OK, thank you very much.

Now you can get back to potato talk.

Wish me luck. I'll be back...

I don't think he does want to feel superior to me though. If he did, he would take over paying the bills.


I disagree. By placing that responsibility on you, it gives him the perfect opportunity to fell superior. Maybe someone else can explain it better than me. By allowing you to do things and criticize you, it does more for his ego than him doing it himself while telling you that you are not capable.

I'll have to tell you the Thanksgiving dinner story. Remind me later.

Ok, no time for a potato.


My point was that he will be there in 5 minutes. A potato will take 6-7 minutes. You are one to two minutes shy of time. Make him something faster than a potato.

OK, that makes sense to me. If he really loved me though, why would he want to make me feel stupid when I mess things up? Doesn't he realize that I feel bad enough when I do it?

Yes he does realize that. Look, go talk to WH. This topic isn't mission critical but I can try to explain it better when we both have more time. It is 2:00AM and I want to try to get at least one hour more of sleep. Back later.

I bet the dark owl runs faster.


Yes that is true. The white owl OTOH stands his ground and fights.

BTW, the officials just left. I have to pay a $50.00 fine. The hotel I am staying in is in a very posh township here and they don't like "trouble". False fire alarms fit their defintion of "trouble". And the homeland security rep, who was a woman, said someone reported an explosion and you can guess the rest. The maintenance guy warned me to not put foil on the potato next time. I told him my buddy in SA told me to wrap it in foil. Then the homeland security woman, said your friend in where? She had the cuffs on me for five minutes. I told her, oh, you like it kinky eh? Hmm... no sense of humor at all. I need to move.

Stef - you will never see Pio use these last 2 ones.

Stef - You did good avoiding LB's really.

Have you done the EN's survey? Do it for you and as if your were your H. What are your and his top 5 EN's?

I have done the EN's survey, but not for WH. I'm still not sure what my top 5 are though. I'll think about it and post them later.

You may still have time to nuke a potato.

Don't have sex with him Stef. And do the EN survey for him. You need to know his EN's as well as your own.

I don't get it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

What's the point of having an opinion if you aren't right?

ToddAC,

The woman with the handcuffs? Don't forget you are STILL legally married.

BTW ToddAC, you get all the credit for this one. We already cannot take more than a handbag on an airplane. It cannot have liquids, gels, pastes or baby food. Now they are going to prohibit us from carrying microwave ovens, potatoes and aluminum foil on airplanes! All because of YOU and your big mouth!
