Are you high maintenance?
Men beware: High maintenance is a turn off. It’s becoming more and more common for a guy to be into his appearance, image, or his own personal needs. While these guys can be great to look at – and probably smell amazing – dating them can be a lot of work.
I’m not opposed to hard work but I think that at some point, the high maintenance type gets tiring. You grow tired of their egos, attitudes, and their growing list of demands.
What happens when two high maintenance people meet and date? I’ll tell you, their egos have a battle and somebody loses.
Have you ever dated someone who is high maintenance? What do you consider high maintenance?
Are you guilty of exhibiting a little high maintenance behavior? How do you keep it in check?

She recently was with puppy. But apparently escaped to give birth and no one has seen them. This happened right around the time she started getting out all the time.
Methinks that at this point, she is just a rebel. Now, I didn’t mind the trash. It was a mild annoyance at best. But she can’t be over at my house tearing up sht that will have a cost to replace. Cause I know my EBT benefit selling neighbor don’t have the money to pay me.

SC – I asked because I used to have a chihuahua named Foxy and she had an oral fixation chewing on any and everything. I ended up selling her to a co-worker who ended up gifting her to a neighbor, so I was just curious when you said the name and behavior problem lol

What like women are not High Maintenance Wise diva? Or is it ok for Women to be (you know the double standard BS) inquiring minds would like to know.
I would not consider myself high Maintenance just accept me for who I am, don’t try to change, control, or try to convert me to your religion. And yes High Maintenance women from this guys perspective is major turn off too, I mean just because I can does not mean I should.

Exiled, preventing snakes is really eliminating their hiding places. Get rid of rocks, cool places or shrubs. They are attracted to bugs and rodents. You can go to Home Depot and buy some snake away products and that should work. Don’t use lime that is a myth.

1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?
2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?
3. If a word was misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know?
4. If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words?
5. Why does “slow down” and “slow up” mean the same thing?

6. Why do we sing “Take me out to the ball game” when we are already there?
7. Why are they called ” stands” when they are made for sitting?
8. Doesn’t “expecting the unexpected” make the unexpected expected?
9. Why are a “wise man” and a “wise guy” opposites?
10. Why is “phonics” not spelled the way it sounds?

Two factory workers were talking. “I know how to get some time off from work.” said the man.
“How do you think you will do that?” said the other one. He proceeded to show her…by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging upside down.
The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing? “I’m a light bulb” answered the guy.
“I think you need some time off,” said the boss. So, the man jumped down and walked out of the factory. The second worker began walking out too. The boss asked her where did she think she was going?
“Home. I can’t work in the dark.”

Here’s one(not really a joke, just something to think about). A can of string beans is “something”. My left index finger is “something”. A parking meter is “something” But, is “nothing”, “something”? What is “nothing”? How do you know when you have “nothing”? What does “nothing” look like? Does “nothing” come from somewhere? If so, where? How does one define “nothing”? Does “nothing” just show up once “something” is removed? What color is “nothing”?… Just Wondering.

Correction: Nothing ain’t anothing because nothing is nothing. When you’ve got nothing you don’t have a thing because nothing is nothing and if you add someting to nothing, nothing becomes something. If you add nothing to nothing you remain at nothing.

Nothing is nothing and you can see right through it. Open your fridge door and see right to the back…you have nothing.
Many ways to see nothing (lol)…
