    Maybe we can all "miss" less... I mean if we come by more often and talk some... well, we could "miss" less... I don't like "missin'" my friends too much...

    Stringer darling, you are always part of my favorite AMHD cyber family and I want you to know that, even if I miss a few names now and then. I hope you realize that. Besides, how can I not miss the guy who offered my grandson a job at what he does best... he still uses his cleaning cart every day helping mom around the house. It's hard to believe that a little kid his age still is interested in a toy he got 5 months ago, and it makes me feel good that I picked something that he does not put aside for newer stuff.
    Last week I got him a little snowglobe on a marble stand with an angel in it, something he can keep for the rest of his life and not be shy displaying it in his room, no matter how old he gets.

    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_129.gif You are the bottom left one here and I will always think of you all when I light my candle in the evening. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_5_2.gif

Missing you hon, dear, sweet stuff ;) Hope to catch you here soon, all this hit and miss is for the birds... and I am not speaking of my peacock, hahahaha!

    Thanks my Chery, You are the best...
    I guess I have a deep desire to be special in your eyes... sigh. :D

    Maybe we need an "Early Warning System?" One that would sound a bell in the different time zones all at one time when we can all be on line together... think?

    EDIT: BEAR... where the heck are you lately?

    EDIT #2: R... What if you just have someone get up there and just pour hot tar all over the whole roof.. Miss you too hon.

    I'm back home in Michigan, my cats are glad to see me, but I just spent a month with my daughter. I miss her and that litle dog of hers already.
    I'm doing laundry, my husband kept the house clean (he's a pretty OK guy)
    It's back to the real world again.

    Hi Homegirl. You lucky lady, your husband cleans? My husband couldn't find the garbage can if I tied it to his waist, LOL. Lucky girl, can I send my hubby over for lessons? ;)
  • Apr 26, 2008, 08:47 AM
    Homegirl 50
    Sure, send him on. Any thing for a sister. We women have to stick together.
    He cooks and cleans, it sounds good, but he is also picky, so if I'm not here, he will keep things clean.
  • Apr 26, 2008, 08:55 AM
    Alty
    My hubby is not at all concerned about cleaning, if the house is clean, it's okay, if it's not that's okay too, it's frustrating. But, he makes up for it, he's a wonderful man and a great father, so I don't mind a bit of mess. He does cook sometimes, and he's not bad at it. :)

    We guys try (well most of us)... it would help if the ladies would put together a list or book of exactly how we can be everything that you ever wanted.. We could check it out each time we need help... chapter and verse... imagine "a giant step for "man"kind.

    But then, would you really want us all behaving like that; trying to be perfect for you? We would actually be the "Stepford Men"!! Wow, scary......!

    Ha ha,
    Stringer
  • Apr 26, 2008, 09:47 AM

    Stedford Men, that's funny, so is the mental picture. ;)

    Hmm... a book, what should we call it, "Do it or Die?", "Cleaning 101", "How to make your wife happy using a feather duster?", so many possibilites. ;) :)
  • Apr 26, 2008, 09:55 AM
    Stringer
    And... I didn't even open that chapter... hehe

    "How to make your wife happy using a feather duster?", so many possibilities."

    No wonder we admire you women so much (from a man's prospective), you are sooooo creative!

    Stringer; (Me man... me kill the dinosaur, opps they died a LONG time ago... sorry forgot.)

    (Am I giving you enough ammunition?)

    I don't know that I'd want my husband to do everything I told him to do, be a "stepford guy", that would be a turn off. Just be considerate and help out as needed.
    We have been married 32 years and have worked out most of the quirks. We may not like everything about each other but we're OK with it. We know our likes and dislikes so we try to accommodate.
  • Apr 26, 2008, 10:24 AM
    Alty
    Stringer, hee, hee, I'm glad you liked the feather duster comment, I do try to make you laugh. :)

    Homegirl, I have to agree, if he did everything he'd be perfect, perfect is boring. I'm not really upset about the lack of cleaning, but it would be nice if he helped out more, I can dream can't I?

