Its all the men that are "visiting" during the day while you're at work.

They have to take a shower after leaving the money on the dresser and before returning to whence they came.

Of course, that's just a theory.

:p

Jess, plz don't kill me.
My job doesn't pay shit so gotta make that money somehow. hehe
Think of how many towels have to get used. One to take a shower before, one for cleaning up the mess during / after, and one to take a shower after you are done. So that right there is 3 towels. After so many men a day, that seems to add up. :haha:

Lets set the record straight.

First of all you don't do the laundry so why worry about it.

I do when asked. You just constantly feel guilty about asking me to do shit despite me begging you to tell me what needs to be done.

Second you should be happy we are clean.

I am happy……and clean……..and can use the same towel three days in a row.

Third maybe if we weren't cleaning up dog piss off the floor then using the towel to dry up the wet spot the mop left ,there would be less towels??

Who the fart is using clean towels to do this?????

Are these the same towels that are on the love seat/recliner/sofa each day?

I love you babe! :D

however, any man who does things on his own without being asked is clearly spending too much time on chores and not enough time paying attention to his woman

Are you kidding me? I do occasionally ask you to do the laundry, I leave notes on your beer of things for you to do. You procrastinate so much that I come home 8 hours later and they're still not done. You can't deny that now can you? :laugh:
Yes I use towels to clean up the water in the floor left by the mop after cleaning up dog piss. Sometimes I use the already dirty ones, other times I use clean ones, seeing how I wash towels every day sometimes there aren't dirty ones in the hamper.
I love you too sweetie, now quit your bitchin. :D

Well that’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it? Yes you post notes (bless your heart) but lets be realistic shall we? Out of say…..hmm….five things on a list, one of those things may get rolled over into the following day. I will say you are correct, I procrastinate and I love it.

Nope, not til I got home at 8pm. 2: wash the sheets, yes you did do that. I give you credit for that. 3: do the dishes, still there that night when I got home. I left them there, and you did finally do them the following day. 4: clean off the tables, again still messy when I got home, you did do them the following day though.

And for the boom-boom thing all I have to say is I'll take it when you're sleeping. hahaha.

Lord.. it's really quite funny to hear you say that she would get cut off from the boom-boom and think that I know another person that says the same thing.... I laugh when he tries to play that card too...

When we all know who runs the schedule of the boom boom..... If we say no.. it's a no.... if you say no.. it only takes a few minutes to convince you of yes.... ;)

As for the towels..... Billyman.... be thankful that she is in your life to give you the opportunity to have started this conversation...

And jess... Might I suggest a book to read...../ The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura Schlesinger (sp) ... I have this book and I will admit that I have not read it all or even a lot of it... but what I have read is funny as hell and allows you to take a different look at how you should and should not treat a man...

It's hard to find a good man, not hard to keep one.

I was laughing about the notes on the beer.... sounds like something I would have done... I sent Mudflap to the dr. with Q-cards of things he needed to ask one time... at the time it seemed like a good idea, but now looking back it's funny and probably a little neurotic...

Screw lists - take care of shit as it needs to be done, on sight. Both of you. (Not an admonition, just suggesting...don't kill me!)

If ya think about all the idle time we have on any given day, it won't really interfere with life. We spend more time staring at monitors/TV's/books vaguely bored and just going "blah" whilst calling it quality activity.

Secondly, do the crap together when possible, and you'll have turned a chore into meaningful time to talk. Less enmity over chores too. :)

As for boom-boom...older I get, less I just absolutely have to have it. My present point in life, both hormonally and mentally, leaves me not quite desiring it that much. Woman crawling on me to try and entice me into it is a turnoff; the inherent manipulation in a way kills the fun altogether. Consider your theory compromised, if by an eccentric. :p

In any case, you two have both got to live there, you have responsibilities extending to a kid, and you chose to get the piss-filled puppy. Living in a slum will destroy your happiness as surely as the issue of using intimate acts for leverage. Clean and orderly houses cause less aggregate stress, I've finally learned.

