Summertime heat and humidity does a number on my hair. Curls go limp or really curly. SIGH!! we are never happy are we?

[Autumnlyn]

Okay, I'm p!ssed. I've been working with my horse almost every day and now I have jacked up tan lines. My legs are brown, between where the shorts end and the sneakers start, my face and arms are tan except where the tank top covers and the rest is FISH BELLY WHITE!!! Arrrggghhhh!!! When I get naked for action with my hubby it looks like I am still wearing a pair of ankle socks and a white shorts set!!!!!! So not sexy!

I'm betting hubby isn't real concerned! lol Most of us hubby's are good with getting naked for action--tan lines or not!
Sounds like it's time for some very private tanning sessions!!!! lol

Girl, living in the South I feel your pain! Except mine go frizzy! I have to use gel in the summer or keep it back in a pony tail. It's so long, I usually go for the pony tail to keep cooler.

Okay, thats just messed up...

[arista]

True though...

[poisonbat]

Does it seem to any of you that you are the only ones who sees messes?? I live in a household where I am the only female. I have a husband and 2 adult sons who live with me, but it seems that only I see all the messes they leave behind. Why is it that I am the only one who cleans up these messes?? I did dishes twice yesterday and the sink is once again filled this morning. :down: They can all walk past the trash that so desperately needs to be taken out and not even think of taking it out? I worry about what is going to happen to my house when I go back to school full time and am not here to pick up after them continuously. I have tried talking to them about this and it works for a day or two, then it is back to business as usual. :bat:

[arista]

Batty-You have to take a serious look at the male brain. They see no messes..& if you are always cleaning up the messes..they don't concern themselves.

[Perse Jr.]

I can totally relate, but it's only my husband that slacks. Yesterday, he used the bathroom where one of my kids left her clothes right in the middle of the floor. I asked him why he didn't pick up the pile of clothes (the washing machine is in the same room!), and he said, "what clothes?" My response was "exactly." I think they have selective seeing (you know, like selective hearing?).

Do what my dad used to do....he literally put our dirty dishes in our beds when we were old enough to take care of our own dishes. I'll never forget getting into bed and putting my bare foot into an old bowl of green peppers and french dressing. Ick.

[smjohn]

Hi, everyone:) My sweetheart is currently in Texas for final training before being deployed to Iraq. Please pray for him and his unit for their safe return. I appreciate every prayer you can send our way.
Love, Susan

[Loopy]

Big respect for all the boys and girls deployed. I don't think about it often enough but, when I do, I send a little thought. I don't do prayers per se.
Come back safe!

[wisewitch]

Hmmm... Tough question... :eyebrow:
Well, I often pay his dues. :wink2: But that doesn't make him very happy... :glare:

Lots of prayers your way, Susan! My prayers for his safe return and for your comfort while he's gone.

[EMARX]

I sometimes wonder about the rest of my cortexes and if they're working properly.

[soundworker]

I am single about three years already and I really enjoy it. I am just too idealistic - dont want to be with someone just to have an relationship. I want the right guy. But the main thing is, that I am happy also with myself, so I suggest to love and respect yourself.

Susan,
Many prayers for your husband and his safety. Many prayers for you as you wait. Just know you are never alone!

[aneaglesangel]

Argh Batty! I feel your pain! My son never sees his messes either. They're mess-blind or something! He can walk in the door, drop his pants and shoes right inside the door and not even see it! As soon as he walks in, what, the mess is invisible? I'm glad it's just one now to make messes, but at least the oldest was a bit more cooperative about helping out. This one, argh! Always an argument to pick up his own stuff!

I did see a discovery channel or learning channel show a while back that was quite interesting. It was about the differences between the male and female brain. Once I almost had to run away from a group of irate men because I started telling my friend about it and a few men overheard me and were offended. What it spoke of in this show was that the female brain is wired differently from the male brain. It is because females of our species evolved as thinkers, teachers of children, home makers and such, and males were the fighters, bringers of food and sustenance. A female brain's two hemispheres can communicate back and forth with each other, whereas a man's brain cannot. It gives a female brain a higher capacity for such things as vocabulary, language and reasoning. We evolved differently because of our job in society as humans. Men don't like to hear it, but I think it makes us somewhat different. Like we see the messes, we communicate this. A man doesn't see it, or he does and doesn't find it that offensive. His two brain hemispheres don't connect so they don't see the bigger picture. The mop the bucket. Less imagination, less going on in there. I don't want to really put men down, I've known many very intelligent men, I work with many in the field of the paranormal. But I think the way our brains are wired makes us so different that there are things they just can't see. :)

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Absolutely true, aneagle, a woman has two more neural cortexes than a man and as you say, they're wired completely differently, the man's in a straight line and the women's complexly inter-connected.

I believe this is why the average woman uses twice the number of words per day than the average man.

She has to repeat everything twice so he understands it LOL

Long days and pleasant nights

[arista]

However, point to ponder. Men are supposed to be more visual than women. Men should then in theory, be able to see the messes? That is the theory...:laugh:.

