    I got suckered into watching ONE season of AI, and I rooted for Chris Daughtry, and then they voted him off. I stopped watching and claimed the show a hoax, which I think have been proved right because he is the only one who you remember from that season.

    I cannot believe I just ranted about that,

    Well yes I do agree being single is great. I do not have to deal with whining. I do not have to deal with his always getting mad over the dumbest stuff. I also do have to deal with someone who only wants sex.y last boyfriend talk about that all the time. I never had it with him. I don't also have to worry about being cheated on.
  • Apr 4, 2009, 09:17 PM

    I have to say that I barely remember being single. I've been with my husband for half my life.

    But, I do remember a few perks of single life.

    1. Not having to share the bed with someone who snores.

    2. Sole possession of the remote control.

    3. Being able to leave the toilet seat down. ;)

    4. Flirting with whomever I wanted to without feeling guilty.

    5. One night stands (it doesn't make you a bad person)

    6. Doing whatever and whoever you want whenever you want.

    I've been drinking tonight. You may want to ignore this post. :(
  • Apr 4, 2009, 11:50 PM
    a la king

    It took me some months to deal with being single (booty calls don't count).

    But now I can safely say I really am enjoying my "me" time.

    Of course, as luck would have it, as soon I've started enjoying this time by myself - I've ended up meeting someone pretty awesome. And now I'm kind of bummed my "me" time could be coming to an end. Poo.

    Being single is fun ! Here's some more

    - getting to do whatever I want, less worries
    - not feeling pressured to act a certain way and dress a certain way
    - being able to study in peace and quiet (no guitars or music blasting)
    - going down to the ballpark and being able to enjoy my fave team clinch a spot in the playoffs without having to listen to him complain the whole time about people and rushing me out early to "beat traffic" (and I'M the woman!)
    - no attachments, no strings
    - being able to return the smile to a cute guy and not feel bad
    - not having to deal with the whole "I'd be angry and jealous if you made out with or left me for a guy but if it's a girl that totally fine because it's hot"
    - easier to focus on me and my life (no distractions)

    Since we are talking about bathroom issues as one of the annoying things in a relationship, here is a play by play of the way it works, from our perspective! Don't you guys tell me this isn't how it's done! :p

    How To Shower Like a Woman:

    Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to
    Lights and darks.

    Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown.

    If you see husband/boyfriend along the way, cover up any exposed areas.

    Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental note to do more sit-ups/leg-lifts, etc.

    Get in the shower. Use face cloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah, wide loofah and pumice stone.

    Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added
    vitamins. Wash your hair again to make sure it's clean.

    Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner enhanced with real
    Passion fruit.

    Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until
    Red. Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash. Rinse conditioner off hair.

    Shave armpits and legs.

    Turn off shower. Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower. Spray mold spots with Tilex.

    Get out of shower and stand on bathmat. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel.

    Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head.

    If you see husband/boyfriend along the way, cover up any exposed areas.

    How To Shower Like a Man:

    Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in
    A pile.

    Walk naked to the bathroom.

    If you see wife/girfriend along the way, shake wiener at her making the woo-woo'
    Sound.

    Look at your manly physique in the mirror.

    Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your A$$ .

    Get in the shower Wash your face. Wash your armpits.

    Blow your nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off.

    Fart and laugh at how loud it sounds in the shower.

    Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area, probably
    With your wife's/ girlfriend's loofah.

    Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap.

    Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. Pee.

    Rinse off and get out of shower. Avoid bathmat.

    Dry off forearms and butt only.

    Fail to notice water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the
    Whole time.

    Admire wiener size in mirror again. Shake it to watch water fly off.

    Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, light and fan on.

    Return to bedroom with towel around waist.

    If you pass wife/girfriend, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the
    Woo-woo' sound again.

    Throw wet towel on bed.

