Ummmm.... Wrong. I love a man in jeans and a t-shirt or jeans and a flannel shirt. Jeans, flannel shirt, hiking boots... he would have me at hello.

The tux is fine... once. Or every now and then. The suits get boring. I like a man to be himself. A man's man. Someone comfortable in their own skin, but can throw on the tux if he has to, and be just as comfortable. He is who he is.

But give me a man in jeans and a t-shirt or flannel shirt any day of the week. Then again maybe I feel this way since I'm 100% heterosexual female and I love men.

Damn straight, Eric! A woman can be wearing baggie sweatpants, big old t-shirt, hair all mussed, and she'll still be hot. Give her some glasses and a book and WOW!

And of course, beauty isn't just outside (although that never hurts). If a drop dead gorgeous woman has a nasty personality, I don't care what she's wearing, within seconds, you know she's an ugly woman. MHO anyway.

I'm betting the compliments were from women. I'm also betting you look good on a day to day basis. BUT....we women want you to know that we notice when you take a little extra time, that we appreciate it. Hence the compliments.

Clothes do make the man, and the woman. But I'll tell you want, while I do enjoy a man in a suit (goes to that made an effort thought) there is nothing like a pair of jeans, flannel shirt and baseball hat to get my motor running. WOW......throw in a pair of cowboy boots and I'm jello.

THEN if he can make decent conversation and has a sense of humor, well....let's just quote one of my favorite movies "Yea, I'm pretty much a sure thing." ;-)

I shall add that boobies and bloodlust are not always mutually exclusive,witness the baboon and the babe being ripped from her primitive boobies. See, you did get to watch primitive boobies.

Not all of us rubberneckers like for others to do the same. At least we don't openly admit it.

Eric, I hope you don't mind (and this is completely off-topic) but when I was here the other day, I was browsing the whole damned site, and found your little "About Me" portion. I thought that was great, so I shameless stole the ID and implmented it (minus a few of the questions) at my own place. It's one of the better Q&A things I've come across. You can pop over and click on the little broomstick-riding witch in my left menu if you want to read it! :)

I'm not fond of the smell of pee myself! The bad thing about gun regulation of any kind is that only the law abiding folks will obey. The bad guys never do anything but what they want to, that's why we have laws to start with, to tell the players apart! I think I'll just keep both my guns (a 22 and a 410 sawed-off) leaned against the headboard of my bed and loaded, because a single woman never knows when she'll need a little equalizer!

Kinky isn't far off at all with his praise of the singing coyboys.

Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and William Boyd (who portrayed Hopalong Cassidy, who was NOT a singing coybow, but the point stands) promoted old-fashioned conservative values. They also were strong proponents of racial equality and fair play back in an era where that was NOT the trendy Hollywood position to take.

We could do worse that look to these guys as heroes.

'regular folks' are getting fed up with rising taxes & other infrastructure costs associated with the "immivasion".

I do this shit myself from my house on my machines, and I am beginning to question exactly why I do it at all. Oh yea, I remember; so faceless IT pros can tell me what kind of computers to buy. Silly me.

I sincerely apologise for my terse comment, but go ahead and get your skivvies in a twist if you must. It bothers me not. "Most of you" I ain't. For Jawja comments I care not, whatever the fuck that is.

its 11am in detroit and we have 10 inches blowing around and more is coming...and I love it!!!

one of my most treasured Detroit memories was when I was watching a house this californian rock star had purchased in a crappy east side neighborhood and it dumped a foot. I went outside to shovel and these two 8 year old black kids walked by on the way home from a cancelled school day. Of course the stereotype is that they are callow and ignorant and wouldnt have anything good to say, newsflash-black people in Detroit are very racist to whitey in their hoody, but I don't play. So's I says to the kid "Man, this's a lot of snow,huh?" thinking he'd take the opportunity to say something victimlike or just thniking that he'd ignore me. But he just cut right through my game and said "I think its beautiful" just like that, without missing a beat.
It was a heart melting moment and I just stood there wishing his parents and I could be so cool.
I stood there watching the two goofs trudge away thinking that there's always a future and its just as likely to one a lot better than I dould ever imagine.

Years ago, when I studied Tai Chi briefly, the sifu made a similar observation. "Watch people walking through the rain," he said, "and notice how they are hunched over against it and cold and miserable. How much happier they would be if they just accepted the rain and walked upright through it."

