What I hate about being single

[Jack]

"what do you guys think? what do you hate about it all?"

I hate the fact that when your dog lays dying, there is no one there to hold you while you cry your eyes out.

That's what will probably happen when your relationship falls. I've read your posts, and it sounds like you're in your relationship for the wrong reasons. Just my opinion though.

OSUPA LOL

Noticing that line of guys who heard about your needs extending from your front door all the way down the block and winding down the street all the way to Wal-Mart where they are getting that last minute manicure (LOL That is me getting the pedicure LOL I wanna do it a different way. (Scratch that itch, now, so get your mind back on that itch) LOL), so when they have their ill-fated attempt to fulfill your scratching need and squelch your craving, they will leave no marks. LOL

It is a challenge for us guys to keep the next guy from getting a chance at it.

Note: My apologies in advance if this is considered offensive; it was not meant to be.

haha.. well that line of guys must have blew away the other day.... before I got home! I'm content using my lovely wooden back scratcher.. aka.. the door-jam for now!

[Oki_Man5]

I use one of the posts between the living room and dining room.

Those guys are all out fighting fires, so go easy with that scratcher lest you start another fire.

I hate the lackonookie.

[osupa05]

"lackonookie" Nice phrase coinage going on there, Mr. Leon.

Yes.. too much back scratchin' on the post has increased fire starting potential! Well, I'm off to buy a candle... I really do like fires, so long as they are nicely contained within the confines of a glass jar or fireplace!!!

Ya like that, aye? LOL

I been thinking I wanted to try making some candles, so with a Michael's 40-percent-off coupon, I bought 11 pounds of candle wax; then some time with another 40-percent-off coupon, bought some wicks. And they lay in the closet for months.

For Christmas, with a 40-percent-off coupon from Hobby Lobby of course, bought a candlemaker kit. Took it out of the box and put it together, and it sits on the shelf in the closet.

Whew, I guess those candle-making items are resting. Maybe when I get the roof on the garage which might take maybe another month, I will have some free time for things like that.

If only I knew what the topic was.

I hate hanging pictures alone.

Bought a large desert landscape painting at the starving artist show this weekend. Now my wall looks like a pincushion 'cause I was just too close to tell how it looked.

Does anyone here love the desert? Ever listen to the words of "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by the Eagles? Is my age showing?

This is off topic, however, you opened the door. What makes you think I am in a relationship for the "wrong" reasons? You have no idea what goes on behind my doors.

Almost moved to Tucson, AZ years ago. Desert is pretty groovy, plus there's no grass to mow! In addition, none of those pesky wildfires.

Buy a laser level...they work very well.

But a laser level doesn't say, "Up, right, right, left, down right, up, up, down." to stimulate my emotions.

[sweetdaisy]

Good point. Well just adopt my method of hanging pictures. Hold it up, find the center, then pop the nail in the wall. I figure I'm the only one seeing it anyway.

[osupa05]

New invention alert:

Talking laser level... for straight picture hanging and emotional needs meeting.. all in one handy dandy package! Just don't snuggle with it at night!

Buy the one from Sears---Craftsman---that has a tripod, and it levels itself. I have both types---one that levels itself and one that you have to turn the little screws to level it---the one that you have to level is lots cheaper, but the other one is awesome.

[Leon]

Hmmmm, another tool.....I think y'all may have missed the point. No wonder it's so difficult to meet someone.

[osupa05]

That's why we invented the talking laser.. it gives emotional gratification as well as leveling the picture!

[Oki_Man5]

But, Leon, the tool will in the long run be a lot cheaper to maintain and a much better companion; don'tcha think? And if you do not get the talking version, it will never whine.

Good point. Sometimes I forget.

[Oki_Man5]

Whew! Now, Leon, I will not be alone in the hotseat as some of those hotties---oh! I mean "hotheads" LOL---begin to come alive for the day. LOL

[Leon]

They'll forgive us. They know fellas don't always think in the best manner.....accustomed to sticking our unshaven in our mouths.

[Curt]

I am thinking that maybe I am better off if I just keep my mouth shut...my mom once told me "Son, dont ever argue with a woman cuz you'll never win" I tried to argue with her about that, she won, maybe someday I will learn.

[Leon]

What's interesting is that we could have a thread titled:

"What I hate about being married"
"What I hate about being divorced"
"What I hate about being a widow"

Sometimes the grass is always greener ... :-)

I was just randomly reading some old threads...We used to have some pretty serious discussions here. There was a ton of emotion-tweaking going on here. You know...everybody was PMing other individuals about what someone else said. And some people checked this forum ten times a day!!

I'm ok with being single, but I sure wish I had a friend to do stuff with sometimes. Society looks down on people who go everywhere alone.

February 14...i hate this day most of all

What's funny is I've always hated February 14th even though I've been in relationships since my sophomore year of high school. Girls really get built up w/ this idea of maybe this is the one day of the year that a guy can be romantic and just go out of your way to do something nice but it never happens.

But, I will say, I am in a great relationship right now and all though I don't want to get my hopes up, for the first time since I have been dating, I am looking forward to the upcoming Valentine's Day.

I thought chivalry and romance were fairy tales. One man has shown me otherwise.

What I hate is seeing that really beautiful sunset and realizing you don't have anyone to say "wow look at that sunset" to. Sometimes you just need someone to share with.
