Happy men and wisdom from women
October 23rd, 2009 by ShaunaWill anyone in this lifetime figure out men and women? Here are some e-mails I got on both genders that reveal some well-known or interesting facts...
MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE
NICKNAMES:
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura , Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT:
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY:
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
BATHROOMS:
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
ARGUMENTS:
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE:
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS:
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE:
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP:
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL:
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING:
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
-----
Now here's some so-called "Girlie Wisdom" for the ladies:
1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.
2. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 pounds.
3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
4. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.
7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my knickers.
10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
11. Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
12. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying and driving too fast. Are they kidding?

What's your best advice for the opposite sex?
Are men or women the more difficult gender? In your experience, what type of man and woman best complement each other? Do two dominating people butt heads or does a strong-willed person get easily bored from someone submissive?

And did you know that October 23 is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday? Thanks to Eli, now you do! Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't care about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty? Do you have a co-worker who is SO obnoxious that when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, I am glad to officially announce it is SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! Here are the rules you must follow:
* You can only slap one person per hour — no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* If questioned by a supervisor (or police, if the supervisor is the irritant), you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE!
Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living daylights out of and get to slapping today! Have a great slapping day!

First and almost dead.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:04 am
ohhhh 2nd! Congrats DiO!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:21 am
Thirst again!
Turd?
Thrifth?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:30 am
Slap an Irritating Co-worker Day? Seriously? OMG, if this was an actual sanctioned day, I would have BEEn in training!
I would take some kung-fu classes to build up my iron palm technique, and slap people so hard, their moms would feel it!
I have this one lady in my office that is SUPER IRRITATING. I can hear her nasally yapping ALL DAY.
No matter where she is in the office, you can hear her ratchet jaw going off. blah blah blah!
I would use up all my energy points slapping the bejeezus out of her, get an energy pack and continue until my hand fell off.
I would BEE the hero of my department!
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 am
slap your irritating coworker day? Sheesh, I better break out the football helmet, in case someone wants to take a crack at me.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:49 am
We had a group near our section of the floor that was just plain IRRITATING
Their secretary's voice was so loud I could here her from my office down the hallway 
And her convo was never related to work. Two of the guys who were next to her cheered when they found out that she was moving out.
* BEST PERSONALITY TRAIT IN OPPOSITE SEX - as my SM would say "Men are like leeches....they suck the blood right out of you.."
* MEN STILL PREFER TO DO THE CHASING? - I dunno, do they...it was the last millennium when I did such a thing.
* WHICH GENDER IS BETTER AT MIND GAMES? - the opposite sex of course
* WHO MAKES A BETTER BEST FRIEND — MAN OR WOMAN? - A dog
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:43 am
This is what I tell my daughters who always seek my advice concerning guys: Stay away from the "bad-boyz"!
They are looking for one thing and one thing only; self gratification They care nothing about your feelings and once they get what they want they will drop you like a sack of rice! I should know; I used to be one. Hah!
Also, avoid the ones who are to controlling and avoid the "passive-aggressive" type. The latter will only play mind games with you and make you feel like the bad person.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:46 am
BTW, Good morning ankles!
Breakkie: Chorizo/egg/potatoe burrito. I know I shouldn't eat it but how can you resist?
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:48 am
Mornin' jaydee.......peanut butter cheese crackers again this morning...

Ah.....what was the question again?
OL...............man vs. woman.....NOBODY "wins"
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:21 am
OL: you're a wise man!
Guuuuuud morning Hive! Yukky day outside in Seattle. I had planned on going to back cracker this morning but I slept in instead. Maybe I'll go tomorrow.
M, what's for breakfast this morning? You and Jaydee should tag-team.

