Amen, Brother Min!

Lets just say A-Min!

I must be missing something, because to me it is about the nail.

Though I suppose in the video the nail is metaphorical rather than literal.

Could be worse... could have been about a screw!

Hahahahaha!

I'm like a man in this way; I'm no good at sympathetic noises, and I'm always looking for solutions. That's probably why, when my last roommate announced to me that she was going to have to get a hysterectomy (VERY dramatic- she didn't actually need anything close to that), I asked her if I could have my mom call her (my mom is a patient advocate and has had a hysterectomy herself), she screamed, "no offense, BECCA, but your mom is fat and ugly and she looks like a man!"

I was just trying to help, but I guess she didn't want it. I found a place and moved out less than a month later.

I am very perceptive, but it is usually difficult for me to know how someone is thinking or feeling unless they expressly inform me with words. Just the other day at the gym, there was a guy who was having trouble with the treadmill. I assumed he needed help. What I should have done was get off my stationary bike and tried to help him myself, but instead I flagged a trainer and said that the guy needed help. What does the guy on the treadmill do? He states that he does not need help and continues to struggle with how to work the machine after the trainer walks away. It made me feel stupid.

You roomed with Austin Powers!

Same here. My wife, however, always reads WAY too much into things. Like if she asks me how my day's going and I don't answer in just the right tone of voice she thinks something's wrong. When I could just be tired or busy doing something and just give a short answer. Of course she says I don't talk to her enough but I've never really been a person who talks a lot.

But I never did understand why women always want someone to empathize with them rather than fixing the problem in the first place.

One of my favorite jokes, D/T.

HER SIDE OF THE STORY

He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit late but he didn't say anything much about it.

The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure.

So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I said that I love him and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he doesn't say it back or anything. We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to dump me! So I tried to ask him about it but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to sleep. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and we had sex.

But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to leave but I just cried myself to sleep. I dunno, I just don't know what he thinks anymore. I mean, do you think he's met someone else???

HIS SIDE OF THE STORY

My team lost. Felt Kinda Tired. Got laid though.

Your wife and I would get along great. I do that all the time. I talk way to much and I can solve my own problems after I vent about it to someone who cares.
