Amusing, yet sad at the same time.

Oh well, such is life.


Well, let's not discourage them!

That SD is because you are a man and most men do not like being waited on. When a man wants something it doesn't really even occur to him to ask someone to get it, they just do it themselves. You do point out something I didn't say though which is quite true, most of the times I didn't mind. I loved her, its no big deal, not worth talking about. But there were those times where I didn't feel like it but did anyways or didn't but said no in a way that wasn't pretty much going to make strife certain. lol See what I mean? That is what I'm talking about. And it doesn't even have to be to the store, there is always the laying in bed and she just "needs" some snack and would you get it. You know the smile and batting of eyes... lol

I don't mind that sort of thing. Whining at me never did much. Yes, I will get to that project you want done. Please there is no reason to remind me of it every six months.

If it makes you feel better about your failures to think long term relationships become sexless loveless prisons fine...I'm not going to try and change your mind...except to say both my husband and I were products of long term happy marriages where we learned the skills of keeping a relationship alive...everyone is not as blessed...And Crabby if women in 2013 need to smile and bat their eyes...or whine to make a man do their bidding...I think I'd put a bullet in my brain...which probably if you were married to me you'd suggest I do!!!

Look at the trend in grey divorces. Nearly retired, or baby boomers who after 30 years of marriage decide they call it quits. There was a thread a while back that discussed the trend.

Grey Divorce

Grey Divorce
I think it has more to do with the advent of Viagra!!!

Ah! I'm back form a harrowing journey to Margaritaville, in which I answered the pertinent questions of can I drank a 60 ounce Margarita.

Then answer to that question, is Si! And I don't know how I got home.

Sarp ja1myn.

I'm wondering whether to do some carousing on the town myself Frog but I got some work to do tonight and tomorrow. Almost 3/4 of the way through a chapter, but I'm having block. Maybe whiskey and some socializing will unblock it...or it might just make it worse. I don't know.

I don't know if it'll solve your block problem, but since I had that giant margarita I think I solved all of my problems until I wake up the next morning and I have to down some ibprofen.