    All in all though I'd never trade any of his other traits for a cleaner house, I love him just the way he is, and he reciprocates, that's enough for both of us. :)

    I'm not saying that there aren't things we wouldn't change if we could, but they're minor, like snoring, he snores, that I would change if I could, it's loud! ;) He'd probably love to change a few things about me too, I can't imagine what though. :cool: :D

    There's some ammunition for you Stringer dear. :)

    Ok, I'll use it dear, you have given me a chance here for one of Stringer's night time stories (even though it is only 12:30 pm).

    I was watching a talk show on TV a long time ago, I think it was on one of the PBS stations. And I have always remembered what was said by one women;

    It was a 'round table" discussion about the differences between the sexes. The discussion had taken a turn toward complaining about each other and almost getting nasty. One woman complained that "he" was sometimes almost useless, a guy complained that he almost had to beg for things, etc, etc ,etc.

    One woman was really upset, she complained about almost everything her husband did or didn't do..One of her most vibrant complaints was that he also snored loudly for the last 25 years! She would wake him, punch him, yell at him several times each night, she just can't take it anymore. She had demanded that he see a specialist, which he did, but he was soon snoring again. Almost all the women agreed wholeheartedly, except one...who sat there with her head down, slowly shaking her head "no."

    The panelists stopped and looked at her, and ask her what was wrong? The woman, about 50 or so, raised her head with tears in her eyes and said;

    I haven't slept in years, Harry snored constantly and like you I was mad. Now, I miss that sound so much... my husband passed two years ago.

    Wow, that was a great story Stringer. :)

    I don't get mad at the snoring, I've learned to live with it, as he's learned to live with my little quirks (and I do mean little ;) ). You are right though, I would miss the snoring if it meant he wasn't around anymore, I love the man, goodness knows I didn't marry for money, neither one of us had any when we married, so it must be love and it's definitely still there.

    We've been married for 13 years this May, but we've been together for 18, almost half my life, yup, it's for love, and I wouldn't ever change that. I am one of those people that is in it for life, till death do us part, and if he doesn't stop snoring I'm going to smother him with a pillow;) (kidding, totally kidding, gosh, really, I'm kidding!)

    Hee, hee, love to giggle. :)

    I already knew that about you Alty. You are a fine person.

    I always try to see things in a larger sense than say... the particular disagreement at the moment. Mom always taught us the only thing you can't "get back" are the mean things said in anger.

    You too? If I had a penny for every time someone called me something nasty I'd have, oh, enough for a coffee at least. But the same goes for people saying nice things, and I insist that I focuse on the good, not the bad, you do the same dear, okay?

    Yep, I do, or I should say; I try to. Less stress I guess, but I do really try to see the good in people... but it is tough some times... you want to say "here, hold this.....then WHACK.........WHACK!" But knocking sense into some... is an excerise in futility.:(

    Ain't that the truth. I am slowly beginning to realize that there are people who deserve my advice and sympathy and there are people who will never listen anyway so why waste my time.

    I try to focus on the good too, easier said than done, but that's life. I just try and remember "Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". I must be super strong by now, but mushy on the inside. ;)

    I haven't been called anything to my face... but I am sure behind my back there have been things said. I was once flipped off when I was driving, I still am upset cause the other guy was not following the road rules and if I know any better I should have been the one to flip HIM off. But I kept my cool and wish I could have pulled him over and said something sweet to make him feel bad about flipping me off. GOSH!
    Keep it cool:):):) Hugs!

    I wish I could learn what you already know Starty. For me the problem is seeing something that is wrong and walking away, I can't do it, I've tried. I have started to get better, but every once in a while the urge is to great and mean Alty comes out. It gets me no where, so I don't know why I continue, it's just my personality, and I usually realize my mistake later, when it's already to late. Maybe I'll grow out of it, any hope of that? ;)

    No chance of that Starty, I would never do that to you, what do you drive, just so I know. ;) LOL.

    I've got to run, time to do something physically productive, not just mentally, not that I'm mental or anything, just saying.

    Take care Starty, and Stringer and EVERYONE! I'll be back later to amuse and entertain. That's my goal for today, haven't started yet, give me time.
