Perhaps I can translate for you...

What I was saying was "This whole thing strikes me as being lame and seems like the kind of thing that will only get worse. So if you all could just let me know when it's over, I'd appreciate it."

Of course, I was doing so in the spirit of the original post.

But it was an added bonus that it annoyed you. [/QUOTE]

I'm with her. Its like calc. I don't understand it and have no interest in learning it.

Behold the power of cheese.

Does anyone remember that game when we were kids. Everyone in a circle, and starts singing the "Farmer in the Dell", and then one kid who is the farmer chooses a wife, and they start to form a circle around the circle, and the wife chooses a child, who chooses an animal, etc., until only one kid is left in the middle, and then everyone mocks that kid saying "THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE."

I feel sorry for Flower, our poor little Cheese.

I think the key is to talk about how each of you feels about it and, if you each need different things to feel loved, come to a compromise.

It will not surprise you at all to hear that I need to hear it often and I say it often. If you have the misfortune to get involved with someone who is sentimental like me, you may have to say it more often than feels natural to you or she won't really feel like you love her and she may have to say it much less often than feels natural to her or you'll think it is just rote and doesn't mean much. You can tell someone that from you a compliment is rare but when you give one it is really a huge deal, but, if the person is "wired" to need more frequent affirmation, knowing that intellectually isn't enough to feel it emotionally.

Of course one could always decide that the other person just has to accept you as you are but if you each did that, neither of you would get what you need emotionally. And that observation comes from the voice of experience. "Hmmm, I know he loves me but he almost never says it. I'll just say it all the more to him so he can see how good it feels to hear it all the time!" Fast forward to frustrated Fugee and smothered SO.

Here's a tip. Tell your so how much you want to fuck him/her. That'll brighten a day a lot more than this I love you shit. We know you love us.

In an attempt to quash the "I can turn more bad colloquial phrases than you" marathon - Hey look what I read.

A 25-year-old Indian man has married his 80-year-old grandmother because he wants to take care of her.

"I felt she needed extra care as she is old. I can look after her better as a husband than as a grandson," Narayan Biswas told Reuters on Friday.

So my question is - why is it that he can look after her better as a husband than as a grandson? And no cracks about the sex, I've already had that conversation and it got ugly.

Oh, this is the second time someone posted this*. i've stpped trying to state rules, because that's just too anal, so take this as a suggestion: you should both READ the whole article first. young guy marries his granma- ok sort of gross- but you both missed this:

Last June, a nine-year-old Indian girl was married to a dog near Calcutta after a priest told her parents the wedding would ward off evil.

that is sicker, and no jokes about she won't have to do oral because he can lick himself....

*unless maybe serial posting of an article is an ironic way to make fun of the cliche thread.

I won't read your link, which I assume must be contrived. It is sufficient for me to know that Atticus would never post this because, at its heart, it is a slur at the Hindu peoples, and would violate Atticus' own rule about such offensive generalizations.

Lenny's still working the mean streets.

I can't speak for Paigow's Briscoe, but my wife indeed named her cat after the great Lenny Briscoe (they look pretty similar when they run).

I tend to avoid that neighborhood. Too many ruffians. OK, how about this - airport security gone wild.

Yesterday at Logan Airport, airport security screeners discovered the severed head of a harbor seal. Granted, there are no known security risks associated with severed seal heads, but it immediately raised the concerns of airport security agents.

So I have to take off my shoes, they confiscate my nail clippers but there are no security risks for seal heads?

The new Sexy Urinal by Bathroom Mania, as seen at the JFK Virgin Lounge.

Sexy urinal canned. Virgin Atlantic Airways has scrapped plans to install bright-red urinals shaped like women's open lips at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport, saying it had received complaints they were offensive.
Apparently NOW complained.
The urinal, designed by a Dutch company, was the idea of a female designer. Riordan said Virgin was surprised by the negative reaction to the plan, part of designs for the lounge, built to pamper first-class customers.
OK, I think they're cute and original. Other people think it's disgusting to pee into a woman's mouth. I agree. That said, I think the design was interesting. And there is a need to lighten up already with the hyper-PCness going around.http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle...4&section=news
