YEAH! purple heart

[Deems]

OK...
I asked that if I got my hubby to join, Id get back my purple heart. Admin responded with a possible.

I told hubby that he didnt have to frequent .. just sign up and post a few times .. he agreed. ( it only takes a few times , til your addicted... right ?)

Anyway, for the rest of you who didnt know about my purple heart....
I was on CNF when my son hands me Dads pocket knife. ( not a pocket knife.. his version of pocket knife, the biggest you can get with a seraded blade that still closes) So kid hands me knife.. and i fiddle while watching the boards on CNF..... I cant get it to close. ( yeah, i was shitfaced) well, I drop it . Giving me a gash on inner thigh.
Went to LangleyAFB. I had to teach the gal how to stitch. granted i was still plastered.. but still eduMaKating this gal on how to do stitches. I got 8 . Drove my drink ass home and got up the next day for work. Hubby came home from work , saw the blood and thought me waking him was a dream... until he saw the blood. it was everywhere. By the time i got home from work , it was all cleaned up and i had a very apologetic hubby, who refused to get up the night before to drive me to the hosp.
My son cleaned his room and tok out the trash w/o me asking... but that didnt last....

later on i got on the computer and started an 8 stitches thread. Thats when Storm delivered unto me a purple heart. I had it until the site went down. We call that BC times.
Actually, now that im thinking about it .. I havent donated to the site in awhile. I remember saying that I was saving for my big move.... but i guess its time again. is there still an icon for that?

[Blood]

What's his screen name on here?
And is he as hostile as you are? Or is he the patent one in the relationship? haha

I've tried to get my fella to sign up too but he refuses.
I think he's afraid I'll out shine him with my awesomeness. :tongue:
Well that, and he's even more antisocial than i am.

[StoneTheCrow]

You,anti-social? I find that hard to believe.

[Blood]

You,anti-social? I find that hard to believe.

When I'm online i am able to get over my antisocial tendency's because It's less personal than offline interaction.
I'm already antisocial offline enough as it is, but i do need mental stimulation so i tend to be far more outgoing here than i would be dealing with actual people.

In truth I'm not shy i just have a general hate for most people and that drives me to be antisocial.

Does that make sense? haha

Yeah,it does. People suck sometimes and make it hard to deal with the reality of their assholeness. You still rock in my book though.:wink:

[Deems]

Hubby will make it once he's done playing with the boy. Their in a competition.

[LethalDose]

I remember the purple heart.It was nice..and well deserved.

Funny you would ask that .
he is the nice one. people automatically think he is the one you should worry about... but their wrong. Im the mean one . Im not actually mean... but come across that way .

Im from ( south jersey and) Philly. he's from Alaska/Wisconsin. ( grade school Alaska.. high school Wisconsin) We are truely different. How do i explain ?

For example... I went to hubby's parents.. told his mom not to take that shit....gave his mom a pep talk.. his mom came back a lil while later asking if i was still mad at her . WTF??? Mad? I wasnt mad. I was telling her that she shouldnt take a bunch of disrespectful shit from a step daughter! Thats was a pep talk! OMG! Let this gal say some shit like that when Im around!!!!!


I have noticed in the few years that ive been out of philly.. that people by large dont understand. if im giving you a bunch of shit you'll know it .... but somehow others think Im doing it all the time. Its not intentional.... I just get taken the wrong way most of the time.

When i talk to incog... and give him bad news... I have to state that im not jumping down his throat.. thats my intro. Otherwise we're in an arguement.

Nik? perfect example.... he hated me . Started derogatory threads.. blah blah ... he asked me once why can you blast me in a thread and like me in another? I responded... each thread is its own conversation. Im not bi polar. i can be mad and disagree in one ... but agree totally in another. never bleed the threads. We have been buds ever since.

Hubby? He is a farmboy. he likes my spark , hates my fury. He is a dick if ya ask me .. but the 70 people he's in chrage of love him? Go figure?

Hubby is a marine who got out after Desert storm, joined again as navy and is a chief.
I am an injured/retired athlete and a civilain medic.


There ya go... we are complete opposites... but it works for us ..

I think the confusion over 'the way you are' is that most folks grew up being around tactful, mild mannered people. So (at least for me) people aren't use to people being aggressive unless they are at their breaking point.

Think of it this way...you would be weary of a dog if he went around all day growling and snapping at people.
Growling and snapping are usually reserved for extreme circumstances, it's basic social etiquette. You can't go around sending mixed signals or you will most likely be misunderstood .

