"Slimmer Wife. Hands down. No question. Without a doubt. No two ways about it. Just being honest."

I can live without baked goods; I need a healthy wife.

More slim is more healthy -- to a point (*) -- beyond which, more slim is more unhealthy.

At that point (*) is the ideal place to be -- and is the goal for good health and longevity - for both the husband and the wife.

Would I be willing to do my best to stay "thin and trim" if my wife was willing to do her best to stay "thin and trim" also?

( Working toward that mutual goal together. )

"You Betcha!"

:)
GaryA don't forget to check her teeth and healthy gums.



and her foot..



You wanna make sure she's in good condition. ;)

Well I'm willing to accept a lot of things, I'm not that picky overall, but I don't know if I can learn to handle that my future wife might bake me cookies.. I just don't know.. I really feel that's taking it too far? Maybe I'm just being crazy here, or is it the world that's crazy?..

Here's a joke you men might appreciate, and women too.

There were three construction workers and each of them always ate the same thing for lunch. One was Irish, the other Italian and the last one was an Australian.

Irish : "I'm tired of potato it's always potatoes, potatoes, potatoes!"

Italian: "salami sandwich! urgh..."

Aussie: "Ahh how i hate vegemite sandwich! I eat them everyday!"

The second day it was the same thing for lunch.

Irish : "If tomorrow I get potatoe for lunch I'm going to jump from that bridge and kill myself!"

Italian : "One more salami sandwich and I'm jumping off that bridge and killing myself!"

Aussie : "vegemite sandwich? If there's vegemite sandwich for lunch tomorrow I'm gonna jump from that bridge and kill myself!"

And yes, as always, the next day they had the same thing for lunch. So all of the three men jumped from the bridge and killed themselves.

The wives of the men were really sad and were crying for their husbands.

Irish wife : "I would've never packed him potato for lunch if I knew he would do that!"

Italian wife : "I would never had packed him salami sandwich if I knew that would happen!"

Aussie wife : "I wouldn't pack him vegemite sandwich if I knew that would happen but I don't get why he did that since he packed his own lunch!"

Real mean fight at night. The tracer fire is like the glow from a thousand tiny suns all headed down range.

"Not necessary, really..."

I made that post for a reason. Sometimes I make posts like that one just to make a point.

Often, it seems, on CC -- I am not afforded the same courtesy as everyone else - of having my own opinion. I get slammed for speaking any-bit-of-truth that I may happen to express...

( "Don't worry - I can handle it - I don't loose any sleep over it. Besides, it happens often enough that I am 'used to it'..." )

By making this statement, it is not my intention to whine; rather, I am only stating an observation...

It is really easy for people to "read into" posts things the author did not say - and certainly, did not intend to say.

In this particular case, the question being asked - that I answered - is very specific:

"baked goods" versus "slim wife" : What is your preference?

I did not say, by any stretch of imagination, that I would love my wife less if she baked cookies and, as a consequence, she were 15 pounds heavier. Yet - "I promise you" - there are some folks on CC - men and women - whose imaginations "no-doubt" immediately - upon reading my post - "conjured up" some really twisted assumptions about me, my attitude toward women, etc. - based on their own suppositions drawn from things I did not actually say [ in the slightest ] - that-are-nothing-even-remotely-close-to-the-truth.

The question was one of preference. Am I not allowed to have a preference?

Is there only one [ politically ] correct answer to the question [ that is allowed ]?

Also - 'preference' does not mean "absolute requirement" either. Yet - I'm pretty sure that that idea entered several people's minds when they read it.


Things about me that might be helpful to know:

~ I am not a legalist.

~ I am not 'politically correct'.

~ I am a 'deep thinker'.

~ I am very detail-oriented.

I can give very detailed specific answers to very detailed specific questions. And -- 99% of the time ( it seems ), others will "assume" things that I did not actually say... :(

So, I "try to do my best" to do what I can to minimize this effect...

A big part of the reason why I utilize various text attributes ( font, color, bold, italics, etc. ) the way I do is to try to more effectively communicate to others the "sense and tense" of what I am trying to say - with [ various forms of ] emphasis to express what is missing in this environment - the subtle "clues" of body language, etc. If you read enough of my posts, you should see a pattern develop...

