Always tape. It looks like shit when I try to cut in freehand

[tekkieman]

Sometimes tape, sometimes trim tool. I have one that's two feet, and one that's 6 inches. Does a really good job as long as you don't let the paint get on the back side.

My aunt and Uncle (at whos place i live) told me that next week they're painting the house. it's grey now and they're gonna paint it beige. what the hell is the freakin' point. they're almost the same colour.

DVD_Ripper - your problem with your wife is that she has too much free time on her hands that she notices the smaller things "like paint in living room".

The distraction technique is relatively simple, but then you'll have one more kid, and she'll realize you need to paint the ceiling too!

Sounds like I'm screwed... .well at least maybe I can get a new tablesaw or radial arm saw out of this debacle.

First let me say...absolutely get a power tool out of the deal...always.

secondly...there are many ways to distract her. Just don't give her too much time to stand and look around. Paint on the walls is not something that is a focal point for most people.

One technique I use is everytime I see my wife I hit on her. I slide a hand here or there, brush up against her "accidentally"...etc. Comment on her body in some dirty minded fashion. I would say something like "look sweetheart, I know you like those shorts but I swear to god you need to change them or I am going to tear them off of you and take you upstairs. Your ass is looking way to good in those shorts. You know something like that. Ask her what she's doing and when she says nothing, I reply with...how about doing me then? You know those types of things.

You see the technique just mentioned serves several purposes. We first need to understand what women want. Of course we know the general answer to that is "everything or what they can't have". So let us narrow it to what they need or more importantly what they need from you so they will shut up and leave us alone.

Women basically need:
Someone to listen to them
Someone to Compliment them
Someone to Make them feel special
Someone to Make them feel desired

(yea, I know the listening one sucks but I'm not the one painting the living room am I sometimes you have to walk through hell to get where you want to go)

So in my technique you will notice that #1 I complimented (always a quick way in) and #2 made her feel desired. Now the other 2 are kind of fluid exercises and can vary greatly. To make her feel special take your time in the activity...don't rush through it...read "Northcat eclipses 2000 posts" for more information on this subject. If you get turned down you can still make her feel special by saying something like..."how about we just take a walk" (don't worry, she doesn't want to take a walk and if she does use the mentioned technique to get some outdoor nature sex and she won't ask you to take a walk anymore )...or how about we just play around for a while, etc, etc...use your imagination but don't get mad at her for turning you down. Now the final hurdle to overcome is "listening", I know it sucks, but dammit you're a man, you can take it, quit your damn crying....if she says "No" there will be a reason she said "No" if her reason is because she doesn't feel like it, grope her and tell her she feels mighty nice to you (bang another compliment+desire, that's double points)...if she says because the kids are home, offer to take her some where else or to send the kids somewhere else. No matter what she says offer up a counter idea for how to make it work. (again be nice).

**if it is a serious reason she is saying "NO" like her mother is in the hospital...which I never understood, because it's her mother in the hospital, not her .....but do not press your luck, violent reactions can occur and risk of injury is dramatically increased**

When she it becomes apparent that she is not going to go...you need to come back with something non-threatening, humerous but not funny, irritated but yet playful. A few of the ones I use are:

"one of the nicest things about being a daddy is getting to play with mommy parts and now I'm not even allowed to do that."

"come on just say yes, everyone else is doing it."

I'll look at the one male dog (who is always at her feet) and I'll say "come on Larry (that's dog's name) looks like we are both striking out today."

I will also say "come on...it's been 3 weeks...you know how I get when I haven't had my "medicine" in a while". (3 weeks is a major exaggeration, I can't remember the last time it's been 3 days...she keeps me pretty well fucked )

Also always make sure you are attentive to her after sex. That will prevent the "just using her for sex" thoughts from cropping up in her head. And if you **** up and she does get those thoughts. You can redirect her thinking by using "no I'm not. I just enjoy your expression of physical love so much, I'm just sad and disappointed when it's over." ***you can only use this once...after that you are on your own*** trying to use it more than twice will get you sewn up in the bed sheets while you sleep and beaten with a broom stick.

Anyway....point being if you are always after her for sex you are garunteed she will eventually say no. (as long as she ate some of the wedding cake) but fulfilling the 4 base necessities for her ego keeps her mind in romance land rather than lets paint something land. You'll also notice that no where in there did I get angry or upset. Keeping a positive and playful spin on things is important because you sure the **** don't want to end up in pissed at you land


***meeting is still going on I'm "using the bathroom" ***

Anyway, that's one thing I do to deflect the redecorate bug. There are others but they will have to wait until I have to use the restroom again

[tekkieman]

A whole lot of shit!

DVD_Ripper - I won't say that northcat is wrong, but if you think about everything he just said, it will take less time to paint! It may not be as satisfying either, but use the time you save by just painting and getting it over with to sneak in a quick one. (And still get the new power tool, of course!)

[DVD_Ripper]

Outstanding thread... and thank you for you thoughts and comments... I will try this next month when its time to go to the furniture store..

[tekkieman]

In 28 minutes I get to have a peanut butter cookie!

[Doramius]

I just realized I'm not wearing my belt. I set it on the couch, but just didn't put it on. I think I just got distracted putting on my deodarant. I think I also forgot to turn the AC off before I left. DAMN!

[tekkieman]

I just realized I'm not wearing my belt. I set it on the couch, but just didn't put it on. I think I just got distracted putting on my deodarant. I think I also forgot to turn the AC off before I left. DAMN!

I hate that! On days when I get to the office and realize I've forgotten my wallet, I just take the rest of the day off and go home.