Here's one bit of advice..........DON'T EVER CHANGE YOURSELF OR YOUR PARTNER...........ALWAYS COMMUNICATE..............WHEN THEY SLEEPING, LET THEM SLEEP........DON'T QUESTION WHEN SHE TELLS YOU "that looks ugly" even though you thought you look like "GQ".....go change your clothes.
OL.............no can count
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:25 am
Morning all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:26 am
IMO, best character trait in opposite sex: kindness. Actually, I think this applies to both sexes. I was going to say "sense of humor," but my ex-boyfriend had a great sense of humor but was occasionally meaner than a snake and passive-aggressive to boot.
As for which gender makes for better friends - I think it depends on the person. I spent most of my formative years in a neighborhood with all boys, so I think in general I get along better with men than women. One of my best friends from high school has all brothers and is good at sports (I'm not), and since we both dealt with lots of boys, I think it's the reason we get along so well. Aside from Sweetie, my best friend is a guy I've known since high school.
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:27 am
Morning KAN....DiO! Sorry DiO, even though you were here FIRST I gotta greet KAN cuz she's the lady. Always tink of da lady BEEfore yourself and your primordial sexual needs.
OL.........WHERE did dat come from?
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 am
Morning Teejay, Ankles, Jaydee...........
Time to start breakfast for Da Teenager........that humongous 150 lb. sack of lazy.
OL.............off I go!
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:31 am
OL: No worry about greeting KAN first. As long as you remain a Hogwarts supporter, I don't care about the other stuff.
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:36 am
eh OL: I read your other post incorrectly. I read "ALWAYS COMMUNICATE.....WHEN THEY SLEEPING...." I didn't read the whole sentence at first, so I thought you said to always communicate when they sleeping.
I thought to myself, eh, that sounds like a trap, communicating with someone when they're sleeping. They can't confirm, deny, or even remember anything. Why? 'cause they were asleep at the time. 
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 am
Wimminz, please remember that men are literal and straightforward. subtlety is not our strong point. if a question has more than two answers and one of them is BAAAAD but the other one is something you're fishing for...think before you ask it of us.
We're also logical. use caution when asking for something from us.
as an example of the above, if you're really not open to the possibility of a negative answer to "Does my butt look fat in these jeans?" then don't ask it.
using man-logic, if the jeans are causing your butt to look fat, why did you buy them in the first place?
the proper answer to this if asked at home while getting dressed is "honey, do we have any beer in the fridge?"
if the man finds himself corralled into shopping and the question is asked then, the answer to expect is "I'm going to go down to [choose starbucks, borders, sports authority], call me when you're ready to leave."
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 am
Who makes the best friend?
For me, it has to be a buddy of mine that I've known for almost 30 years. Why? Because we have a lot of "history" together. I can call him anytime of the day and him likewise.
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 am
Good morning anklebiters, jaydee, OL, KAN, David in Oregon, teejay, matt and da hive!
Happy Friday and Happy Furlough day!
I can smell breakfast!
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 am
Good Morning Hive!
WOW! A loaded post!
I swear there's a secret Man Manual that you guys live by... when to say what, when to drop the bomb, how to act just the right way and say all the right things.... blah blah blah.
My best guy friend (known him since I was 18) always flips thru his imaginary book when he answers my questions. He cracks me up.
My BFF, we've known each other since we were 15. We are so alike yet so different.
We each have our own things when it comes to relationships. I know what I want, I just seem to look in all the wrong places. Guys can BEE just as deceivingly wicked as women.
... or is it that Bad Boy Syndrome?
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:34 am
Good morning sally!
Just got the signal that breakfast is ready. I'll be back!
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:50 am
BEST PERSONALITY TRAIT IN OPPOSITE SEX : Understanding and patience
MEN STILL PREFER TO DO THE CHASING? No too tired to chase after anything
WHICH GENDER IS BETTER AT MIND GAMES? Women, most of my friends know they will lose the mind games, it's more a matter of minimizing the penalty after the lose.
WHO MAKES A BETTER BEST FRIEND — MAN OR WOMAN? man unless the correct answer is woman. What ever the Bees decide is right.
October 23rd, 2009 at 6:53 am
I have remained friendly with most of my ex BF's, one is my best friend till today. Just don't lie to me. That's where it ends.
Don't leave a voicemail saying "I was in Europe for the past 8 months" when I know you were here 5 mos ago. Liar.
My best guy friend said "Give him another 30yrs, he'll learn". LOL
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:02 am
Have a wonderful day everyone... gee, seems like I said that already somewhere else. LOL
Catchu all later!
(happy Furlough Friday M!)
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:33 am
Today's breakfast menu, omelette with salmon, mushroom, green onions and celery, bacon and sausage.
sending breakfast to everyone!
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:49 am
Good morning to all the manly men and the wonderful, warm-loving and whimsical women of The Hive!! It's Friday!
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:57 am
Women make the best Best Friends. That way, when you fight with your girlfriend, they can tell you how to get out of trouble with the minimum of effort and discomfort.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:04 am
Good morning!
Don't think that traits are necessarily based on gender. There are many complex men, as well as a lot of easy-going women. But I suppose if I had to generalize, women are more complex than men. Men seem to be more "what you see is what you get," while women have more hidden issues.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:07 am
And to answer the other survey questions:
BEST PERSONALITY TRAIT IN OPPOSITE SEX
Independance. I want a woman to have a spine and an opinion, not a man-pleaser. But that's just me
MEN STILL PREFER TO DO THE CHASING?
Yes. Men will always be the hunter, it's part of our nature. IMO
WHICH GENDER IS BETTER AT MIND GAMES?
In general, I'd say women are better at this, only because they use it when men are at their weakest, and we all know when that is. I can play that mind game pretty good though, so all I can say is, play fair. Hah!
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Sundays special at Ryan's Grill is All you can eat BBQ from 2-7pm, $19.95.

