A real life? And what's a "husband"? Is that one of those mythical beasts that talk without using the computer screen?


reply to post by Ian McLean


Yay! Our Beloved Champion™'s back! I hope you saw the McLean girls out to welcome you back to the bunker



I just don't know what to do with myself when people aren't where I think they should be

PJ, it's like any other physical activity - you have to work up to it. Start with five minutes if that's all you can do and then try 10 minutes after a few days, then 15, and so on.

I've been doing gardening, horse care, putting up fences, brush clearing, and etc. now for a couple of years, and the wood cutting and hauling for about a year, off and on. Seeing as how I'm old and fat, my level of physical activity is probably all that keeps me from dropping dead. I still can't split wood though, just don't have the upper body strength. But I can wield a chainsaw!

I could never forget ATS.

My little guy will probably be on here with me in a few years. My daughter turns 3 this year so I'll get her ready to go pretty soon.

Nothing mythical about him. He's my best friend and partner and personal chef, and he's still here when the power goes off or the satellite isn't working.

Proof of his existence!

That is a sweet picture. He is to be congratulated for tolerating us. Why do you have a parakeet glued to your door?

Oh, wow, I have got to visit that town some day! I wonder if I get free drinks? Also, there is nothing quite as scary as a sign with worn-off letter that says "Warning! Numerou... explosiv..". For some reason, I didn't notice it when I looked at the picture the first time.

That's not my house, it's my parents' house. And I'm pretty sure that's a thermometer.

Welcome back, Ian.

Yay! Our Beloved Debate Champion Ian M. TM has returned to us from his long absence, and Heike from her short one. Ding and I decided we don't like it around here as much when you guys are gone. If we can just get Sky and Sdog back, all will be well again

And Heike, sweet, sweet picture of you and your man. You do indeed look-like soulmates. (I saved it to my hard-drive. I am collecting pics of the FCP Fighters... I'm sure they will come in handy one day )

Welcome back, Ian! Hope you enjoyed your vacation. Are you going to continue your holiday skirmish about egg nog?

NYK: Congratulations! Keep us posted.

Heike: That's a sweet photo. You two look very happy.

hi twisi, hi memory, hi ashley


at my place this morning - right in front of my house:

Heike's Sage Advice for Monday, January 5, 2009

Actually, my relationship with my husband is somewhat similar to the one I have with my horse. There are no perfect men and no perfect horses, so it's a question of accepting faults you can live with and good characteristics you appreciate.

My horse doesn't crib, buck, bite, kick, or rear, and she isn't spooky. She's smart, willing to learn, comes to me when I call her, stands for the farrier, and is good about loading in trailers. She IS a bit strong willed and has the lead mare personality (some would call her stubborn) but I can live with that. The more I watch other peoples' horses in action, the more I appreciate mine.

My husband doesn't go out at night or spend too much money, never disrespects or abuses me in any way, is supportive, cooks, and does his own laundry. He's smart, has the same goals I do, is a good handyman and mechanic, and he's pretty lenient about me doing what I want to or getting what I want. On the other hand, he snores, likes football and Westerns, is anti-social, and can be a bit cranky at times. Again, those are faults I can live with, and the more I see and hear of other men, the more I appreciate mine.

In either case, as I said, it's not a question of finding one that's "perfect," you just have to find one that has the good qualities that are most important to you and flaws you can live with.

thanks for that advice heike
right nobody is perfect, and although we don.t think this way, even we girls have our faults and our good points.

sometimes it is not the question to find mr right or mr perfect, it is the question to find!
find somebody who wants to deal with you, with all your faults, with all your stubborness, with your life, your way of thinking.

when i started with my ex in 1991 i could really live with him, i even loved him, but we both developed differently and now it isn.t possible anymore!

i would love to meet somebody who cares for me as i care for him! that.s all!

I am not lean as you think, I am a fat boy and overweight for my age, I have not done any work, which involves bending down to the ground of field work, in my living memory.But only four more days of work, so have to cope up.

Congrats to ADB and wormwood13!!!

The other judgments should start trickling in...

I would have posted a link but am in a slight hurry currently...

reply to post by MemoryShock


Here you go peeps:

titorite vs wormwood13: Madison Avenue: Stop Mixing The Metaphors!

Oscitate vs Americandingbat: Fake Trees Are More Green And Festive Than Real Ones?

Congrats to all fighters, a toast to the winners ADB and WW13!

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Thanks Mr. Shock and SDog! Cheers

Congrats to wormwood on the win!

And thanks to Oscitate – that was great fun. I hope you got as much out of the skirmish experience as I did.

And most important, Yay! ShroDog's back posting in FCP

Congrats ADB and Wormwood!!

Good job to Titorite and Oscitate, too. All of the skirmishes were a blast to read. Everyone deserves a big in my opinion.

*Test Post. I'm having a glitch with ATS. Making sure this goes through.
