Do you argue too much?
I have a friend who tells me that he has noticed a disturbing trend in the last few months. A lot of the women he has met turn out to be rather argumentative. He is not opposed to debate and spirited conversations, but he flat out refuses to engage in an argument about politics, religion, etc.
I am somewhat surprised that he has managed to attract or be attracted to someone who is argumentative. He is laid back, extremely mellow, and is not one to be excitable. Is this a case of opposites attract?
Do you think that there is a difference between debating and arguing?
Have you ever dated the type of person who seems to enjoy fighting, or arguing? Has anyone ever told you that you argue way too much?
I have to ask, I’m sorry: Are you a lover of a fighter?!
Happy Friday!

Speaking of the MLB Wolfpack blog brew-fest — we’re gonna try to re-schedule for next week. So any Blog Bros who want to pound back some beers (or liquor) let me know (brent.arrington@gmail.com). Location can be flexible, but I’m thinking maybe a Taco Mac somewhere — lots of beer, TVs & plenty of locations to choose from.

Celisea – Now I loved the Nordstroms up in NY & Jersey when one of my best buddies lived up there. That was many years ago. Nordstrom Rack is good if you want some different shoes(sandals) and casual stuff. I didn’t like the career/dressier things. I got 2 cute sundresses, 3 cute tops, a workout outfit and the shoes I mentioned. Plus some Urban Decay eye pencils. I didn’t like the kids stuff at all. I’m going to go back for a few pairs of the athletic sandals(Nike, Reebok, etc) and they had some cute yoga clothes & mats and athletic bags.

Last week I read Forbes 2011 riches americans and I think Oprah was around 139th with a net worth around 2.5 billion.
WD, that because Peaches had that “Gap”

Awww looka the guys planning an outing
Yeah I’m sure Oprah thought that b/c of he popularity on her own talk show, that her OWN(pun intended bnr) network would be a shoe in..but she’s since realized that it takes much more than that.

Kimmie – Dang you racked up for real. I have gone into Nordstroms several times but I dunno, their style of clothing just don’t suit me. There’s a Nordstrom’s Rack in the Lenox area. Maybe I’ll go there. I need more perfume anyway so I have to get out. Vera Wang is calling me

Sassy – I like Oprah’s network. People want everything to happen instantly. Other than a few major cable channels like Lifetime or Bravo, I don’t see where OWN is doing any worse than any of the other smaller channels. Really, how many folk do you know rush home to watch Animal Planet or Sci Fi network? I like a lot of her shows – her Life Chapter specials, Welcome to Sweetie Pies. Don’t see what the big deal is. She’ll be alright though.

Celisea – They had some of that Vera Wang perfume on sale too. But I know what you mean about the style of clothes. The stuff I got I had seen in Macy’s and other places but at higher prices. A lot of the stuff had a Stein Mart feel to it, which I don’t particularly care for. Like I said earlier, their main stores up north used to be really nice, almost on the lines of Sax.
But you do have to pick! This one just opened, so of course the selection is going to be pretty good. Down the line, might not be so great.

Kimmie I haven’t seen Welcome to Sweetie Pies but the show looks like fun. Oprah will be/do more than fine….she just needs something to do with her time. I don’t know what Mr. Winfrey (Stedman) is doing but yeah she needs a hobby or something…

Speaking of w/e plans, if anyone is in Alpharetta tomorrow a.m., you should swing by & watch me pound some beers & pound my opponents into submission in my ALTA match tomorrow. My team’s looking to sow up our division + home court advantage in the playoffs. Matter of fact, I do believe it’s about time to start my pre-match drinking regimen…