I have tried to create a consistant 'style' that others may be able to recognize and more efficiently interpret. If you see big fonts in my posts -- it is very highly probable that it is simply-and-only for emphasis. I am not yelling. I am not angry. It is exceedingly rare that any anger is involved in my writing of posts. Why? Well --- first of all -- I do not easily take offense to [ what amounts to ] "someone elses opinion" -- no matter what kind of self-proclaimed [ whatever ] they might indicate that they are, or make themselves out to be - it is only "someone elses opinion" to me. Now - don't misunderstand what I am saying here. I am not saying that I do not value other's opinions. What I mean by this is that I "maintain a reasonable level of expectation" with regard to what other people post on CC. I am mature enough ( and detail-oriented enough ) to "look past" the [ anger, etc. ] in other people's posts - so as to be able to see what they are actually trying to say. Without reacting to the 'emotion' content, I can focus more on the 'data' content. In other words, I can usually separate the 'data' in a post from the 'attitude' / 'emotion' / etc. that is sometimes attached to the post - because of the emotionally-charged-state-of-mind of the person when they wrote it. I have actually seen people on CC get into "a very 'active' exchange of words" :eek: over some issue / topic - when, in actuality, they essentially agreed with each other... Why? Because, they were paying more attention and interest in the 'emotional' content - rather than the 'data' content - of other's post(s). ( The PRIDE that can be found on CC is enormous. Everyone is too busy "playing their tape" to have any real discussions about anything. ( Of course, this statement is mostly referring to "conversations held" in the Bible Discussion Forum... :p ) )

Also, I try to "think through" what I want to say before / while I am writing a post. Sometimes, this contributes to the long time it takes me to write some posts. I try very hard to "articulate correctly" what it is that I want to get across.

( And, I try to apply James 1:19 to my post-writing. )

~ I am not perfect.

~ I do not think that I "know it all" or "have it all figured out"; I know what I believe, and am not afraid to express it.

~ I fully respect the right of everyone else to have their own opinion about [ whatever ] -- and, I do not 'slam' anyone simply for having an opinion that is different than mine.

~ I am an honest, decent, respectable, well-intentioned, was-even-raised-to-have-good-manners kind of guy.

Many of you would be "totally astounded and amazed" at just how much 'respect' I actually have for women-in-general, womanhood, motherhood, pregnant women, ... ( a special 'regard' for women - to look after them and protect them - of whatever age - when in close proximity - whether I have ever-in-my-life met them before or not -- "just an 'automatic' tendency that is based on how I was 'raised'..." )

Based on how I was raised -- it is a shame and a dishonor to abuse a female of any age.

I have never purposely used, abused, hurt, injured, or hit a female ever-in-my-entire-life.

Again - I am not perfect; however, the intentions of my heart are sincere and honest.

~ Despite the fact that some refuse to believe it -- I do not "look down my nose" at anyone on here -- nor have I ever "talked down" to anyone on here.

"For the absolute most part, I like all of you just fine..." :cool:


And - "you can rest assured" that - if I happen to call you 'honey' or 'dear' or etc. -- there is [ at least ] some real, honest, sincere, affection behind it. I never use this kind of term-of-affection in a negative way ( with a negative attitude or intent attached to it ). It is my way of showing you that "I am one who cares"...

( And, of course - "because I care" - I will happily not do such as that if you are not comfortable with it - and / if - I am aware of that fact. Just keep in mind -- the effectual outcome of your personal opinion and associated comfort-level does not constitute a valid judgment to be placed on all women -- some of whom may actually enjoy the affection given - not believing that there is anything wrong with "honest innocent affection from a brother"... )


Guys - "you can rest assured" that - I will not call you 'honey' or 'dear' or etc... :D




Yes -- my personality, sense of humor, etc. - is "a little different" from "the average guy";however...

"I am not the Ogre that some folks seem to think that I am." :p


To borrow the saying that mailmandan currently has in his signature:

I'm not a bad guy. I'm just misunderstood.

In Gary's defense - a lot of women would choose the same exact thing..sacrificing cookie baking for being slim, in this hypothetical either/or situation

I don't mind if she makes cookies. If she's nice I'll even help make them.

But don't be surprised if I eat 1/4 of them while they are on the cooling rack. :)

She has a nice voice. Nice re-mix. Feels a little odd that she is singing about a girl but that's just me. *shrugs*

Still good though! :)

No worries GaryA, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. :)

I was by no means "attacking" you, I said it with tongue in cheek :D

Who am I to "debate" what wife you want.... ;)

You want a slim wife who can bake delicious cookies for you....You Got It! - Roy Orbison :)