So when you approach everything with a balls to the wall manner people aren't mind readers so they WILL get on the defensive or just write you off as someone with emotional problems.

But back on topic...it's funny how that works out isn't it? My fella is the top dog around here, he's the one to yell or throw temper tantrums where as I'm the more chillaxed one that takes everything in stride.
It seems in every relationship there is a giver and a taker, it couldn't possibly work out any other way. Because you'd either have two takers wanting everything their way and refusing to compromise or two givers that would be miserable because neither of them were able to give as much as they wanted because the other won't take what's offered. haha

But i degress...I really look forward to meeting him, he sounds like a real sweetheart. =)

Of course he is. He's from Wisconsin. :innocent:

Going back to the first part ..... the confusion thingy... if you go to Philly, you'll see that Im not unique. We're not aggressive dogs.. Thats just the way were wired. Its not mixed signals.. not to me . Its normal . Im not jumping down your throat so dont take it that way . We're just different.
You think Im extreme and its just another day . I cant see censoring myself to be understood. I understand its needed in some circumstances.. but for the most part I want to be me and respond as how I want .
I have noticed that people dont get me . That dont mean im a bad person... just that they dont get me . Im OK with that .
It was clear with the mod election when you called me unstable. It was a shot . I'll admit . You really took me back with that comment , but I did ask for it with defending buschy. I thought that was tit for tat ... til it went further.. then it sucked. I didnt respond b/c i figured .. why bother ?
Then i went to the Pineapple run and got hit . So I was out for a few days .

I guess i look at it as this...
I am me .. people can enjoy or dislike what i have to say and thats what i want . I want feedback. Im glad that you havent put me on Iggy. I guess thats because you find some quality in me worth reading? Whatever the case.. Im glad that you dont Iggy me . Regardless of what you may think.. Im not a bad person and thats what i want you to walk away with. There's more to me than what you see in type.

Hubby throws temper tantrums...I find it amusing... Then he gets pissed.. then its not so much fun.. OOH well.

It wasn't a jab at all, i was just being honest. The way you convey yourself over the computer is pretty erratic and I'm not the only one that thinks so. With that being said i never thought of you as a bad person, you actually remind me of my mother in law a bit. Shes very direct and loud and I'm not use to that at all. I'm from Texas and people just don't act that way unless they have a chip on their shoulder or there is something seriously wrong with them.
But the more i got to know her the more i started to understand that that was just her way, but deep down she's probably a better, kinder person that i am. (And that's saying something, my nickname use to be Gandhi)

I'm starting to 'get you' but it's not easy for me because i believe in treating people with respect and to me people without restraint are disrespectful. I apologize if i started out judging you wrongly, but I'm just not used to people with your mannerisms.

I guess the reason for my writing you a novel up there about social etiquette was mostly to give you an example as to why people would misunderstand you. I know that where your from it may be normal, but around most of the rest of the world it's considered off putting. I understand you don't mean for it to but there ya go.

I do appreciate you responding to me in a respectful way though even though what I'm saying may be considered 'me just trying to talk down to you' i was really just trying to give you a different perspective.
It's so hard to convey emotion over the internet. =/

As a matter of fact .. my aunt moved to Virginia, suburbs..
her daughter upped a grade in school b/c of how suburbs theywere...
The townspeople never understood my Aunt Kathy. ( Who was born and raised in Philly) Even the church was afraid of her! WTF! She was a generation or 2 before me.. and they REALLY didnt know how to handle it . She tried and tried for years............ didnt matter. The fuckin preacher asked us what to say !!@! WTF!!! She has been a member for 20+ yrs and you ask us what to say>???? WTF!
I gave my God mother an Euology. And it was done in Philly Slang . Fuck you all!
The ambulance in that town was present and commended me for being as frank.... as well as doing my job ( on ambulancxe ) in Philly.
My aunt kathy wasnt understood and she suffered b/c of it . But those hearing my Euology understood,
and they understood a great deal , They made a point to come and tel me so . They apologized at how they treated her. ( lil late being that she's dead... aint it ? )

I remember that.
I don't agree with the "hated me" part the though.

I thought you were the most off the wall, bi-polar chick I'd ever met....till I got to know you.

You're really nothing more than a sweet heart with a gruff exterior whose mind works too fast for her fingers to convey the total gist of what you're thinking.

A person has to do a lot of reading between the lines with you to understand what you're saying.

Get you riled up? Not a word you mean is missed though. :xd:

Yup. I'd agree with "buds" part. Whole heartedly.
