A Need To Process Our Experiences

[HappyArmyWife]

Okay, serious question: I honestly do consider you guys to be family. It's something that just sort of developed through the years, and it does feel that way to me.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Yes i do, I grew up in a house where my family didn't want much to do with me, so i kind of made my family as i went along out of people who i came to care about deeply. I tend to seek out parental figures for advice and comfort.

Hi all.

If you'd like a little chuckle....

The Guys' Rules

We always hear "the rules" From the female side. Now, here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules! Please note ... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
-------------------------------------------------------------

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both! If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can -
to give them a bigger laugh.[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]

I was mad that the hubby would not get me something nice, so I wore that.

Anyone have a link to the instructions on creating a CF Character?

I went through the CF Character link/icon at the top of the page, bought 5 things, and still no character is showing up.

LOL

It's fun when they break out of those manly man molds.

 

[MsJL]

Okay, maybe these are some of the reasons I'm divorced...

Too much of those "men" things are akin to my own personality. I've actually said most of these things.

Such as:

Women are NOT mind readers

Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Crying is blackmail.

Come to me with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what I do.

A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

Anything I said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void at bedtime.

I won't dress like the Victoria's Secret females. Period.

If something I said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.

You can either ask me to do something or tell me how you want it done. Not both! If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

If I ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," I will act like nothing's wrong. I know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

Don't ask me what I'm thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, especially the shotgun formation - which is, like, totally for wimped-out lines - and the Jets year or lack of one, and FOOD.

You have enough clothes.

You have too many shoes.

Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
