Steak & BJ day is march 14th.
I told The Wife I would wash my truck, since she says I love it more than her. :D
I may take her out for a romantic dinner, to Waffle House. :wub:
I thought about telling Princesca I was going to make V-Day reservations and then taking her to White Castle (where you do in fact have to make reservations for Valentine's Day). I'm not sure if she'd like that joke or not, though. :hmm:
I'm lonely. :(
You tell me. My Gf was never a fan & I was fine & dandy with that. However, having a kid changed that. Now it's all gooeye shit.
I'm going to have to buy flowers & chocolate!
Hopefully the 3 legged cat will be in the mood to cuddle.
Oh. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow, isn't it? Hm.

Can't do it. Never been "Artsy-Fartsy" enough to get into photography, and (as Nicely as I can put it) I'm more of a Dog Person than a Cat Person. Sure, there's probably lots of cash to be made there, but there's also probably cash to be made from Taking A Shot In The Back Of The Mouth, which I'm about as interested in doing as dealing with Crazy Cat Ladies. Christ, my mother is turning into a Crazy Cat Lady, and my poor wife has to take her calls because I don't even want to deal with it anymore.
Or something. Start talking about taking pics of some hott 18 year old taking it from a German shepard, though, and I'll start becoming "Artsy-Fartsy" pretty fucking fast....

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day :wub:

I received a homemade boston cream pie, after mentioning offhand a couple months ago it was my favorite cake..
I also received some handmade cookies from a twelve year old student. I thanked her and told her she was a proper young lady.
Max and I took advantage of an empty house ( :perv: ), then went out to a restaurant/bar for pizza and pool (he beat me 3 out of 4 games). After, we hit a brew pub for a drink before going to see The Princess Bride at The Art Theater. It was a quote-along. :)
I received a single yellow rose - the same thing that he gave me the first time that we met... on Valentine's Day - and some chocolate covered pomegranate seeds. I'll give him his gift(s) tomorrow.
All-in-all, a pretty perfect Valentine's Day. Oh! AND it snowed! :wub: :wub: :wub:

The message is "you wouldn't want to share a cab ride with her, let alone a relationship" is what it seems to me. I bet her boyfriend is one of those mousy, passive types she met at Vassar that likes to cuddle because sex is too violent, cries after it anyway and probably pees sitting down like derspiess.

This one is a killer for me. There are a lot of things at play with the whole "open the door for me" thing.
First, if I get to the door first, I feel like a total heel if I don't open it for whomever is behind me, male or female. It's the polite thing to do. But... a lot of those doors are heavy, really heavy, and I'm older and more broken than I used to be. Sometimes, it really is a struggle for me to open that damn door. Which means that if I glance behind me and notice that the person is older/looks more feeble than I am, I feel all the more guilty if I don't open the door for them. Except that usually, the older a guy is, the more put-out he is that a woman opened the door for him. Which I totally get, because I hate it when I feel like I can't open the door because it's too heavy, so I'm more likely to be stubborn about it and try to open the door anyway which means that the guy behind me is more irritated that I'm in front of him, blocking his way, because I wouldn't just let him open the damn door in the first place.
I like automatic doors best. :blush:
No one can take offense if you go through first and hold the door open from the inside.

you could do the push as you pass. It says you want to be polite and keep the door open, but don't want to make eye contact :D

Not sure why that is awkward for you. Just seems good manners no matter who you are holding the door for.

Because I prefer to hold the door from behind and allow the person to enter first, since I'm short, have shorter arms, and can't easily hold the door from the inside?

Isnt it possible for you to stand to the side while holding the door and then proceeding after them?

It just dawned on me that we're talking about the door swinging in two different direction.
I'm talking about when the door swings toward you, trying to walk through and then hold the door behind you. I can't do that. I don't have enough arm-length to get the leverage to hold a heavy door open.
You're talking about when the door swings out. Yes, when that happens, I will often go through and just hold the door on the other side.

It was a thing for us. I don't remember who's idea it was (his or mine). The name was just something that we came up with that we both really liked. It has a meaning that we liked, and we liked how both of our names sounded with it.

i've never heard of that before. is it a real last name or completely made up/fake last name (like naming a girl "apple")?

A real last name.

Thank you for your lukewarm approval. :D
It works for us. We're happy with our decision.
I'm not. I glare in your general direction.
What makes a last name "real"?
Quote from: sbr on February 17, 2014, 05:00:30 PM
What makes a last name "real"?
A name that a man allows a woman to take.

What makes a last name "real"?
Being something people have used for hundreds of years.

So it wasn't real for the first couple of centuries? What was it then?
Quote from: merithyn on February 17, 2014, 05:18:02 PM

Typically an occupation or a birth place.
Quote from: crazy canuck on February 17, 2014, 01:25:53 PM
Just seems good manners no matter who you are holding the door for.
From ahead of traffic, I will hold the door open for anybody behind me; men get a 6- to 8-ft launch window, and women get an extended 10- to 15-ft extension, and will continue to do so for all women within that distance within an appropriate time frame until the next male approaches within that distance, and then I turn over the door-opening baton, as it were.
From behind traffic, I will try to grab the door for women, and at least take over the 2nd half of the door-opening motion even if it's cursory, like being obligated to half-stand when a woman gets up from her seat at the table. Unless I'm in a hurry, and then my 225 pounds will have to plow through her like Rob Ford going through an octogenarian city councilwoman.
And I realize that I've thought about this way too much, but it's a much more intuitive system in real life situations.
How sexist. :angry:

Not all last names were occupations or places of birth. Or even the names of their fathers, or descriptions.
All names were made up at some point.

Pretty sure "Bloodaxe" was a byname, not a family name.

If your father in law was nicknamed "Bloodaxe", you'd probably take whatever name he wanted you to take. :lol:
