We could have some radio show where people call in, but I suspect we’re both a little too mellow to be successful at this. We’d need a Simon Cowell type person to get mean with people. You know how Dr. Laura cuts people off before they even tell their story, and starts telling them off? I don’t think either of us are that type.

My best friend and I were joking about doing a radio thing at a local-ish volunteer radio station. We were going to call it “You got a problem?!” (said brusquely) with a (cheery) followup “We’ve got a solution!” Neither of us is mean but we laugh a lot, and envisioned it as fun/funny as well as hopefully helpful. We entertained ourselves for weeks thinking about which of our friends, coworkers, and family members (ex-husbands!) we’d ask to call in with their problems to help us get our show off the ground.
But then we both got new boyfriends and new jobs and lost focus on that. Now we’re putting a book group together instead, but it’s challenging because half our people want to be very serious about reading books and discussing them and the other half are refusing to read the books but want to come drink the book group drinks and eat the book group food, so we have to decide whether to blend the people or have a magazine group for the less diligent (or an internet skimming group, lol).
Anyway, it’s all very taxing.

Plumber is coming over this morning because my washing machine has been freezing or something. It means I have to shower instead of work out and I’m miffed. While I want the washer to work, yesterday it thawed for a bit so I washed every possible thing and now have plenty of clean clothes and freshly washed linens. What I don’t have is a long run on a rare work day without an early client.
MIFFED.

I read, “Plumber is coming over…” and thought, “Plumber? What happened to Hockey and Hunter???”[/quote]
Ha! If things go south with Hockey maybe I’ll look for an electrician or plumber. lol

Orion, here’s a better plan.
You meet a great woman. Gorgeous of course, and ALMOST your intellectual equal, so she can keep things interesting. 
Get married, and have a couple of kids. Both little girls who run to the door and jump up and down when you get home, then climb all over you in their little pink tutus.
Then you can write a book. Something like “The Women in My Life: How True Love Cured my Misogyny.” or Maybe “Why Women Used to Love to Hate Me.” Something really positive with some life affirming stuff for all the tired misogynists out there. You really just need a few really good quotes about love, so when you go on Good Morning America, you can sell it. Think Beetles lyrics, “All we need is love.” Stuff like that. Keep it simple. Even the romance readers would love it, and we’re the largest book buying demographic. I predict huge success.

I gave you gorgeous and smart. If you want a pre-up, we’ll have to exchange that for fat and smoker. Nobody gets to have everything, Orion. It’s one of those laws of the universe. Don’t be greedy, or we’ll have to switch the sweet little girls out for a couple of rowdy boys who hide in the bathroom to smoke their mother’s cigarettes.
OR, if I’m feeling nice…
The gorgeous smart wife sold her business before she met you, so there’s a chapter about how she had you sign a pre-nup. Along with some anecdotes about how her misogynist (note you are the possessed object here) turned out to be a big teddy bear.
You decide.

Do I sense sarcasm coming from the guy with the pretty Japanese wife with legs like a super model? I wouldn’t expect this from you, Chushin.

I get a pre nup, she gets to publicly claim that she tamed me !?
But only if she delivers two tutu wearing girls who jump up and down when they see me.
Plus, I get private comments where she gets to be indignant and all girly and arm hitting at the same time.

If you ever go back to yall’s original idea and need callers, hit me up.
Because I got 99 problems but a …
I got 100 problems
I thought of you today orion, whilst browsing Reddit. Story of a man and wife struggling to have their fourth child. They went to a fertility clinic for help. The doctor found that the man was sterile and suspected he had been for his entire life. It was an awkward ride home between the couple.
Paternity results are in. None of his three kids are actually his.
Hooray marriage!

Do you want to write a best selling book or not?
You could go with this, no wife required, but I’m telling you it won’t do as well because the title will be offensive and you won’t get to do the morning shows for your book tour.
My girlfriend of almost a year often has a difficult time accepting or reciprocating compliments. While physically she and I are very affectionate, I feel that there is a disparity when it comes to that aspect of verbal communication between us. I believe that being able to both receive and give genuine compliments is an important part of any healthy relationship. It isn’t just in regards to her physical appearance, but non-corporal things such as her efficacy or intelligence. It is petty of me to be upset by something so seemingly trivial in an otherwise very satisfying relationship?

That would be disappointing. I know of 2 guys who have been very blunt and seem to have direct knowledge that a couple of their kids aren’t actually theirs and one guy who has expressed some serious doubt.
It kind of threw me for a loop when they acknowledged it.
