Hi John!

Are you getting old? You losing your vision? How do you miss the crazy chick jumping up and down chanting "Here we go Bruins, here we go!" and stomping like a damn fool.

Hope things are chill for ya up there in the far north. And Go Bruins!!!

I'm in a quandry too. I'm supposed to be the designated driver for friends and go to a Keith Urban concert tonight. But the Sox play Game 2 against the Rays at 5:30 and the Bruins play the Red Wings at around 7:00 I think. Not really sure what to do about this???

I'm thinking I'll give my buddies cab money, set up the second TV in a strategic location so that I don't have to click back and forth between the games.

Thanks for the complements Pony.

Spent a fair amount of time in the woods as a teenager. Plus I know from my brothers' hunting habits that if you stumble on a mother and cubs, don't matter how much noise you made getting to her, you better make tracks outta there and fast!!

Brother owned a tree company and we always had to cut cords of wood for the stove growing up, so I totally get the need to stay mentally focused when it comes to chain saws and chopping with the ax. Saw my Dad catch a knot after he'd been at it all day, was tired, and the saw popped up and chewed through his nose. Safety glasses kicked it back before it went into his head, thank God, but what a gory mess!! So stay safe out there!

We play the Red Wings next. Saturday night.

Go Bruins!

Wise words.

You shotgunned those beers didn't ya?!

Seriously. It took me like less than a minute and a half to read Pony's post and I'm not even a speed reader. You either read slow or drink really fast man! At least you read it though, or cheers! depending on your answer.

Agree with the gun suggestion too, Pony! Coming from the sticks, I know you don't mess with them bears, and God forbid you come across one with her cubs! I don't know if I coulda slept a wink that night. Apparently the squirrels have yet to collect your nuts dude!

Totally dig that last caveat too Journeyman. You have to have mental fortitude to reign in your physical strength at times, and to muster more than you thought you had at other times, just to survive this chaotic life.

Bruins won!!

The game was blacked out down here so I didn't get to watch...

But we still start the season with a win! Sweet!

Yeah!!!

I was just about to start this exact topic!

Bruins take to the ice tonight! Let the chanting and stomping begin!

Here we go Bruins, here we go! [stomp, stomp]

Ah hockey...glad you're back...

Mental.

If you lose physical strength, you need mental strength to figure out a new ways to accomplish the things you can't physically do anymore. If you lose mental strength, it won't matter whether you have physical strength or not, you won't be able to accomplish what you need to accomplish regardless.

Depends. Would this machine just spit out a list of previous lovers? ...

...Or would it actually reveal an epic porno flick of footage of all your intimate encounters? I'd be digging that. I've had some smoking good sex that I wouldn't mind reliving.

And there's your answer!

I would never be THAT lonely and bored!

Good try though. Keep working it man. Some lucky lady will surely find your pleas for meaningless poontang enticing. I mean, who could resist a creepy clown looking for an easy score with any chick willing to throw open her legs in the pursuit of a wild and dangerous adventure? They should be banging down your door in no time!

You're definitely amusing Lawgiver. I'll give ya that! And this flower. But no poontang for you!

I wish more people would be this 'dumb'. Honesty really is the best policy, always! Small lies snowball into big lies. Plus it's hard to keep track of the lies. The truth is always the truth and doesn't change. Plus once you get caught in a lie, you become untrustworthy. Once trust is lost, it's hard (if not impossible!) to get back. Since trust is vital to any relationship, I think it's important to not lie about even the stupidest things.

If it's a dumb way to be, then I'm happy being an honest moron!

Looks to me like you've been given proof that your sex life is completely dependent on us women, and secondly that you're using the wrong kind of bait. May I suggest in your particular case to try money. Lots and lots ...and lots and lots and lots of money.

Good luck on your poontang search.

Too funny! I swear I was having a 'debate' with my boyfriend the other night and after FINALLY winning the battle and forcing him to admit defeat, I gloated that I was gonna go have my first name legally changed to Sheeze and my middle name would of course have to be Always. Sheeze Always Wright! I thought it was a brilliant idea!

He just did one of these...

