Meg...
I'm in "like" with someone myself. It's a long story that I won't bore you with, but I just found out from her a couple days ago that she's interested in me as well. I've been walking around with that stupid grin you're speaking of for a couple days now. :-)
Well, good for you Guy! Aren’t you the lucky one?! And, of course, it’s doubly lucky...there is a very lucky lady somewhere near you. I am so glad that somebody appreciates you...another gentleman off the market!
I know I'm biased (being a guy), but I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised by most, and really irritated by a few.
Yeah, of course, you are right. I already have been very pleasantly surprised. Remember, Michael Jackson was just another mega-star at the time, he hadn’t been accused of anything but weirdness the last time I was being treated well. So, it HAS been very pleasant by comparison.
When I was younger, I tried to step in the middle of physical abuse I saw in the street a couple of times...One of them was doing this as her eye was swelling from where he hit her. The first time it happened I slinked off, embarrassed, and later thought it was just weird. The second time I took a step back, apologized to him for interrupting his beating, and went on my way. Now I just stay out of it unless the woman specifically calls for help.
What a shame that some women make a real man feel badly for helping protect them from a bully. I specifically considered this type of woman when I determined to assure that the police who had helped me would never say that I wasted their time. But I guess some women enjoy being a volunteer victim. Personally, I would have been very relieved for your assistance, there was nobody around to help me before the cops got there.
You have no idea of how annoyed I am with the ones that give the rest of us a bad name. I hate having to prove that I'm trustworthy and having to make sure it's obvious that I'm not a psychotic stalker.
Yeah, I can imagine...kinda like I feel about the women that protect their abusers. Speaking of psychotic stalkers...I love the comments that I received in response to the pathetic bore who wrote the nasty comment.
Like I said, I was interested to see the differing opinions of who/what wrote that. I think that the men automatically identified the nutcase as a man...and the women thought it was Vex or his mistress. We will never know because only cowards make anonymous insults and they usually maintain their anonymous status or slink away into the dark like a slug.
I think it was Vex, or it was "Trailer Trash Woman" (or as me and my friends like to call her-"TTW") Either way, they are both nut jobs.
True, and even if they didn’t write it...they are both nut jobs. But this nut job underestimated normal people and overestimated the harm that they themselves were capable of. I can imagine some pathetic loser evilly typing away with a stupid grin, thinking that they have just delivered a stinger to me while in reality, all they were doing was making a total jack ass of themselves. Like I always told my kids, you needn’t retaliate in kind because you don’t discover an asshole, you stumble upon a known asshole. I am quite sure that this nit wit is a known asshole where he/she comes from.
I don’t know what she looks like... cigarette dangling from her lips with running red lipstick, smeared caked-on mascara and matted hair. She is a bitch to everyone unless you have a penis. I know this kind-beware. For they feed on misery, and enjoy making others miserable.
LOL, knowing you and your talent for putting a face to the writers, I bet you are awfully darn close. As to the last sentence in the above comment, I am POSITIVE you are right.
I immediately pictured a guy who has even worse social skills than me sitting at home being bitter (yes, the common theme) that he doesn't go out with any women...If and when this guy has a chance to go out with some women and realize that every date isn't a life-fulfilling event and isn't going to put you on the fast track to marriage, he'll finally get it. Until that day, though, he'll be annoyed at any woman going out and having fun while he's not involved.
Yeah, if it is a man, I am sure you are dead on. I wish I could see the look on his/her face as he/she reads how accurately a bright person has pinned them down.
I'll sum him up with this old joke:
Q: What is the difference between a slut and a whore?
A: A slut sleeps with everyone.
A whore sleeps with everyone but you.
Yeah, jealousy is a very sad thing when it is felt against someone that you know...how totally piteous when it is felt against someone you don‘t even know! That is certainly a sign of a “person” suffering true misery.
Luckily, times have changed. :-)
Yeah, but the existence of such cretins reminds us that there are many folks who live still in a time when women were considered less than a citizen. This situation reminds me of a time when I had gone to see the Phil Donahue Show back in 1980. They did a live show that day and then after it was over, they taped a show to be shown during the Christmas holidays. During the first show, I asked a question of an attorney who was defending surrogate motherhood. At the beginning of the second show, Phil tossed out a comment something to the effect of, “The social rules are different for a man and a woman.” I appluaded that comment and since I had spoken during the previous show, Phil stuck the mic in my face for a response. Now, like I said before, my father always told me that my thoughts should spend a little more time in my brain before they come out of my mouth. But I was very young at the time and I hadn’t quite learned that skill yet. For some reason, my mouth opened and said, “My husband uses Bible quotes to say that men can cheat while women can’t.” Now, that was true, but not all truths need to be spoken. The mic attack hit me by surprise and I couldn’t remember what I had said. I DID remember the date for the airing of that show, it was to be aired on January 2nd. So I told everyone I knew to watch the show that day.
When I heard what I had said, I wanted to crawl away myself. My husband was right there next to me and he was rather unimpressed with my comment. When the show ended, my phone began ringing. First, my father called. All he could muster was laughter. Next was my husband’s mother...I will never forget the sound in her voice as she said, “Margie, how could you do that to Markie?” I felt terrible. Years later I was still running into relatives at family functions who had seen me on Donahue. That stupid comment haunted me for years.
Well, I don’t care what time it says on this post, it is very early morning and the kids have just arrived. One is still tired and the other is hungry so I am going to put one down for a little more sleep and feed the other one. I hope you are all having a great day!
I’ll be back soon.
