Denisemomof4 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I've been wanting to ask this question all day long. What's one thing you literally refuse to do? I refuse to grow up. :D I can't believe I'm almost 46 and still act like a kid. I always ask my hubby, "Do you think I'll EVER grow up?" His response, consistently, is....... "I hope not!!!" I like to act like an idiot to make people laugh, and to make myself laugh. I have aides in the house helping out with mom almost every day (thank God my Dad took out long term health insurance!!! I could NEVER do this alone!) I like to come down all ready to leave the house, with lipstick all AROUND my lips, just to see the faces the aides will make. :D I can't help it. I'm just a goof ball. :lol::biggrinjester::p:blush5: And watch out if I haven't slept. Then I'm REALLY goofy. Sure I'm serious when I need to be, but.... :tongue_smilie: So, what do you refuse to do?

Desert Rat Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 LOL! Too funny! I love the lipstick trick and I just might try it out some time! I refuse to watch most movies in the drama catagory. I don't care if they won an Oscar. I don't care if it's really, really, really good and I should watch it. If it's sad....forget about it! I was tricked several years ago by The Family Stone. I love Diane Keaton and figured, heck, the previews look like a riot. I was a puddle on the floor by the end of the movie and it upset me for days and days. The worst part? I made my honey sit through it because I thought it would be so funny. He hates dramas more than I do! Now, give me a Will Ferrell or John Candy movie and I'll bring the popcorn AND candy!

Denisemomof4 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Now, give me a Will Ferrell or John Candy movie and I'll bring the popcorn AND candy! I LOVE Will Ferrell and LOVE comedies, but can NOT recommend Step Brother. About the lipstick, I once put bright red on and kissed hubby all over his face while he slept. And then didn't tell him about it when he awoke. I laughed so much that I probably........ had to change my...... um..... undergarments. He laughed, too when he went to the bathroom. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving to the country has REALLY taught me not to fear bugs. But initially I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.

HeatherLynn Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Y'all are cracking me up! I refuse to let go of my "country-ness". Some call it Redneck, but I only accept that as a term of endearment, not a put down. I am FAR from WT, but don't care if others think I am. SO WHAT! We only live once and I am comfortable in my skin! The other medical staff at the hospital where I work call me "country", but I promise you I have been invited to mingle with more cultures and races since embracing my country-ness than in all my prior years. I cannot tell you how many times I get asked: "Can we come visit your house sometime?" "Will you bring us some fresh killed (bacon, pork chops, deer, etc)?" They are all ABOUT my organic meat...if it was legal to sell it, I could make some cash! "How many miles from your nearest neighbor are you?" and many many more. I LOVE IT! Sometimes I have a crowd gathered at work just asking me funny questions that seem so normal to me but to others they are awe inspiring. :rofl: Like when they found out my 10 year old (at the time) had harvested two hogs all on her own. Wait until they hear her latest hunting plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a scorpion check every night before I get into bed and my DH rolls laughing. He is not the one who got 4 stings in one moment by not checking well enough. That was a RUDE awakening! I had to stand back while DD killed a wasp earlier. LOL...I would have killed it had she not been there, but she is scared of NOTHING!

Your daughter DID THAT? :svengo: You really ARE a redneck!!!!! :smilielol5::smilielol5: I left CA, where I was always dressed perfectly, down to the high heels, which were TOTALLY unnecessary and made me about 6 feet tall! Anyway, I moved to the country and...... changed. I still like to look nice (people are usually shocked that I live on a farm because I always go out with make-up on, hair done, decent clothing although sometimes very relaxed clothing) and all. BUT, when my cat died in the pool and I resuscitated her twice, all I had time to do was throw on my MUCK BOOTS. Forget that I had my sweats on THAT I HAD SLEPT IN, and didn't brush my hair OR put on any make-up. There was no time! I had to rush to the vet. Thing was that I forgot about how bad I looked and I walked down the street to get a coffee after watching the vet resuscitate the cat a couple of times. We were finally sent home and when I saw what I actually looked like while walking around town..... well..... :scared::scared: guess what? In CA I had to jump into a lake to save my life! I saw some CUTE little piggies and just HAD to try to get near them! Well, out comes WILD BOAR MAMA and she tried to attack me! Thank God I was near the water, I jumped right the heck in! My brother and boyfriend were SO mad at me. People get worked up over the littlest things. Honestly, is it necessary? :001_tt2::001_tt2: BTW, cat lived but has a serious head injury due to oxygen deprivation. Sadly, I can SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO relate to her.

I also refuse to take out garbage...that's what teen boys do or make beds except mine and dh's. I refuse to put down a good book when i am reading for pretty much anything. I refuse to volunteer to do anything that will take me away from my main tasks of wife, homeschool mom, partner in dh's business. This was a hard one. I refuse to give up my daily walk...even if it interferes with something really important except if the weather is yucky...then i refuse to take my walk:D This is fun...

I have recently met I40. It does have some interesting twists and turns (We used it to get through AZ from Flagstaff to Seligman.). Dh was driving, and I made it a point to be sure he saw EVERY SINGLE speed limit sign. They are there for a reason! That was my contribution. :D Give me a nice FLAT road any day. I do like Route 66 though. Nice and friendly little towns along the way (most of 'em anyway--watch out for the police in Peach Springs :tongue_smilie:). Oh and I do not do plumbing repairs. No way. I will do the yardwork, drywall repairs, paint and trim work, build simple bookcases, loftbeds, install laminate flooring and hope to even learn to do tile someday, but NOT plumbing. I don't much care for electrical work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katemary63 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I refuse to give in to fear. If I'm afraid of something - that's probably what you'll find me doing until I'm not afraid of it anymore. Last weak, I picked up a 20 lb. snapping turtle with my bare hands! I've killed copperheads and water moccacins with a hoe - if the men can do it, so can I. My son is teaching me to fire his pistol. I've been afraid of weapons all my life. After that - I will conquer something else! (BTW - for those of you who are afraid of bugs, If I were you, I'd start a collection, make a real pretty display box and go searching for specimins where ever I could find them. I would CONQUER my fear of bugs that way. But I don't have to collect them, I just smash them between my fingers. :lol:) I refuse to believe I can't. Except spell - I KNOW I can't spell, but I can do ANYTHING else! I refuse to give up. There are some things I've been working on personally for MY WHOLE LIFE! I won't quit, I WILL overcome! I refuse to let ANYTHING stop me from having fun. I don't care what anyone thinks about me. If it looks fun, I'm there. Who cares if I'm 45, overweight and a dork. It's my life and I'm not going to miss out on ANYTHING because of what anyone else thinks. I refuse to cover my legs when it's hot. I don't care what you think about my viens or scars or ugly knees. I'm hot and I'm wearing shorts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
