I'd rather go hunting with [censored] than driving with George? Or was that Ted?


Oh this is too tempting. It would never survive the JUSTUSS test though. Darn! Biting tongue...

Wow Todd! 20%? I think it's the Maker's Mark that makes the difference. Don't stop the treatment program! (At least for tonight).

larousse,

Sorry to hear that BF now is X-rated. Do you have any plumbing problems in the house? I think nams had a good plan.

For my case, I have wondered during this time if I might not be the biggest threat to my M. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is what comes to mind. But I think I keep trying to tell myself to be patient. I won't try to get my feels for WW back. I think it is good what all has happened. I don't feel like we are trying to salvage anything. I feel like we are starting from scratch. In that sense, the A doesn't really make any difference. I am trying to simply be a good husband and honor gemela as my wife and let nature take its course.

DDs went to a birthday/halloween part for a friend last night (was for adults too). Gemela had worked all week on the Halloween costumes. Well the DDs definitely set the standard. Her time and effort really showed.

I do believe that it is the Maker's Mark. My docs disagreed but what do they know? Honestly, I was hoping for more than 20%. I told the paradox that. One said the range in his personal experinece in a short time frame is 0 - 80%. I told him I wanted to be like the 80% guy. He said that the patient's tumor shrunk 80% the first month after radiation and by the third month was essentially gone. Yep, he was my hero. I wanna be like him. Then the doctor added: eight months later he was dead. I decided I had followed him long enough. Hey doc, are you sure mine is not closer to 15%?

Trust me, they have no sense of humor.

Pio - if you EVER get tired of your daus, you can send them to me....they are GORGEOUS.

I figure, I'm already the old woman who lives in a shoe...what's two more kids, right?

(SHUDDUP JEL)

Really, they are lovely....Gemla did a wonderful job on their costumes and makeup!

I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Pio, I showed two of my boys your girls in their costumes & the 12 year old says "I'm surprised they dressed like that, usually at that age they want to be princesses. They look cool."

I just checked my match account & a guy winked at me so I checked out his profile. He says he likes a lady to be a lady but a real tramp in the bedroom.

I think I'll wink back. I'll bet he's a real catch. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Pah leeeze <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I have a friend who put her profile on match and a guy wrote her and said that he like her profile because he likes a woman with "junk in her trunk". Some guys have all the luck. I wish I could be so clever.

I edited my post so there would be no misunderstanding. JK, as I wrote earlier, means Just Kidding. Men can be such idiots.
