Poor Girl.
Posted by todd Fri, 18 May 2007 20:38:00 GMT
There are several reasons for my lack of stories lately. First off, I travel too much and work for a startup company; which basically gives me the attention span of a ferret on speed.
I also have had a girlfriend for an extended amount of time. (The length of 5 girlfriends if you go back a few years, seriously.)
Now, this is a good thing(tm). It's nice having someone around, and it gives me a reason to come home instead of going out every night(ok, this is good and bad). Plus, she's really hot!(you know your girlfriend is hot when she gets hit on by women as often as men.) All that being said, long term girlfriends, especially ones who pretty much live with you..... have challenges(probably for her more than me).
Think about what this poor girl is dealing with.
At home, my skills have remained roughly constant throughout my life, this is not to her advantage....
1. I don't cook often(sammiches count). I certainly don't cook well.
2. Left alone, my refrigerator will contain beer, pizza, and ketchup within two weeks. Pizza is considered fresh until the cheese won't melt in the microwave anymore. Throwing it out earlier than that will cause me to miss breakfast.
3. I can fix anything in a house, but I can not fix it "properly".
4. I take things apart. Sometimes, I put them mostly back together.
5. I can build nearly anything FOR a house, but I shouldn't. (walls for example).
Ooh, building things. Sorry, I need to stop my list for a moment.
It's always intrigued to me how loosely defined things are in the construction world. In "real" construction this means that if things don't quite fit, you cut off a piece and make it fit. Building things is like doing a jig-saw puzzle, using scissors.
In "guy" construction, this holds true, but the implementation is different. For example:
1. This means that if it's made of drywall and points roughly vertically; it's a fucking wall. (Bonus points if the couch isn't holding it up.)
2. If my drink doesn't slide off of it when I set it down; it's a table.
3. If...say... I were to lose one of the legs of my bed while moving, calculus books are a viable substitute. (Note: Occasionally the books slip, causing the bed to cease being a table, as defined in #2)
My family owned a construction company for many years, and to this day there is a different name for "guy construction" at home. It's called, "Joe'ed".
Back in the day, Joe was the "mechanic" for the construction company. Machines broke, Joe "fixed" them.
Joe's gas tank was broken in his car. He (not kidding) "fixed" that by running a tube from the gas can sitting back seat, to the engine. (It was possibly the "back back" seat if I remember correctly. I was young.)
Joe also smoked in his car.
I don't know what ever happened to the guy(critical burns?), but to this day Whenever something is broken in the apartment, I channel Joe.
Now, I've just outlined the basic genres of my domestic inadequacy. I'll leave it to the reader to imagine the rest. Beyond the in-house difficulties life with me, I'm also obsessive enough about building companies that I often forget to eat.
The poor girl has her work cut out for her.
Now that I've properly demonstrated what "ferret on speed" means, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. I'm landing in Portland, OR.

"Building things is like doing a jig-saw puzzle, using scissors."
I still laugh every time I remember the Pinpoint "wall". That quote goes a long way to explaining why it was sort of wavy at the top.
RTLM: Indeed. The beer explains the rest.

Cheating Women. Why Do They Do It? Why do some women cheat? Can you stop cheating women? More women are choosing to cheat on their partners than ever before. This article will list the main reasons why some women cheat. 1. Revenge. Although you didn't sleep with someone else, you may as well have. You have broken her trust in some other way. Cheating women often sleep with someone else to pay you back for that dodgy investment or the lie she caught you out on. Apologize profusely and hopefully she will forgive you instead of joining the cheating women society. 2. Feeling unappreciated. Do you treat your wife or girlfriend like an unpaid nanny? Do you ever thank her for all those boring chores she does in and out of the house? What is she doing while you are playing golf? Housework? Minding the children? Seeing someone else? Cheating women often do so because they feel totally neglected at home. Show her you do appreciate her. Say thank you. Notice what has been done. Give her some help. Cheating women are looking for some appreciation and thanks. 3. The honeymoon is over. Another motivator for cheating women is that they are not getting enough sex at home. Once that sexual glow has gone and the sex becomes less frequent, cheating women look for it elsewhere. Try and put some time aside for sex. Go to bed early instead o f falling asleep in front of the TV could be all you need to do. 4. Boring sex. Cheating women often say that it is the excitement of the affair that is the big attraction. Sex at home has become boring and routine. Try and put a spark back into your sex life so that your partner need not leave home to find sexual adventure. Cheating women love the thrill of the illicit affair. 5. Low self esteem. Having someone pay attention to you can really boost your ego. Cheating women are often looking for the flattery they are not getting at home. Pay your partner some attention, flatter her, and prevent her from becoming a cheating woman. 6. No intimacy. All women need to feel close to their loved ones. Cheating women have given up on getting it from their partners and are looking elsewhere. Hugs, kisses, massages, all will make her feel closer to you. 7. No emotional input. Women need you to talk about your emotions. You may think it is worse than going to the dentist. Cheating women are looking for the emotional feed back they are not getting at home. Cheating women can be prevented just by expressing your emotions. 8. You cheated first. Cheating women are often paying back their husband for his sexual infidelity. Sexual revenge is a huge motivator for cheating women. This kind of tit for tat is only going to hurt you both. 9. Sayonara. Some cheating women have already mentally left the relationship and are looking for the replacement. Emotionally, this cheating woman has already left you. She probably isn't planning on staying. With some attention and flattery your partner need not join the lengthening list of cheating women. For More... Visit www.exclusivedatingsecrets.com
