I'm wimpy around spiders! I hate them! Not small ones, but big ones like tarantulas. They are scary :scared: If someone threw one on me, they better be in the next county by the time I get myself together. If I catch up with them, there will be a hefty price to pay. One of my old co-workers found out the hard way. :evil1:

Yikes! Can't blame you getting back for that. UGH.

So - I go to collect the garbage to put by the curb tommorrow morning, and I find one bag in the garage full of maggots. :sick: After I finish freaking out I relatively calmly take the bag to the curb now, instead of waiting and wash out the garbage can.

Then I call my husband and tell him what happened. His response "Oh yeah, I saw them this morning" :rolleyes: I ask why didn't he do something. Not much of a coherent response. I ask why didn't he at least tell me so I could have cleaned it up earlier. Also not much of a response.

Now I know my husband has a problem with bugs. I saw it a few times with the very large cockroaches in Houston. But would he admit it? Not on your life. Full of excuses. He was leaving for work, what could he do? Plenty IMO

Just ranting. Any other women here have stories about thier husbands or SO's wimping out with poor excuses? :D

This all stems from our having been Alan Aldaed and Phil Donahued over the past couple of decades. :frust:

Would Ward Cleaver have had a problem with this? I don't think so. Heck, Robert Young and Danny Thomas never would have allowed the garbage to sit long enough for bugs to be able to nest there in the first place! If anything like this had occured 40-50 years ago the most we would have heard was "Luuuuucy! You got some 'splaining to do!" :doh:

No, what do we get. We get told to become more sensitive. To talk about our "feewings"... Go ahead cry at the movies... Don't go hunting and killing poor little defenseless Bambi or Daffy or Bugs... :banghead:

Well, ladies this is what your mothers or big sisters demanded from us guys!

Happy now are ya? :D :angel: :whistle:

The garbage was in the garage already. We only get pickup once a week and it has been extremely hot in these parts. The maggots getting into the garbage were not my hubby's fault. My only complaint was him leaving them there after he saw them.

Ok, now I have proof that men are wimps.

See this thread

I didn't say being a wimp was bad and I never called anyone evil. But now I know, as well as being wimps men are cruel. Nasty songs, rude remarks about PMS, mean comments about shopping. :whistle:

Only a wimp can't take a bit of criticism without needing to exact revenge. ;)

Miss Minuet, methinks you are tad confused.
Revenge is nowhere on my mind.
However, if it were, revenge is a long respected motivation for action among manly-men. Manly-men love revenge. There's nothing more enjoyable for a manly-man than to have a steak dinner (porterhouse cooked rare), drink a beer, then go out looking for some sweet, sweet revenge.
I was simply pointing out a mathematical fact, and showing off my limited skill in simple algebra.

Perhaps you should examine your own motivation for a post titled 'Men Are Wimps!'
Totally motivated by love, were you?
Hmm?

I think we're all missing the point here as well.

NEVER argue with a woman. You'll loose every time. Remember they have years of practice and are far better at disecting every possible meaning of every miniscule reference you make.

Best not go there. Trust me on this.

I don't think I've had to deal with maggots in the trash. I always seal my bags and trash pickup is about 50 yards from the house. I have twice a week pickup, so it doesn't get too bad. My trash cans have wheels on them, too, to make getting them down to the road easier.

On the other hand, I've had to deal with roadkill a few times since I moved out here. If you leave them more than a day, the armadillo or raccoon gets all maggoty. The key is to shovel the roadkill quickly into a trashbag, seal it, and put that one in another trash bag to keep the stench down. Whatever maggots left on the ground are dealt with using a little ethyl alcohol and fire! They can pop when you cook 'em!

As for the large roaches you see in Texas, those are Tree Roaches, which can get to be nearly two inches long and yes, they can fly for short distances. Just stomp on them. They are one of the reasons some Texans wear pointy-toed boots, to get those roaches in the corner.

CRUNCH!