[Grimey]

I wish I had AC in my house.

[Keefkey]

I'm putting more tape around this hamster. The last one split far too easily...

[Doramius]

I'm wondering why tape is preventing a hamster to split.

That and I just realized I need more AA and D size batteries if I'm going to go camping this weekend.

[Grimey]

How did you split a hampster?

[Capmaster]

How did you split a hampster?

Do we really want to know this?

[Doramius]

I smell bagels cooking with Romano cheese.


I am a little curious on the hamster. I've got a bad mental image about Keefkey and I'd either like to put it to rest or know if I'm going to need psychiatric help in removing these mental images.

[tekkieman]

Only 33 minutes left until our Friday free lunch arrives. Deli sandwiches today.

[northcat_8]

Outstanding thread... and thank you for you thoughts and comments... I will try this next month when its time to go to the furniture store..

It is not an instant cure. It is a process. But eventually what will happen is she will not approach you with frivelous items such as this.

For example, today when I called my wife around lunch time here is the conversation:

Me: Hey, what are you doing?
Her: Getting ready to go to lunch.
Me: Where you going?
Her: I don't know.
Me: How about you meet me at _________ park?
Her: What for?
Me: **silence**
Her: Are you serious?
Me: you know I am.
Her: No.
Me: Why not?
Her: We may get caught.
Me: No we won't the Tahoe has tinted windows
Her: No.
Me: How about _________ park? I have a blanket.
Her: No.
Me: How about Sears? (It's along story...happened in my youthful days)
Her: You need to behave.
Me: Come on....it's been like 4 months
Her: Oh it has not
Me: Seems like it, I probably forget how
Her: No you didn't (and she started chuckling) (I got her, she's caving)
Me: So Sears?
Her: No.
Me: Awww, come on be original say yes, your girl friends already said "No"
Her: No they didn't, I have to go.
Me: so...???
Her: Not at lunch! When I get home.
Me: Alright, I'll ditch the kids


She was suppose to be at her friend's house to go shopping at 6:00, but she got home at 5:30...after the "event", I heard her on the phone with her friend telling her she was sorry she was late and she would be right over. Apparently her friend asked what happened because my wife replied "you know how he gets if it's been a day or 2"

And guess what, she didn't even notice that my son didn't mow the yard today, she didn't notice the clothes on the bedroom floor and she sure as hell didn't think "man that living room needs painted."

I would also like to point out a side benefit of this method. When she told her friend that over the phone, she actually planted the "must be nice" seed in her friend's mind. You see that woman's husband is always complaining about how his wife is always wanting sex but he only gives in to her about 3 times a month. (he's a piece of shit anyway). You see women usually travel in packs, all you need to do is get in with one of those girls and you can work the whole pack....this is actually how I got my wife. This is not as important now since I am married but when I was single it was very important.


I would also like to mention that on A&E they are profiling San Francisco. They are talking about the Mitchell brothers and Marilyn Chambers. (for some of our younger viewers, the Mitchell brothers were the first XXX film makers and Marilyn was the first actual porn star. The movie was called "Behind the Green Door".) and she still looks pretty hot and she's really old

[tekkieman]

Northcat is BS'ing you! Don't forget, I have the wiretap. Here's the real conversation:

Me: Hey, what are you doing?
Her: Getting ready to go to lunch.
Me: Where you going?
Her: I don't know.
Me: How about you meet me at _________ park?
Her: What for?
Me: **silence**
Her: Are you serious?
Me: You know I am.
Her: No.
Me: Why not?
Her: You know I hate that.
Me: Please…
Her: No.
Me: How about I come home?
Her: No.
Me: How about anywhere?
Her: You need to behave.
Me: Come on....it's been like 4 months
Her: More like 14.
Me: Actually 14 months 6 days, 14 hours, 23 minutes, and 41 seconds.
Her: What’s your point?
Me: So can we?
Her: No.
Me: Awww, come on be original say yes, you always say "No".
Her: I have to go.
Me: So...???
Her: No means NO! We’ll talk about it when I get home.
Me: Awww, I have to watch the kids again?

[northcat_8]

Most excellent tekkie...I threw that out there just for you. I knew you "bored" and "there is nothing worth replying to".

The greatest thing about today is not only did I score when she got home from work. But her and her friend will stop at a "refreshment stand" after shopping. Which will translate in to a 2-fer day for Northcat!!!!!!!!

WoooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooo

[tekkieman]

Drunk sex is the easiest to get. Don't have to work at it at all. For some reason women feel guilty when they get drunk, so they pay for it by giving it up. Men don't feel guilty when they get drunk.

Leaving for home, so I won't be bored for a couple of hours. Be back then.

Alas - the wife is going shopping tomorrow. I will be watching the little one. I really love doing it, but she commandeers my computer, and I can't post!

Sorry stilt. You seem to be a slapstick type, and I do intellectual humor. :P

[stiltman]

I do intellectual humor. :P

Now that made me freakin laugh!

[indolikaa]

It's because you run out of fingers and toes, right?

[stiltman]

Actually, A.D.D.

Well, that's OK. At least I won't have to ask why you can't read past line 21 now... :P

[stiltman]

I gave Stiltman II his first baby (rice ceral and apples) shit tonight.
Damn, this guy can eat. He ate that and a 6oz bottle.


Too bad after a 1/2 hour he puked it all up on me

To the fathers out there....Ah, never mind

[indolikaa]

What a good week. Not only did I get the entire Honey-Do list done, but I had money left over for some new toys. And the Dual Pentium II build is working like a champ.

Cheers to a good week.