[poisonbat]

Thank you all so much, I thought maybe I was the only one. Now I know I am not alone. I guess it all boils down to having to ask. GOD that is SOOOOO hard for me.:eek2: I will point out the messes to them and have them clean them up. About all I can do. I think God was right when he said "It is not good for a man to be alone" :laugh::bat:

Hi,

In a similar documentary they hypothesized that it was man's ability to think only in a straight line that explained the preponderance of male visual artists, composers etc.

It's difficult for a woman to wholly concentrate on painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or writing a symphony while she's wondering what to make for dinner, what the kids are up to etc.

[Leighjavu]

Susan,
Many prayers for your husband and his safety. Many prayers for you as you wait. Just know you are never alone!

I offer my heartfelt Thank you to your husband and his unit! For setting their lives aside to help make this world a better place. Wishing you courage while He's away to believe that He will be in the best of company on the tour to the "sand-box".

Hey PB A little story for ya

we switch up my daughters in cleaning uo the dinner table each night. my lil one is very smart as is the older one.. maybe Conniving is a better word?

so over the last year i noticed the little one stalling when cleaning up and my wife starting to do a lot more than she should. me not saying a word, watching so after 4 x or so --- i wait and pounce...
Dani u r purposely stalling so your mom cleans up! she smiles a mischevious smile and laffs--next day alone she tells me thanks for blowing my cover!! haahaha


sooo, point is I suggest talk to them about it nicely tell them to do it help out etc... than do not do it for them if they fail--- maybe put in their rooms but under no circumsatnces do it for them--- just smile and let it pile up or maybe their laundry slows down and u say oh i was going to do laundry but i had to clean so and so up so laundry has to wait
many ways to skin this one ;-)

LEt everyone know your results and g luck with the dental stuff!!!!

Ya know, if I did not take the dishes out of their rooms there would be none left in the cabinets. Last night when I was making dinner, I went to get a bowl and there were none there. I yelled for Jeramy and Jason and asked them where all of my bowls were. The immediately started pointing fingers at each other saying that the other was responsible. They came out with an arm load full of bowls, sat them in the sink and started to walk away. I told them HUH UH !! I am fixing dinner you two wash those bowls. The the battle began again over who would wash them. Point is, they don't clean their rooms much either. When I do tell them to or they get tired of living in filth the dishes just go in the sink. I need to force the step of washing them into their heads.:glare::bat: Oh and by the way, Jeramy is 20, and Jason is 18, it is not like they are children although it may sound that way. :laugh:

Ask them if they are going to be phoning you up to say, 'Mommy, I don't know how to do the dishes!' once they move out. And maybe point out that they won't get the best girlfriends (or boyfriends, who knows) if they don't have any domestic skills when they move out.

[rjt65]

Come to achmed PB!!!

so all good except might i suggest u do the following ... wash one bowl it is for your dinner.. sit down and eat it... when they ask hey what about us? u politely tell them there are no bowls if they wash them all they get dinner otherwise have a good nite---

action reaction no yelling needed... they will start getting trained!!! :laugh::laugh:

Ah so much good advise here. I tell ya, this weekend has been hard. I allowed my boys 3 friends for the weekend, ouch, I did not realize just how much having not just 3 men in my house but 6 would increase my work load so much. One of said friends went home yesterday, but there are still 2 extra until Tuesday when they go home too. I plan on having a long talk with my boys, all of them, when we are again alone. My dad is still here along with my husband, all men!!! :glare: I don't have anything against men, don't get me wrong, but damn they can destroy a house in just one feeding. :down: I need to make it clear to my sons that if they have friends over, THEY need to be responsible for their messes, not me. I guess I created these monsters, now I need to deal with them. Mom is going back to school and is not going to have the time to pick up after them. :eyebrow: :bat:

He didn't cross the line after that because She reminded him that he had to sleep sometime.

PREGNANCY Q & A & more!

A: Childbirth.

Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's
borderline irrational.
A: So what's your question?

[Charms7]

Those Q&As are hysterical, Pandora! Thanks!

[mudpuppy]

Thanks, Pandora! That is hilarious. I'm currently in week 14 of pregnancy and that post was right on time.

Quick pregnancy update for any that remember: since I'm 42 yrs old I was worried about all that could go wrong. Well, had some blood tests and a great ultra sound and now the odds of anything being wrong with the baby are the same as the odds of a 26 year old woman having a baby, which means that everything is looking darn good! This is a great weight off my shoulders, as you can probably tell from my return to the board. Woohoo!!!

Congrats Mudpuppy, so glad to hear all is well with you. You are a brave woman. I am 40 and could not imagine having a baby now. I love going to see my grand nephew and my little newborn baby cousin, but full time?? I just don't know that I have it in me:down: But I am very happy for you.:grinning:

I am so damn depressed that I don't know how I am going to go on right now. Being at war with my neighbors is taking it's toll on me. They treat us like we are nothing and feel entitled to stepping on our feelings. They have this "better than you" attitude and look down their noses at us because we are not as "well off" as they are. They have began throwing trash over the wall and calling us names like low class scum. I hate being disrespected and that is what is happening. I am past being angry and now am just flat out depressed.:down: :bat:

[Theregulator]

Sorry you are going through all that with your neighbours Poison bat. I have been there and it can feel like you have no way to turn. We had two men renting next to us who lived the party life style. The loud bass would usually start at 2.00am most weekends just when environmental health clocked off. Eventually they received a big fine but it all took time and some days I thought I would lose my mind. I often had to go work a 13 hour shift with 10 people with varying learning disabilities after having no sleep. Hopefully there is someone out there who can help you deal with this problem.

