A "cowboy attitude"? Moi? giggle,giggle,giggle
But many thanks for the explanation.
I was sitting in a strip joint in a little southern Oregon town one night (don't ask) and one of the patrons got out of hand. The bouncer, who was sitting next to me said, "I'm about to get western." which tickled the hell out of me. When the guy had been knocked silly, the bouncer kinda grabbed him by the collar to lift him. Still shakey on his legs, the bouncer then said to him, "You better cowboy up, son." Then, he tossed him out.
In regards to marriage, as any situation, you need only ask yourself three questions (regardless of whether you are a guy or a gal):
A)Where am I?
B)Why am I here
C)Who is here with me?
Those three questions, if answered honestly, will prevent a lot of potentially bad marriages and save a lot of potentially good ones.