Billyman

02-03-2005, 02:30 AM

Hehe, pretty cool huh babe? Let’s let the cat out of the bag shall we?

I started this thread to see what reactions I would get and to get a little post activity going from others. Everybody likes to look into other peoples lives especially when there is “dirt” and “shit flinging”. The towel thing is for real but it’s not an issue. I simply asked about it months ago and the reasons for the usage was reasonable enough and the subject was dropped. I didn’t tell Jess I had started this thread until after she had replied the first time. After that, it was a for “shit-n-giggles” type thing. Some of the “arguments” are real, some not, some exaggerated and some with info left out (like the lists and not doing stuff thing…….this was in reference to ONE day when I was sick).

The replies have been awesome and the advice too but the word ‘arguments’ above is in quotes for a reason. Jess and I rarely ever do so. I don’t like to argue and rather discuss…….it leads to better understanding this way. I’m open to her when something bothers me and open it for discussion and I encourage her to do the same and she does well at it (except that time of the month) but an overall champ. We sometimes nit-pick each other for fun, pick on each other, laugh at each other all the while loving each other.

Each night for the past 6 months has been relatively the same. We sit on the couch together and talk when we aren’t too tired to talk. More often than not, she’s had a hell of a day and she lays in my lap and I pamper her……..stroke her hair, rub stuff, kiss here and there softly……..tell her I love her…….the favors are returned when I need it. Jess I work together on a daily basis when it comes to finances, our daughter, the house and its cleanliness and everything in between.

Jess and I are in no way perfect but we seem that way together. It’s truly amazing to be in a relationship where just about everything clicks. Most of that comes from communication which I have pushed since we first started talking online close to a year ago. She’s adapted well to this whole new form of relationship. Madison is the daughter I never had but some how is mine…almost…….my baby girl to say the least.

Jess and I are scheduled to be wed on June 4th 2005 (if nothing happens that we have to change that).

I can hardly wait.

I don't think she quite gets this whole life thing, PB. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that she doesn't even know herself well enough to do much about her own failings. She's ignorant, blindly opinionated, hateful, and uses the weaknesses of others as a cottage industry to get by. She revels in the fact that she has done it with no formal (or even in-depth) study of the material. Ultimately, it's my stance that moral ambiguity is damned simple and quite effective if you wish to practice it. She does precisely that, and it disgusts me.

My mom has better values and advice than this woman.

I hate Dr. Laura. I'd rather watch Oprah.

OK!!!!!!!! I never said I was in love with Dr. Laura... I simply recommended a book that I find humorous and an interesting read. The book is about not being a stupid women that ruins her own relationships by doing the stupid things that women do something... the beginning of the book talks about men and how they are generally easy to please... If I'm not horney.. make me a sandwhich.

I got the book bases on a joke between Muddy and myself. I bought it on our anniversary as a joke more than anything and told him i'd read it incase it had some pointers... so far i haven't read much.. but what i have read was entertaining to ME and I would recommend it to another woman.. especially one getting ready to get married.....

Part of the reason that I posted about the book to begin with was the name of the book... not the author.

Well, bud...that was a distasteful bit of hypocrisy ya wrote. The older you get, the more you seem like the type of person to just hold a gun to someone's head and go "You know I'm only kidding when I do this, right?" Not good. Isn't even particularly dignified. Cool your damned jets already before they melt down and take you with them.

You don't know the damned answers any more than we do. You contradicted yourself logically as well, BTW - if any of us knew the answers, we wouldn't be over-analyzing. In my case, it's for my own intellectual amusement. Posting potentially erroneous conclusions on the internet may piss people off, but the alternative opinions are worthwhile on what occasion I get them.

You lost your ability to complain about my seemingly "factual" presentation the second you opted to go with the whole brutal honesty/factual presentation effect. Pot + kettle = fux0r. ;)

Kol isn't pathetic. All things considered, humans are relatively equal; differences lie in the demands placed on them by other people and/or life. In that context, what he does isn't fulfilling to you. Hardly makes sense to chastise someone else for not perfectly satisfying a desire when you've the ability to either do it yourself or look elsewhere.