[mudpuppy]

poisonbat, I only just read your account of the neighbors behavior. I too hope this situation turns around. At times Sartre is right, and "hell is other people". I know where I live, my husband and I put an effort into making our lawn look lovely. We plant flowers, keep the lawn mowed. Our neighbors don't care about any of that. I've found burned up bent spoons thrown in my yard, and my niece stepped on a broken vodka bottle that someone chucked in the grass. On top of it all, they set off fireworks in the middle of the night. They pull up to the curb and beep the horn for a half hour instead of going to the door to pick one another up. Its never ending discourteousness. I just don't understand why I keep being surprised by it, but I am.

Your neighbors may be "better off" but that just goes to prove that money can't buy class.

[poisonbat]

My neighbor works for the city. They got away with it, I guess to the city they are above the law here. For everyone else, too bad follow the rules but for these people, the law does not apply. :glare: They would not even send an inspector out more less have them get a permit or have to build to code. The city told me that I would have to pay to have a survey crew come out and draw a property line and it would be a civil matter if I chose to do anything about it. Of course they did not have to pay a survey crew to build on my property. I just give up. I have no rights or power over them, but they do over me.:down::bat:

[mudpuppy]

Not true! They have no rights over you! Do you own your property? You SHOULD get the surveyor out there if they are possibly taking what is rightfully/lawfully yours. However, I do sympathize with not wanting to engage in a battle. I avoid conflict too, but I wouldn't let them take whats yours away from you! Man-oh-man, what a situation. I'm going to send your neighbors some wise-up vibes.

(((((vibes poinsonbat's neighbors to get a clue and do the tight thing)))))

[Spideyman]

Poisonbat- you pay taxes and part of that goes for your neighbors wages. How about finding an eager news reporter or Tv person who would like to do a human interest piece. Ordinary citizen verus the city worker. Where is your tax payers money going? Equality under the law.

AWSS, poisonbat. Great idea.

[Drawn to Ka-tet]

Once had a neighbor whose father was chief of police in a small New England town. He would regularly beat up his wife and make his kids cry. I knew there was nothing I could do about it. His father knew what his darling son was doing. Mostly I feared retribution from the father and the son, so I moved away. Luckily I was renting and had no lease.

Good luck, poisonbat.

Keep a cool head when he panics - someones got to!!

[Autumnlyn]

Poisonbat...
Try complaining to the City Planning Commission...or just go down to the office and pull their permit and check it out. Also, check with the Tax Collectors office and see the information on your particular parcel (report should be in your mortgage application) on it should be coordinates...use a GPS and check the coordinates.

As for the trash, throw it back over the fence. Hold your head high girl, money doesn't buy class.

[Perse Jr.]

Poisonbat...I'm so so sorry for what you're going through. Sounds like your loser neighbors need a nice 3:00am bedside visit by someone in a ski mask...

Contacting a local newspaper is a great idea...nothing speaks more loudly than a community, and I'm sure your community would stand behind you regardless of your neighbor's employment with the city.

I so wish I could do something to help you....some people are just creeps. What goes around comes around...

It feels so good to be a woman!!!! Strong, happy and life is beautiful ! Now where's the men?

[aahlyia72]

My husband is British and he drinks a lot of tea. I usually bring him an extra hot tea after dinner while we sit and chat or watch tv.
He appreciates it and always thanks me.
I also listen to him when he wants to talk about things about work that bother him. I know this sounds pretty lame, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to listen, but not really hear somebody.

[StoryTellerRose]

I had to leave early yesterday...good discussion regarding the adjustment..You just don't see women adjusting their boobs normally like that?

Firstly, Yes, yes I do adjust my girls. A lot. In public, even! They shift, they fall out of their corral, they get uncomfortable, so yeah, I adjust.

Secondly, with the guys' adjustment issues: Little Man gets sweaty and sticky and very uncomfortable, so a little adjusting is in order and, in my mind, completely understandable.

Thirdly, and in response to the original question of this thread. :biggrin2:

I love to try and do things for my man. I scared the snot out of him once though, because I went out and bought a silk flower for him, left it on the seat of his car while he was at school, and slapped a sticky note to the steering wheel. Well, when he got to the car, he didn't see the sticky note. Just the flower. He was SO freaked that someone had marked him for death or something!!! But once he figured out what had really happened, he was very pleased by it, and loves that I thought of him like that.
Also, I LOVE to take sexy pictures and surprise him with them. Just recently I put a ton of "nice" pics on a flashdrive for him, and he was So happy about it! he loves looking at my "special pics". :love:
Besides the more insane gestures, I try to just be there for him, listen to him when he's worried or frustrated about something, be there when he wants to cuddle...I try to never say "no" to him unless I'm truly exhausted. Even when I don't really want "certain things", I still love to help him out because I know how important it is for a man to know that his wife wants him. That she cares for him, no matter what. I try hard to be there for him always, because he's a wonderful husband and does so much for me.
He's a blessing. :Biggrin2:

[arista]

I thought this issue of adjusting lately...It sometimes has to be done with the undies. If they are not comfortable-why wear them uncomfortable. I am all too happy to go discretly somewhere and adjust them. I try to not do underwear adjusting in public.

