Can You Freakin Hear Me NOW?

It is no secret to those who know me in real life that I hate cell phones with a passion. I loathe, detest, and despise them. More and more people are opting for cellular phones instead of land lines, and this is making me crazy. If I have to ask or hear, 'CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?' one more time I think I am going to cut off an ear.

So, imagine my state of being perturbed when I am on a date and my date decides to USE HIS CELL PHONE while we are ON THE DATE. Was it urgent? Was it to check on children or because there was a family emergency? Nope. It was to chit-chat with various family members.

You have no idea how tempted I was to grab the stupid thing out of his hand and chuck it out the window as we cruised at 75 mph down I-15. If it had not been for the fact I was securely seat-belted in and I would have had to lay across him to grab it, I just might have done it.

Why wouldn't I lay across him? I don't give 'freebies' ;-p

Gentlemen, (and I am using that term loosely here for some of you), when you are on a date, you are on HER time. Show her the courtesy of respecting that and turning off your electronics from hell. We are not impressed by your gizmos, but we are impressed with the attention and courtesy you show us.

We don't care that your I-pod can play in your car unless you are giving us some say in the musical selection. We don't care that your cell phone has special extra features. . . we just want the blasted thing turned OFF while you are with us.

Ladies, this works in reverse, too. Keep your cell phone OFF and save your date-review with your friends for when the date is over and you are home alone.

Not only has common sense died, but apparently common courtesy has died, as well.

Ugh! Back to Cheaters!

An article from a couple days ago on Spiegel International has got me back onto the topic of cheaters. First, you need to read the article so this blog entry will make sense.

I cannot believe that this woman who worked as a private detective, seeing the utter devastation that lies, deceit, and cheating caused in families and marriages decided that the way to help stop the problem was to aid and abet the lying deceitful cheaters!

I have said it before and I will say it again: Common Sense has died. Beyond that I think it is one more in a long series of signs of the times. This is a clear example of 'evil being called good'.

I guess the 'saving grace' in the article is that she states that the alibis given by the way of receipts and bills are all for fictional establishments. Knowing this, a suspicious spouse/significant other has only to hop online or make a phone call to verify said establishment even exists.

Personally, I think that adds to the lack of IQ points this woman is displaying. ..but I am sure for legal reasons it can be no other way. So, cheaters unite. .. pay this woman to add to your deception, and the person you think you are fooling is STILL going to be able to nail your worthless hide to the wall.

Wouldn't you be better off either not cheating or to just get a divorce? I mean seriously. . .grow up and fix YOUR problems so you can be a better spouse and have a better marriage . ..or show your mate some kindness and mercy and free them of YOU.

aye-yi-yi

First: THE HIT LIST (2007)

Photo by Chance Agrella
The following, dear reader, is a sampling of the kinds of men I have been attracting this year, in no particular order. Maybe you will recognize some of them. If any of them are you: take notes, then straighten up and fly right, Bucko!

Please note that I started off this year engaged. The engagement ended in January. That was the reason for my initial lack of selectiveness in who I dated early on this year.

Mr I Love You
This man had a dozen different definitions for that phrase and used every one of them on me to try to convince me he had feelings for me. Too bad all the definitions meant the same thing: he was just trying to string me along while he played. Found out later he was saying those 'I love you's (which he claimed was soooo hard for him to say. . .and that he only said to me) to pretty much every woman he dated. And believe it or not, that was the LEAST of the troubles with this man!

Mr PoutyPants
This man is a perfect example of the man who never matured. Pouty, sulky, and prone to tantrums when he doesn't get his way, it is pretty evident why he has yet to marry.

Mr Flake
This man is a classic. Vague, indecisive, evasive, non-committal, ever-elusive: this man kept insisting in word he was totally into me. . .while he actions clearly said otherwise. An excuse for every occasion, he could explain away every incidence of his non-interest and some almost sounded plausible. But, over time, the excuses wear thin when the pattern continues or worsens.

Mr Mama's Boy
The umbilical cord was never cut between this man and his mama. What mama says goes including how to rear his children, what job to work, what his wife will do, where he will live, etc. No woman has a chance with this man til mama kicks the bucket.

Mr Tightwad
This man is the epitome of a cheapskate. First Date: BURGER KING! I kid you not. Why BK? So he wouldn't have to leave a tip. . .which when he does 'have' to leave one will never be more than $2 no matter how much the meal cost or how great the service. Those were his words. Again, I kid you not! Oh, and when I got the large drink instead of the small, he informed me with an angry glare that I could have gotten the small drink and a lot of refills.

Mr Big Spender
This man spent the majority of the time bragging about his possessions, income, assets. . .to me and to everyone else within earshot. Then complained when the check came for the meal. It should be noted that he ordered the most expensive meal on the menu, plus all the 'extra's (for extra cost) they had. He was tight on the tip, too, after running that poor waitress to death.

Mr Obsessive/Needy
This man was almost scary. He 'needed' my constant time and attention and was immediately swearing off other women and 'devoting' himself to me 'no matter what'. We had never met in person.

Mr Horndog
Several of these appeared. Basically only think about and want to talk about matters of intimacy. Totally focused on being physical and my physical appearance/attributes. NO THANKS!

Mr Playboy
Arrogant, cocky, and a total player; this man thinks so much of himself there is no room for anyone else to admire him. His way or no way seemed to be his motto.

Mr Second Time Around
Several of these showed up: men who I previously dated, and then they came back around. There was a reason why we stopped dating, and in every case it still applied.

Mr Hit and Run
Several of these came and went. This is the guy who comes on strong about interest and then goes 'poof' into the night for no apparent reason. But, we know the reason, don't we, ladies? They were doing the heavy hitting to other ladies at the same time and found one they liked better to play with.

Mr Confused
The name says it all. He says he is confused and doesn't know what he wants. BELIEVE HIM. He is NOT lying. He is also NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. Seriously. Just walk away. Don't look back. Don't even try that psycho 'fix him' crap. Keep on walkin, girlfriend. ..keep on walking!
