Victoria's Story

Hi Everybody, I am in an enviable situation right now...told my X I was going out of town w/ a group of friends for Labor Day, so he took my son (ll-yrs-old - I started late) for the long weekend. Then I decided I didn't want to drive & would rather put new hardware on my computer & putz around the house. So NOBODY knows I'm home (except those I want to know...)! This is great! My time is my own! So...what have I done in my life that's interesting... I'll tell you my "Canoe Story." When we moved up to Ocoee Tn to live in the middle of the woods (very cool), we decided to go canoeing (sp?). We'd done this in the St. Johns River in Jacksonville a hundred times, searching out the little branches of the river and seeing some very beautiful stuff. We put in near by our house, started paddling around. Of course to keep the conoe straight, I would have to paddle about 4 times to every 1 time that Bryan (my starter husband) paddled in the back. Infurriating! So, away we go and suddenly begin to hear this "MOOOING," like what a COW does. Rounding a bend, we come upon about 100 cows with fences on the sides of their pasture to keep them in, BUT NO FEN...Expand for more
CE TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE RIVER..... What happened next still haunts me. The Cows started mooing and coming at us! I said, "Oh, Bryan, they're going to kill us! PADDLE, MAN, PADDLE!!!" I will never forget his bemused expression as I paddled like mad, only to go in a circle because HE wasn't doing anything but smiling. "They're not going to hurt us," said he who believes himself to be endowed with all knowledge, past, present and future. "I don't care if they're not going to hurt us! I just want to get away from them. They're MOOING! Just use your big, strong arms and PADDLE." (Husband Psychology 101: Agree with him. Restate what you just said [he's most likely forgotten]. Make an obvious statement he can observe with his senses, so he doesn't have to think about it,eg. "They're MOOING" - the "MOO" can be heard. Then restate your request couched with insincere but flattering terms.). By this time one was trying to step into the canoe with us and we finally started to move forward and get away from them. It was pretty scarey. It also irks me when people stay calm in a semi-crisis situation. I challenge anybody to beat this thrilling story!
