Musicians and their women (RANT)

like the original post artsy brunettes are a weakness of mine too. add green eyes and i cant stay away. im like a moth to flame.:o

If you lived in my town I might be worried you were talking about my babe. Light eyes either way. Green or blue, and I'm done for. Not that that's the only kind of flame for me, but she could actually be an alien with teeth in her lady parts and I'd probably still stick around for more if the hair's black and the eyes aren't.
 
Holds water. That is a strange expression. There is a Norwegian equivalent, and I thought it meant that something was wonky in some way. Say, you wouldn't like your boat to hold water. That would be bad. You'd like it to keep water out. Recently though, I was informed I was on the wrong track in regards to the use of the expression. But I still can't get my head around it, because a boat holding water is not something you yearn for, which is why most boats drain themselves. And for this instance, a generalisation holding water? That would make it wet. And the things that are wet I dry.

Your woman has our deepest sympathies.

:) IMO wouldn't hold water = not 100% guaranteed, is not completely definite, has visible flaws, it ain't watertight :)
 
It's also highly addictive, which explains why menopause (getting weaned off it) makes everyone who is going through it or is near someone who is going through it absolutely lose their mind.

This might be part of the reason for my girlfriend tearing me a new one last night. When I called her to the carpet on her behavior and some of the things she called me last night, she didn’t remember the things that she said, only that she was angry. She said she’s already gone through menopause, but perhaps she’s still at the tail end of it? I don’t know for sure, this is the first time I’ve had to deal with it.

Well, my sixteen year-old niece seems to be making everyone around her miserable, and making an already difficult situation for them even worse, as her estrogen level ramps up. She was a really sweet kid a few years ago.
