So... Fenner ole pal, sometime around the end of February could you come down and visit us here in southwest TN? We could use some snow. Didn't even get the road slick last winter.

But, I could definitely see BruceWayne as a dog.....:p[/FONT][/COLOR]
Are you making an April fool's joke? :p

Sure I'd love to visit! That's a place on my bucket list and I'm not even that far. I want to see Nashville and go watch some good live music there.

I'm an October-born troll. I chose October as my birth month after tirelessly researching all of the possibilities.

I'm at my new favorite place the laundromat. I'm going to have someone's come fix my washing machine this week. The belt isn't broke and we have tried different things to fix it. Anyhow I call my husband, hi there's a big frozen chicken pot pie in the freezer. If you want to bake that we can go down to your Moms later and have dinner with her there. Me: the instructions are on the back of the box. Him: how long do I bake it for? Me, an hour maybe read the BACK of the box. Him: what do I set the oven for? Me: I think 350, just read the box. Him: Okay I'll just read the box. Me: smashes head on table at laundromat.

I was out with a friend for coffee Friday night. She was telling me something not negative or mean about her Husband but just the way he thinks. At times feeling like she has to instruct him and I said, I think I married his Brother. Neither of us are bossy. I think some people need a play by play of exactly what or how to do something.

The wise man knows that no matter what, he will always be wrong in the eyes of his woman, so men learn to ask a million questions so if it turns out wrong, they have the defense of "yeah, but that's how you told me to do it". Men try to avoid arguments, so when married they give up their ability to make their own decisions and defer to the one actually wearing the pants. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and no matter what, the man is still wrong. That's why we die before women - just so we can get some peace and quiet.

Now that's just sad but I totally agree with you that there are women who are so manipulating, deceptive and crippling to men (and vice versa). They will put on a front and do whatever it takes to get a man into their spider web and then... GOTCHA! Like that crazy lady in the movie, Fatal Attraction.

I honestly could not be in a relationship with a man who didn't have a backbone and who didn't think for himself. And I couldn't stomach a man trying to appease me either. GAAHH!! :p I would want someone with some serious inner strength, someone to look up to ya know? Someone who laughs loudly with abandon. Someone who just exudes confidence and vitality. My dad was one of the strongest men I know. I was raised with 5 enthusiastic, loud, strong-willed brothers and both my sons are extremely powerful and perceptive. Actually, my daughter is one of the strongest, most insightful young women I know. All of my kids are in a relationship with strong, perceptive & loving people. So not all men are in the unfortunate situation you describe.

Manipulation is a passive-aggressive way to bully someone. It's abuse. No man or woman should be in that kind of toxic relationship. Tip for the day: Avoid selfish crazy people. :rolleyes:

Hey Peeps...

Just wondering if I could please ask, if anyone has a chance today, to please say a prayer for my Mom.

She fainted today and no one knows why. They're running a bunch of tests, and I'm not in the best frame of mind right now. :(

Thanks very much. <3

I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. When it comes to women, I have no backbone whatsoever. I also have the neurosis of trying to please women which I realize has it's roots clear back with trying to find acceptance from my Mother and never getting it.

I managed to twice find relationships that were as messed up and dysfunctional as the one my parents had, and I think that is a major reason I ended up marrying both those women even though I was not in love with them nor even attracted to them - they fulfilled the role of the domineering and nagging *you know what*, and I guess that's what I was looking for because it was familiar.

That's sad but I know of someone who just married an awful spoiled woman. A friend of mine asked me why I thought he'd marry someone like that? I said well he's not deaf or blind, she has a very shrill voice for sure. She's incredibly controlling and I'll say it, not attractive. It's like he went to the deli and bought a sardine sandwich with Limburger cheese. She's been mean to my friend who's her Sister in law for years and I've seen her in action. So call me mean, but I don't like her. Anyhow I told her, he may have Mother issues or low self esteem. I pity him. I think many people marry awful people for the same reasons you did.
