Re: What is your definition of a real man?

He must kill the spiders. And know better than to tease me/chase me around w/the carcass. Never dunk me in the pool or toss me in w/out my consent. let me control the remote and the ipod in the truck, and put songs on the ipod that he doesn't care for b/c I do.

Re: New tattoo

Just got done w/this about 30 minutes ago. We had to go out and get a large moolatte after this holy shit. Four hours. Sucked. He's leaving the first of July so if we want anything more by him we either need to get in fast, or wait for him to make guest appearances around the holidays, or make the 4...

Re: Couches? Fabrics?

We've had the most horrendous luck with our furniture, and I'm tired of spending money on things, so I think now we're going to go cheap and replace, since we've been going higher cost/better made and *still* having to replace. We're on our 3rd living room set, in 11.5 years. The latest set is leath...

Re: Help deciding between AVR and JA's "True Hearts"

I love the M AVR a lot. It's gorgeous. My M's and L center AVC's are in unplated wg and I like them better in it than when they were in all yg. Don't get me wrong, they were still gorgeous in yg, I just like them better in the unplated wg.

Probably re reading a lot of faves. John Sanford, James Patterson, Lee Child and Sue Grafton all have new books out/coming out, so those for sure.

Re: What is the ideal part-time working schedule?

I like your current pair best too.

It's HARD to pick out glasses I think! Takes my husband like...10 minutes *maybe* and he always gets ones that look so nice on him. I'm in there trying everything on hemming and hawing and anxious. I feel your pain.

Re: 1.911 AVC vs 2.14 AVC

I love the O. I like the shape of it a lot more than the other. I don't care for the culet in the M. The shape of the O is like the shape of my AVC's, and mine make me giddy every time I look at them.

Re: How would you rate your singing voice?

To my ears, I sound silly. However, after spending this year working at preschool where we sing a lot, and I have to be the song leader at times, now I throw caution to the wind and I can belt out Five Little Ducks or Slippery Fish like nobodies business.

Re: Weight loss bet with husband - any tips?

Lift weights. Heavy weights, not light weights that you could do 20+ reps on. Unless you start taking 'roids you will not turn into Arnold-women are not made for it. Not weights that you can barely lift either, ones that you can lift 8-12 reps, 4 sets. Muscle burns more calories than fat does-the mo...

It's not about greed, turning down or accepting a raise DF. Most people getting a raise still wouldn't be making more than enough to have a pot to piss in.
