[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 582485, member: 84"] You've needed to snarl back at Buck from the beginning and to hell with what Tony thinks about it. When his mouth gets started, shoot out those barbs and hit him where it hurts most. M respects me simply because I refused to allow him to intimidate me. He might or might not like me (no clue if he does, don't care one way or the other) but he does respect me. He'd give me one of those deadly looks of his and I'd give it right back tenfold. He backed down every time. Drove him nuts. If he was behaving properly and nice, he got the same in return. It surprised him at first that I gave back better than I got. I think most people, especially women, are intimidated by his oddness and when he gives that look he looks like a tv psychopath. Having grown up in a family of difficult children with some serious mental illnesses.........ehh, doesn't phase me. Once that was established, he and I were good, so to speak. And since I did it to him, I think he was very leery of trying it with either Nichole or easy child. Good thing as they'd have blasted his ears off and then sister in law would've creamed him but good. lol Janet, you need to be "yourself" in this situation. Know what I mean?? As for the putting food into the trash and leaving it by the door.............empty it onto his bed when he does it. No joke. He'll do it right or he'll sleep in garbage. An in your face natural consequence that doubtful even Tony could object to, if he does, big deal....he has to go to work sometime. lol [/QUOTE]
