Do women think the "new boyfriend" would be any different than the one who knocked them up ???

<sigh>

That one had a 7-year-old and after 3 weeks starting talking about about how she wanted my tats removed (NOT gonna happen), and I was going to sell my tools so "we" could get a condo, and how I would stop smoking completley......

YEH, next---if he dint want to put up with yer crap and left, why would I ???.....I'll leave too <oh, yeh--just did>

Ya know, WYMIN-----there......IS a good reason ya'all are single mothers !!!!!.....some guy knocked ya up after a night at the bar, ya have a bitter attitude and a nasty anger thing on your shoulder......and I dont need your snatch bad enough to tolleroate either the attitude, or the screaming brat spawn or your loins...it may be the center of your world, but if that little fracktard rips my GPS mounting screws out again--both you AND him are going out the truck........at 100 to land in the second lane.

Wel, girls.....College taught ya Feminism, and how you have power, and how you are in charge.........Army tought me to say "no"...please no"---then enforce it with lethal force.....ALSO taught me to be a man....and for some Wymin----no, no, no, no, no----not with Obamas deek and Jimmi Carter pushing !!!!

Guess what, beeeeeech----men say "no" too....

Some guy was tired enough of her sheet to leave her single.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Draw a triangle.

Draw two horizontal lines through it.

You just cut it into three sections.

Add one word in each section.

Top= Integrity
Middle=goals
Bottom= pleasures

We ALL start out at the bottom. Very few actually make it up to the top. Many more believe they are at the top than actually are.

Too much to type here, but those who dwell mostly at the bottom as adults are suffering on several levels.

It's difficult to provide a ladder or a boost up.


I get such a 'frustrated' vibe from many of your threads. I know some are you dealing with 'dumb as es', but others, they seem like you want to shake some sense into them...

So many lack the means to realize their purpose, they are caught up in the turmoil of their lives, their egocentric attempts to quiet their deep suffering with band aids to get them through the day. Indulging in "Pleasure without Purpose" too much keeps you at that lower level. No desire to do "More". Maturity is pleasurable, because it brings with it a sense of clarity, and because you 'suffer' less, you feel less need to engage in damaging behavior.

I'm not being preachy, I'm covered in band aids and only occasionally make it to that middle ground. But I keep trying to journey up that mountain... and help others do so as well...

Does this make sense? It may be an oversimplification of why some folks find themselves miles from where they wanted to be, but it does explain it, if you don't plot your course,don't plan don't have goals, and reflect upon them (course adjustments)...
And people tend to justify their choices...because that helps them from falling apart and realizing how far they are from where they wanted to be, or maybe they don't even KNOW where they wanted to be... and they don't see any ladders or trustworthy folks to provide cupped hands to help boost them up, or from above to help pull them up...

And it's hard pulling up people and you risk being pulled down... Or hinder your progress... but it's a choice... get to the top and * maybe shot down how to get up, or not. or keep helping others... This is seen in Buddhism (two vehicles) and I saw this at a Tough Mudder event, a wall which you need help getting up, and then you help those behind you get up, it's emotional to watch. and I see it EVERY day as I go through my day. Endless walls and challenges and I am helped up them, and I help those behind me. And hope no one steps on my head, or pushed me in front of a train...

It's more than being stupid and making stupid choices.

Ignorance IS suffering, and the deepest level.

Hope everyone who reads this has a good day. Try not to turn everyone around you into "Stupid" people. Obstacles and morons. Con artists and slackers and thieves. Most people are just trying to get through their day. Mist people just need help in some way.

Be well.

Why? Because they are women and know that they are right, you should do everything just exactly as they want you to, you're never going to be perfect and they will forever be trying to change you to whatever they think is the perfect man. non of us are in there eyes nor will any of us ever be so they just keep trying to change you.

"They are the microcosm of Mother Nature. evolution, improving? (that's up for debate) Even though they already chose to procreate with you, (you already tossed your seed into their blessed pot), you can affect the brain and "fitness" of their offspring, so they will forever try to "improve" you. too bad they tend to do so by acting batsh*t crazy thus negatively impacting their kid's fitness. so yeah, disregard what I just typed (like you don't usually do that anyway - are you SURE you aint all chicks? hairy smelly chicks with penises?)

And many are very much happy with that simple concept. Works great when you're 20 with no goals, direction, or responsibilites--not so much after a couple of decades.
But, life is pain. Anyone that sez differently is selling something.

