"God Protected Our Home in Florida..."

by FreePeace in

i can't stand it when i hear a person saying how god "protected our house," when their neighbor's house lies in ruins.

i can prove this is pure, unadulterated, bullshit:

our home was left virtually untouched, and the house across the street lost their roof.

You may think I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May...

...perhaps even a cliche come true.

or do you see me as bromidic and bright as a moon-happy night pouring light on the dew?

you see, i'm as corny as kansas in august, and i'm as normal as blueberry pie.

Hope you guys in Florida are ok !

i will just cut and paste

amy elizabeth was born on august 6 at 3:21 pm weighing in at 7 lbs and 12 oz in niagara falls, ontario (i knew she was gonna be a canucker ) she was a quick and fast delivery (5 and a half hours).

amy had low blood sugar at birth so her blood was tested every few hours and saturday after one of the nurses came in to check her blood, we noticed that her right arm had a twitch in it.

Angharad

Congratulations Dottie & Will

Hope Amy is on the mend and she can be home with you soon

this is really for the guys, but i know the woman here will have some great insights for us stupid men so i hope y-all will offer up your best.. when the woman i am with starts to tear up or cry i feel totally helpless and useless.

this is one of the most dreaded situations i as a man can ever find myself in.

my older brother, the retired police chief, would get angry if a woman started to cry when he was writing her a ticket, he felt it was an act.

Angharad

The tears are a coping mechanism when the stress become too much

Yes, and for me personally I tend to get upset if hurt by someone, but also sometimes if I'm really angry about something, the frustration just builds up and its a release - doesn't last long though and I can rationallydeal with what ever made me angry after.

I would never cry to manipulate and would be devestated if someone accused me of doing that.

If I'm upset I'd like understanding and letting me know that you care that I'm upset even if you don?t understand why !

Indifference or ridicule (comments like here come the water works) at showing emotion just makes things worse and feel like a lack of caring, which would probably cause more upset.

I prefer that men show emotion and talk about things, rather than bottling things up and going silent, which causes confusion and concern if we dont know what is wrong and want to help

What is your Favorite Scene from a Movie?

by Sweetp0985 in

i thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.

i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.

and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.

Angharad

*That* scene in the Ring scared the crap out of me !!

Colour Purple - I cried like a baby

I like:

Monty Python - Holy Grail - The scene with the rabbit (foul beastie)... Its a rabbit you silly sod !

Monty Python - Life of Brian - How should we f**k off oh Lord

Gladiator - Final fight and then he dies and is with his family

Something About Mary - Scene where he has drugged the dog and it stops breathing (very sick, but hilarious)

I'll probably think of some more later
