Happy Birthday Corri!

[Burgbud]

it sure would be nice if they just trusted us, based on our past performance, eh burgbud?

No flippin' doubt. "Remember last week when I was brilliant? Now this week I'm an idiot? Can I sit down and take a second to process the whirlwind of my incompetence?"

Let's see...you can capitalize "Billy Joel" but not Burgbud? You are seriously messed up. No wonder women like you.

As for dealing with times when things are bad, I've had good success with the women in my life lately by just saying, "I'm in my cave about it." They seem to understand what that means and they say, "Well, I'm here if you want to talk about it later" and we all forge ahead.

If a woman was looking for reassurance during an active crisis...that just doesn't work. Sometimes you've gotta put your head down and charge forward and people who are causing distractions get yelled at and then ignored. I'll take the hit for my poor behavior after the crisis is resolved.

I don't get this:
In the nebulous associations I have with women now, Ive allready mentioned to Karen, that I wont do/use rapport. I think its dishonest. So when they start this kind of thing up, invariable I say 'Oh, we're playing lets pretend now'.
anyways, I dont know how we got there. hopefully some other guys will say how they feel about receiving comfort.

What sort of a thing would a woman say that would get that response from you?


P.S. Happy birthday. 34? I was 34 not that long ago. Man, I was dumb.
