    The Right And Wrong Way to Ask A Man:
    How you ask a man to do something makes all the difference. Women think that a subtle nuance or slight turn of phrase will have no effect whatsoever on the resolve of their mucho-macho muscular moron. It does! Which is why you should always use ?would you? and ?will you? instead of ?could you? and ?can you?.
    For example:
    Do say: would you please take out the garbage?
    Do not say: could you get off your big butt and do something around here? What am I, the maid?br />Do say: would you like to go out to a nice dinner Saturday night?
    Do not say: could you please take me to any restaurant that doesn?t have the words ?burger?, ?king? or ?happy meal? in their advertising??
    Do say: would you mind watching the kids while I take a night off with my girlfriends?
    Do not say: could you, just for one night, watch the kids you helped spawn-that I never get a break from-ever! I haven?t seen my friends in so long we wear name tags to identify ourselves.
    Do say: would you take me to a movie this week?
    Do not say: could you prove to me you?re not Velcroed to the couch and actually have the motor skills to take me to a motion picture? Something without Pamela Anderson in it.
    Do say: would you like me to listen to you talk about your day some more?
    Do not say: could you step up the filibuster, Sparky? Jeopardy is on in ten minutes.
    Do say: would you consider getting a vasectomy?
    Do not say: could you even imagine what it feels like taking birth control pills that make you feel like Attila the Hun one minute and Attila the Hun?s evil twin the next minute? Do it or I?ll do it FOR you!!
    Do say: would you like to take a vacation?
    Do not say: could you move out?
    Do say: would you get out of my life?
    Do not say: could you get out of my life?
    Notice how different these two statements are. A man is much more likely to get out of your life if you say ?would?.

    A little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, ?Hey Stevie, wanna play house??
    He says, ?Sure! What do you want me to do??
    The girl replies, ?I want you to communicate.?
    He says to her, ?That word is too big. I have no idea what it means.?
    The little girl smirks and says, ?Perfect. You can be the husband.?

    Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw a woman flailing about in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man started to scream for help. A trout fisherman ran up.
    The man said, ?My wife is drowning and I can?t swim. Please save her. I?ll give you a hundred dollars.?
    The fisherman dove into the water. In ten powerful strokes, he reached the woman, put his arm around her, and swam back to shore. Depositing her at the feet of the man, the fisherman said, ?Okay, where?s my hundred??
    The man said, ?Look, when I saw her going down for the third time, I thought it was my wife. But this is my mother-in-law.?
    The fisherman reached into his pocket and said, ?Just my luck. How much do I owe you??


    A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
    Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, ?Please wake me at 5:00 AM ? He left it where he knew she would find it.
    The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn?t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, ?It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.?

    A woman is at home when she hears someone knock at the door. She goes to the door and opens the door to see a man standing there.
    He asks the lady ?Do you have a vagina??
    She slams the door in disgust.
    The next morning she hears a knock at the door and it is the same man and he asks the same question of the woman ?Do you have a vagina??
    She slams the door again.
    Later that night when her husband gets home she tells him what has happened for the last two days. The husband tells the wife in a loving and concerned voice, ?Honey I am taking tomorrow off to be home just in case this guy shows up again?.
    The next morning they hear a knock at the door and both run for the door.
    The husband says to the wife in a whispered voice ?Honey, I?m going to hide behind the door and listen and if it is the same guy I want you to answer yes to the question because I want to see where he is going with it?.
    She nods yes to her husband and opens the door.
    Sure enough the same fellow is standing there and asks the same question. ?Do you have a vagina??
    ?Yes? she says??
    The man replies ?Good! Would you mind telling your husband to leave my wife?s alone and start using yours??

    Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself nude in a mirror, after a relaxing bath. Her frustration over her lack of ability to lose weight was depressing her. In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help.
    ?God, if you take away my love handles, I?ll devote my life to you,? she prayed. And at that very moment, her ears fell off.

    A lady is walking down the street to work and she sees a parrot in a pet store. The parrot says to her, ?Hey lady, you are really ugly.? Well, the lady is furious! And she storms past the store to her work. On the way home she saw the same parrot in the window and the parrot said to her, ?Hey lady, you are really ugly.? Well, she was incredibly ticked now. The next day see saw the same parrot and the parrot said to her, ?Hey lady, you are really ugly.? The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager said, ?That?s not good.? and promised he wouldn?t say it again. When the lady walked past the store after work the parrot said to her, ?Hey lady.? She paused and said, ?Yes?? and the bird said, ?You know.?

    Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: ?Jesus is watching you!?
    Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. ?Jesus is watching you,? the voice boomed again.
    The burglar stopped again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
    The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then he asked the parrot: ?What?s your name??
    ?Clarence,? said the bird.
    ?That?s a dumb name for a parrot,? sneered the burglar. ?What idiot named you Clarence??
    The parrot said, ?The same idiot who named the Rottweiller, Jesus.?

    ...apologies blondie!!!!

    There?s 1 redhead 1 brunette and 1 blonde. Their all at the NASA space center. The redhead says to the flight technician ?I want to go to the moon?. The flight technician says she can go tomorrow. The brunette says ?I want to go to Mars?. He says she can go next week. The blonde says ?I want to go to the sun?. The flight technician says, ?Don?t you know you?ll burn up?? The blonde says ?Well then I?ll go at night.?

    MAE all,

    It's Friday evening here.. feeling a little in the 'wanting' mode to be honest but I won't go there... not tonight.
    Just had the brakes fixed on my car but they seem even worse now.. don't really understand how that can be. The mechanic told me to give it a test drive but as I live on an Island with bendy cliff roads ( Think.. 'Play Misty For Me' Clint Eastwood.. that drive around the cliffs with the ocean a sheer drop below).. I won't, will wait for tomorrow...then at least the Ambo's will be able to find me..

    Been riveted to the Oscar Pristorius case and wondering if he will get bail..

    Hope you all have a great MAE!!
    Take care
    Patrice

            MAE ALL...Where's my fork? KY's done, I've got to stick a fork in her. :H

            KY...yup I hear ya, but I know you'll stay close because too many of us depend on you. I think we've all had the KY Boot, it's kinda like a "right of passage". :h

            Mick...is there any other kind of "man flu" other than "serious"?

            Quite a lot going on around the boards last night, stayed up way past my bedtime, but I did manage to find a Canadian Thread
            ...thanks Sunshine.

            Excellent meeting with the "hockey people" on Wednesday. It's just great when everyone is onboard and compromises are made all around. Going to move the "pleasure rink", make it bigger and put a Gazebo in the middle of it.

            Can hardly wait to plant this spring. Be forewarned I'll be asking for lots of advice.

            I have an easy day at work today, relaxing weekend on the agenda, Garden meeting Monday night and COURT on Thursday. I can see that light at the end of the tunnel again. Hope it doesn't go out.:H

            Have a great AF Friday all and all to come....PPQP

              Good morning Abbers!

              Cloudy, rain on the way - oh well!
              I have a full day of work ahead so I won't worry about something I can't control anyway

              Thanks for the coffee this morning, much appreciated.
              Mick, I am sorry you are feeling 'under the weather' but I am 99% sure you will survive :H
              I have to save my waning sympathy & compassion for the big stuff :H
              My grown ADD son showed up four hours later than planned yesterday so we didi not get the chicken yard problem sorted out. Years ago I would have kicked his ass for being so inattentive but he has a wife now to do that :H
              Anyway, the girls will just have to pay better attention to the predators circling overhead ~ I wish them the best! Very cute bunnies!

              Kuya, are you OK? What's happening?

              Greetings to PQ, satz, patrice & everyone! Wishing us all a terrific AF Friday!

                MAE all,

                Just a quick post - been babysitting a toddler :eeks:

                Naw, was actually really good - she's just too sweet.

                Kuya - enjoy what's left of your summer, but don't leave a big Kuya shaped hole here too long. I understand your need for some space...you put your heart & sole into this site, and sometimes you get a big kick in the teeth back. Don't leave it too long.

                Enjoy your AF Friday all

                  MAE, my dear friends.

                  TT, I can imagine bunnies run amok is no longer sweet! We have rogue deer populations where I live. They eat everyone's gardens, and in particular love rose buds. Like popcorn to them. I just love bunnies. I had a netherland dwarf, all of 4 lbs, for ten years. His name was Bob. I miss Bob. Mick, everytime I see your bunnies I want to hug them. Clearly, I need a man.

                  Actually, I am dating, and am very, very happy to have reopened that part of my life. I'll keep that low-key while we see what develops. I feel ten years younger, though. How wonderful.

                  Mick, thanks for asking about how I'm doing. Massive whole body pain this morning again. This nerve problem is real, tenacious and debilitating. I'm getting through the days, but really really glad I have a good stock of vicodin. I need to get a solid doctor helping me, and progress through the attempts at healing - no AL, no SSRIs (substitute amoryn), then try Neurontin again.

