Ouch - thats a quad-fecta of extremists! :eek:

Juniper 01-17-2010 04:39 PM
I know, right? :D

He is who he is, you are who you are. You either work together or you don't.

However, willfully forgetting the magazine subscription is petty.

You owe him that National Review, and add a subscription to the Limbaugh Letter on for good measure.

Els, the same might be said of you darn lefties.

Juniper 01-17-2010 04:43 PM
No, it's not petty. The National Review is EXPENSIVE. Sixty bucks for 24 issues.

He won't read it anyway. He says he will, but he won't. Not really a reader.

Forgetting the magazine subscription is only petty if the magazine was for him. Maybe I misread, but it seemed like she was saying he told her to get it for herself.

Edit: Nevermind, Juniper clarified. I change my answer to: why does he need her to order it in the first place? If he wanted it that badly, he'd get it done I'm sure.

Juniper 01-17-2010 04:48 PM
Nope, I'm pretty much his personal assistant. :)

But actually, I think I did tell him that if he wanted it badly enough, I'd pick him up some back issues at the library.

Agreed. They make me want to puke. Or punch them in the face. But since the guy I deal with pays me I shall refrain.:D

Iron his shirt.

Juniper 01-17-2010 10:26 PM
Gladly. Anything to get out of mowing the lawn, cleaning up dog poo and cleaning the chicken coop.

Me too, but after I snap the fuck out, they avoid me for a couple months.

My second wife voted for Nixon (2nd time), and couldn't wait to tell me. I don't miss her.

Juni, roll your eyes and say, "whatever".

Yeah, that's generally been my strategy. Just wondered if anyone had advice for something more productive. :)

xoxoxoBruce 01-17-2010 10:50 PM
Yeah, I know that, but I generally just spend the time thinking up places to hide the bodies. In other words, I got nuthin' at the moment. :o


edit, unless you want to paint Cellar.org on your naked chest and....

Yes Ma'm. :o

I'd say start with regular AlAnon meetings and see where it goes form there. I've never been, but practically everyone I know goes, and after a while they all seem to be feeling much better about everything.
Uncanny.
