Bare bottom, I do believe. Not that I would look or anything.


I ... don't think so?

Pretty sure there is one from Jurassic Park.

Ahhhh, I got confused.

What is about men and old tools?

My SO just acquired a tool to remove tricky nails. It's pushing a hundred years old and is made of malleable iron and forged steel. It weighs at least five pounds.

You would think it was the holy grail.

Men.

By how heavy the tool is, you know how good it is.

Also. The SO says it stresses him when I lose my temper.

I feel like this is new information.

That tracks.

How? How is that new information?

The Fly. (1986)

Seems Halloween horror appropriated. Plus, I like Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.

This was one of my favorite horror films when I was a kid. I've liked both of them ever since.

 

[Endless_Night]

I . . . am not sure.

I guess it was unclear to me how much it impacted him? Or that it impacted him - aside from in the moment - at all.

 

[UncutJimmy]

I bought a throw pillow with this pose of Jeff Goldblum for a white elephant gift. People actually fought over it. It was hilarious.

The originals from the late 50s were lovely as well.

And way less graphic body horror.

this the one you mean?

Look at you throwing out the pop culture knowledge!
I’m impressed.

It’s the feel, the design, the history. Finding a rusty old tool that still has purpose or can be restored is like pulling the sword out of the stone.
A new generation of handcrafted knowledge and experience being handed over.
Think Frank Frazetta but with a wrench instead of a sword.
So much better than a cheap piece of Chinese garbage at the big box store.

My words exactly.

Ah. I see.

My words exactly.

It just is!!!

 

[hotwords229_A]

It just is!!!

A stoic response doesn’t equal an apathetic one.

 

[Endless_Night]

Stoicism doesn’t equal apathy.

So what you're really saying is that I'm a monster.

Okay. That is probably true.

Eesh.

Eesh.

Don't stifle the rage. It will explode someday. I think of myself like a pressure cooker. The steam needs a slow release or I'll end up in jail.

Eesh.

I’m definitely not saying that. Maybe a sexy Mummy woman monster, but that’s an entirely different conversation. And image. A hot, sexy image.

What were we talking about? Oh yeah,

I was also hoping you’d quote my rewrite post not the original. It seemed more what I actually meant.

This is . . . entirely true.

Besides. It is not like he couldn't have mentioned it before. I mean, it's difficult to work through things if there is no communication.

Speaking to all men everywhere.

But that time isn’t when the rage hits. It’s a little later on, is it not?

It sucks when communication goes one way. How many times do I have to say "Please stop putting your shoes in front of the closet door?" Then he's all shocked when I throw the offending shoes in the trash in a fit of rage, like this information is new to him.

I have a deep love for vintage and restored objects, but also a very wide practical streak.

So while I do love my old, restored planer…I used an electric one when installing a whole wall of pantries. And when I needed a tool to excise stubborn screws, I went to my local hardware store

Has he met you?

Ok, this I get.

My husband gets antsy at the grocery store, so if he’s with me on a day I didn’t just order online I feel a lot of pressure to be fast and not get distracted. Which is not ideal because when I’m in the mood to cook and create, grocery shopping is something I can enjoy. I like thinking about what to make and doing a bit of exploring of aisles or ingredients as I create the recipe in my head. Him being there, even if he’s not actively rushing me, kind of kills any of my inclination to peruse and experiment. Colors the whole experience for me.

There's the Muscles I know and love.

Actually, I'd rather not, if that's okay. What you said was super valid.

With me, if we are close - and possibly if we are not - you know exactly what I am thinking. Not everyone is like that. And while stoic is not an excuse for not verbalizing, it is indeed a valid personality type and response to stress.

I should take that more into account.

And possibly nudge for therapy.

Therapy all around!

Hmm. Often lack of communication may ping my temper.

I am a minefield, apparently.