That said, you've no right nor responsibility to put his dirty laundry online, as you seem to have done. Post your own shit, dumbass; let him fix his. :)

As for the STFU thing? I'd suggest some serious self-analysis of the liberal kind before you think your posts adequate. I've seen more articulate and meaningful online writing from people half your age. If namecalling is more justifiable than a pedantic lifestyle...by all means, enjoy your monopoly on it.

If you aren't trying to be overly judgemental from the get-go and just take the knowledge one small chunk at a time, you'll probably find some decent shit to walk away with.

I just don't like her, though. :)

It just cracks me up when people call in to her show and from a twenty second snipet from their life, expect her to solve all of their problems for them. The callers are at fault for that. But, unfortunately, I think Dr. Laura actually thinks she can too. Scary.

I've listened to her show a few times and even though some (most) of her advice is good, she bugs the crap out of me like she does you.

Billy does have new responsibilities, but in my eyes that doesn't change him.
From what I've learned of him over the past year is that he will say what's on his mind, whether anyone likes it or not. He is brutally honest, but that's one reason I love him.

To please the court…………..errr, whatever:

If Simon was to have made that quote six months ago, it would have much merit. At that time there was a lot of changes and quick ones at that. I was stressed at one time although I don’t show my stress as most people do. Very few people know I’m stressed about stuff unless I tell them. However, now-a-days, initial adjustments are done and now I just live every day as I always have…….one day at a time. I guess I have as much stress as anybody but nothing abnormal at this point in dealing with my family. Jess, Maddy and I are pretty much settled in and things are going great. I truly have not a complaint and I’ve never been happier and haven’t been this relaxed about my home life in a very, very long time. Simon is no idiot, he knows how it all works and he knows what a little time will do to fix a problem and that’s why he said what he said.

Bab’s, I have a great Life and a full one. I have a family that loves me and one that I love. I have a good job that pays well and one that I enjoy doing. When I stop and take a look around me, I can hold my head up high and say; “Hey, I’ve got it pretty good.”

My hostility goes directly to the people I just can’t stand period. But sarcasm is issued to everyone.

Well, in the future, I'll keep that in mind.

Simon, I wasn't saying anything in a bad way, nor was I hurt, mad or anything of the sort over the comment. I did not jump to conclusions or anything.
I was just defending myself. :)

If you felt attacked by my statement, needing to defend yourself, you obviously did jump to a conclusion. That's fine, we all do it. Just recognize and acknowledge it when it happens.

Billy does have new responsibilities, but in my eyes that doesn't change him.
From what I've learned of him over the past year is that he will say what's on his mind, whether anyone likes it or not. He is brutally honest, but that's one reason I love him.
And I have to agree, he is better off to have me in his life. I'm quite the catch ya know. haha.

I would hope that Billy's embracing new respnsibilities does change him in your eyes - for the better. Billyman is a good man with a whole lot to offer, but any relationship evolves over time and necessarily such evolution produces stress. How one handles that stress is the measure of a man. Billyman measures up well.

Yeah, guess I did jump to conclusions a lil. I'm bad for that :)
And you gotta admit your statement was a little bit vague. But anyways, I understand it now.
Billy is great, and does handle stress very well. As a matter of fact, I've been trying to take pointers from him.

Thanks big guy.

I think what Jess is saying about the “no change” with me is that from the beginning, even before we actually met face to face, I had always explained my feelings on communication, conversation and having all that before an argument had a chance to escalate. Contrary to popular belief on this forum, I do not like to argue and in fact loath to do so especially in my own home. Jess has, from the beginning, seen me as a laid back fellow. Calm, mellow……a person who takes a deep breath or two before he reacts. One that analyzes each and every situation before going off the deep end. Although there has been some high stress levels while making initial adjustments to my new family, I’ve seemed to remain the same throughout it all. I’ve always dealt with everything as soothingly as possible. To date, Jess still has no idea when my stress level’s were at their peaks simply because I dealt with it my own way and never showed any difference in……….well, me.

So to her, I haven’t changed, as far as being “me” goes anywayz.
