Subj : Re: who's here? To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Sep 06 2021 23:13:00 George, GP> Never a need for Viagra. . . unless you want to make a baby you'll be GP> too old to care for, let alone live long enough to see graduate? This is true. GP> Weren't you supposed to get the TDaP in grade school long ago? If I did, I don't remember getting it. GP> Hopefully you did; lost sleep is precious. . . I nap when needed, GP> without shame, eveb. . . Sleep and I have a loving relationship. But, N. Somnia, and L. Armclock are trying to break us up...the jealous whores!! GP> Yup. . . there is an old belief that men & women sharing a hot tub can GP> lead to pregnancy. . . "Oh, bother!" said Pooh, as he threw away his sex education manual. GP> That's an old labour term: f*cking the dog, meaning wasting time GP> instead of doing yuour job. And, too many folks do that nowadays. I was born and raised that "the man is the breadwinner". However, when my body said "you're not going to do this anymore", I didn't have a choice. Now, with being diagnosed with atrial flutter, and hospitalized twice in the last month, it really is a game changer. And, if I become diabetic (type 2), that'll really muck things up. GP> My dad used to sy it as "making puppies" just for laughs. . . (he was a GP> guard in a prison work camp -- not much chance of offending anyone with GP> so-called bad language!) Sort of like the medical professionals...they've seen it all. Yet, I know folks who don't want to go to the doctor, clinic, hospital, as they don't want to be seen naked. It's just another day at work for them. GP> yup; I felt it was important it do so. . . she was not maturee enough GP> or reafy to be a parent, & I expect the boyfriend, off doing his own GP> thing while she's struggling with such a difficult issue, wouldn't be GP> much readier. . . It was. The fact of the matter is when a guy has sex with a girl, it automatically makes him "the father". GP> More than one sense of waiting, was my point. . . She joked "we have a son...a dachshund". And, a male dachshund is truly an S.O.B. -- and he acts like one, too. I'm surprised with the comic strip "Crabby Road", that Maxine (I Love My Attitude Problem) didn't have a dachshund. They are stubborn, and want to do things THEIR WAY. GP> Eoither way, if two parynjmers can't ahree on such a thing, I'd GP> strongly recommend they are not ready for marriage, because one is GP> blatantly ignoreing some thing iportant to the other. I've heard some say that "they're getting married just so they can have sex legally"...and I tell them "you're getting married for the wrong reason". It's "For Better For Worse, etc. -- until death do you part". GP> If only one is religious, I refer them to "do not become unevenly GP> yoked" (whichj merans more than just Believer & non, it also suggests GP> that a paper & a milionaire won't make a stable marriage either, nor a GP> teen & a geezer. Exactly. GP> Of course you culd enjoy romance -- neutering doesn't change that. Now GP> if you also got gelded, you might have trouble in just one department. GP> . . Well, after nearly going into encephalitis from chicken pox, and worrying about absorbing the solvents, and possible birth defects, I didn't want to put an offspring through that. GP> No reason your wife should have to suffer though! When she had her menarche (first period), her Mom said "that's the rite of passage from a girl to a woman". When it happened the next month, she growled "I want to get spayed". Well, she didn't get spayed, but I gladly volunteered to get neutered. They told me "no sex for a week"...I only lasted 4 days. :P I had to keep a bag of frozen peas in the groin to keep the swelling down from the vasectomy (that's actually a common treatment for groin injuries)...and my wife said "you'll never look at peas the same way again". I was asleep on the Futon, and I was having a nightmare. My wife came into the Futon, and woke me, and I grabbed on to her like a security blanket, and she said "I think I've just been stapled". :P There is a brand of peas called "English Peas", and I really like the flavor of them. There's also a microwave blend of peas and carrots... that I'd make into a casserole, along with macaroni and cheese, plus chicken nuggets. With a dozen nuggets, a package of peas and carrots, and 2 packages of macaroni and cheese (all done in the microwave), it makes a nice meal, that would fill me up the rest of the day. GP> I think your coworker was just being smnarky, suggesting you're so GP> overly religiuos tyou won't even do "the deed" when married. . . I'll confess "we got frisky" before we tied the knot, but she said "you know we're committed to it now", and I agreed. My parents were originally against the marriage, but they were surprised at how well I handled it. When I flew down to the Orlando area to meet her side of the family, they were playing the video from the weddding, where I sang the song by the late Kenny Rogers, "The Vows Go Unbroken". The second verse starts with "Though I have been tempted..." -- and her cousin belted out "Oh!! He's Been Tempted!!". I nearly said the S word...which is what I said at the bridal shower, when they read "the winner" of the people giving the new couple to be, advice on the marriage. I may have noted this before, but it's one of the funny memories I cherish to this day. The top 3 were as follows: 3. "Janice shouldn't be the only one with dish pan hands". Now, after working at Burger King for 5 years over 40 years ago, I was no stranger to doing dishes, taking out trash, etc. I've heard many guys say that "doing dishes and housework is for the wife". Well, when she was sick, that responsibility fell on me. 2. "Daryl, pray for the Second Coming Of The Lord. Jan...pray that it is soon!!". 1. "Violets are purple. Roses are red. When Daryl is blue...Jan, head for the bed!!". I said the S word when the preacher's wife read it. She, a natural blonde, and myself, were as red as tomatoes. However, everyone else was laughing so loud and hard, that no one heard my expletive. Jan said "He's turning a much brighter shade of pink than he normally does!!", and she was grinning wildly. I was never so embarrassed in my life!! But, I nearly beat that at the wedding, when I put her engagement ring, her wedding ring, and my wedding on her finger (we had got the engagement ring for $25, from a store going out of business). I was about to blurt out "Where The Hell Is The Other One??!!". I had never been married before...I didn't know how this worked!! :P The Good Lord is SO WISE -- the preacher said "Um...you're not supposed to put all the rings on her finger"...to which I blushed, and said "Oops!!"...and everyone roared in laughter. But, when I sang "The Vows Go Unbroken", there wasn't a dry eye in the house. GP> I believe as the Good Book says, that forbidding marriage is an GP> abomination. As the Apostle Paul noted, "It is better to marry, than to burn with passion". GP> Q: What's a celibate person's favourite operating system? GP> A: Unix. But, do they have a hard time with that?? :P GP> Here's one from old Rome, in the 4th century AD: GP> A man saw a eunuch talking with a woman and asked him if she was his GP> wife. When he replied that eunuchs can't have wives, the man asked: "So GP> is she your daughter?" Wow. Daryl .... I took an IQ test, and the results were negative. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (1:2320/33) .