[aahlyia72]

I try to make my boyfriend really smile at least once a day, can't really bitch about him cause he does nothing wrong..... which does annoy me sometimes

i have alot of things on my mind at the mo that i cant really talk to anyone about, my mother is really sick, she has emphysema and finds things really hard right now and theres nobody there to help her, its just her and my baby sister in her house and none of the rest of my family really cares how she is except me (long story), so im always fighting with guilt because i dont help or visit as much as i can, i hate my job but cant quit, also have to find somewhere new to live,

Sorry if im boring the readers of this but feel better now i've let some of it out

Well it looks like you have some really tough situations going on. it is good to get it out and to know that you are not alone. I know so many people who are going through some really tough times (family, job, marital). Feeling guilty make you human and it shows you have a conscience. Do what you can, it's all you can do.
But, there has to be something you can be happy about. Focus on those things.

Hey Charms7! That was a hoot! Information you need to have. I have a little anecdote I'd like to share. Women only:


My husband and I had been married maybe 6 months. I woke up to realize that my Aunt Flo had visited early and there was a mess-both me and the bedclothes. No way to get around it, my husband would have to be told something to get him up and out. I started to fidget and fuss with the sheets and he finally opened his eyes. He looked at me while I moved the sheets around and asks me, "What are you doing?" I said, "Looking for the horses head." He looked at me with a blank, puzzled look and then....he got the reference. He very carefully got out of bed, said "I'll see you in the kitchen," and closed the door. I was able to clean up the mess, take a shower etc. with out too much embarrasment.

[aahlyia72]

I did that "quick adjustment" once and my bra came unsnapped! Talk about your insecure feeling! Make way, people! I'm headed for the ladies room NOW!

LOL My bra has never done that to me. There isn't much to hold ,therefore, there is very little interference.

[arista]

I think that it is a conspiracy-I would like to walk into a store and know that the size I normally wear is that size. Now a days..you never know and I absolutely hate trying on clothes prior to buying them. I know that all the shows say that you have to try things on..I hate it.

I do so hate to have to try anything on. I think things are made now, with less material and yet they call it the same size. Have you ever looked to try to find things that are made here in the states? That is becoming nearly impossible.

Hi,

Yes, especially with children's sizes.

I think the size/age ratio is given for the smallest Chinese person that could be found, thereby saving on material and the same thing is becoming apparent in shoe sizes IMO.

Once I was going to work, and before leaving my house, while still inside the bathroom, I put a tampon in my pants pocket, so I wouldn't forget it. So, I totaly forgot it was there, took the subway, a bus, etc. . Then I arrived, sat down and after a while, I had to leave the chair for some reason I don't remember. When I got back, the tampon (remember?) was sitting on my chair. It fell out of my pocket and I did not see it. :oops:

Some summer time bathing suit tips-If your butt muscles have its own little way of saying good-bye-then maybe you need a bigger swimsuit. If you have farms (fat on your arms that jiggle) consider a bigger swimsuit. I say all these things to myself...as it is the season for swimwear and that it is also the season for people to put on their ray bans-because this body has not been tanning. Glo in the dark status..

I was up late last night watching TV when this ridiculous infomercial came on. It's called booty pop panties, it's like a padded bra for women to enhance their butt size.

What about muffin tops with a butt cleavage. What I don't understand is how women can walk around with their crack exposed and not feel it.

Here is preponderance...Why is it when you go to a public event, you always have to stand in line for the bathroom. Guys never seem to have this problem.

That's an easy one, Men do not need to remove their entire undergarments to use the facility like we do, nor is toilet paper a requirement for a simple in and out trip. I have explained that to my husband in answer to his question as to why the three of us (my daughters and I) take so long in the restroom on outings.

What 1 thing do you do special for your man ? Men think we have to do the ironing,clean for him and etc.. So here is the place to say what is on your mind and tell the men to do things for himself.

[Lily Sawyer]

What about muffin tops with a butt cleavage. What I don't understand is how women can walk around with their crack exposed and not feel it.

I'm not against form-fitting clothing, just ill-fitting clothing. I can't stand muffin tops, either, and it's astonishing to me how many women (young AND old) walk around with one. I look ridiculous in low-rise jeans or pants to begin with (it's a proportional thing with me), and I wouldn't be caught dead with a muffin top if I did. BUY THE SIZE THAT FITS, ladies! And if you don't look good in low-rise anything, skip them altogether and buy real jeans, not some screamin' queen's idea of what looks good on a woman.

I'm not a slave to fashion; fashion's a slave to me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I wouldn't but, there are some women that have the...moxie? personality? chutzpah? to do it. And following them are the men who are intrested in the woman who does it.

[aahlyia72]

Here is preponderance...Why is it when you go to a public event, you always have to stand in line for the bathroom. Guys never seem to have this problem.

Beacause: Men can just whip it out, tinkle, then tuck it back in all under 1 minute. I don't think men want to stand there exposed for too long.

