Portfolio of the Week

[Karel]

I think this is the POTW thread ... yes ...

I am still long PCCC and just forgot to mention that I was on vacation for two weeks and wanted PCCC long for those two weeks My bad. We had a very nice, relaxing vacation, for those who want to know.

Regards,

Karel

I didn't mean that I though Doug did not respect his partner. He mentioned that he was going to post ways to make women happy. I was giving him my #1 way

Regarding the rest. I'm sure you're right. I have no basis to go on, but I like to think in perfect terms, however.

I'm sure one day you will meet the right woman for you and she'll mold you into the best person you could be or want to be. I hope that you are that fortunate.

Errm, no. No daily report, thank you. We went to Hosingen, Luxembourg, and had a self-catering appartment. Experience has taught us that with this kind of appartments a six-person one will serve two very well (three will prove too much). It did again, this time. We made trips mainly in the North of Luxembourg, in their Ardennes, and once to Trier in Germany, just across the border. We also walked a lot and did some fungus hunting with the camera. It's a kind of wildlife that is pretty stationary, so that suits me just fine.

Thanks Karel. Sounds like a very nice trip. We also enjoy hiking in the woods. Nice photograph. What type of mushroom? Is it edible?

[jiesen]

Fantastic pick, Gwhiz! You are HUGE!!! Congrats to Rob and Webs, too.

I'll take AMLN long again for this week.

Doug, this is just my opinion, and I'm not passing any kind of judgement on you, but I think what you just explained is a relationship which is centered around deception. That type of thing in the short term may make things 'easy', but in the long run it will show how detrimental it actually was when things really start to matter.

In my life, Doug, I surround myself with people that tell me exactly how it is. You can put as much lipstick on a pig as possible, but no matter how good you make it seem, it's still a pig.

It is selfish to make a decision that affects more than just you without at least consulting the other person (people) involved.

btw: Doug, you please everyone by giving them the respect the are due. Respect your partner, and she'll be happy

OK...Peanuts gets me in trouble...jk...I decided to let my wife read this little interaction.

Here is her response to New Born Baby's post:

"Is that guy living in the 1850's"???

Here is her response to Peanut's post:

"Guess he set you straight" (meaning me)

In response to my post:

"I know you do that" (So where is the deceit Peanuts???)

and

"I can clean the house better than you anyway" (But she really can't complain...I told her long ago to hire someone to do the chores she doesn't want to do).

To each his own, but even though one pesonality in a relationship has to be a little more dominant than the other (nothing is EXACTLY equal) I would never want to BE THE BOSS on every matter. I prefer women who can think for themselves and take care of business. If a major event occurs and they need my help and/or support...I'm there. But this Boss stuff in a relationship is for the birds. I realize that some women (and some men) want to be totally dominated or taken care of by their partner...But I would never want a woman like that...And I would never be like that.

I was exaggerating on my decision making process...But in reality, I'm a very flexible guy...And I can live with my wife making a lot of decisions...I am not a person who always has to have their own way.

There are plenty of women out there who want some guy to come along and take care of everything...I'll leave those women to someone else...I prefer a give 'n take relationship.

I know some of what I wrote does not apply to you Peanuts...But maybe it does to some others???


Best, Doug(IIC)

[Rob]

Hey, Lyehopper, would you mind taking the scorekeeping duties back, starting immediately? I think I'm about through here. Put me down for CEO long, which may or may not be my final pick in the contest. I was going to put Quasi-Ernie in TWGP long, but that's the scorekeeper's choice. Here's a list of the positions so far.

Thanks.