hmm......but i didn't get the memo from HNL2LAS bout this......yet.
and only one person per hour? what kine rulz dat?!
don't have enough hours in da day to accomplish this mission! oh well......i guess the irritating mama's boy will BEE the lucky recipient all day.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:11 am
Mornin’
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:30 am
oh yeah......i'll BEE there on sunday......but i probably going BEE late. i think even laster than HNL2LASt!
hellooo!......sunday = football = BEEas = crunk = late.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:01 am
true so true.
but i'm single. so none of those rules even matter to me.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:11 am
I found a link to Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Day, and I forwarded it to some of my co-workers.
One of them was kind enough to send me a copy of the company’s harassment policy in return
Jack…wondering is it thirsty Thursday yet?
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
good morning HIVE! is it really furlough friday today? i guess i didn't get the message... bah!
but, any friday is good friday... woo hoo!
my son was doing a paper about the differences between the sexes. i'm glad that he's learning about that while he's still young enough to learn! "women are smarter than men." ha ha ha...
che - your answers cracked me up!
KAN - you reminded me that i have a back cracker appointment today that i almost forgot about! hope you're having a great friday!
okie dokie... BEE back later... BEEzy day again today!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:39 am
Jack: My most favorite line of the day:
BananaFysh and opso: Hmm, seems like you have a lot of anger toward these irritating people!
And opso, are you saying, gasp, some little football game is more important than a Honey BEE??? Think BEEfore you answer!
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:43 am
Call me when it's 'National Beat Your Boss With A Wiffle Bat Day'. (Do you have any idea how much that stings?)
Call me IMMEDIATELY when it's 'National Sexual-Her-Ass-Meant Day'
Men and Women stuff got my high level intellect cooking and I pass on this philosophical question:
If a man says something in a forest, and there's no woman around to hear him; is he still wrong?
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:44 am
snow: Good mom! I see you are teaching your son well!
jaydee: Yeah, totally agree on women having a spine. But are there times when a women should know she should please her man BEEcause he is in need? Would that BEE considered a compromise of her principles or just yielding to keep the peace? Haha, and if two can play mind games well, then heck yeah both parties better play fair!!
M: Yeah, what kind of BBQ? I think yakiniku when I hear that though I don't think Ryan's does that kind of BBQ...
Who else is in for Sunday?????
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:52 am
turk fontaine: Haha, OK will let you know when those national days happen!
But I love philosophical questions!! And that is a good one... The answer is yes. Say a man shouts out his complaints about his partner and no one (especially her) doesn't hear. He is still wrong cause he is THINKING those bad thoughts toward his loving partner and is harboring ill feelings toward her. Aren't you wrong if you make all nice-nice on the outside but deep down inside are thinking the opposite?
EMM386: Hmm, don't think your girlfriend/wife wants to hear that you want women as your best friend!
Then again, sometimes a woman's advice (if she truly is a platonic friend) can help your relationship more as a guy friend might tell you forget about your problem and drag you into some you'll-BEE-in-trouble-later kind of activity... 
visitor: OK, I agree with you on this one:
Can you find us some great music today? Definitely would love the man vs. woman theme!!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:06 am
@ Shauna:
She should be more of a "welcome mat" (and I say this with all respect) and not a "door mat".
I hope you know what I mean....

