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: With any luck, right after he finishes college.

A: Childbirth.

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

Q: My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during
labor, but pressure. Is she right?

A: Right after you find out you're pregnant.

[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.

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.

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...
