Litiquette VII

< No tough love please. I promise, I’m tough enough on myself already.

This^.

< Take something off my plate. >

This^ might be nice, but I'm such a packhorse I don't think it ever occurs to anyone I might be overloaded.

The best thing for me is: Don’t help. >

I'm going with this^ one!


(It seems I've lost the ability to think up my own answers. )


Eh. I usually just fight my way through, with occasional breaks to *hot mess* while curled tightly in a ball in a corner.

Do not touch me. Do not offer empty assurances.

Unless you are just looking to loose a limb.

I have just the knife for the occasion.

I'm a fan of Appreciative Inquiry
on account of how I like when people don't freak out from stupid things

I just looked this up and my whole mind is blown.



(Also- Hi, Enny!)

 

[blulilacgrl]

It all depends on the situation and what In struggling with. I generally know what I need and who to go to. I have Hubby when I need hugs and sweet. I have 2 friends that aren't ough love but will talk straight with me. And another friend who is definitely tough love and the proverbial smack on the ass (although he will occasionally come up with really great bribes) and won't accept any of my whining.

Teeth will work if one doesn't happen to be prepared for organized mayhem.

…….

I wanna be organized for mayhem.

…….

Corbal, do you give classes?

 

[Endless_Night]

I also had to look up Appreciative Inquiry.

Wow.

The premise was so alien I had to read it three times. And being a complete and utter problem solver type I'm still not sure I really wrapped my head around the concept.

*waves at Trekka*

I was talking with a friend a few nights ago, she was on a full on rant about why hasn’t her husband called about this or reset a clock in the house.
And I looked at her very baffled and said “why don’t you just pick up the phone and call?”
“Oh sweet women, there’s just something I don’t do, and calling or making appointments is one of the many.”

And I tried SOOOOOOOO HARD to bite my tongue, so very hard. But it just slipped out.
“Okay, well ..... (long pause and I’m smiling) .... zip it then, seems like an easy fix though to just call and be done with it all.”
“Nope. I’ll just bitch.”

So!
My question is: Do you and your SO have assigned duties in your house?
And if you’re quite capable of doing said job/chore that they do, ever go off on why it’s not getting done. Cause a shit storm throwing shoes, breaking plates or alerting the whole house because you had to take out the trash and it’s not “your job?”

 

[QuietCanadian]

You know me, just throwing shoes all over the place! I've never been much on assigned duties at home. Like there would always be things that I might expect to be "mine", like the taxes because that's what I do for work, though what if I had an SO that was also a tax person? Oh, one can dream. I'm not the best at keeping things clean. Tidy? Sure. Getting it the vacuum, not as regular as most likely would, but I wouldn't not do it or get mad at anyone if they also didn't and I had to. Like whatever, no big deal.

The only thing that really irks me is an untidy car. I don't get angry, but like a bottle rolling around on the floor or dust all over the dash. So I think that will always be a me thing, but only because it frustrates me when it's unkempt, not because I'm angry someone left it that way. Well, just a little bit of the last bit.

 

[GiggLeGasm]

I'm the only one - but
I do pay someone else to do things that I consider guy things
weekly lawn maintenance
snowplowing the driveway
it's not that I won't do them.. it's that I

ok.. if I can pay someone else to do them.. that's how it's going down

oh.. and I do my own taxes
:::wiggly eyebrows:::

 

[Trekka]

the whole entire reason i blow that man is for help around the house
shit ain’t free

So...your saying GG needs to line herself up a stable then??? lol


I'm here on my own. If there's any way that I can do it myself then I will. But I've learned when I need to line up some help or pay someone to do vehicle repair or major household plumbing or electrical work.

we're totally going to need to change the definition of "plowing the driveway"

Ha!!! No doubt. You'd not be lacking for applicants.

Oh, hi there. I'm pretty alright at snow removal.

 

[GiggLeGasm]

Oh, hi there. I'm pretty alright at snow removal.

oh sure. it's easy to say that at the end of the season...

but could you edge my flowerbed?

 

[tnman03]

Is that all? No problem, how large is your yard? Mowing, trimming, and edging are all about the equipment and having a truck and trailer to get from point A to Point B with.

Now using a push mower and hand clippers is a whole different story.

 

[QuietCanadian]

I could, yes. I'm quasi-handy. It's way more attractive than it sounds.

 

[Trekka]

C’mere.

I sometimes feel I'm the only female poster in this thread without a Lit harem.


Is a male harem still called a harem?

I. Do. Not. Know.


Aaaand I'm too lazy to google.

 

[investor2020]

"reverse harem" seems to be the technical term . . . but I think "stud farm" may be more appropriate.

 

[Rapha_79]

Afternoon all. I previously polluted this thread under the account Rapha1979, which I stopped using last year and have now managed to lock myself out of. But I’m back. Lurking in the shadows.

And I see most of the same faces are still here. So that’s it really. As you were.

Intelligent but not arrogant. Sexy but not cocky.

Either brilliant flatterers or accomplished liars.

Cultured hedonists. Wicked wits.

Genuine lovers of women, not pretending so they can get into their pants.

Apropos to the above, sex is never assumed but not ruled out.

Husbands invited, especially happily married ones.

If single, there will be no expectation of exclusivity.

Beguiling conversationalists. Topics concerning the throwing, hitting, or kicking of a ball does not qualify as conversation. (NOTE: It wasn’t her sexual prowess that spared Scheherazade’s life, it was her irresistible confabulations. Schehimazades welcome.)

I thought men on Lit had harems and women had stables.
