My husband Ricardo has been called many things by many people. Reliable, Dependable, All-American, Trustworthy, Easy Going....you get the point. Some things he is not associated with is Rash, Tempermental, Easily Agitated, Confrontational- those are more likely words you will hear associated with my name. :)
Yet yesterday after listening to his boss belittle him for about 20 minutes, my mild mannered husband stood up and angrily uttered these words:
"FINE! I GET YOUR POINT! I MADE A MISTAKE! I'M SORRY! NOW, DO YOU WANT TO FIRE ME OR WANT ME TO QUIT?!"
Holy Crappers! If his boss was half as stunned by this as I am- I assure you, he was still quite stunned. I don't blame Ricardo for his remark. I support him. I applaud him. I admire him.
The boss quickly back pedaled; but, Ricardo is having none of it. He's pissed. And he never gets pissed. While this may not be a sign of the end of the world coming. I believe it is a sign that the end of my husband's employment with this company is rapidly approaching.
In the meantime, when people describe Ricardo and I- at least we will have some of the same adjectives in common! :)

Good for Ricardo! GOOD. FOR. HIM!
Go Ricky!!!
As for the same adjectives when you two are described....well, I think it'll be more like the ole bandcamp saying.
"There was this one time...."
:)
Either way, great for him! That's been building a long time I'd guess. In another 40 some odd years, someone had better watch out!

What do you think of My Sisters Farmhouse?
Carsick - because of you mentioning My Sister's Farmhouse (which I have never read before) and because I am nosy like that, I checked out all the hub bub. (I have been reading that blog and PW's Mrs G blog post for over an hour!)
I do not know MSFH but I apparently live very near her. The Baptist Missionary who came to her house with the little boy and the pamphlet from Harvest Baptist Church came to my house too. The church is in Manhattan. I do not attend their church but I do personally know the minister's wife.
What a small world.
And what a mess that whole PW/Mrs G/MSFH deal is.
Why can't we all just get along?
:) Thanks for mentioning it and giving me an evening's worth of entertainment!
I haven't read MSFH regularly in awhile. She seems angry-at everything. She's bashing homeschoolers, PW, religions, you name it. I just don't get it. So, I just don't read it.
I will go on record as saying that I am disappointed. I don't go for passive-aggressive shit. If I have a problem with someone, I go directly to him/her. I don't involve others, and I don't do the he said/she said crap. I am not catty about it, I am direct and to the point. But, once done with someone, I am done. For better or worse.
I am also the LEAST competitive person I know. In everything. So whether someone had more blog hits than me, or got paid more, etc wouldn't even register a blip on my radar, much less a blog about it. It just doesn't matter.
I can only hope that she works through whatever it is that is TRULY bothering her. Because, this new behavior is very unflattering. In the meantime, I just don't read it and keep to myself. Because I really am like a bull in a field, unless someone threatens me or "my herd" I am just content to leave well enough alone. But, once me or mine are threatened...watch out. I mean business. LOL!
Now, back to chewing my cud...

I will also say, that I really like PW. I read her blog almost daily, and from her blog- I don't notice anything amiss. She seems to do a good job taking the high road. So good for her.
And I do agree with you Jen, can't they all just get along? :)
I have to say I really used to like MSFH. She snapped. Or something. Her sisters Blog is Coal Creek Farm and its wonderful. I personaly think Rechelle and her husband are having problems. She is just so bitter. I even posted on her blog that I didn't understand why she was so bitter about home schooling and that she made me feel bad about myself. Guess what!? She didn't post it. She was moderating comments that day. Yesterday was the first time I had read her blog in months and I wasted part of a day reading it. I couldn't stop myself.
Also, I like PW. I also like Mrs.G as a matter of fact after that post about religion I told my husband that I'm going to home school Chrissy next year and I can't wait. (WE just put the girls in public school.
Jen- gald to be of service:)
I really don't know what all the bashing is about.
I almost blogged about this it just makes me want to get in someones head and say WTF and find out why..... I'm nosey too.
Wanna know something completely CrAzY??? Her husband is the doctor in my little bitty town! Our kids go to school together!
Holy crap Jen!!!!! You can get the goods on her!And then tell us! Cause we have to know. Is she wacky? I just don't understand how she became so bitter! What does her husband think? Maybe he works too much and she doesn't get enough attention. He is a small town doctor and they do tend to work alot.
Oh Stacy, this morning I thought of a song for your husband standing up to his boss.
Oh Ricky your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind! Hey Ricky
Yes Jen, use your connections to get the true scoop...inquiring minds need to know!!! :)
Melissa, my husband walks around singing that song ALL the time! Since the 80's/90's that song has been his motto...ugh! LOL!!!
Hey, just thinking...do you think Toni Basil would do a follow up song to "Hey Ricky"....maybe "Hey Stacy"???
Oh Stacy you're so divine
And you have the gift of Rhyme
Hey Stacy!...(clap, clap, clap clap).. Hey Stacy!.... LOL!
Cause that would really help put Ricardo's ego in check :)
I'll call her if you want me to. I'm game:)
my word is corke That dude walks like he's got a bloody corke up his arse
