Takes One to Know One
Today Gwinnett Arena is being descended upon by a lot of trucks and dirt for the Professional Bull Riders events that kick off (no pun, intended) tonight. Later today, I have a meet up with PBR’s official “barrel man” Flint Rasmussen for an interview and hopefully I can get a crash course in man wrangling!
I’m secretly hoping he will be dressed just like this. Either outfit would work.
Some of the best advice I have received about dating men - who want to marry – has come from men who have done it and are happy about it. That’s right, happily married men exist and they are chock full of good information single men and women can take heed to.
I just think it’s good practice to seek out people who have reached the destination that you desire. Often times they can offer great insight on their journey, including mistakes and pitfalls.
It could also be helpful to introduce someone you are dating to your trusted married friends. Some of my married guy friends can spot a player from a mile away and are quick to let me know it. They are all, “Game recognizes game. Get rid of him, he reminds me of myself when I didn’t care!”
You know the saying, takes one to know one, right? Well, if you take your date around married friends, you can find out from them if the person you are seeing is marriage-minded. You know, just in case you aren’t totally convinced by spending quality time with them.
What is the best advice you have received from someone who is happily married? What did they warn you about when it comes to relationships?
Have you ever introduced the person you are dating to your friends who are married? Have they ever advised you to run for the hills? Did you listen?
P.S. I’m meeting the happily married Mr. Rasmussen early this afternoon, you can still post questions for him to answer today!
Happy Friday!
2:23 UPDATE:
I had a great meet up with Flint! He was super friendly and hilarious. Flint and his wife have been married 15 years! That’s like TWO seven year itches under his belt, people.
I asked him what has worked for him and his wife all these years. He said, “lots of sex” (YESSS) and also the fact that they really enjoy their time together. She balances him out and can be the “voice of reason”. He also said that the fact that he travels so much for work, doesn’t hurt either! When he goes home, they are rarely apart.
So basically, I need to find a traveling salesman who loves sex and then live happily ever after. Easy breezy RIGHT!?

I think marriage is great for many people. For me, I’ve never seen the point, unless you plan to have kids…kids need the legal security.

Thank you Melo, Dream_n & Leggs.
Soooo, does anyone have any big plans this weekend? Tell us what you are doing or would like to do. Professor, my daughter is treating me to a movie tonight; I’m taking both my kids out for breakfast at Thumbs Up tomorrow; then it’s off to N.GA to a quiet mountain cabin for the weekend with the s/o. The weather won’t be as cold as I would like, but the fall foliage should be breathtaking.
ciao!

Cee
There was a big fight last weekend. Pacquaio v. Cotto. The Pacman won
sorry. I had to dip out. 2PM has become my workout time. LA Fitness is nearly empty until around 3PM. So, I can get my workout done without much interference.
Even though I am home, I still kinda hate the cardio part of my workout. So, I don’t need any reason to skip it (like all the machines being taken).
Sexy Cool…I got your information and will pass it along.

I use that syrup to make pecan pies, too. But I put jack daniels in my pecan pies too. I don’t know where I picked it up. I can bake pies, but no good with cakes at all. That is Mrs. PG area of expertise.
