Or maybe....

My guess is you took it the wrong way. (Women always see themselves 5-10 lbs heavier, too.)

As the mother of two college-age guys/little men, and the 'Dear Abby'/second mom to most of their friends, I have a pretty good read on this stuff.

First, most guys that age vacillate wildly between the emotional age of two and, well,... ten. With occasional flashes of brilliance, insight and kindness that keep a mother proud, or simply from complete despair. The thing is, they are almost always much more scared of everything/one than you could ever be or believe. And usually, the more asinine they act, the worse they are feeling about themselves.

As for the comment itself? They KNOW YOU ARE A WOMAN!!!! Either you totally blew this guy off at some point, (don't try to remember when... he imagined it, and its real for him), OR, more likely, the guy meant, "Not a girl, dude... this is a WOMAN," in which case he was actually working on being charming.

My two cents, Ginger, which in this case are worth a bit more. I love boys/men, but they suffer, they really do.

I actually rather like this insight. And, there's no way I would have come up with that idea on my own. Thanks

But still, I've got to agree with the first reaction I got from telling the story. "Too bad it wasn't a softball game, then you would have had a bat handy to brain him."

Alright. I can understand that class is scheduled for two hours, but did we seriously have to hear the story about the guy getting tazed? I mean c'mon. Some of us have tests we are supposed to be studying for. Some of us would like to take the quiz instead of listening to you ramble on and on and on. Sure, we can talk about lecture yesterday. Absolutely, let's talk about it. Here's what I gleaned from that lovely guest lecturer. She said, "We want natural human flavor." Talk about a brain emergency brake system. Mine was fully engaged upon hearing that sentence. Then I started laughing. Had to excuse myself from the room because I was laughing so hard, and I almost fell off my damn chair. When I had composed myself, I sat there thinking. Fucking school making me think when I don't want to.

Two questions came out of that thoughtful twenty minutes. First off, what is natural human flavor? And secondly (and more importantly), where can I sample some so I can decide whether I want it or not?

And, yes, I am aware of what she was trying to say, but that's completely beside the point.

So hang on a minute….. We can’t smile in class. I think this calls for a big WTF?!?!?

I mean it. Seriously. My professor walked back to look at my laptop screen to see what I was doing because I was grinning. Now, I was reading a thread about Homburg (I'm sure most know that of which I speak). I’ll grant that I wasn’t exactly studying like I was supposed to. But still. Am I wrong in thinking that I’m allowed to smile or grin in class as I see fit?

I always said our Boilermaker statue and logo look an awful lot like some things I’ve seen from the USSR days.

Ever laid down for a nap with clothes on and woken up completely nude?

Now before you go thinking that I got some, I was totally and utterly alone. The only person that could have stripped me was me, and I was passed out asleep.

My first thought was that it was cool (had a fan blowing on me). My second thought was that it was spooky. And, my third thought was that I had been sleepwalking in front of the open window dressed that way.

I know I actually WAS sleepwalking (I just don't know if it was naked or not) because I had a glass of juice poured and waiting for me when I got up.

Either I had a fun adventure while I was asleep or someone is playing one hell of a practical joke on me. Alright, who broke into my apartment?

I know it's been awhile but .....

What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We
have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A -R -D-W-O -R -K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And

K -N -O -W-L -E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,
B -U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S -K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical
certainty, that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, and
attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will
put you over the top.

I keep thinking of the movie when I see this thread.

Where did we get a football team anyway?

 

[missginger2177]

So this is completely new. Cruel and unusual punishment. He's eating bar-b-que in my ear (on the phone). He KNOWS I am up North and don't have access to such things, and yet he munches away happily anyway.

I suppose I deserve this, I mean I did wake him up from his nap after all.

Yeah, I have this mean old man torturing me.
