You guys try too hard. I forgot the GG contest and found it on my phone by accident - jumped on bandwagon with only 2 posts and made the drawing. Karma is balance. You do enough work making others happy - just go with it next time - see what happens

Have you ever known me to say or do one mean or untoward thing to anyone? There is no karma (think the reverend in Caddyshack saying that!
)..........I think I'm Shleprock at this point!!!
And you made my point on the contest perfectly, my friend, you didn't even try and think so why should I? And how has getting in a drawing ever worked out for me in a mod contest? Lox, well, you know me and you made the thread, you know how I'm feeling!!!!
It'll come when the time is right. But just in case - don't golf in the rain
One of the funniest scenes in the movie
Leading to, of course!!!
I saw this elsewhere and knew it had to be shared with the commiserating crew!!!
NINE WORDS [/phrases] WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' -- that will bring on a 'whatever'.)
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying .... YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I've got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking, 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response, refer to #3.
And my add-on........
10) Do what you want -- this is a test, you have to read their mind and guess what it is they want you to do -- it is a test that you will always fail as there is no correct choice (think of it is the Kobiyashi Maru of relationships) and if you do what you actually want you're a selfish ......., if you do what you think she wants you get "Don't make this my decision, don't sit around and mope all night"..........its a no-win situation!!!
Love you all!!!

oh funny..........
3 things you'll never hear men say:
1) You're right
2) I'm wrong
3) I'm sorry............
I have used all three phrases in the same sentence trying to avoid the long argument to no avail, you must be with the wrong guy!!!

Hmmm I SHOULD see this movie some day......when did it come out? Do you think the video rental store will have it??

That is fairly accurate.....lol.....I used to use some of those same phrases years ago to my boyfriend.....now I am with the same boyfriend again and I try NOT to assume he knows what I mean or can read my mind, because he never does know, I know now it's got to be SPELLED OUT if I am upset about something LOL
This, Animal House, Stripes, and Airplane are the best of all the catchphrase movies for men of my generation -- if you want to understand how men 40-60 speak, these must be watched!!!
I thought I had better post those rules so the newlywed moderator could understand wife-speak!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!

You're so smart to have realized that, LR!
Male commiserators, please chime in -- I don't know about anyone else, but just tell me what to do and I'm all good, I just want clarity!!!
Hmmm I SHOULD see this movie some day......when did it come out? Do you think the video rental store will have it??
There is something wrong with that video store if they don't
There is something wrong with that video store if they don't
What's a video store???
Is that '80s speak for torrent site?
Wow...this is funny and sad....
I usually don't have to bother with being told...after 10 years I hear the phrase "get out of my head!" alot.
and who has time to argue these days...argument=someone was bored and why are the floors dirty?
lol...This is a long running joke in our house, excerpted from a housekeeping monthly that her grandma still has:
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so youll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.
Your goal: To try and make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
Dont greet him with complaints and problems.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
Dont ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
A good wife always knows her place.
If I ask her how her day was she often says "anything that happened in your day is far more important, so tell me that first!"
I am a coffee nut and she has a little song that she runs around singing " all i ever do....is brew brew brew!"
I often respond to a request with "why are you out of the kitchen, and what makes you think wearing socks is ok?" which really means "I will take care of that right now!
Amazing how the times have changed isn't it. I read this joke a long time ago in a mens magazine -
What do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes?
Nothing! You already told her twice!

Love you all!!!
When my son was a baby, my doctor gave me advice on how to not become a single mother lol.
(It was not asked for lol, but I was very young at the time and I guess he thought it was a good idea).
He said to dress up my son in his cutest clothes when the dad was around, to not ask the father to change diapers and stuff like that, to give him the baby when the baby is in a good mood, to always be in a good mood around the father myself...lol.....stuff like that.
Seemed a bit unfair to me that I had to deal with all the unpleasantness, and his father gets to sit there and deal with none of it while I grin and bear it lol.
I know the doc's heart was in the right place though lol.
As for the "video store" lol - it seems retro to me too lol - but lately I have been visiting the NEW Family Video they built next to my place, and renting DVDS - no VHS anymore - lol - it is kinda strange, since I haven't done that for YEARS - but also pretty fun too, I like it! They have great rental prices too. And hand out coupons sometimes as well. I don't have netflix anymore so this is one of the things I have been doing instead, besides watching stuff online at hulu or other sites...
