ODogg's tip of the Day (Page 3)

My husband brought me flowers today. Now I'm suspicious!

I'd have to say that preempove flowers are generally good, but you shouldn't do it more than 2 to 3 times per calendar year for the following reasons:

1) Valentine's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, etc. are all flower days. See? You're easily up to six floral offerings for the temple goddess with a max of 3 PeFOs (Preemptive Floral Offerings)

2) You may have 1 to 2 more FOs per year if she's having a crappy day at work or if she's feeling sick...

3) If she gets a promotion at work, places first in her AG in the next tri, etc. - more flowers...

4) And heaven forbid that you mess up royally... enough said there.

PeFOs are an easy trap top get yourself into, but with a little planning and hard work, you can make them work well for both of you

Son't be. PeFOs are hardly ever a guilt-driven purchase. Mostly, it's woozy feelings of puppy love. ReFO (Redemptive Floral Offerings) are usually purchased AFTER he's been found out.

-Frank

at the local Home Depot, they started selling cut flower bouquets. The sign read "just how much trouble are you in"?

gentlemen - My favorite gesture from my husband (still getting my head around that word....) is coffee in bed. Because he does not drink coffee himself, he truly does it just for me..... so simple, but the impact is big first thing in the morning.

I've found that floral offerings when timed properly can do great things. But, gotta keep the flowers in perspective. Every once in a while when you feel like mixing things up a bit, bring her one (1) and only 1 red rose. Put it in a cool place where she'll find it (ie don't give it to here and say here). Gradually over time, use the power of the rose on appropriate occasions. No need to buy a bunch of crap - its the thought that counts. Its the spontaneous unexpected thought that counts even more. Now that is foreplay.

I still like flowers anytime.... and where's the "Smooth Operator Thread??"

This thread is just too funny!!!!

Why is it that only women come their own manual? What about the guys? I think they shared one manual, passed it around, someone tore out a few pages and put them back in the wrong order, someoneelse stapled in a few hand-drawn diagrams, and someoneelse bound it all together with some hundred-mile-an-hour-tape (duct tape).

Oh yeah, and it was lost for weeks because no one was able to ask where the heck it was!!!!!

Trust me when I say, I love men....

That's CLASSIC Dolly!

WE ARE SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND!


The hot stone massage, while a fabulous idea, is not necessary. Unless you actually HAVE said some truly bone-headed thing.

Pre-emptive flowers would turn me into a mushy puddle of "what can I do for you-ness". Guaranteed to work.

The pre-emptive "I love you" phone call takes two seconds, costs nothing, and is a stroke of genius.

DO NOT leave for work without kissing her good-bye -EVER. Again, costs nothing, takes....okay.... a bit more than two seconds, but you get something out of it too

The Jimmy Buffet song "Why Don't We Get Drunk and #$%@( is NOT NOT NOT foreplay.

Any questions? There will be a quiz on this stuff.

And pick up your socks, for crying out loud!
