I'm guessing there's more numbers past the .4 but I could be wrong.....

also I suspect that Jesicca Simpson, Joss Stone, and a few others are made up members but I could be wrong.....

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I must be the luckiest man alive.  I got a sports car last year and an arcade cabinet this year.  When my kids are a little older, I'm getting a boat.  My wife never tells me no.  She's also the biggest user of the arcade cabinet.  If scientist ever become proficient at cloning, perhaps I could sell copies of her.

There's always a catch

I'm really sorry.  For the record I don't know that guy or his wife and I'm just trying to bring a laugh and not call his wife ugly.

Wow!  A thread where *I* get to make some popcorn.

 :D

BTW, some people will continue to hammer you into the ground if given only half a "free swing" to begin with.  This is not a male or female thing.  A friend of mine is a submissive husband.  His IQ is probably a good 30 points higher than hers.  He has no respect for himself because of it and an uncontrollable pre-teen son who senses it. 

It's not a pretty sight when things are out of balance and respect needs to go both ways.

I read somewhere the other day that there are thousands and thousands of battered women in the world. I was not happy at all when I read that because I have only had plain ones. :P Are there different kinds of batter like a beer batter?!? Are there recipes available?? Can someone provide links for me please.

and I thought you were making that number up....  ;D   so that means (out of 8243 members) that 5308.492 are men and 2934.508 are women..... 

Err, that's a ratio, not a percentage, so out of the 8243 members, 126 are women.

There is no such thing as a rhetorical question.  The only question that's rhetorical is the one not asked....or is it answered?

Why'd you ask this again?

I wish someone would offend me.  Everyone gets offended these days.  I feel like I'm missing out.  :(

I'm freshly married and my wife let me build the first 2 cabs before that.  we'll see how it goes after that.

Cabinets are like oral sex...once your married your not getting either anymore.

...good? ;D

(BTW I just got married a few months ago, and the wife is fine with my cabinet/control making thing just contingent on us getting a bigger place...the apartment isnt cutting it spacewise)

seriously though....how can someone SO firmly beleive that THEY ARE RIGHT about anything that they feel they can push it on others?

I just don't understand the world.  Marriage is a comprimise but life isn't?  just amazes me how stupid people are. 

btw...most people call "yellow" hair blonde..but my 3 year old calls it LELLOW.  so I don't mind.  call it what you will.  it's your RIGHT to have any kind of opinion about my hair...and I beleive you even have a right to express that opinion to me or anyone else you feel like.  Please...as far as I'm concerned....continue being a free human being.

but what about the oral? mine's still good.  ;)   ( oh I appologize if this offends anyone...ya whiney babies)

I knew I was no good at offending people.  Nice to know that all is well in the world again..... 

but what about the oral? mine's still good.  ;)   

but is it good enough to satisfy Necro? That is the question now that he's not getting any from his wife.

Don't laugh... I have actually had customers tell me that before  ;)

Had a classic one a few nights ago.... user couldn't remember password to log in so she could use the attached scanner....  told user to come down to the helpdesk and she could reset her password in Active Directory....user didn't want to do that so she asked me to move the scanner to a different computer.... well duh... you still can't log into a different computer on the network to use the scanner

To get back to the original point of this thread (and yes, I know I'm late coming into it) I think there is one fundamental reason why men in there 30's have a problem sometimes getting wife approval.

The reason is this: Women grow up, men remain teenagers. (At least, that's what my wife tells me - okay dear, whatever!)

Yeah... I've done my best to perfect the seem-to-be-interested-while-focusing-elsewhere technique. You can't just parrott back what your wife has been talking about if she grills you. You have to have a frew generic phrases of comfort in your pocket to use to show you "care."

What men want; to resolve all problems.
What women want; to share all of their problems without resolving them. 

The best way to cope with that is to use the technique I mentioned above. I'd feel bad about it, but she just wants and understanding soundboard... since I don't understand anyway, I have to fake it.
