Sorry...what in the heck happened to this multiple post thing? What is with this???

DJ -
No, I do not think I would date him.
But it has been good to have the "I was an idiot and want to come back" line. I always knew the day would come, I just didn't know how long it would take, or how I would react. I felt sorry for him - and wondered if it would be better for the boys if I did give him another chance. But Hat this point, I don't think the boys would even want him back. They liek tos pen time with him, but I think they like it when he goes to his apartment at night, and they go to our house.

Ok - today my toes are bright pink. I am planning to get my nails done sometime this week - leaving for vacation Saturday.
I have now lost 9 pounds and feel GREAT!

I used to be OPI. Now, I’m an Essie girl. A nice French with Sand Dune, Mademoiselle, or Ballet Slippers. My nails are always short. I aim for clean, filed and polished. Toes are usually Marshmallow, or some other won’t-show-wear color.

Meanwhile, I’d like to add my own question for men. How about a woman with red toenails, in jeans, a tee-shirt and a tool belt? Does it do anything for you?

I too have my own power tools. (I’m hoping to acquire a chainsaw from my father.) I do my own yard work, and am single-handedly fixing up the basement. I may even try for a ceiling. I also engage in the womanly activities of sewing and installing blinds, painting, ripping out shrubs and putting in shrubs.

Personally, I’ve got to believe this appeals so some man. Actually, I have some very sad evidence that it does. I have a bikini. I sometimes wear my bikini with shorts to do yard work. Three times now, I’ve gotten those wolf whistle/calls. 10 years ago, I’d assume it was my body. 2 kids and 20 pounds later, I know it must be my tools.

I love you guys!
You are all so good for me.

GG-
this is a good question

Any guys who want to respond?

A woman with red toenails, a bikini and a tool belt!!! Add a Texas Ranger's ball cap, ensure the tools are Craftsman, matching red lipstick and I'd be all over that. In fact I'm all over that right now! My Lord, we've created the perfect male attracting female!

This particular broad in a belt always wears a bra. Unfortunately, I've reached the age where I look a lot better in one than without one.

But, mine are usually lacy. Does that help?

And I simply love my electic drill. It's big and yellow.

Pass on the lacy, I know that stuff is stiffer that a 2x4. If support is needed I always find that the nude type works best to maintain that seminatural look that sets me off.

I can agree to all of the above EXCEPT the Texas Rangers ball cap. A girl has to draw the line somewhere. I am afraid you have truly crossed the line now Mr Harry!
I don't care if the Seattle Mariners do suck, and can not currently win a game even if they were playing against their own AAA farm team, I still will not wear a Rangers hat.

WoF05:

Gratzie on the 9 lbs, but boo hiss on the ball cap stance.

Just goes to show you that no one is perfect and the 'perfect' woman no matter how mythical she is may still lack common sense when it comes to knowing the difference between a ball club and a bald cub.

I guess it's never mattered to me. I prefer a woman who can take care of herself and a woman who has perfect long nails usually can't do anything cuz she doesn't want to break a nail. I like practicle women who don't need a man to do EVERYTHING. They may be pretty to look at but I'd get really tired of making sure her car has a full tank of gas because she sure wouldn't want to break one or can't help me in the yard cuz she just got her nails done, etc...

Buddy!

You've been in the sun too long. If I had that gal I mentioned why would I care about a yard? A car? A job? Food? Air? Water?

Ok, it would be nice if she had a hogie in her belt.

Harry S, how can you possibly be from Texas if you referred to a hoagie? Hoagies are served in a very limited area as far as I know. I love hoagies, but I'm a purist. Italian only, and please absolutely no mayo.

Okay, so I'm going to dress up in jeans, a white shirt, red toenails peaking out of shoes, red lipstick, a tool belt slung along my hips, my DeWalt in my hand and then what?

Within minutes the image is totally ruined. I'm no longer the DeWalt poster girl. Not even in my own mind. I'm now drilling masonary holes with my masonary bits, adding screws and I'm getting dirty.

Oh, yeah. I broke a nail.

But, hey, maybe WOF5, Peachy, and whoever else may be game can pitch an ad to OPI. We'd be in it with our favorite tools and a to-die for manicure.

Greengables:

Easy, I follow my nose. I am a Native Texan and all that it implies, but good food has tempted me across the Red River on many an occassion. Plus we have enough relocated yankees down here that they're now trying to teach yank as a second language in schools.

So your all dressed up and then turn to drill.... masonary holes? Baby, you need a new tool for that. Try upgrading to an impact hammer drill. WooT!

You are all too funny, I had to get in on this one.

I wish I could have long painted nails. Try doing an oil change on a 1 ton crew cab chevy or pulling out the compressor and filling the dual wheels with them. Or better yet, pull up to a gas station and fuel the pits. Oh sorry, did I forget to mention I drive a tanker. We call them tank yankers here. Yes I'm a yank!

And gals, I would do your nails the way you want them or the way they fit in your life style.

You gals with the tool belt and power tools...Go girls!

Go with the Flow,
Nice painted nails makes us feel pretty and sexy. My H feels a little like you. He found the woman that is not high maintenance, but does the maintenance. We maintenance women, are becoming more popular!
