OT I'm LIVID - my first negative feedback

~I'm still not clear on how it hapenned, but it had something to do
with
him puring gasoline on to kill the fruit flies, and covering it so the
fumes built up inside, and then igniting it with a loud wall-shaking
BOOM.

Pouring gasoline on a compost heap......?
I've never heard of this before. Besides, compost heaps are very warm.
Huh? Am I just a compost ignoramus?

Oh, he's lucky he still has all his limbs! Adorable, adorable, stupid
genius man!

laughing, Mr. Mox....)

It's not YOU who is the compost ignoramus... and there is a REASON
you've never heard of anyone pouring gasoline on a compost heap before!

My sister and I were wondering if there is something wrong with
us...she loves the show "Average Joe" and there are always a couple of
guys there we'd LOVE to contact...they're so geeky/cute or sweet or
something...the heck with the "hunks" they bring in to screw stuff up
for them...they're always asses.

for him!

intelligent the might at least find you handy"

side story: While getting our boat ready for summer many, many years ago
my ex was pouring old gasoline down the street drain... that wasn't
stupid enough, so when it started raining, him and his best friend
decided to pour the second can of old gas down the bathtub drain...

The pilot light on the panel heater in the hall ignited the heavy gas
fumes along the floor, the ignition slammed the bathroom door closed on
them and 'Whump!'... fast and furious ignition of the remaining fumes!
His friend went THROUGH the bathroom door and Bruce followed. After they
were treated for 2nd and 3rd degree burns on their arms (having thrown
their arms up to cover their faces) I made sure THEY did *all* the work
restoring the bathroom!!!

How have men survived evolution!!!???

Handy beats intelligence *and* good looks these days! Being younger then
than I am now I didn't realize that he was way too good-looking and
intelligent (Aberdeen University - several majors, *none* very useful in
life)! On moving to the states in 1978, with an obscenely high paying
job compared to UK wages at the time, he was like a kid in a candy store
with a pocket full of money! Boats, trucks, all kinds of toys... he
should have stuck to books. He would have fewer scars! Common sense and
life skills were not his forte. Although I hear he has done well in life
since... I guess he sort of had to learn some things the hard way!

Yep! Good looks and intelligence are a plus but handy definitely wins
these days! eeek Now I know I am getting old!

I'll have to disagree with that. Intelligence is number one in my book. If
they are intelligent they know to use the right tool for the job. If they're
only handy they are using butter knives as screw drivers or chain saws to
edge your lawn. ;-) As for cute? Well, cute sure helps. Eventually you have
to look at them. Drop dead gorgeous can stay at home.

Keith is intelligent, cute, and handy - in that order. Fortunately I can
supplement the handy part.

Yeah me too... but some things I don't wanna do anymore! whine Like
non-maintenance auto mechanics... I *know* what its like to have oil and
tranny fluid in my hair! No-thank-you-very-much! bg

But I guess I should rethink that rant of mine! LOL When I was saying
intelligent I was thinking of my 1st ex... way too much book-smarts and
way too life-dumb! As far as unintelligent though, I find that I can't
even have a casual conversation with a dumb man! Especially one whose
grasp of his own native language eludes him... and those are more common
than you would think (or maybe not!) in south Louisiana!!! It's like
there is some badge of honor in being deliberately unintelligible!
another pet peeve

So I'll go for, at the very least, average intelligence, capable and
motivated (handy *&* tool smart), with looks that don't scare kids! Oh,
and the longer the hair the better!!! My good (2nd) ex seriously
looks like Frank Zappa (w/ hair almost to his waist) but has a heart of
gold!

And any man, or woman, using a butterknife for a screwdriver better be
in their own house doing it and not mine!!!
