What do I want to be when I grow up? AND...

Do I have to grow up? AND...

What does being a grown up mean?


A pirate. :-)

Nope.

It means nothing more than taking things too seriously.

If a woodchuck chucks as much wood as it could (previous JustAGuy questions spur new ones...) How much of the wood does the beaver get to use in the new construction of his river dam?


The beaver gets whatever the weasels leave behind.

Why is toothpaste called paste and sticky stuff for papers called paste...and why do some kids EAT paste? (ew!)


A paste is basically anything with a certain consistency.

Why do some kids eat paste? Cuz it tastes like chicken???? lol

Oh...a couple more this morning...

Why does cold air make your nose run?


Because cold air is usually very dry air. Low humidity makes your body create more mucus in your nasal passages.

Oatmeal...instant of slow cooking?


Instant. I am too damn lazy to slow cook oatmeal...lol

Is similar taste in music critical to a relationship?


Hmmm...my ex g/f and I had very different taste in music. But it really didn't have anything to do with why we are no longer together.

I really don't think it's absolutely critical to a relationship. But I do think that having musical tastes that are close to each others is somewhat important.

well the 1st day is over, on my way in for the 2nd. will i ever catch up on my house work?
are there any magical elves who will do it for me, if so how do i contact them?
will i get used to having to get up at 2 in the morning on sundays?
how long will it take to get used to doing more paperwork?



Unfortunately, the Magic Elves have gone on strike and there are no indications of it ending any time soon. You may have to work on training the babies how to run the vacuum. lol

You'll get used to getting up that early. I used to work for a bakery and it took me a few weeks, but I got used to it. Of course, it didn't hurt that I was working at the bakery the year my daughter was born so I was getting up just about the time she would wake up to get fed. :-)

That paperwork will get easier the longer you do it.

Justaguy Are men intimidated by women who know how to fix things?Being a widow and a farm girl I know how to fix things, and have a toolbox. I don't expect a guy to look after me ,but would not object to an offer of a hand.


A " man " wouldn't be intimidated by your abilities. A " man " would actually be impressed.

JustAGuy! Where ARE you?

I kicked my son off the PC JUST so I could have a few minutes before bedtime so that I could allow your wisdom to infuse my sleepy brain...

Guess I'll have to sleep stupid one more night until I get the answers I desire!

(Get busy, dude!)


Phew. I wasn't on much last night and there wasn't much here when I looked. I looked again this morning, but I didn't have time to answer all of them before I had to leave for work.

Sorry about that.

Are you going to share the story or will I have to read it by ESP?

Heh. It isn't nearly finished yet.

Unfortunately, every time I write, it winds up sounding like something I have read before.

Why would a woman look for someone who is intelligent, yet be unable to hold a conversation herself without a dictionary or some other sort of translation tool?

I happen to think communication is important...and if I'm constantly having to explain what words mean, no real communication is happening. So why would they seek it out if they themselves don't have it?


There are, as you know, differing levels and types of intelligence. A person who is " book smart " can be pretty much clueless about life itself. A person who is " street smart " may know all about life, but may not have a clue if you used big words.

You are correct in thinking that communication is important, but there are forms of communication besides words that are necessary in a relationship.

That being said...you also seem to indicate that the women you date wind up not being very intelligent. If that's the case, why is your intelligence not allowing you to catch on to that fact in the first few emails, or even the first conversation?

Not to mention, intelligence is not always indicated by a person's vocabulary. My daughter's mom wasn't an exceptionally intelligent woman as far as words go, but if you put her in charge of an eatery or a kitchen of some sort ( she was the manager of the kitchen at a bowling alley for quite a while ) she could run the place, very efficiently, with seemingly very little effort. That would indicate that, even though she wasn't great with words, she had a lot of organizational skill, which requires a type of intelligence that even the largest vocabulary wouldn't necessarily impart.

Basically....it's all a matter of degrees of intelligence. If you want someone who has a large vocabulary so that she can understand what you are saying, then that's the kind of intelligence you can find either there or lacking in pretty short order.


Ah, it's probably because I don't expect them to be a match for me in level of intelligence, so I don't worry about that characteristic. It's not important to me.

However, when I notice an apparent disconnect in someone's ideas, then it tickles something in my brain. For example, if a woman thinks it's okay for HER to cheat on her partner, but not for her partner to cheat on her...that's kind of a disconnect to me.