It doesn't come intuitively, or easily.

Life is MOSTLY pain. (It's NOT 'constant pain"... ) Life , for some, is mostly fun and no worries - if you're rich, or if you just don't care...until it *usually* crashes around you or you start to age, and then life becomes a constant quest to avoid pain...

I suppose YMMV with all of this...

The trick tho, is not to avoid it--just meet it head on, accept it and beat it down.
Both my arms and hands right now look like I've been sacked up with a bearkat for a week and my hands so sore from driving posts that I can't hold a hammer, but that's my life. Persevere.

I was just thinking it'd be worth it. They probably rent it. Or you may even know someone who has one? Otherwise, I guess the options are go slower, or have a helper.

Typical female dog thinks that they have the perfect man, now I gonna change him. My wife tried to get me to sell my guns right after I got married. Nope, not gonna happen. They were here first. Boy, I know what you mean about the we and us B/S. I have one girl on the first date talking about all the we and us stuff even before I could remember her name. Eeek.

And people tend to justify their choices...because that helps them from falling apart and realizing how far they are from where they wanted to be, or maybe they don't even KNOW where they wanted to be... and they don't see any ladders or trustworthy folks to provide cupped hands to help boost them up, or from above to help pull them up...

And it's hard pulling up people and you risk being pulled down... Or hinder your progress... but it's a choice... get to the top and * maybe shot down how to get up, or not. or keep helping others... This is seen in Buddhism (two vehicles) and I saw this at a Tough Mudder event, a wall which you need help getting up, and then you help those behind you get up, it's emotional to watch. and I see it EVERY day as I go through my day. Endless walls and challenges and I am helped up them, and I help those behind me. And hope no one steps on my head, or pushed me in front of a train...

It's more than being stupid and making stupid choices.

Ignorance IS suffering, and the deepest level.

Hope everyone who reads this has a good day. Try not to turn everyone around you into "Stupid" people. Obstacles and morons. Con artists and slackers and thieves. Most people are just trying to get through their day. Mist people just need help in some way.

Be well.



I hear ya Todd....and sometimes, there IS nothing ya can do except walk to save yer own sanity.....I think worst I ever saw was Stoelting 100s....its a 3-position switch, up is freeze, down is stir, center is off....NEVER turn it off, it will freeze solid, up during the day, down at night....NEVER off unless ya want a 9-gallon block of popsicle stuck in a stainless steel bowl that takes a week to thaw...

Ya think ya can get that "never off" thru to peoples heads???.....they frack it up, ya tell them why it happened, bring a new machine, and 3 days later they do it again.....by the 4th or 5th cycle, ya are looking at them thinking "you are the reason blow dryers have stickers not to use them in the shower, which is exactly where you probably should use one. The herd needs thinning"...

and 99% of the time, what do ya hear?..."but its costing electricity"...yeh well, it cost 50 cents in power to stir overnight, and the fill-up ya just froze up and threw away was 60 bucks...Yeh, ya are a smart one, aint ya ?....THEN they will stand there and scream "the customer is right".....yeh?really? frack ya !!!....the customer is WRONG, and there is the frozen-up machine with a broken shear pin to prove it.

Buddy, I dont go near those things anymore. I would end up curled in a fetal postion crying and sucking my thumb......the last place, they eat up a manger every 6 months....Anil, Dalbor, Me, Erin, Matt---all good techs, all good managers....I have seen techs leave in as little as 2 weeks, its that bad.

Its a year next week since I have touched one, and I never will again.....and it will take a lifetime to recover from whats been seen....

Ya ever heard of a customer demanding ya buy them a $5,000 machine out of yer own pocket, and they are standing there screaming and fighting about it ???

frack THEM !!!!....I dont need that crap, not for 20 bucks an hour and not for 2,00 an hour.....Some things, are best walked away from.

<now if I would only learn THAT around women, dogs, and horses>....Airplanes and Motorcycles I learned the hard way what they are......women, dogs, and horses---thats gonna be a hard habbit to break

From all that Ive known, they ALL seem to always gravitate towards the same type of guy everytime whether the guys are good or bad. Like anything else, there are exceptions. They never seem to learn from the past...they just keep recreating the same thing over and over. And like Steve says, they are always right no matter what.

Yup. Then they complain "there's no good guys around".

There is buttercup. It's likely the guy she just turned her nose up at just because he smiled at her.
