I have read your situation, techguy. You have come a long way. You pretty much got back in the driver's seat within 2 months of DBing. I am sure you will make it all the way.

I just found this:

How were you asking? Were you asking nicely?

Were you threatening to leave? Or where you already gone?

When do "fixers" come into play?

My habit.

When a problem arises.

We are never called to duty when things are OK. We will sit back.. Watch some TV.. Drink some beers.. and play with "little man". Just waiting for the next "fix".

I "Love" you just the way you are. I understand where you are coming from.

You are looking at something behind him.. he is looking at your "boobs". How can you ever see eye to eye.

If I did not know better, I would say smartcookie was my W. Now I just need a Forrest Gump who explains it to my W the same way. Maybe I should just print it out and give it to her, but I am sure she would not a believe a word, because it is from me.
