I thought this was a No Gurlz club? Kind of feel like I walked into the Lady's Room by mistake. Will go back and check the sign on the door real quick... Wait, North! You forgot your dog! We groomed him for you - no charge! Whaddya mean, he used to be a German Shepherd?! ![[Linked Image from images4.fanpop.com]](http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/14900000/Sitting-Pretty-dogs-14940303-490-536.jpg)

It wasn't until recently that I really started to notice how idiotic they make men look on TV. I just wish I was smart enough to know how to change the channel so I wouldn't have to watch the drivel. kilted, my set is not connected to a broadcast signal, though it is capable of streaming movies from netflix and playing DVDs. I think it's a very good way to live.

Oh Holy hell my aching eyeballs, what did I walk into here? Do I need to defend the honor of the Lennon Sisters, here? Real men like really good music.

OK twenty four hours in the man thread, and lets take stock.
We have some Nancy Drew mysteries to read, HHH has a recent copy of redbook, and Marcos may or may not actually be Prisca in disguise.
OK then, ahhh can I suggest a rule? Unless medically or otherwise barred from doing so by an external support group of some kind, all posters must have a cold beer in front of them while on this thread.
Would that help?

Not going to help my case any to say I don't drink, is it? I do drink Dr Pepper, which drives away at least one female poster on this board.

Okay, in an unexpected development, Prisca is now reading Art of Manliness, and I think she's making a list of new things I'm going to be expected to do.

Oh, I'm glad to see Art of Manliness supports cooking: http://artofmanliness.com/2011/04/20/basic-knife-skills/I have a chicken broth going on the stove right now, actually. To take care of my sick family.

Okay, to refocus and get serious again, I offer one of my favorite AoM articles: Stop Hanging Out With Women and Start Dating Them

From the above link "If you�re over 18 and you�re still using Facebook applications to let someone know you�re interested in them, you need to be punched in the face."  "Commitment is liberating, not confining" Like this statement.

Have you noticed that it is authored by a man... and his wife? They are like mites... sneaking into the little spaces where you won't notice them!

There's the root of the problem right there. You shouldn't need a chilton - we are men - we do not need instructions! ...and you know it isn't fixed unless you have some extra parts left over. Come to think about it, that may be why my truck rattles so much. Interesting thread, HHH or triple-H.

Y'all want to see an example of a really "shoddy" man? http://forum.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2502896&page=1Poor woman had a cancer scare and dear hubby was too busy with his honey to bother checking in on her. Ticks me off and I don't even know this lady. I swear if my son ever acted like that... That's another bonus from these forums that I've especially noticed when parents/in-laws are complacent with their child's adultery. It gives us a lesson in what we should be teaching our children in terms of honor, respect, etc.

...and you know it isn't fixed unless you have some extra parts left over. Son just got his learner's permit. I let him drive me home from driver's ed yesterday. Sat down on the passenger seat of my car for the first time in ages. Felt a bump. It was a part that had fallen off from I don't know where. Has a nice strong spring between 2 plastic flanges. Wonder where it goes?   
When you can see it coming, duck!

Nah, I think it is part of the cup holder. Pushes up from the bottom so cups don't fall through. I just have to figure out if there are some screws under the seats that I have to find amidst the gravel in the carpet, or if it slides into a slot.
Now, if it was a spring the size of the ones on the suspension, those I would recognize. I have a Grand Marquis. Same suspension as police and NYC taxis. 32 years on the same platform, you have to really put your mind to it to bust that suspension. That is why we got it. Mrs. Hold snapped the anti-sway bar on her minivan. Repair shop couldn't imagine how she did it. I explained that you have to notice the speed bumps before you can think to slow down, and that typical minivan design specifications did not allow for extended air time.
