Muses on "velvet hammers" I pity my poor ex-wife's new husband. Whew! I am sure she is driving the poor guy insane. That woman has a velvet hammer with spikes on it. <ggg> You should meet her step-mother. Talk about professional training in the use of the velvet hammer. Damn! Just porchin' (and thinking under the influence), John

Karen - that is so funny. I'm really going to be aware of "well, bless your heart" from now on. Thanks for the laugh. Rose

pierceaero! I am from the deepest of the South... I respect you for attempting to come back on our views of the southern women......I would have appreciated the story a little more had it been in the 1st person. My friend who lives in Columbia, SC (not totally by choice) If not by choice I would venture to guess your friend was not born and raised in SC. Not there by choice also reveals to me that this person could lean a little towards being negative when it comes to Southern Women. :the south, you can say the meanest things about someone, as long as it is :prefaced with "bless her heart." :And if someone says to you, "well, bless your heart," they're basically :saying, "bite me." ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE.....Just so happens I am home visiting in Alabama and invited my sister in to read what you have just posted.....as to "Bless her heart" not being sincere. She was dumb founded to say the least. I am going to judge the rest of your statement from the above as being ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE also. (had a little too much to drink) I would have to agree as to the too much to drink. southern women may act like they don't know what is going on, but they are always thinking, planning, calculating And don't forget the above statement and perhaps you west coast gals can learn a few things from us Southern gals. I would like to encourage you to start thinking.....we Southern women do have a tendency to think. I would also encourage you to start planning.....we southern women do have a tendency to plan things.....we like things to fit together so we probably are guilty of calculating every once in a while.....you might try it sometime. Sometimes things just work out real swell we when we plan, think and calculate them. Can you explain to me how you work something through. Do you just jump in with out thinking, planning or calculating them. This so called "Velvet Hammer" never heard of it. Sounds like some horse movie Liz Taylor did when she was a kid. BTW: In the South when ya got a headache ya don't have sex. Sometimes a man can give you a headache. I did find one truth: You are young and I also believe ya gotta a lot of time on ya hands when it begins to rain and mists. Pierceaero: Glad to have ya on the board.....to bad ya ain't coming to Atlanta....maybe next time.....Thought I would razz ya a little.....Don't believe everything ya hear about us Southern women....all the good stuff is true but the bad stuff ain't. TRUST ME! Have a great day! Thanks for posting. love ya anyway, dealer@southernbythegraceofGod

Hi Karen, don't have a lot of time because of preparations but let me say this. Yes, Southern women are like Steel Magnolias and are just as cunning as any women in any quadrant of this planet. I was married to the quintessential Scarlet and she could hold her own against any lady in the world, and proved it one night with a lady from LA at one of our company outings. She never said a word, simply grabbed my arm and stared the other lady down. BUT! - in summation there is still only one thing men must absolutely know about all split tails - THEY WILL FORGIVE ANYTHING BUT POVERTY - the rest of the so called variables are negotiable, the former is NOT. As for the Velvet Hammer, have not met a lady yet that does not understand that dynamic. Men use the Texas Ten hammer. Value for value my dear, makes the world go aound. women know they are sitting on millions and so do men. I was actually going to save this nfo for the seminar I was going to give at the party. These are the things that can be hashed out at the party. Too bad you can't come. Selah, V

hi karen, this surely has to be in the league of urban legends. i was at a conference not too long ago and a woman from manhattan told all us southern belles that we needed to learn how to deal with men they way they did up north and she proceeded to tell the same story almost word for word except that bless your heart meant GFY and it was the northern women using the VH technique. we all laughed and discounted the whole story as most of the transplanted northern women down here were pretty much the same as we are here with the exception of the accent (we don't have one they do <g>) distinguishing women by geographical location is assinine. this is america and we are a melting pot of women with mixed heritages from around the world. a bitch is a bitch no matter where she comes from. now let's drop all this nonsense. she