                  PPQ, I'm excited to have a garden this year. It would be a great tangible step in my recovery - a project I have long wanted, and with regular rewards. Do you have a short growing season being far north? What will you plant?

                  Kuya, peace and blessings. Come back soon.

                  BB

                    I think we have the shortest growing season on the planet. :H

                    Have no idea what I'll be planting, will bow to the Garden Guru in that regard.

                    Can't wait to compare notes with our gardens.

                      I think you must be 'cause I think I've got your cold. :upset:

                      Home early, going to try for a nap and hopefully nip this in the bud.

                      Don't want to miss seeing my Dad tomorrow.

                        "SL...how are you doing? No we aint going to give up on you .but...seems to me that you give up on yourself every now and again..you need to get that strategy thought out a wee bit more...yes you have done eally well so far, but ask yourself honestly..are you happy about it?"

                        Hi all - been lurking few days - mick wrote the above to me at the beginning of the week and it gave me cause to stop and think, and that is what I have been doing. I know I have lost some peoples patience with my stopping and starting, and I am sorry about that, but I am happy that I keep trying.
                        Mick, you asked if I was happy about it - and I have two answers, not really sure what you were asking about...
                        so, am i happy about doing well so far, and YES I am happy, I am ecstatic! I did not believe two years ago that this woudl be possible, nor one year ago. So far in 2013 I have had wine on 8 days (out of 53), and usually less than was my daily average - this is a huge decrease, and I am delighted. I have been thru a personal hell, and achieved this at the same time.
                        Am I happy about been AF - and sadly the answer is no, and this is obviously what I have to work on. I want to be able to be an occasional drinker, I love a glass of wine, truly enjoy it - I don't like the next 6 glasses, or the next day, or the effects on my health and happiness, but I want to drink occassionally.
                        I really know how most of you feel about this, i have tried the gratitude route instead of the deparavation route, I have tried lots of things, but the last few days of thinking have let me know that I have not succeeded.
                        I am very proud of what I have achieved, and do not wish to loose this. I have toyed in the modertation camp, but don't feel that that is where I want to be. I know I have to stop drinking for my health, my sanity and my happiness - I KNOW this, just have to get rid of the want bit...
                        So that is my last few days, I am going to hang on and keep trying - and having been honest with myself, maybe I can progress more...I have not been drinking because I have slipped Mick, I have been drinking because I wanted to.
                        Thanks for listening....

                          Hiya SL..how are you?..well firstly lets go back to what i wrote..when I asked if you were happy I meant were you happy that you had been drinking..you answered that in the second part of your post ...no .in your first part you are ecstatic that you have done so well..and rightly so..not everybody can stop at the click of a switch

                          I dont really understand your next wee bit :

                          I want to be able to be an occasional drinker, I love a glass of wine, truly enjoy it - I don't like the next 6 glasses, or the next day, or the effects on my health and happiness, but I want to drink occassionally.

                          do you want to not drink or drink occassionally?
                          Must be honest ,when I started thats how I felt ..wished I could drink a couple and then sack it...I know that for me that is not possible ..I dont belong to the social drinking cirlcle..for me there was one purpose..to get smashed asap...but to be totally honest with you now,I actually dont want to drink,I can go to places where I used to drink, go to shops pick bottles up , go to pubs etc and it doesnt matter to me..I will not drink ..

                              I have already posted a daft start to Saturday's thread

                              But esp for SL (and Mick) - I only did my quit in Oct 2012 but this time it does feel different. I did love the taste of decent wine in my former life but like Mick I drank crap and I drank to also get a nice buzz (not necessarily smashed). Its just so free-ing for me now not to drink and to say - I don't drink AL. I don't feel any pangs when I go to the supermarket and walk past the very attractive wine displays - and only 3 months ago I thought that was impossible for me. I can go out to dinner with people who drink and I can also choose to do so many more things during 'wasted' hours before. Only yesterday I emailed my niece - who I will be staying with in April and told her i don't drink anymore and I can tell from her reply that she is very happy about this. No more embarassing Aunty TT, - well I will still embarass her (haha) but wine will not be involved on my part. I still face a lot of stress in work and at home, I have had some bloody horrible things happen to me in the past that I have had to let go, and I have no doubt there will be big challenges ahead.

                              Thats my experience however and I support you in your choice.