Women on the other hand....We have to hang up our purses and coat, wad up a bunch of toilet paper and dry off the seat, then line the seat with paper, then we must partially undress, sit down, tinkle, then carefully fold or bunch up a wad of toilet paper, WIPE (do men even do this?), and then get redressed again, then pick up the toilet liner, flush the toilet, strap the purse back on, and hang our coat over an arm trying not to touch it. Then we go wash our hands ..........and some women may preen a bit, swipe some lip gloss on, then we are done! Tada!

Sandals and the piggies. It sounds like a bad movie. Just my opinion-I feel that if women or men are going to wear sandals..take a few minutes to examine your toes. If they have long nails that are need of trimming-Either trim the nails or don't wear the sandals.

I love sandals. I wear them pretty much year round and I'll even go out in up to two inches of snow in them without socks. I DO take good care of my feet, and try to always have the nail polish on my piggies looking great. I'm lucky enough that even though I have the health from hell, my feet look nice enough that total strangers will compliment me on my feet. (Kinda weird the first time, but after that... oh well... must be another foot fetishist.)

If my toes look nasty because I broke one or something, I wear closed shoes. No need to subject the world to ugly piggies when there are MORE than enough people who already do that and gross us all out...

Hi Arista! Well, I have to say that first off, from what I have seen I can only THANK women who wear a bra with a tank top or any top. A great woman once said, " If your girls are no longer saluting the sun...." BRA- SUPPORT BRA!
I don't know if the bra strap showing is a fashion statement that needs grammatical corrections.

Don't forget how great a little red bra strap looks with a black tank as well. I'm also of the mindset that it's best to wear one rather than to have to tie the girls in a knot to keep them under control. It's just a bra strap.

Girls, I know most (or at least a great part) of you are mothers, so I ask: What are the symptoms? I'm 1 week (well, 5 days) late, and I've been dizzy, can't stand my favorite perfume and have a craving for soup... Oo

[Agincourt Concierge]

I give my boyfriend a blow job. What more could they really want?


Well let's see... do you wear black lace, garters, stilettoes and have a riding crop in one hand while you do this ??

Oh yes... they do want more....

[aneaglesangel]

LOL! So many smells bothered me when I was pregnant. It changed between the 2 pregnancies what I couldn't stand to smell. With my first son, the thing I really couldn't stand was dish soap. Needless to say I always had a ton of dishes, for I had such a hard time bringing myself to smell the soap that I avoided them like the plague. But can you blame me, whenever I smelled it, I wanted to throw up, and many times I did. The smell of tuna also sent me off retching, I couldn't eat it for the whole pregnancy, or smell it! Hope things work out whichever way you need and want them to, hugs hon!

[mariaSKFAN]

i cook him breakfast in the morning then its off to school, i like to think he appreciates it lol. i always hug him goodbye and he's always to tired to do anything lol.

well, I don't know... kids are a blessing, and I myself am not a kid anymore (28, on the way to 29... :D)... It's confusing. Haven't taken the test yet, nor told my boyfriend. It's been kinda rough, he's unemployed... I know he would really love to have kids, but I don't think this is the right time (but on the other hand, I don't believe there IS a right time).

Anyway, I'll welcome the baby, if it's here already... if it's not, back to the pills I go!! lol

[mariaSKFAN]

ha wish i can get my bf to cook for me, that will be a miracle

[LadyPain]

Don't forget braids and pigtails and ponytails. Something to do with a part of a bicycle from what I hear... :devil: Quite a few gents prefer those things.

[Kim L.]

Babies just seem to come when they want to. The day I got laid off, I had a negative pregnancy test (we'd been trying), which was a relief. Then a few weeks later, when I was still late and having weird food cravings and the aforementioned aversion to Wesson cooking oil, guess what? Along came my beautiful daughter.

yeah, I can imagine... a friend of mine had that surgery (tubal ligation is what wikipedia tells me, is ti right?) in order not to have kids anymore (she already had 5!!) and even after the surgery, she got pregnant again, with the 6th... Oo

The things I had been feeling seem to be better now, but last night I couldn't smell the coffee my boyfriend was having, and my breasts are kinda sore. So I'm just going to relax and wait... maybe I'll take the test this afternoon. :)

[arista]

Here is a thing to ponder-Why is it that women seem to sweat sometimes and leave the big sweaty stain in the back of the shorts? Yet men somehow escape this wonder?

[Suzana]

So, took the test. Guess what?

not pregnant :D

[Agincourt Concierge]

So, took the test. Guess what?

not pregnant :D

ummmm judging from the little smiley face you left... I take it that's good result ?? :)

[Suzana]

YEah... I want to be a mother, but not now...

I know I'd be happy if I happened to be pregnant, but it's better this way. :)

[Suzana]

And thanks everybody for the words. I was really freaking out, and the attention helped a lot ;)

[Agincourt Concierge]

Men sweat in waaaaaay better places... :wink2:

I love men. My Daddy is a man, I have 2 older and 2 younger brothers who are men. I married a wonderful man and I gave birth to a soon becoming a man child. But, you have to admit, when it hits the fan it's the woman who comes in put things into order, quiet the chaos and get things moving in the right direction.
When someone gets seriously ill, a child is sick/in trouble, a parent gets sick, a family member is dying it's women who are right there gutting it out-as much as it hurts, as emotionally painful, traumatizing, and scarring it may be we are there until the end. I love all the men in my family but when things get sticky painful, heartbreaking, it's the women who rise to the occassion. Sort of like in "Steel Magnolias"

[LadyPain]

You know what I'm grateful for? Being able to get emergency contraception where I work. Last night, I didn't care who knew I was buying it. I'm just grateful the stuff is there, ya know? My birth control options diminished recently and I really have to get after my guy to make the appointment about going for the snip.

