David and Mary Conley -TAR10
FrostieJ:
:ghug: <-----Me, Mary, David and their three kids.
Sending much love to them. BTW when I am trying to do something that is stressing me out...and my husband is standing there telling me how to do it...I have been known to tell him to shut up. "Shut up" is very endearing in the Southern US....and with us "hicks"...it means ... "Honey, I know that you have already done this and you are really trying to be kind and help, but for right now, can you just let me try to see if I can do it on my own?". We just like to save our words for other things, and "shut up" is easier.
go Mary and David!! :jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy: :jumpy:

I want to first say that it isn't a Kentucky "thing" for the man to be the BOSS. I cringed when I heard Mary speak those words last night but it isn't just a Kentucky "thing". You will find that type of male mentality (or lack thereof) in every state and every country. It is prevalent in some cultures. Is it right. No!!! I was born in eastern Kentucky about an hours drive from Stone. I have lived here for over 40 years in a town only slightly bigger than Stone. I just get tired of fighting the stereotypes.
That being said Mary seems to be able to take care of herself. When she was trying to climb the wall it seemed to me that her husband was being supportinve and trying to help and all she did was shout at him, telling him to shut up. In the beginning they were both nervous and at the end they were working under major stress sure they were going to be eliminated. This is a combination of emotions that can easily bring out the worst in any of us and cause us to say things that we don't really mean.
I don't want anyone to think that I am picking on Rudy. :kuss: I'm not his post was just the one that caught my attention. I've read these forums for a long time, have no problems with Rudy and usually agree with him.
I just hope this experience will expand the horizons of Mary and her husband and she can bring this back to their children.

Well, I'm eating crow! :groan: After I posted about David and Mary, I rewatched my tape and you all are right. Mary told him to shut up and actually, they were going back n' forth at each other...AND there were compliments as well between them. So, I apologize for not getting the facts right...and for my hasty misjudgement this fine couple. Sorry if I offended anyone. :-\ Didn't mean to.
Oh & btw, me's a SHE! I'm a crazy ladiiiee, crazy in love with Rudy Boesch, from Survivor One! :luvu:
Love ya all,
Ruday :hrt: :luvu: :hugs:
p.s. Sorry I didn't get back here sooner to respond...it's been a crazy, busy week for me!
Also, s1...just want to give you a very warm !!!! We're very happy to have you here! We welcome and appreciate your comments! :tup:
s1:
Thanks Rudy and somewhere in the deep recesses of my wandering mind seems like I knew you were a she not a he. Sorry about that. And I am very familiar with thee Rudy. Loved him in Survivor 1 or S1 hence my username. I'm not a frequent poster but am a constant reader. I am always amazed at the thorough job the people on this site do in studying all the vidcaps. It's also nice to be able to discuss the show, offer a different opinion and not be made to feel like you're an "idiot" because you disagreed with someone. I'm sure puddin' knows what I'm talking about. I look forward to hanging around!

S1 is a cool username...short n' sweet! :tup: I figured you must be a fan of Survivor1 and probably Rudy! Incidentally :ot: ....did you know Rudy had open heart surgery in August? I posted about it here somewhere ??? ....In one of the S13 topics. Anything/Everything
