No kidding. Jackie Onassis used to bargain down salespeople, take slightly used merchandise back for a full refund, save and reuse things around the house most of us (poor folk) just toss, etc... There is an art to getting rich. Hell, there's an art to getting to middle class!
I must respectfully disagree with not being able to avoid naggers. Not everyone does it. You do not have to live with it if you don't want to. So don't. It's a horrible way of life. Get away from it. To my darling lady friends out there: please, please stop this bad behavior of nagging. He will NOT stay. It will NOT work. I guarantee it. Get this down, and get it but good. You MUST find another way to let him know what it is you want. You must be as sweet as you can possibly be. Men are just men. It will never, ever change. Be smart.
Hey I just started a thread on Jokes and Humor and no one will play with me! It's a good one, too. Come on folks. (or there will be more tears, and tantrums, and , and, and, well, there just WILL be. so there!
A great many people had terrible, terrible childhoods but developed into wonderful, warm caring people. A great many people had wonderful, loving, nurturing childhoods full of enthusiasm, positive values and genuinely sweet home environments, and developed into arrogant, negative, abusive crime-oriented huttbowls. (know whadduh mean, Vern?) there is no "recipe", nor is there an excuse to cross lines that are a given not to cross. I'm not buying it. Some people are just born to be bad. No excuses.
Consider this scenario: You fall in love (the real McCoy ) with a good-looking, well spoken warm one-of-a-kind guy. He is absolutely everything you have ever wanted. He dresses totally GQ, sports a nice car and home, plus. At dinner he drops it on you that he is ending the relationship. He thought YOU had the money! (he's actually broke and about to lose everything). Hey, with your way of thinking, this would be completely fair, right? After all, it's about the money. This is what you're expecting someone to be "O.K. with you about. Lovely, yes?
Wake up Maggie and Try Just A Little Bit Harder By The time I get To Phoenix I'll need to Know The Way To San Jose then go Down Mexico Way and visit The Dew Drop Inn because I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry since I noticed Mr. Tambourine Man chasing Me And You And A Dog Named Boo down to The Heartbreak Hotel to get a Pina Colada.
At my time of life I can't afford to be patient....... I tend to be assertive but when I can't get something I want done immediately I do something else so as not to get annoyed.
Today I was running out of cash so I went to the bank.
There was a queue of about six people. That might not seem much but ONE PERSON here can take as long as 40 freaking minutes with the cashier.... don't ask we what they are doing but it always seems to involve a telephone call and the scrutinising of a cheque as though it was some alien object beamed down from Mars and VERY suspicious.
So, what did I do?
I had enough money on me for a glass of wine so I went back and drank one.
Then I went back to the bank - still a queue!
No worries - I waited until I had to go into the main town here to buy my mum a box of those chocolate thingies for her birthday tomorrow. In Victoria, the main town, they have a new-fangled thingy called a cash-point machine.
Look at it as the glass being half-full. Do you want to become interested in someone because they only post their best "light" when in fact they are really a boozing, schmoozing, two-timing drunkard with filthy habits? At least the ones who post photos that make them look like a slob, etc... can be quickly weeded out. Count your blessings. There are quite a few very nice photos on this club. Look at them. Forget the cruds.
Patience is most definitely NOT one of my virtues. I fully admit this. Hate (yes, hate) waiting for anything or anybody. Something to think about, though: have you ever noticed that if it a person you have to wait for, there is an established pattern of this? Now I think that is deliberate, downright manipulative. Especially if that person knows you are needing/counting on them. In this case, I believe being impatient is RIGHTEOUS. It's always the same with them, and if you dare to call them on it, they make 'The Excorist' look like 'The Good Ship Lollipop', if you get my drift. Yup, somebody pissed in my cherrios with this control/manipulation. You bet I'm not patient.
RE: i want it all any rich men out there
