It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad…um…yeah.
I had a few (relatively) quiet minutes the other morning, so I clicked around trying to catch up on my blog reading.
BIG mistake.
First, I learned about “the neg.” Didn’t that used to be called something like “Pride and Prejudice?” And then it morphed into the “bad boy appeal,” then became “codependency,” right? How delightful to take something old and make it fresh and new again.
Here is a succinct overview of “the neg” by fellow blogger Ozma:
I’m not one to brag, but it’s been known to work on me. For what it’s worth.
I just don’t see anything new here. I was asked by my husband (a very super nice guy) what the appeal is about “bad boys.” My answer was, “You should know. It’s the same as the appeal of “bad girls,” which you obviously like or you wouldn’t be with me.”
I’m not saying it’s good. I’m saying we all have our pathologies. Do your best (like Ozma did) to make sure being insulted isn’t your kid’s.
I like your blog. What’s with the knitting and breastfeeding?
A professional ADD sufferer sounds like an interesting profession. What are the hours? Is the pay any good?
I think you should keep him. We can call him Winky McStrokester.
I too have major problems keeping focused. Like one time, I… Oh look! There’s a squirrel in my backyard. I like squirrels…
Nice!!!
I always had too many drinks to execute a plan. Now days all these techniques are studied and named. I was an idiot. It is a miracle I got anyone much less a beautiful girl like my wife.
Linked from parent bloggers. Nice site.
Heh!
It’s just a phase. I’m actually a professional ADD sufferer. The tide will turn, don’t worry.
Gee, Alan. What do you think? I do get room and board, though. My guess is I’m good for sheer entertainment value. That and the whole “homemaker” thing (which I truly suck at but do attempt from time to time).
I’ve been noticing that the winky emoticons look like smiley faces that have suffered strokes. I might have to turn them off again.
It’s A.D.O.S.
Attention deficit… oooh, shiny!
If only they’d warned girls about these things back then! Unfortunately, I always had too many drinks to notice schmuckery. Hmmm…a new word! Thanks for visiting, and the very kind compliment.
Glad you liked it! At least, I think you liked it. Right?
Happy to have new visitors; do come back again.
