I thought it was that Ryan cheated on Reese (accompanies by drug use problems), that brole up the marriage. I know that he had jealousy issues, but from what I remember of this story and I may be wrong, they were in counseling to work out those issues.

Meg, I love your Avatar!!

bala, I think what shinny is saying, is you never know until something happens. You may get married, and it last forever, or it may not. After you may spend years alone and meet someone that is really right for you unexpectedly, or it may happen a few months after your divorce. You may love being married so much, that you go looking for that new someone. You can't predict what the future will hold, you can't even predict what your own feelings or attitudes will be. That is one of the great things about the futures, everything can change, mostly ourselves.

Sorry to derail, but thought you ladies might like to read this

    After months of cold and rainy weather, we are finally coming up to summer
    and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the
    etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of
    cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger
    involved.

    When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put
    into motion:

    Routine ...
    (1) The woman buys the food.
    (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
    (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with
    the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is
    lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

    Here comes the important part:

    (4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

    More routine .....
    (5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
    (6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks
    her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the
    situation.
     
    Important again:

    (7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

    More routine .....
    (8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces,
    and brings them to the table.
    (9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

    And most important of all:
    10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and thanks HIM for his cooking efforts.
    (11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed her night off.  Upon
    seeing her annoyed reaction, he concludes that there's just no pleasing some
    women ....

Men are here, we make fire ug ug

ROFL!   Too true!  Thankfully most of the BBQing fellas I know, know enough not to burn the meat and a couple even do the shopping for it themselves - shocking I know.   Sadly, the majority of guys fit right into that description.  As Craig so eloquently said of men, "we make fire, ug, ug".

themegababe

haha Shannon that can be so true!  We had a little BBQ, just 4 of us the other night.  And the guys really did just cook t he meat. However they were wise enough to thanks us (the 2 ladies) who did all of the work!

So when I change my meez, I just have to wait awhile and it will update my avitar, right?  Or do I need to change the link in there?  haha  I'm so addicted now! I can't believe I held out for so long!

themegababe

  Nevermind.  it changed.  looks like i'm talking to myself!  

i'll  be gone for the weekend.  as you can tell from my meez!

waterlilybarb

I hope you have a nice weekend getaway.   I know what you mean about the Meez.  It does get a little addictive.   

It's a long weekend here, but I don't have any plans.  My brother and some other family members are going camping, which should be nice.   They're taking all their kids for the first camping trip of the year.  I hope it doesn't rain on them, as my brother and nephew are tenting it.  I might foist myself on someone and see if they're going to BBQ or something.  I could do with a few hours out of this apartment...though if it turns out to be a rainy weekend, I'll hole up with some movies and popcorn and make my own fun.

Hi everyone!

Here's a funny forward I got from a friend I thought might make you smile:

"Menopause Jewelry"
My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be
able to monitor my moods.

We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood, it
turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a
big frickin red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.   Dumb ass.

waterlilybarb

ROFL!  Good one!

Just a note to all the gals - Arielle sends regards.  She's busy with her last couple weeks in Israel, so we most likely won't see her until she returns to the States.

Until then - resume your activities, and PARTY ON!

Haha, that's hilarious Studio !

I always find this one hilarious, similar to yours...

Quote:

A study conducted by Blakk Frogg’s Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of man a woman finds attractive can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.

However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to prefer a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

Further studies in this area have been cancelled.

How is everyone? I've had a busy few days and haven't had much time to be on here. It was my Mam's birthday yesterday, so we went to Powerscourt which is a beautiful old mansion house with fantastic gardens. They also have beautiful shops and restaurants there. It's usually packed with Tourists, but we managed to get a seat in the Restaurant.

Then today I spent it with one of my best friends who's birthday was on Friday. We only got today to catch up.

waterlilybarb

Definitely made me LOL!  Thanks for that.

themegababe

that was pretty funny.  Thankfully my hubby will get out and ask for directions.  I'm usually the one who wants to keep going and try to figure it out! haha

studiojek

LOL that's funny! Luckily my husband's like yours Meg, he will ask - if we get desperate enough!

casper27

Lol how true
And one from the men:-

What are the three fastest means of communication?
1) Internet
2) Telephone
3) Telawoman

waterlilybarb

Cute.  Funny thing is, many guys I know are bigger gossips than the women.  I have one friend that his family keeps things from when they don't want anyone to know.  He can rarely keep a secret, so is often the last to know about any major things happening in his family, since they know he gets so excited that he tells everyone he sees - even when he knows he shouldn't.