    If there is anyone among you who did not laugh at the truth behind this,
    There is something so very wrong with you. :D

    If you watch closely tonight, you will see him give me a secret signal, while he's singing his song only to me. He only went on Idol so he could sing to me on TV, and all the world could hear! He doesn't care what the judges say to him, and in fact he doesn't even know they are there! Just watch, when he is talking to Ryan after his song?. he will make a hand gesture. He is just telling me what time he will be home! :D

    I have to disagree Starby... I cannot say I have seen a dirtier shower than those that woman use... you guys shed like freaking dogs!! I mean, there is hair everywhere! I remember when I stayed at my ex's dorm room, and used her bathroom, it was almost as if Big Foot had shaved... just nasty (now, granted, four girls shared the bathroom).

    If I could I would permanently remove every hair on my body from the neck down. :D Would make for a more painless future.

    I wondered how long until the complaining about all of the hair in the drair would come up... It's one of my partner's biggest pet peeves...

    Along, with all of the bathroom countertop clutter that belongs to me. Another of his pet peeves.
  • Apr 7, 2009, 07:09 AM

    Bathroom clutter is right! I don't know how many freaking hair utensils it takes to make your hair look good... hair dryer, curling iron, hair straightener... am I missing anything (and of course they must all be plugged in and going at the same time)? The 80 different lotions, hair chemical bottles and such everywhere... AHHHH
  • Apr 7, 2009, 07:15 AM
    Justwantfair

    Yep, that is about the story I hear about once a month... but at our house the only things allowed to be on the countertop are the hand soap and toothbrushes... that is it!

    On days when I use a curling iron or hair dryer, he goes nuts because they will still be out after work because I can't put them away hot. Geesh, you men.

    I can't possibly be the only girl that actually cleans the hair out of the drain when I get out of the shower?
  • Apr 7, 2009, 07:39 AM
    Romefalls19

    The hair products kill me! I like things put away neatly. So maybe the woman on here can explain a few things to me.


    1. When you take off your shoes, why is it so hard to put them back into the closet? They have friends there, they like it there, I promise.

    2. How many different hair products are needed? I mean, hair spray, hair gel, hair gel for curls, hair gel for frizz, hair gel for the Monday of the third month and 4 week of the year! Come ON!

    3. How many different types of make up need to be applied daily? I sometimes wonder if my fiancé actually has a face.

    4. Why is it that guys can shower, get dressed, watch a TV show and be ready to go, before your hair is even done?
  • Apr 7, 2009, 07:47 AM
    ZoeMarie

    Oh boy, well for starters, I can be ready to go before my husband if I need to. I don't speak for all women, but 5-10 min in the shower, a little bit of mousse for my hair (when I wear it curly) blow dry for a few min. apply moisturizer and foundation.

    My shoes do go in the closet but that's because I like them in one piece and we have a puppy who, on occasion, decides she wants to eat shoes.

    1. It's not hard to put shoes in the closet. They're out of the way then.

    2. I use mousse if I wear my hair curly- as stated before- and just a smoothing milk or whatever if I'm going to straighten it.

    3. I think with makeup, less can be more. I actually sell Mary Kay and I see some of the directors that show up there looking like clowns. I don't even want to look like that.

    4. well, I already answered that one. It's just a matter of wanting to look nice for our boys though. ;)
  • Apr 7, 2009, 07:49 AM
    Justwantfair

    My partner can literally be showered, dressed and ready to go out the door in ten minutes...

    I am not even out of the shower in ten minutes!

    Don't worry Zoe, I clean up my hair but I have the weirdest way of handling my constant shedding so most of the time I don't have to clean the drain, but we do have a drain cover that stops the hair.

    Boy the joys of being single is really turning into a battle of the sexes.

    The good side of being single.

    1.I don't have to sleep on the wet patch!

    2.no more having the same argument over and over.

    3.I can talk to my friends on the phone for as long as I like.

    4.I don't have to hide my shopping bags, (no more lying about how many bargains I got)

    5.I can wear whatever the hell I want.

    6.no more going into panic mode because he says 'by the way my family will be here at 3 for dinner'

    7.I don't have to shave my legs everyday.

    8.I can put on a face mask and have a girls night in.

    9.I can stay on the computer as long as I like.

    10.I can be me.