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:33 am
@Shauna: It's too late. My best friend is a girl. We've been friends since the first grade. We went to grade school, intermediate, high school and college together. She's a non-negotiable part of the package. I could live with it if my girlfriend didn't like her, and didn't want to hang out w/her, etc., but if she tried to keep me from hanging with my best friend, that's it. That would be a deal killer.

The best thing a spouse can do is to support the other. Since wife and I have beeen living with my folks for 3 weeks now, we've had small kine drama, as my parents are getting used to the grandparent role. There have been times when my wife would specifically tell my mom "this is how I want it done" (with regard to feeding Evan, nap time, things like that) and my mom wouldn't listen and do it her own way. This pissed off my wife, as it should, and I told her that I support her, and had a sit down talk with my mom. We're working out the kinks, but it's going smoothly.
In 45 minutes we got 55 people coming over to the house for a little party to meet the grandkids!
Gotta support your spouse. When you get married they become #1 and your own folks, your golf game, your dogs, all become #2. Life is much better with a happy wife.
Booze helps too
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Good Afternoon Hive!
I agree with Scott -- spouses need to support each other. I've seen times where MIL's can ruin marriages by manipulating their sons, BEEcause they don't like how his wife does certain things. That gets ugly.
I'm still waiting for a good opportunity to slap my irritating co-worker!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
EMM386: Interesting. So how would you balance making time for both women in your life? What if your best friend didn't like your wife? And thanks for the music!
Scott (and BananaFysh): I like what you said about supporting your spouse. If only all men were like you.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
It also helps not to bee a sissy momma's boy. I would advise women to avoid those guys.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:36 pm
masako and I support each other too but it's not #1. GOD is #1 in our lives then we are #2, kids are #3, our parents #4......
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Scott: I'm sure opso would BEE in agreement with you!! Haha! Though if momma boys get taken care of by the mama, then the wife could benefit, too...in theory...
M: That is very respectable and a good balance...
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Ynaku: Glad to hear you are feeling healthy!!! BEE BEE DEE power!!
jaydee: Gotcha! Welcome mat and not door mat!
che: Your answers also cracked me up! Especially the one about BEEing too tired to chase anything! LOL!
chawan_cut: It's always good to know 'the rules' just in case.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:03 pm

scott - have a great party! not too much booze with the little ones around!
scott & bananafysh - i agree, spouses need to support each other. it's especially hard when you live with either spouse's parent(s) - like, we live with my mom. but, it's funny because i think my mom drives me more crazy than she drives my husband! sometimes when i need a break and want to leave her home when we go out, i hear my husband asking her to come along! lol... but, in the end, i'm glad they get along so well!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:24 pm
ynaku - sounds like you had a great checkup!
$200 is nice but it sure is a pain... would be better if we did our recycling more often!
*wondering if ynaku said "yes dear" when he went to the redemption center...

@snow yes dear.
Bwahahahaha we got $68. Then we went to McD

DRESSING UP:
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
I wear my good jeans to work. the ones with no puka.

Banana - Wassup Wit Dat?! and Worship The Fruit!! What happened to AFOOFA?!
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Hey, I gave you a riot shield!
And AFOOFA goes out the door when you affect my chances to "get some."

October 23rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Banana - Aigoo you buggah!! Nothing good happens when you thinking with the "banana".
Go do some jumping jacks or Jedi mind tricks or something. Get those thoughts out of your system.
No can this kine......
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
@bamboo -- I cannot help it! I'm "banana-driven."
But you're right (as all men always are
)
Oh, no jumping jacks for me -- I might knock myself unconscious.
I dunno how I would explain that banana-print in the middle of my forehead.

