Furthermore, she told me that she got her hair cut so that people will like her better...NO KIDDING..

It actually does look awful..

Well... not AWFUL...

But for those who MIGHT have been jealous of her looks, they have nothing to worry about until she grows it back...

Mimi,

It is all about perspective isn't it???? It never ceases to amaze me what and how some people see themselves and their surroundings.

Unfortunately, I don't have any real advice for you, as I don't have to deal with DQ's in my life at this point. The few I have met I ignored or told them "how the cow ate the cabbage." Probably not a good tactic for you but I could get away with it.

God Bless,

JL

What is the proper term for the male equivalent of a DQ?

AH? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

F-Wad? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anybody want a dog?

The DQ in our house is a weenie dog, aka food and fluid processor. Just like talking to a people DQ, I imagine, only more demanding.

People! PEOPLE! This thread is about ME, remember? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Susan, your disclaimer is a perfect example of how to deal with a DQ... loved it! Take notes, folks... disclaimers help a LOT. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mimi, I feel your pain. One of the all time great DQ's lived next door to me when I was a teenager. She always wanted to be the center of attention, which of COURSE irritated me, since I was. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> When my bedroom was re-done, she said at the top of her lungs (and I quote): "If your bedroom is missing in the morning, I took it!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I guess that meant she liked it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> She always said things like that, in that tone... in fact, everything she said was like it was the MOST IMPORTANT thing... so yeah, your ex-lax/potty problem story would probably turn out just like you think. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Pepperband, You know being a DQ can be *fun* as long as you don't take yourself too seriously. (Note to self: Stop taking self to seriously)

JL, Look at you in the middle of all this estrogen! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> You're a brave man!

Okay, WAT, this made me roar with laughter (DQ's never do things in a small way - no giggling, BIG LAUGHTER)... and then I spit my smoothie all over myself! Well, actually, it kinda/sorta happened all at once... you understand.

Note I didn't attempt to deny there was a male equivalent. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now, I've spent some time with JL and he ain't one. He doesn't think I'm one either because he likes my SO and she'd be LONG gone iffin I was a F-wad.

So, how 'bout a weenie dog DQ to match your claim to fame? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

WAT,

Hmmm ... perhaps I need a mascot... a WEENIE DOG mascot. You think? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Be good to her: Tell her she's beautiful daily. Tell her she doesn't need to compete with the Great Danes or Labs. You don't want to damage her weenie-dog sensibilities...

You two keep saying you "think" people are jealous. See, this explains why *some of us* hit the ceiling on the DQ-o-Meter...

... we "know" ... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

(<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Oh yeah, if you saw me right now in my sweats and s'pose to be Reba-hair, but looks more like Nick Nolte's mug shot hair... well... you'd understand that was a joke, son!)

If they don't know me, how can they be jealous of me!

???When FWH first began to "suggest" to OW that their affair was a mistake and perhaps they should end it, OW had a complete break down, sobbing, falling on the ground, begging FWH "please don't break my heart yet, I will have no choice but to end my life if you do." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Doe she absolubtly qualify as a DQ or what???

And he thought I was a DQ.