I died once and went to heaven. Obviously they weren't ready for me yet 'cause here I am still among the living, but that was probably the most profound experience I've ever had. Definitely changed me as a person.

I chose mine because I'm a miss (never married female) and my last name is Wright, and I figured it would be coincidentally catchy for a dating site.

I didn't accuse you of cheating or lying. Re-read my post please. I said "You can cheat and lie all you want..." I used you as in the general you, you who feels it's okay to cheat or lie, not you as in you personally. If you took it as a personal assault, perhaps you're feeling a wee bit guilty of something? But I shall do better in the future to clarify such matters nevertheless. My apology.

And if it makes you feel better, I personally don't think any of your examples have merit to excuse lying. I chose to comment on the cheating thing because it's much more absurd than the other two examples you gave. So I'll address those too just for good measure if it makes ya feel better.

Child tells you* something in confidence, says don't tell dad. You* either need to tell them that you* don't lie to people you* love, if dad asks you* directly you*'ll have to tell him, or if you* feel like that would be deterring your* child from sharing things in confidence with you*, you* can tell dad if he asks that your* child shared something with you* in confidence and he'll have to trust you* that you*'ll handle it appropriately. If you* have no history of lying, he will trust you*. If he demands to know, you* can tell him to go ask the child. The child will have to lie if they choose to do so. You* don't have to lie. No reason to lie to either of them. You* choose to lie and that's your* choice. (*You in the general sense...not you personally)


Next, and to save aggravation, I'm foregoing the astericks after every you or your. From here on out you means you in the general sense....

You go shopping for wife for anniversary in secret. She busts you home and wants to know where you've been and such. Why couldn't you just say "I had some shopping to do. I left work a little early."? If she asks "well what did you buy?", I'd reply "If you really must know, I'll tell you but I was hoping it would be a surprise." If she pushes the issue, you whip out your present and say "Surprise! Happy anniversary baby!". I'm sure she'd rather have honesty in her marriage than some surprise anniversary gift. You don't have to lie about things. You CHOOSE to lie for whatever reason. I see no good reason but that's just me.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

Geez. I gave one example of using a little tact to prevent yourself from lying and you go off on a tangent about what would happen next. I would rather have my man tell me the truth and say "Yes, your arse looks big in that dress" than lie to me just to not hurt my feelings. If I get mad, it's my fault for asking the damn question. You know what they say...don't ask a question if you're not prepared to hear the truth! I'm not forcing him to lie by asking a question. You can't make someone lie. They choose to do that all by themselves and I don't care what your excuse is, lying is wrong. Sugarcoat it however you want, make whatever excuse you want to justify your lie, but it's still just as wrong in the end. The truth is best.

As for the cheating scenario...a one time thing? Really? Let me guess, it 'just happened'. "Sorry honey, I was just walking along and fell on that guy's manstick. I didn't even see it 'til it was too late!" C'mon now. The reality is that if you cheat, of course you have no compunction in lying about it. You don't value your partner and YOU don't want to get hurt by telling the truth. It has nothing to do with not hurting your partner. If that was your main concern, you wouldn't have cheated in the first place. The decent thing to do would be tell them the truth and face the consequences. They either forgive you or they don't. My advice would be just don't cheat and you don't have to worry about whether to lie about it or not. Problem solved.

And trust me, I see the universe. Unfortunately I don't like what I see these days...people making excuses for bad behavior all day long every day. Doesn't make the behavior any less bad just because it's become the norm. I'll live in my black and white world where cheating and lying are just wrong, thank you very much. You can cheat and lie all you want. No skin off my back. Good luck with that!

My sex life with my boyfriend has been sucking lately. I thought maybe it was because I've gained a few pounds recently so the other night I put on a sexy negligee, crawled into bed and started rubbing up on him all nice like. He rolled over and spewed out the same old line..."not tonight honey, I'm tired"... so I started crying. He asked what was wrong. I said "You don't want to have sex with me because I'm too fat. That's it. I'm going to lose 165 lbs if it's the last thing I do!" He said "Don't be silly honey. You don't even weigh 165 lbs!" I said "I know. You do!"

Now I get no sex AND he's not talking to me. Perfect!
