OH MY GOD THE PAIN!!!!!! ....Kirk

Sorry to have caused you this "pain", Kirk. But I'm sure that none of these male-oriented quotes refer to you!! So please don't take them personally. I'm thinking that for some men, though...reality bites :-)!!

After I got rid of my ex, I found my two dogs and one cat did all she did during our last two years together.... make me laugh once in a while, cost me a fortune at the doctor, demand that dinner be ready by 6:00 and spend all day in my bed. On the up side, the dogs don't snore as much as she did and spend more quality time with me and the cat does a better neck massage when he pads his claws while I'm watching the news. :>)

KIRK,

A pet eases the pain nicely. As my granddaddie told me once " A man can make a dog his friend, make whiskey his friend, make money his friend or make a woman his friend. If he makes the wrong woman his friend, he'll find himself broke and drunk, talkin' to his dog about what the woman did to him." :>)

I fixed it, Marcia. That one by Elayne Boosler doesn't make any sense. Is it supposed to be something like, "When men get depressed, they invade another country"?

My oh my. Rough place for a man in *this* thread! Here I am with a bum knee too. Reckon I'd better talk sweet since I can't outrun these women.

Thanks, Joy! One of these days I'll take the time to learn more about this webtv and how to do some things!! Elayne Boosier's quote kinda confused me too, but I just copied it as I read them :-)!

My fave is still Dorothy Parker "You can lead a whore to the library but you can't make her think". Thats the one that got me in trouble over in CF but its still my fave and hits a nail right on the head from time to time. I like some of yours too Marcia.

HA! Does anyone REALLY think that language was invented by anyone OTHER THAN WOMEN? I mean, come on, who uses it the most (women!)? Who still hasn't really mastered speaking and mostly communicates with grunts and mumbles (men!)?

-- Anonymous, March 18, 2002



I think, Joy, that there maybe a man or two out there who might agree with the fact that women do use language the most...in the form of gossiping and just plain gabbing about nothing! I do believe I've met some of these women occasionally :-)!! But there certainly is alot of "hot air" floating around when you get a bunch of guys together, also! Add the mumbles and grunts to the hot air...along with other "certain" bodily noises (and some spitting thrown in!)...well, sure makes for interestng "conversation"!! Of course, NONE of the above apply to any of the men on this forum :-)!