And to all the men in the room... take it easy, breathe deep and find your way back to more masculine places if this is too much for ya.

I am Stoopid ! (Yeah, big surprise, huh?) I want to apologize and try to make ammends. Mr. PITH, you are a great man and a wonderful SON. I am so sincerley sorry for being , well... stupid.
To all the other men I insulted or maligned, I beg your pardon. I could try to tell you what's going in my life right now that impeled me to write that post but...it would be a poor excuse.

[arista]

Today's question-Why is that they have to make shorts so short? I mean c'mon I'm 40 something lady-not sporting the daisy dukes these days...trying to dress my age.

What 1 thing do you do special for your man ? Men think we have to do the ironing,clean for him and etc.. So here is the place to say what is on your mind and tell the men to do things for himself.

Debbie

1 thing? I do way more than 1 thing for him....even after 18 years together.
I handle everything for the household, including making his appointments. I prep his lunch. I give him time for video games, and I just generally spend time with him, even if it's just sitting and watching tv together or watching him play games, then after he goes to bed I work on stuff for myself.

[StoryTellerRose]

I wish the shorts were longer for our young girls, too! I'm sick of seeing 12-14 year old girls running around looking like prostitutes...holy cheezits. Why not just wear your underwear if you're so danged proud of your legs? You're showing just as much skin either way. :mad2:

[arista]

I felt the need to bring the woman's only thread up (AGAIN..). I was at a county fair this past weekend...I am just saying this...If the girls are touching the waistband of your shorts...perhaps a tank top with no bra is not your best option...just saying.

[Madame A]

Storyteller Rose: I agree. I'm a teacher and it's hard to see my young students coming in wearing shorts that are not appropriate. Parents are also frustrated since the short shorts are all that are being offered in most stores this season. We were running out of gym shorts to make them change into! :biggrin2:

Arista: Thanks for the laugh, and the shudder. I'm sure it was quite the sight!

[JellybeanJay]

I have 2 little boys and I am afraid for them :grinning:! If the young girls look the way they do now I can't imagine what it will be like in another 10 years! Yikes!!

[Mookie]

I guess it will be a long search to find shorts that fit properly.........My daughters will not wear shorts that are a hair away from their bottoms.

[Suzana]

Why don't Chinese/Japanese women (specially the oldest ones) wear no bra? This question's been bothering me for ages!! LOL

they just go around wearing WHITE t shirts with no bra... eww (nothing against Chinese/Japanse people! Just ALOT against the lack of bras :D)

[Sigmund]

I guess it will be a long search to find shorts that fit properly.........My daughters will not wear shorts that are a hair away from their bottoms.

Yay or Nay? Outside a strip club or "Gentleman's Club" shorts that show an inch (or more of your buttocks) should not be worn by a female of any age.

[Sigmund]

Arista-Their was a show I think TMZ with an entire segment of what they called "side-boob" A bunch of "celebrities" wearing over-sized tank tops with no bras so ypu had a "side" (profile) view of their breast, A centimeter more and they would have needed pasties

[StoryTellerRose]

Mookie: I'm just glad there's still such a thing as thrift stores. You can find stuff there that's years out of date, but still in great condition and very wearable...guess where I'm shopping for clothes when my kiddo is older? Bwaughaha....

[heidismiles]

(New here - hi!) This is an interesting thread. I've got to say that the greatest assets I bring to my relationship are kindness and respect. It's not so much about actions, but attitude.

My boyfriend and I have been together over 9 years now. We've had disagreements about things, even gone through some upsetting stuff together, but never once have we lost track of our loving/respectful tone toward one another. We don't call names, we don't play ridiculous mind games, we don't intentionally hurt each other, ever. I never thought I would have a relationship like that, but now that I do, I don't think I'd be able to tolerate anything less. It's just so important and special to be able to approach everything in a loving way.

Try peppering your next "disagreement" with a bunch of "I love you's." It makes a world of difference!

[arista]

I heard on the radio today-That they now are selling the Bootie pop-It is underwear that has padding to make your posterior look bigger...I think someone on the board had discussed that the J-lo bootie booster..

I've seen those - they're absolutely ridiculous :rofl:

You can totally tell when people are wearing them. Worse than that, only silicon implants there: you cannot sit OR lay on you back OR sit on the toilet seat (???) OR wear tight clothes for over a month. :eek2:

It has been so hot this summer...That I am not proud of the body-but sure wish there was a bit more relaxation in the dress code at work.

[Tonka]

I know this is women only but my wife isn't on here so I will answer for her. She married me and gave me two beautiful children and that is what she has done special for her man. I could never live up to that.:love:

[StoryTellerRose]

I'd love to know something.....no one ever lets you in on the gross side of being pregnant. All you hear is how beautiful it is, and what a glorious experience, and yadda yadda yadda. But no one ever warns you about the gross stuff! Darnit, why not?! Some warning would have been nice, you know?!

