How Do You Guys Survive Doing Something

[Fidei Defensor]

I usually stomp my feet and cry. I never have to go anywhere or do anything.

[sweens8403]

usually I will just try to distract myself beforehand so my nerves don't get all edgy.

Have you thought of doing it in a spirit of penance for past sins? That usually works for me.

[BG45]

I usually take my mind off it to something else.

My confessor would probably find that to be ironic on so many levels. It sure feels like penance. The archbishop's secretary is even coming. That's like having the boss' wife over for tea.

Bring this drink.......if half of what happens in this commercial happens tomorrow, it won't be a waste of a day.

Sorry

Its not that a big of a deal. Just another drink commercial that says if you drink their product than your life is changed and everything is cool.

Well, I hope tomorrow turns out for you.

Well... if you pray for me I'll pray for you!

I'm presenting my Senior Theology Seminar next Monday and it is on the purpose of the conjugal act. I get into it's purposes and then what counteracts those purposes (or breaks the conjugal act). It gets into nitty gritty details of different acts that are not procreative such as [spoiler]masturbation, oral, anal, coitus interruptus, vulvar coitus, and coitus reservatus[/spoiler] explaining each one and any possible exceptions like [spoiler]for purposes of foreplay or completion of the marital embrace for the woman[/spoiler].

Not so bad in itself... except my girlfriend is in my seminar class

Just remember for your thing that the completion for the female actually aids in conception. It's the equivalent of helping the salmon get upstream.

I hope the bribe was extravagant

While never in that particular situation, I find phrases like:
Thank you
You're too kind
and the like very helpful

[quote name='CatherineM' post='1759590' date='Jan 23 2009, 08:57 PM']I have to go to an event tomorrow, that I really don't want to attend. I'm required to go. I'll be expected to go. I've agreed to go. Everyone apparently knows that I don't want to go, from the number of women who have called to offer me rides. My husband has told me I can do anything I want in the morning. He's trying to bribe me into not taking a runner.

In college when I had stage fright, I just got drunk. I can't pull that one anymore. Maybe I should see what kind of bribe he's willing to give me to go.[/quote]
You can think of it in one of three ways:

a.compare it to the worst day of your entire life
b.the transistional phase of labor
c.or working off your purgatory time


THe first you have probably gone thru [ particularly after hearing your MIL stories], there are no words to describe the second one, and the third gets you closer to heaven.
And in the great scheme of things in your life, this will be over in a millisecond.

The problem is that the book is about the worst day of my entire life, several actually. I'm going to just breath deep, and take each question, one at a time. He's going to take me out for a nice lunch beforehand, and if all else fails, I will take a pill. I know it's important for me to be there.

Ugghh!

I was given some ativan when I was 19, and I took very few of them and threw out the bottle at some point. (They were very nice tho.)

I go back to counseling again/again/again when I'm like 24 and we discussed some pills. The fact that I told the guy that ativan made me feel better was enough for him to say no in an instant.

Wow, Slappo, hilarious!

Good luck with your topic!
