AJ and I have an unresolved sorta-argument about the girth of my blog-schpeels. I didn’t realize I could write as much as I have done,… but it’s good soul cleansing, so to speak and the words just keep on churning like buttah’ …

Here’s our blog-problem/argument:

If only I could learn how to keep a simple paragraph or two available for viewing as you have with your “continuing words” section … I think we’d be a happier blogging couple. I just realized that I’m in a sense, I’m direly begging you for a couple’s blog therapy session.

I cannot seem to configure the Google blogger to help my sorry arse out with my words-o-length that at times, turn into a dissertation or twelve.

Perhaps you have suggestions? You, The Noble Blog Laureate must have something stewing in your noodle that could help remedy my ridiculously L-O-N-G blog-a-thon entries?

Thanks Pauly D,

Nic

Tamara - For some reason I was under the impression there were 365 weeks in a year. Damn my sixth grade teacher Mr. Weber.

Michelle - Yeah, a doctor giving you the palm-scratching handshake might not be such a good idea.

#43-Palm Scratching handshake or regular handshake? Umm, the palm scrating handshake is definitely a sign of “life of the party” guy and a definitely flirty thing, so it only should be used in informal situations.
Honestly, if your accountant or doctor used it, would you really want them anywhere near you? If he is not going to take your handshake seriously, is he going to take your financial situation (or that scary lump in your groin) seriously?
So the answer to that one is “depends”….which leaves it still unresolved. Man, I suck at this.

In response to argument #102, Emptying the Garbage: You state, “We empty the garbage at least twice a week which means that over an entire year we’re emptying the garbage over 600 times.”

Wait, what? Where’d you learn to multiply?

I’m in support of you emptying the garbage, mostly because you only actually do this about 104 times a year, not 600, there being only 52 weeks in a year. I’m sure you did this bad math purposely, as a kind of bait for the first fish to bite. Hi! This is me….taking the bait…..heeeere fishee, fishee, fishee.

But I digress, you should continue to take out the garbage, having volunteered for this task. And furthermore, there should be no lapses in said taking out—12 times missed is 12 too many. This is your job. Suck it up, Buttercup. And I’m sorry, but hooking up ALL the electronics? Unless you do this daily, can it really be considered a chore? Is it not more of a courtesy?

Yes, I’m a hard taskmaster (taskmistress?). But any job worth doing, is worth doing well.