[LadyPain]

Happiness is having the piggies painted in ten different colours...

[Bethemanueltire]

my husband is an over the road truck driver and he comes and goes at all hours. Whenever he's getting ready to leave no matter what time it is day or night i get up and make him coffee for his thermos, breakfast and lunch too. we've been together over 30 years. it hasn't been all great but now we seem to be on a roll, or maybe we just grew up, i don't know. he's good to me and he loves our pets too.

[Agincourt Concierge]

Don't you know it...!! If just ONE doctor would have been truthful and told me I would have ended up with stress incontinence due to "natural" childbirth.... I would have begged for C-section...!! and to add insult to injury.... I ended up w/a full hysterectomy... so I cut wide open anyways..!! ARGH....!! Childbirth lasted 8 hours.... incontinence lasts forever... LOL and screw the Kegels... I've done enough of those ! Still have to cross my legs every time I sneeze, cough or have a good chuckle...

oh yes.... I see depends in MY future... LOL

[arista]

Well...I hate to be the one to pee in anyone's cheerios...but the reason that they refrain from telling you the gross side of pregnancy...they really don't want to scare anyone off.. Yes, having to laugh when one has just had a baby..very risky indeed.

[Sigmund]

Well...I hate to be the one to pee in anyone's cheerios...but the reason that they refrain from telling you the gross side of pregnancy...they really don't want to scare anyone off.. Yes, having to laugh when one has just had a baby..very risky indeed.

I remember asking my family and friends, (women)"Why didn't you tell me the hysterectomy (sp?) would be do horrendous?" (They'd all had the procedure)

They all answered the same way, "Basically, it might not have been as bad for you. If it was, telling youabout the pain wasn't going to help you. It would have just scared you."

I agree, now. If a friend/family told me she was going to have this procedure I wouldn't say anything. (But I'd be praying and lighting candles for her!)

[AngelZ]

Childbirth was not fun either time. I knew it wouldn't be because my mother had warned me that it was bad for her. But I didn't understand how bad it would be until it happened to me. Ten times worse than menstrual cramps and even though I had wanted to go natural all the along, my mind was changed once I felt the pain. Not everyone gets the same pain and some women have a higher tolerance. I on the otherhand had a very low tolerance for pain.

[Sigmund]

Child birth is amazing, is it not? There's s reason they call it labor. And our body is an amazing machine-despite the horrendous pain (I did mine naturally-no drugs or epidural) we never pass out. You know, on tv someone is injured or being tortured and they pass out from the pain? Not in child birth.
And of the many births I have been witness to (eleven) and my sister in law who was at one time a delivery, the woman is there being split open and yet, as soon as the baby is born the first thing that woman will say, "Is s/he all right?"
Women-gotta love 'em.

[arista]

I would like to just say..that if men had to birth the babies of the world...population would decrease whole lot more.

[Sigmund]

Ms. Arista, you always keep us up to date with new styles and trends. Thank you. Have you heard/seen the "circle" contact lenses? They are over-sized contacts with over-sized colored iris ('s, es, esses, however you make the word iris plural :oo:) Once you put them in (which is reportedly difficult) the majority of your eyeball ilooks like a colored iris. (Apparently, they want to create the anime look of huge eyes). Lady Gaga wore them in a video and now everyone wants them. They can cause eye problems, though. I couldn't find an image that the net would let me "copy".
It does look rather awesome but I wouldn't risk my eyesight.

[Just Shelly]

I sometimes say "I'm sorry" to end the fight, even when I'm not.

[LadyPain]

Oh lordy, we were out driving today and I saw a woman almost double my weight (and I'm no skinny mini) wearing turquoise daisy dukes. Oh lordy, my retinas have been seared! I've pretty much told my husband that if I ever do something like that or go out in public dressed so badly, he's just to shoot me and put me out of my misery. What would bring someone to wear something like that? I have a friend who works in mental health and she refers to it as body dysmorphic disorder or something like that, where what you see in the mirror is no where near what you really look like to everyone else. Maybe that woman sees herself as thin, but I've always seen myself as overly voluptuous.

Owie.

[arista]

Hmmm... Can't say that I have heard of this latest one...However, the whole putting on lenses for different eye color always amazed me. I pesonally don't think I would wear eye contacts just for dramatic effect. Thanks Siggie for the update on this one.

[Evil Queen]

since i'm a stay at home wife/mom, i do a lot!!!!!!!! sometimes it's frustrating that my husband doesn't help much w/the kids & housework!! but he does work his behind off to support us, so i feel for him & in the end, i don't mind doing the things i do. we each have our part to do & we do it. he sweats his butt off in the summer, so the kids & i can be cool in the house(& we live in AZ, so it gets hot out there!), & in the winter, he's out there freezing it off so we can be warm(we live in Northern AZ, so it does get cold!), & he's never told me to go find a job because he was tired of working, he'd rather i stay home to take care of our kids, & i'd rather do it to, instead of some stranger. so i guess i have no legitimate complaints, he does for me, & i do for him!:love:

They do look awesome but I have read too much negative stuff about them. They are not regulated they don't have standards or guidlines and you buy them off the internet without examination, sizing fit..etc. My eyesight is already severly compromised I will not risk it.

