Wow...progdad is a really really loud breather.

[progmom]

We moved the PC from the guest room to our bedroom (which is where I camp out at night when I'm catching up on work/posting) to make room for progdad's cousin who is staying with us this week - somewhat unexpectedly.
So for the first time in a long time...we're both on computers in the same room. He's writing record reviews while I'm posting on DU. And I have to tell you....it's kind of annoying. And you really can't tell your spouse to breathe more quietly now, can you? :shrug:

1. It's a bad sign when you tell your spouse to stop breathing, yes.

[progmom]

5. well...i don't want him to stop breathing.

I would just like it if he did it a little more quietly. Like...through his nose. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

24. so he is breathing through his mouth?

That is odd. It is usually quieter to breathe through your mouth. Many is the time I have sat next to a snorting nose-breather and wanted to tell him "you are not a horse, man, open up your mouth and breathe!"

[progmom]

28. to be fair

he's suffering from allergies right now.

[hfojvt]

31. exactly why the nose is not going to be any quieter

much less provide enough oxygen.

2. like michael myers?

[progmom]

3. i dunno - i never saw those movies

that is a movie, right? and not some guy you invited into your very pink, frilly bedroom?

[sundog]

4. he breathes loudly

you really need to catch up on your films young lady :P

[progmom]

6. and i should start with those films?

:shrug:

[sundog]

7. yes all 16 of them

:P

[progmom]

8. wow - it must be a good film if they made 16 of them

i'll go right over to netflix and add them. naw - fuck that - i'll go right over to amazon and buy 'em.

:woohoo:

[BrightKnight]

13. Perhaps Russ had a fear of suffocation. --n/t

[Spinzonner]

9. Cone of Silence

[yvr girl]

10. Just tape his mouth closed

That should solve the problem.

[swag]

11. You should hear him at the urinal.

No you shouldn't.

It always amazes me when I'm sitting on a toilet in a public men's room, ostensibly taking a shit but actually observing human behavior, and here the guy at the urinal breathing, shuddering, quivering, quaking, moaning at the glory of his golden throughput.

Or hear the guys in the next stall actually doing what I am ostensibly doing. Birth trauma. My long lost placenta twin, as RD Laing would have it.

I think trauma from such encounters eventually forced me into an ill-advised, hence abandoned Paxil prescription. I will admit that the telescopically delayed orgasms were spine shattering, but I had been hoping for something else, Glaxo, aside from a rare respite from anorgasmia.

Back to the men: they moan and grunt mere inches away from you, then they are clipping their nails at their desks, to the stern tones of Brit Hume's Viagra posse.

[progmom]

18. wow. you should save this post,

it's fascinating. :)

[swag]

21. it is right to give thanks and praise

lift up your hearts

[progmom]

23. and also with you

;)

[swag]

26. (Rubs shake-partner's palm with crafty middle finger)

[progmom]

27. i had a feeling your middle finger was crafty

:hi:

[swag]

30. What person still capable of reading doesn't know his way around the yoni?

Thanks for the wave, progmom.

Always a pleasure to see you.

[mark414]

12. hi progmom

[progmom]

:loveya:

i was just over in the hip hop group today, reading and missing you. how are you??????????????? :hug:

[mark414]

19. i am good

it has been a hectic, up in the air summer. i've moved a couple times, have been working WAY too much and am trying to figure out how best to work my way out of this relationship that i don't want to be in.

BUT

i leave for NYC and Boston on Friday, until the 28th. i'm about to get a big raise at work. and i have a roof over my head.

life is good.

a big :* to you

[progmom]

20. will you be seeing bettyellen? give her a hug for me.

and good luck with the relationship. :hug:

[mark414]

22. i will

and i will just give her an extra big hug, for the both of us.

and i'll be hangin with sniffa up in beantown...and blitz might come up as well

my moving this summer has been because of the inability to find permanent, or at least long term, living. people are shady or shit falls through...but i'll be ok. i hope to have something permanent soon...so then i will have the internet again (i'm not at home) and i can hang with all you folks again but especiallllllyyy you progmomma :loveya:

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Loud breathers - I have to admit, I am very prejudiced against them.

I see it as a sign of low intelligence or low breeding.

One's life should not be loud enough for other people to hear, whether it's your breathing, your footsteps, your chewing, your rustling around.

The only thing other people should hear is sneezes, coughs, and speech.


I do NOT breathe loudly. Just, you know, sayin'.

[progmom]

17. yeah - sounds like that bug me too. chewing. ugh.

good thing i love the guy so much. :)

[Fridays Child]

16. Hold the pillow down a little harder, hon.

He'll quiet down in a few minutes.

:evilgrin:

[sundog]

25. ...

:spray:

[merh]

29. Plug earphones in your computer and listen to some soothing

music and tune out the breathing.

Take a few deep breaths and relax - it is late and the annoyances of today are soon in the past. Tomorrow is another day!

Go get some rest and let your body and mind relax and recharge. :hug:

:loveya:

[u4ic]

32. Maybe he's breathing heavily

just because you're near? :loveya:

[AussieDave]

33. It's really disconcerting to be near a loud breather

you're right - it's also distracting. I wonder what causes it ???
