Nails on the Blackboard
I try to spend time with my wife just by being in the same room. Just that little proximity leads to better communication, understanding and sometimes the equivalent of fingernails dragging over a blackboard.
She often watches shows not geared toward men with the word "Wives" in the title. If these "softer sex" shows have anything in common it is that they manage to put together groups of women with disparate personalities, a penchant for confrontational behavior, and back-biting.
Another thing they have in common is at least one woman with an irritating squeaky, screechy, whiney voice. First, where the hell do they find these voices which I term “the Kardashian modulation.” The only I can compare it with is the sound of little children talking, but with the cute removed. "The Shahs of Sunset" is another show with another "screecher" and she is every bit as irritating as the others.
I've become adept at ignoring all of the shows except for those piercing sandpaper scrapes over my ears making me howl like any canine within a five block radius. I'm open to new trends, styles or fads, but since when did it become fashionable to sound like a caterwauling siren on a 1957 police car?
I remember the "Valley Girl" nasality that made me want to vomit. This sounds like the "Valley Girl" with alto crotch rocket strapped to it. I am usually allowed to leave the room when it drones on and on, but sometimes I am working on my computer which numbs some of the irritation. Is it just me?
For the rest, instead of Aspirin, I've reserved a single .357 magnum bullet.

I have similar problems with my wife. It all boils down to me "allowing her to be herself." It used to be a one way street, but after 8 years she is now starting to grant me the same favor.

I don't mind so much because I've got most of it tuned out except for those Kardashian Voices. Perhaps, the only other thing bothering me during those shows is being questioned about a show I am obviously not watching much less listening to, but she'll ask any way.

A woman's soft southern drawl common in the rural south has the ability to go from charming to alarming in a nano-second. ..... "bless your heart" .....

Jim, while I have a certain aversion to a Southern drawl, it can have its charm especially compared to the Kadashian screech. I don't see how a man could--never mind--I was about to say something about how could any many, but I realized the stupidity of what I was about to say.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