[Sigmund]

Okay, it's the day when you do your maintanance (hair,brows, waxing, etc.). You slip and wind up waxing your right eyebrow completely off.
What do you do?

[Lass Chance]

OK, y'all will laugh, but it's the truth: The only "man" in my life is my best all-time dog, Jelly Bean. He's a Pit bull mix with blue eyes. He's absolutely the Perfect Dog, doesnt chew furniture, shoes, gets along with my other three dogs and two cats, learns quickly and minds very well. His ONE problem is, if he sees a strange dog walk past the fence he will leap that five foot fence in under a half second and chase it down the road. If, god forbid, (it's only happened once, but it was awful) the other dog happens to be on a leash....well, Jelly will chew on him.
So....it's imperative I keep him inside my yard. To accomplish this, I cut down a stand of bamboo, cut each piece into six foot lengths for uprights and eight foot lengths for horizontals....and attached the uprights to the existing wood plank fence on the front and back. Then I piled up the horizontal lengths between the uprights. Now, when Jelly tries to jump the fence, he hits that top length of bamboo....and it ROLLS, making him fall right on his butt INSIDE the yard.

Or, at least, that's the plan. He hasnt actually tried to jump since I put the bamboo spinners up. It's just a matter of time, tho.....

So you would draw the eyebrow on and the left one would be actual hair? (The right one is drawn in and the left is your actual hair/brow?)

[arista]

Siggie-It depends on how skilful an artist you are...lol

[Tery]

I use one of those little shaver-type things so if I should slip I'm really screwed! I guess I'd have to try to match the other one or just shave both of 'em off and dig up an eyebrow pencil... :oo:

[Agincourt Concierge]

So you would draw the eyebrow on and the left one would be actual hair? (The right one is drawn in and the left is your actual hair/brow?)


ummm..... probably best to even them both up ... unless you want to look lopsided.... ! so you might want to take the hair off the other side too....

don't know... never done that before....

but I did go to get my legs waxed once... ONCE... NEVER AGAIN.... the gal doing the waxing.. lathered that stuff on...
couldn't get to it quick enough... and ended up basically chiseling it off my leg.... !!

I lost many layers of skin that day... no kidding... hurt like a mother too.....

never again...

[LadyPain]

Personally I'd go with a stylish pirate patch over my eye and eyebrow and pretend I had an eye injury until it started to grow back and when it was almost reasonable, I'd have to claim that the patch rubbed the eyebrow thin. Gods, with a spiel of absolute crap like that I could go into politics.

For me, it would never happen. Don't wax the eyebrows. I got lucky enough with a decent set.

Lord save us all! Does anyone remember the "Epilady"?
(Wikipedia Epilater: An epilator is an electrical device used to remove hair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_removal) by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them
out.).
Yes, this was a mechanicaj, electrical device that would suck in you leg hair, get it all tangled up in a coil and then rip the hairs out. 1, 10, 38 hairs at anyone time-not simultaneously.
And you can imagine how long you had to let your hair grow out so this invention from misogyny (sp) hell could turn and turn and tangle and rip the hairs out. Ping! Ping! Ping, ping ping,! Ping!
I have a high pain threshold and I can wax anything on me no problem-but I put that epilady on my calf for no more than 10-15 seconds and I was in serious pain. And you can't just turn it off and quit-there are bunches of hairs caught up in the coils. I finally just took a deep breath and yanked it off (I tore some skin off too!)
A co-worker actually taped the epilady to her leg (wore pants) and waited for the hair to grown out enough so she could slide a scalpel between her skin and the Epilady to remove it.

Let's just say you're lucky you had that done to your legs... :biggrin2:

And since I'm Brazilia, and people in Brazil usually wax EVERYTHING...

:D

:rofl: :rofl: OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH....!! :biggrin2: NO NO AND HELL NO...!!!

I do have an epilady story...I was about 13 or so and had requested the object of pain for Christmas...I was all twitter on Christmas morning unwrapping this miracle product. I used it approximately one time and screamed like a little girl and quickly told Mommy and Daddy that this thing was going back to the store. Wonders of Wonders...(they actually took back the torture object).

Oh you must be referring to that lovely device with the wire coils that grasps your hair and yanks it out by the roots!( am I remembering right?) Nah, not for any sane person would that be the top choice in hair removal. And bikini waxes, whoever endures those, must have a high pain tolerance...Forget it!!

you took the words right out of my mouth... LOL rips and hair roots should never be said in the same sentence IMO ..

Hi,

It would be a lot easier (and considerably less painful!) to change society to a more hair tolerant one IMO.

If you don't like the view, move where you're standing kinda thing, if you see what I mean?

Or am I completey wrong?

Long days and pleasant nights

It's pretty funny. I decide to read the women only thread and you talk about bikini waxes. How typical :)

I agree. There are a number of societies and cultures where leg hair/body hair on females is found desireable.
The same mysoginist that invented high heels, girdles and feminine hygiene (sp?) soaps, sprays etc is the same one that got us into this leg shaving thing. (I must say that I do shave-peer pressure , and my underarms for hygenic reasons)
