Poor choice of words Leo. 'Specially when you're "coming out."

My stats professor at college majored in psychology. He summed it up for us one day saying "Everyone takes psych 101 and then gets on with their lives. Some people take psych 101, realize they are seriously messed up, and major in it".

But that was just his opinion, I've met plenty of people who are messed up and never even took one psych class right Doug

Me? I majored in bidness.

<<, I've met plenty of people who are messed up and never even took one psych class right Doug>>

I'm assuming your asking me if I know people like that, not if I am one...

I never had time for psych. I was too busy drinking and taking differential equations. They go surprisingly well together.

They must go together better than beer and refrigerant dye.

I know the wiring in my house becomes more understandable with the proper application of alcohol. I don't do wiring in the house anymore, was giving me a drinking problem

You all know that I like to drink my alkeehol. So today I had to go to the Sheriffs office for a job interview. I sat in front of a 3 panel board consisting of a sargeant, a very gorgeous officer, (female of course, and yes I would in a heart beat), and a stern looking older woman who asked me some questions. I felt like a retarded kid. I can't recall being that nervous ever! I was literally shaking in my boots...I probably won't get that job. I've spent my entire adult life trying to avoid places like that...I'm shocked I got through the interview without passing out. On a lighter note though, I got to drive the SVX to the interview...it was further away than Wicki's job! I think that the only intelligent thing I said was that while some people make poor judgement calls, i.e. driving drunk, that doesn't make them bad people and they are already in a bad situation, and that if I was to hold that job I'd treat them with dignity and respect.

Dang, I'm still shakin' and that was a couple of hours ago...geez I still feel like I'm 12 years old. Hopefully the postal job test won't be so mind racking. That's next Tuesday so I get to drive the SVX (on the freeway), again! Wooooohoooo!

Eddycat with a gun and a reason? Why am I not going to be able to sleep tonight?

My neighbor's son is a deputy sherrif. So I asked him "Mike", his name's Mike,"what's scarier? Kids on drugs or kids with guns...AND badges?" He couldn't stop laughing until I reminded him it was kid with the badge.

Remind me to tell you the "Mike" story someday. It's kind of creepy

Actually I wouldn't be a full fledged deputy, just a jailer. But I will state right now that the woman officer was one of the top five most absolutely drop dead gorgeous women I have seen in my 40 odd years! And no, I didn't pay much attention to her body, she was behind a desk and wearing a uniform, (and gun), but damn...that face was just too awesome! None of you guys know my wife right...right? Maybe that's why I felt like a retarded 12 year old at the interview. Can some of you older members enlighten me on exactly when one stops thinking with his...trousers, yeah that's it.

[svxistentialist]

You should have put your two fists out, told her to "Cuff me, just cuff me, I'm guilty."

They love to hear that. And if she knew what you were thinking, maybe she would've agreed.

I don't know what age it goes away at. I have to shove my hands in my pockets oftener than I would have thought when I was 20.

Joe

<<None of you guys know my wife right...right? >>

Eddy, I know *everybody's* wife

<<I don't know what age it goes away at. >>

Goes away!!!??? It goes away?!

<<I don't know what age it goes away at. I have to shove my hands in my pockets oftener than I would have thought when I was 20. >>

Joe, if we ever meet I'll try to remember not to shake your hand if there are any pretty girls around.

Liar! You *know* I holler BS when I see it! If you knew my wife you'd be amazed, I was Saturday night and most of yesterday. What started the biggest fight in our marriage was when I calmly said I wasn't going to join in this conversation right now. Funny how being polite and nice can get you in so much trouble! Ah well, things are better now, until the next time she decides we need to "talk". (Talking (to her) consists of her lecturing me on some subject and me sitting there and taking it.)

Only if I saw her standing next to you (Sorry Eddy, I just *couldn't* resist that one )

Yes, the statement most of us married men fear the most is "We never talk anymore".

A "guys" perspective on "talking":

My Dad was working in Europe for several years recently, driving down the Autobahn with a co-worker. Both wives were in the back seat jabbering away when my Mom noticed my Dad and his work buddy just sitting in the front seat not saying anything. She says to them "Are you guys mad at each other? How come you aren't talking?". My Dad looks at his friend and then turns to my Mom and says "That's because we have nothing to say".

I think women in general like the feeling of molecules vibrating around their heads. The only advice I can give is to acknowledge her with an occasional "yes dear", "I'm sorry to hear that", "thanks for working so hard, dear".

Yeah, it's hard but not has hard as dealing with a cranky woman for several days. Our problem has been we are both decended from German/Polish immigrants. Probably the most headstrong nationalities there are. Talk about clash of the Titans!

My wife is German/Irish. Now would you care to swap stories on how loud and vocal they can be? I love her dearly, but sometimes I'd just like to walk away and be all by myself. She doesn't understand the not wanting to talk thing. On a more positive note, while we weren't speaking I had a chance to put up that cabinet by the washer that had been sitting in the basement for months. Oh, and lets not forget that I had the time to take the vacuum cleaner down there and suck up all them bird feathers that the cats trimmed from the kills that's they've made. Fancy Feast isn't that expensive when the cats get squawb fer dinner every other night. (Have you noticed that the mice are toys and not to be eaten, but boods are food?)
