So, you ladies want to interrupt my head from my shoulders? :shock: What am I to do, let it go as planned? :roll: :hunf: :lol:
Remember, I said early this AM we would detach it, inspect it, fill it with appropriate thoughts and use Gorilla Glue to reattach it. I am going to consult with the SM on the matter. :twisted: :-P :-)

Chief, you really need to get out on the OPP, a little more. Those of us who participate, call these frequent interludes, "rollicking frivolity". A breath of fresh air!
You just have to look for them! :mrgreen:
All are welcome. :thumbup:

Yes indeed. Even us Jarheads welcome members of our 'T***sportation Department'.

Or "going off the rails". Heck, he even missed football watching together. Of course, he may root for wrong teams. :cry: Sometimes he seems slightly contrary, not offensively so. :shock:
As long as it's not the evil "Ravens", of Baltimore. :?
Outside of being Naval personnel, I do not find him offensive, at all....just not a Marine! :mrgreen:

I did not call him "offensive". I said he can be contrary. He probably finds me the same on occasion, though how such could happen is incomprehensible. :roll:

No, you did not, but I phrased my comment contrarily.
I have never found you contrary...just persnickety! :mrgreen: Incomprehensibly so. :wink: :lol:

This is probably the first thread I've read on this forum since I got here that was light-hearted and fun.
Thank you, AuntiE! Please...may I have another?

Well AuntiE, you may begin your celebration(s) now. The Ravens just beat K.C. 45-44.

John Denver, "Some Days Are Diamonds, Some Days Are Stones". It is actually one of Slatten's and my favorite songs.

Ah me, I stand corrected, but I'm ever SO glad you got through!! I could tell by the way that slatten was beginning to grovel a little that you must have and slatten could tell his days were numbered!!

AuntiE, I stand in awe and am humbled by your power of concentration, to say nothing of your powers of persuasion!! :mrgreen:

Since the wearing of a wedding band or ring is a r... (show quote)
If a woman makes a comment to you, it may be your presumption it is more then nice simply because she does not have a wedding ring on. Be assured a married woman who does not have a ring on can set you back firmly in your place without giving offense. Is it your contention a woman can only be interested in you for a "date" as opposed to simply having conversation?
By the way, I have not worn my wedding ring in eighteen or more months. My spouse has not had his on in I cannot recall when.
I have waited to put forth my position on this subject. I choose you to put it forth.
It is my contention a couple either know they are married; committed to that marriage; honor each other and their commitment and vows or they do not. A ring on their finger is not going to change their behavior. It is you who gave the example of a man having another ring to cover the ring outline. His ring made no difference to his being a piece of slime and honoring his vows.
As a generalization, I further believe married individuals, who are committed to their spouse, marriage and vows, have an "air" (for lack of a better word) about them which conveys their lack of availability.

However, some of us have been guilty of crashing certain individuals serial topics and the rest of us have joined in. Think our defense could be "comic relief". :-o

If you want incomprehensible, wait till you read my commentary on wedding bands and my position thereon. I perceive heads will be exploding.
