You ain't hurt yet, but talk to me in 28 days
I find that the less I say the better off I am. Of course, I rarely follow that advice, so just try not to hurt me too bad.
Or I might start to like it.

This thread certainly has taken a turn, hasn't it?
Apparently you think I am a jerk now. I'm hurt.

And it's not my temperment that he's keeping tract of either, it's the time of availability.
Never stopped me. But it does gross some guys out. To them, I say, just because one ride is down for maintenance doesn't mean the whole amusement park shuts down.

What the hell is that supposed to mean??!! Jerk!!!
It means that I have a reminder to know when her period will be starting and she is likely to be more emotional so I need to tread more carefully and think about what I say and do a bit more. Why is stepping lightly being a jerk when someone is more unpredictably emotional than usual (albeit on a predictable schedule)? It's not HER fault, it's biology and I am trying to be accomodating.
And yes, I am a jerk, but I don't think it's for that reason.

It's amazing the cognitive dissonance....
by notverylikely inso...i'm a born in, fading, can't break away with a df or da for various reasons.
as some of you may know from posts i have made, i am pretty much a total non-beleiver is god in general and a full throttle "this is bullshit" believer for the watchtower.. i've been doing some work for a friend of mine who is in a similar situation as me with the exception that he is not sure if he beleives in god, but he does believe the watchtower is bs (he's a born-in too, his wife, his family, all his friends are wt people, etc).. so, since i have been working with him we have had some interesting conversations about the wt and their bullshit.
most of his "friends" are people i know, but he has known them a lot longer.

Dude get out of this cult.If this is how u feel and behave your living a lie.Be all in or all out .
Geez, why didn't *I* think of that. I am soooooo stupid and you are sooooo smart. Thanks for opening my eyes, I'll go do exactly what you said! Before I go, though, let me show you my gratitude for your advice about my life that you don't know anything about. Here's a nice hot mug of "Shut the Fuck Up".

This is a phenomenon among men, I think they just have poor peripheral vision.
There was a study done on that years ago. While men may appear (in general) to be messy, they generally know where things are and can find them in the midst of seeming chaos because what they are looking for is in the context of where their brain expects to find it. When it's not, there is a processing disconnect. It has nothing to do with intelligence or laziness, it's literally the way our brain is wired. You may as well get mad at a dog for being colorblind or a woman for being the reason there is a calendar reminder on my phone every 28 days that says "Danger Will Robinson!"

Things my hubby needs help looking that are usually right in front of his face:
socks, underwear, beer, etc
Really? That's....so very sad it makes me cry.

OK, I think we have all missed the real point here. I just realized it myself. It was small, yet there.
Wheres the butter? (while looking at it in the fridge)
Why the hell is HE looking for butter? Get in the kitchen where you belong and make him a damn sammich!

It's freaking amazing. Personally, I drink when I want, have a cigar when I want, have sex when I can, swear like a drunken sailor when it's appropriate, watch what I want, etc. That's ME.
These guys...we went and played golf, they were smoking (I quit for health reasons), drinking, swearing, one guy lit up a joint (no one else was near us on the course), etc etc. We've all had DUI's, one of them just got busted for buying weed from UC....but question whether or not it's the truth? OH MY GOD APOSTATE YOU'RE GONNA DIE AT ARMAGEDDON!
Of course, they still hang out with us because hey, what other dubs are gonna do that stuff with them?

So...I'm a born in, fading, can't break away with a DF or DA for various reasons. As some of you may know from posts I have made, I am pretty much a total non-beleiver is God in general and a full throttle "this is bullshit" believer for the watchtower.
I've been doing some work for a friend of mine who is in a similar situation as me with the exception that he is not sure if he beleives in god, but he does believe the watchtower is BS (he's a born-in too, his wife, his family, all his friends are WT people, etc).
So, since I have been working with him we have had some interesting conversations about the WT and their bullshit. Most of his "friends" are people I know, but he has known them a lot longer. Two of them smoke, one is DF'ed, got a DUI, loves strippers, etc, one smokes weed just about every day, most of them drink pretty heavily, go to strip clubs, etc. (not that I am against or don't do some of those things myself).
So we're all sitting around after work drinking a beer one day last week and my buddy says "this whole generation teaching just doesn't make sense and I am not sure I believe it". Pretty much to a person, the people that had been smoking cigarettes, weed, etc., earlier that day IN FRONT OF US went all apreshit about how he was going to be soooo sorry when the Big A gets here and he's destroyed and you gotta believe, etc. etc.
Later, we looked at each other and just asked, "WTF is wrong with these people?".
Amazing.
