debacle, which i was very upset about.
I think that is pretty common, something like that puts lurkers over the top and then they become active posters. The problem is it gets addictive. My other top sites for news/views are michellemalkin.com and hotair.com.
If you have worthwhile/trusted sites, I’d welcome learning about them. TV is only for watching sports.
I survived the Rudy purge. I was a Fredhead. But I would vote for Rudy if it’s him vs. HRC.
What exactly was the Rudy purge in your view? I was not active here when it happened. A “Vet” told me it was JimRob gone overboard, but I missed the action.
I have just read the confession of a slut!
She claims she's celibate because she's not having sex with her husband...
Very true. We’ve been married for 18 years and our relationship will have a lasting impact on our 4 kids. I know I wanted to model my parents’ marriage and hope my kids want to model mine. Just like my husband didn’t want a marriage like his parents had. We were just talking about this last night with our teens about how sex is an important part of a marriage (they were asking questions, discussing their friends sex lives, relationships in general, sex in general, etc.).
No body is playing games. I don’t pay attention to every post. I do respond when a “poster” calls me arrogant when she is irrational, lacks a factual basis, and is emotionally responding on behalf of her personal friend.
Some of us have lives and do not hang on every event in a virtual forum.
I will consider your failure to retract your statement and your failure to support it factually a concession on your part.
My subsequent attempt to discuss matters politely being rebuffed, I will not consider your posts further.
I love you too!
Get a room!
;-)
We don’t need a room, GB.
It is much like the article that started this thread.
WIATGIP needs to go back to Texas and learn not to confuse logical and civil discussion with “arrogance” and to respect other’s opinions. Otherwise, she is like the subject of the article and doesn’t belong on a forum like this.
Hide the ashtrays.
I've changed my mind though, you aren't arrogant, you're just sad. Maybe we'll be friends under your next name.
Calling someone “arrogant” and having absolutely no factual basis for it is funny to you?
You ARE like the woman in the article.
Friends next time? No thanks. Once bitten twice shy.
Stay away from lamps and ashtrays.
