NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

[The Holmchicken]

Number 5, the loud sigh, is actually the sound they make when you punch them in the ovary for continually sassing you. JK. But seriously.....

[DrD]

No such thing is uttered from my lips. I am certain that while each of us has yet to find absolute perfection, we are so close it's scarey. So, shut the fuck up and go make a sammich for your man.

Suuuure. I will get right on that.

What about the words/phrases the guys use? You know... the ones that end up making us women want to walk up to a wall and start slamming our head into it in shear frustration?

To be honest, I think that not saying anything is one of the great lightning rods. I can go for hours or days without saying much. Wife #2 would accuse me of being pissed-off because: "You never talk to me any more."

I always equated it to talking to my dog. They dont really understand what you say, seldom give a shit, but leave them alone for awhile and they will tear everything up because they werent attended to.

Dr.D that is fucking hilarious b/c my grandma ACTUALLY HAS THAT CLIPPED OUT from waaaay back. She is 94 now and grandpa is dead, but she definitely went by that....especially knowing her role

I am glad you like it, Ranger JLTW!!! :D I thought it was pretty funny, myself.

The HH6 tried to give me an actual #7, I gave her a STFU. It really pisses me off when she thanks me for doing what I see as a responsibility. I do not need praise to give me a warm fuzzy, as a matter of fact, it makes me not want to do it any more. This is also what I see as wrong with the most of the US. Lets praise for doing what is expected of you, that way when you do something that is truly above and beyond, woopie, you get the same praise. Not saying that an occasional "your doing a good job, keep it up" is not a good thing, but give me a break.

Ranger Jim,
I agree and disagree. First I agree, because it pisses them off that we won't keep fighting. But then I disagree, because it is our control over emotions that ends up making them come back to us. It's just how the world is, balanced - we need them for baby-making (physical release), they need us for listening and conversation (emotional release)... ok, it's a little more complex, but not much.

I see few situations in which a woman will be beating her head on a wall in frustration, unless it's a man being stubborn over something the woman views as trivial. It is far easier to use words to actually hurt a woman, and that's a road that should not be traveled, because apparently you women never forget. Ever.

Which brings me to one of my weaknesses - talking too much. Coming here and looking at my own screenname serves as a reminder of that, and the "Desiderata," a poem by Max Ehrmann which I look to for inspiration; it begins:

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be in silence.