Hey bamboo, I get your back. WAY BACK AFOOFA. Quick, somebody give him the armored Stylin' Dydees.

October 23rd, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Game playing and head trips are not gender specific. Why can't people say what is real instead of what they think the other person wants to hear? Everyone loses when you do that. It is not a hurtful thing as long as it is done with love, tact, and respect.
And that is not a hard thing to do.

Leaving soon for some dancing then off to more karaoke! yayyy!
Here's to a great weekend in an air conditioned place!

Hi Sally
Was going to bed, then the boy woke up screaming!
Drama.
Yes, beautiful weather here in central Ca.
I understand it's been a hot and muggy October in Hawaiii
At least you have an ocean to swim in.
That's the one thing I miss the most.

Guuuuuuud morning Hive! Beautiful morning in Seattle to make up for all the rain and wind yesterday.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:33 am
Morning KAN and the rest of y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's raining like cats and dogs right now in HK.
KAN: Doesn't look like work is going to send me right now to Silverdale in Nov/Dec. thank goodness. I may be up that way over the next year though and since I haven't been to the great state of Washington I will make a point to see Seattle and hopefully meet you and sweetie.
October 24th, 2009 at 8:44 am
THIRD! Good morning!!
teejay: It's raining in HK? Wow!! I long to see the rain again! It's BEEn so dang hot!
KAN: Any good plans for today?
jack: So you were practicing some karaoke songs for me, right?
October 24th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Shauna: Good morning my liege. I give you credit on your schedule and how you adapt to the different shifts you have to work. I would be totally useless if I had to change shifts during the week but then again that isn't saying much since I'm useless regardless.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:33 am
teejay: My schedule has BEEn pretty stable now so that's good. Will we see you tomorrow at HNL2LAS' farewell? Please say YES!!!
October 24th, 2009 at 10:17 am
My Queen-
I'll admit and I have admitted that I don't read through the whole thread of each post but I'm taken aback by hearing that HNL2LAS is leaving. The "regulars" may think that is sacrilegious but that's just teejay. "I dinnah ken that HNL2LAS was leaving us." And yes that is a Gaelic or at least a Highlander lilt.
HNL2LAS: Can you please (or anybody else) tell me where you are going and when and where the party is?
October 24th, 2009 at 10:28 am
"I'll admit and I have admitted"? That like saying the word "actually" when I mean "actually". I'm such a dumb ass (okole). Lets see if this gets through.
October 24th, 2009 at 11:59 am
teejay: You didn't even know?!?! Ack!! Tomorrow at 4 p.m. at Ryan's Bar & Grill in Ward Centre!! Can can???

Konichiwa hive!
Got back from my sons last soccer game of the season. They lost but this team winning is not everything, they just have fun and just laugh when someone mess up, even the coach laughs. Nobody gets mad. That's team spirit. They ended up 7-3 not bad at all.
Now high school soccer will be starting in a few weeks. Now it's gonna be serious. No fooling around here. New coach so we gonna have to see how it goes.

Aloha from Los Angeles!
Me, and my dog, are down here staying with my sis for the weekend.
She has a killer loft. Just outside her front door I can see the HOLLYWOOD sign. It's a nice night here.
I watched the UH game from a bar down the road. I wore my Hawaii shirt....I looked like a fool
Hope everyone is doing well
I'm heading to Venice Beach in the morning, then to the Getty Center after that!
October 24th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Good evening hive!
It's so humid! AC running full blast!
October 24th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Oh man, I going miss HNL2LAS.

@Shauna: I'm not married, so I don't have the wife problem yet. Balancing is not that difficult because we tend to get together as a group, so they can avoid each other for the most part, if they don't like each other. If I'm dating, she tends to stay away anyway because she knows that other girlfriends have been bothered by it and doesn't want to cause problems. Ironically, it ends up causing more problems because I'm the one who ends up calling her to hang out.

