As for the subject of women and perfume, I really do prefer lighter scents myself. A woman that smells like she took a bath in perfume is as much of an assault on my nose as some of the solvents I have to work with. They have got to come out with a scent for ladies that smells like a campfire in a pine forest.
 
That pic is gorgeous too, Oncefallen. Great gas mileage too I would imagine :)

My mom used to clean with Pinesol and burned food a lot. She shoulda bottled that scent, but I can't say it was one of my favs. :D
 
I do believe we're going to have to begin a process of re-educating Julllianna. Pinesol smells nothing like any pine forest I've ever been in, and burned food smells nothing like burning pine. I think I'm going to need to kidnap and relocate you to a secret nasal re-education camp deep in the Rockies to retrain your nose. :D:D

Promise?? :D
 
Promise?? :D

I can neither confirm nor deny the validity of my threat. Confirmation would cause me to be a primary suspect in the event of your mysterious disappearance thus subject me to investigation and prosecution in state and federal courts, and denial would cause me to appear to be a spineless wimp who can't follow through. Therefore, I plead the fifth.:D

Oooh, I joined this thread at the right time.

Men and women have different mating strategies and must live up to some minimum requirements to be accepted in our culture.

Men size up women as baby-making material, and women size up men as a meal ticket.

If a man will not provide for his wife, it really does not matter what else he does. If a women will not care for her children, again it really does not matter what else she does.

Men also have to exhibit handyman skills, and women some home economic skills - a lot of overlap is okay though. But for the high-end duties, they fall along man/woman traditions. Like my wife won't let me touch the important laundry (towels are okay), and I refurbished the grill (seriously dirty, grungey, and grill parts that should effortllessly fit together, don't).

I have also noticed that when a man gets injured in a group of men, they usually laugh (at least at first), about the injury. Women sympathize from the start. Any idea why?
 
*wonders if we get to make smores*

S'mores come only with sufficient positive response to nasal retraining therapy. It has been found that introducing the scent of marshmallows and chocolate too early in the treatment process can be detrimental to continued progress and in some cases even cause irreversible regression.
 
Would you believe I just had smores for the very first time two weekends ago? We used coconut-flavoured marshmellows (yes, they exist!!!), graham crackers, and Cadbury chocolate bar squares! Oh, and we did not have an open fire, so we used a barbecue (hey, whatever works, right? - lol).

Oracle, men seem to de-stress with laughter, while women seem to cry when they have reached the point of SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. While the women like the sympathy (okay, not all of them.... some women abhor it), men seem to get over the pain better if a joke is made of the situation. If someone were to laugh when I got hurt, I'd take it as an insult.

Okay, I doubt I'm going to have time to read through the first 30 pages of this. Or however many we're up to by now. Great thread, DiDi :cool: Oh, we should rate it; I'll do so when I'm done typing, assuming I don't forget. Anyway, other than the first few pages, and the previous few pages, I haven't read most of this thread, so IDK if anyone has asked this yet, but I'll volunteer the answer :). The reason that women get cold quicker than men is simple: we have the babies with us more, so we need to be more sensitive to temperature changes, since the babies are more sensitive. If we feel cold, we're much more likely to remember to cover up the little one. Same goes for feeling hot sooner; we have a small threshold for comfort to make sure the baby stays in an acceptable range. At least, that's what I think; it makes sense anyway :).

Umm...I have to be honest and say that it would depend upon the extent of the injury and how it happened whether I would laugh or not. I have been known to laugh at very inappropriate times. :o

And I'm honored to meet a guy who knows not to bother the important laundry. :) Your wife is blessed.

I'm still trying to figure out what the difference is between "important" laundry and unimportant laundry. I've been doing my own laundry for 25 years and it's all important since it all needs to be done. Maybe it's just some sort of married folk code. :confused:

Yes. Yes, it is. :D
