Sorry if you are all sick of hearing my voice after a week of this AD campaign (I certainly am), but I am really excited about this new Conscious Thursdays series as a way to continue the positive momentum generated by the "Occupy"...

My friend Jenn is like this. She wants to fret- when I offer ideas to resolve- somehow I am the bad guy. So much so she hung up on me recently. All I did was verbalize HER bottem line. LOL. Oh well.
I noticed with some couples the woman talks for both of them. Then it drives me crazy talking to a 2 headed person.
I think often a male simple is not thinking about anything. Some conversations are a negotiation. With Jenny- she gets into a circular logic thing. No matter how the rant proceeds it comes down to "we are doomed, this is the worst day of my life".
If men tho were too vocal- it could be viewed as agression. There is a time to speak and a time to hold the peace.
I love your series... very thought provoking!!!

-- I always had male pets. But in the last 10 years I had a female German Sheppard and now a cat.
Both are fiercely loyal. I get the impression more loyal then a male counterpart.
But the cat- I am sure she is a better hunter then the male cats. She will get a rabbit and a bird- her eyes focus on anything in the yard- even if she is laying on my desk. So the hunt factor- for cats- I think the females outdo the males. Jenn and I talking that a male cat will still mark the turf even after being neutered.
All pets I had had were better pets when neutered or spayed- I don't think I would want one who is not.
I recently lost my male parrot. He was a trip. One day I hope to have another parrot. He knew the real silver coins from regular coins- he would get all excited when I was sorting them!!! He knew what the good stuff was.
As I have gotten older I can notice a persons age right away. I zero in on it. There is also a dimension of respect for folks say 40 as opposed to age 20.
The topic came up about police tazers on another board. I think alot of that is people being confrontational- rude- having no manners. Which goes back to the 20 year old thing. I likely would have been tazered if they had them back then- as I did have an attitude. #avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;}
It still floors me. A female friend age 42 in TX, does not like when a male is not in a house during a storm.
It isn't like the male can stop the storm. I sort of understand wanting a male around in case someone breaks in. But a storm? Hmm.