HEY HEY HEY!!! MayBEE not LAST!! I've BEEn not last a few times after all! bahahahaha....
October 25th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Um, don't wait up for me. You know, I really would love to bee there. OK I might bee a little late. Oops, make that a lot later. You know how traffic is on Sunday. Yep, gotta have a head start. My arms are all pumped and ready to go. Oh yeah, everybody going have fun at where ever that place is. OK, I just about ready to decide to leave now. Hope the weather is fine. Yep does look like top down weather. Uh huh sure looks like it. Might rain though, but from the look of things, don't seem like it, but you never know with Hawaii. Can bee sunny now and one minute later WHOOSH "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" And you know what, I'm used to it. So what's the traffic like? Do I need a rain coat or should I turn left at the light? My G'baby had fun in the wading pool. Put it next to the slide and she would slide right into the water. She looks like she had a lot of fun. For me, we was watching "The Blob" with Steve McQueen. Really B movie. Stoopid dialog but funny in a weird kind of way. Speaking of weird, nothing really weird happened today. Had lunch at the New BK but something wrong with the drink machine. Didn't have the OOMPH. Had "GAS" but something was missing. You think if I ate Takuan might have helped the situation. I grew some corn and did my harvest. Yep corn taste really good when picked fresh off the stalk just when the silk turns brown, but yowza, no like when they over ripe on the stalk, can make whiskey. And I was watching these guys make Jack Daniel Whiskey, cool how they filter it through charcoal. Oh yeah charcoal, I think I gotta go start my grill. I like eat meat after kinda but not really fasting all weekend. More like not eating much cause was busy. My Friday day off wasn't really a day off cause my wife was home and she had this Furlough list. In fact she cleaned out the room and I gotta go put things back. But you know how once you take stuff out, you no can them back again? Same thing, so It ends in the trash. I went to the dump too on Friday. Me and my dogs went for a ride. I treated him to a plain hamburger, That dog knows how to unwrap it and eat the top bun then the meat and finally the bottom bun. Speaking of bun, I didn't have sweet bread bun today cause I didn't go shopping. I like the ones in Costco but it's too far. Just like going to Oahu for that pahty. I think I going bee late. No wait up for me.
October 25th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
teej: i totally hear you...this is the not the first time i've known hawaii would lose going into a game. it's just the first time i've had an opportunity to watch the game but passed. not because i'll only watch a winning team (i went to watch hawaii play USC at the colesium) but because hawaii plays with no heart. coach mac loves to say how we were doing just fine until this person got hurt...whatever. the players are the same every year. what makes this team different is that the coaches are either unwilling or incapable of preparing the team battle. it's so hard to believe that the traditions built over 10 years can unravel so fast in hawaii. that is hard to watch.
October 25th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
I agree Wade. I'm here in LA and I stayed at the bar last night to watch the UH game. I left early.......there is no spark at all. Coach Mac, the million dollar man is not effective.
October 25th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I actually feel bad for Boise St. Even after that complete destruction of Hawaii, they fell in the BCS ranking. Win or lose, playing Hawaii hurts the chances of Boise St. making it to a BCS bowl. Talk about no respect. They are much like Wahines when it comes to WAC play.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Just got home from a great going away pah-tay for HNL2LAS!
We will miss you!
We will visit you on our next trip to LV and you and masako can go to Thunder from Down Under!

Thank you to those who were able to make it tonite! Mahalo Nui(!) for the great night, guud fuud and fun company! 'n da pretty leis! Ohhhh I smelled guuud! bhahaha..
'n I'm so sorry you guys! I swear it was 4:30, err I mean I thought it was! whoops!..sooo.. YAH, HNL2LAS was late, not quite last thanks to BBH808! Thanks BBH for purposely being late so I wasn't LAST! haha....
October 25th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Pictures coming soon from the great night of food, fun and friends!
Scott and wade: Interesting perspectives on the football team. They play with no heart meaning you don't think they try hard enough??

had a great time at our party for HNL2LAS, though i'll BEE sad to see her go (though, you won't be gone from the triad!)!
my fellow musketeeeeeeeeeer... *sniff* anyway, HNL2LAS, you know we wish you all the best... and we'll come visit often! hee hee... but, you still gotta come and visit us! 
make sure you win the megabucks (uuhhh, and remember who your best BEE friends are! 
)!
thanks qb for making the arrangements!