In the years since, I've practised this advice and found that it does indeed work. I still don't like getting soaked, but for anything less, accepting the rain sure does make it a darn sight more pleasant to walk through...

And it reduces that pesky muscle pain that comes from tensing up all the time...

I think what I like about classical music is everyone can enjoy it. It lends itself to individual interpretation. Unlike Country, or Pop, or that damn Angry Chick Music I happen to listen to way TOO much lately, the words don't allow for much interpretation... it is what it is, it is what the song writer wrote. Classical, there are no words and so you can put to it whatever you want.

I adore classical music, for the very reasons you listed. You do have to lose yourself in the melodies, and the bi-melodies. I cannot have it playing as background music. If I do, something in the music will catch my attention and...I'm lost...lost in the melody, in the line.

I am going to start calling you the Thinker. You think before you act. I don't do that. I get myself into trouble, cause I don't think first. I admire you for that. Take care.

I refuse to be a hypocrite. If I like someone they're going to know because I WANT them to know. On the other hand, if I don't like someone I won't sugar coat a damn thing when talking to them. As far as I’m concerned everyone deserves to know where they stand.

I can’t stand phonies. Flattery has its place but not when it's handed out indiscriminatingly. Does that make sense? I'm really tired. *sigh*

Frankly, the blogosphere's about the only place I can GET a sincere compliment :-)

Hell raised by Harvey on January 4, 2005 02:55 PM

Some folks are able to accept compliments easier than others. It's easy to become cynical these days, too. I think you just have to follow your instincts. Sure, you'll get burned a few times, but after a while, you learn how to read people. I usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they give me indication that I shouldn't.

..thanks, Sadie... my scotch glass does not lie....

... Ms. Flynny... a Rhett Butler is as follows..

1 shot of Southern Comfort..
1 tbsp of lime juice...
1 tsp of lemon juice.
1 tsp of triple sec..
1/2 tsp of powdered sugar..

... shake the ingredients with ice, and strain into a chilled glass over ice cubes... garnish with a cherry, if you so desire...

The Gulf Coast vintage bitterman would have no argument over a cold Corona. Still would not kick it off the bar if someone else is buying. Especially if the bar is in Rosarita Beach or Cabo.

However if the bitterman is buying:

Maker's Mark and a tad bit of water over ice.

Beer nights call for local microbrews when available, but I am partial to Abita Springs Brewery beers when I can get them, and that is not very often.

Hell raised by bitterman on January 2, 2005 06:47 PM

Almost forgot.

Rum. The bitterman loves rum. Meyers neat. Pusser's Navy Rum with a bit of soda. Cockspur and a tad bit of pineapple. Mount Gay right out of the bottle, only after a case and a half of Miller Light after a sailboat regatta, however.

Oh hell. I guess I am right in there with Jim of PRS. Just serve it up. I'll probably drink it.

Eric,
The Glenmorangie is "still on the list", but I will get 'round to it. I found over the last few days, that I appear to have a sweet tooth for "The Glenlivet". The JW Green that my buddy shipped me for Christmas, uh, whooped my ass...

And, I too despise it when the glass goes dark...

My last boss told me that when he came home from Vietnam he stopped off in Chicago for a few nights..stayed in a nice Hotel that had a great bar & restaurant...about midnight a Silk Robe wearing Lee Marvin walked in drunk as a skunk..my boss was still wearing his uniform..he was a Marine (once a Marine always a Marine right)and Lee Marvin walked up to him and grabbed him off the barstool..than he hugged like a bear and kissed him right on the forehead and drank for well over an hour..buying all the drinks no less...when my boss would tell this story (which I heard a hundred times or more) his face would light up and I swear he would almost cry with pure joy.

I noticed the same thing. I find that the cuttlery kept next to the anti-jerk off juice to be a bit unnerving or perhaps a bit "bobbitish".

SWG --

In my dissipated youth I had occasion to visit the rainforest country... mostly Peru and Brazil... and I saw the Copaiba tree, actually resin from the tree, used as an astringent and coagulant. Some of the locals would tap the resin like milking a sugarbush. The resin was a traditional herbal. My girl (who is now a respectable pediatric surgeon) has always had a hobby of collecting such herbals and I obliged her then. I assume the locals in S. America still collect the stuff. Interesting.
