I have to say I'm a VERY emotional person, and that's one my traits that Ronnie says he loves sooo much...but sometimes he "makes fun", for lack of a better term, of me for it. Like the other night, I finally got a call from him, the first one since he got moved to the prison, I was talking to him twice a week until he got moved, then all of the sudden no calls for like three weeks, almost four, so naturally when he called and I heard, "hello, you have a collect call from 'Ronnie'..." I FLIPPED!!!

I WAS BALLING!!! I mean some serious boo hooing ladies...and what was my sweetheart of a man doing when they connected the call???...LAUGHING!!!! He thought it was hysterical that i was crying...but laughing in a good way. I must admit, it was good to hear his voice even if he was pickin on me.

we didn't get to talk long, but...I'm glad I got picked on!!!

Mine is good for taking all his frustrations out on me.

AWWW Worleysgirl that's so sweet. My man giggles when I cry sometimes too. It's NOT because he's making fun of me it's because it touches him in that special way. ;) BUT we constantly pick on each other for our own little quirky things we do. He cries at girlie movies and that cracks me up. NOT because I think it's 'funny" but because I thinks it's cute as hell. I LOVE that about him. If he knew I just told all you that he cries he would kill me :D TEE HEE He says when I cry it reminds him I'm a girl. That is a cute joke b/w us cuz I'm the mean feisty one. The "bulldog" of the relatiosnhip if you will. So when I cry he really laughs out of pure joy to know I feel that deep. :)

Ya know, I just LOVE this subject. The people around us crack up at us cuz we pick on each other so much. :D It's so funny to watch I'm sure, I have a GREAT time with my husband. Whether it be us picking on each other or just sitting there. But we make each other laugh all the time. It's all in fun. ;) Thanks for bringing this up. It made me smile just to remember him this way right now.

Stacy

I think sometimes a lot of people get picking on and teasing mixed up. As far as him laughing when he called. He was probably so happy just to be in touch with you, and that was his reaction.

That's soo funny worleysgirl :D I often do the same thing! When it's been so long since we last spoke, I cry, and he snickers. =) Guys are good at coping in that same way, making light of the situation. I know that I find myself making cracks at him all the time, we have fun being silly like that! :)

Well i have been blessed with an equally emotional man. Its a scorpio thing perhaps huh? I know when Stacy and i were at the G2G, we both started to cry at the same time! All my life, from my father down to 2 husbands, criticized me for crying. My second would call me a 'weirdo' jokingly cuz i would get so excited in the first buds of spring, and take pictures of little birds. He siad he was kidding but it hurt anyway. I have always felt nothing but unconditional acceptance from Jerry with my extreme emotions. My passionate personality is what he loves about me, and htis acceptance is why i love him!
When i get my calls...I CRY THROUGH THE WHOLE THING! Then have him call back so i can cry some more, then we laugh! So cool! they feel loved when we do this. I am glad to hear you had the UGLY cry...serious boo-hoos! Good for the soul. And i sure feel ya on that!

Donna

I am 11/18 and Jerry is 10/26....

Donna i know you can relate! Its a Scorpio thing!

lol
Dawn

mine he doesnt pick on me like to be mean but we do pick on each other it goes both ways but we do it in a friendly lovely way not to hurt each others feelings but just to have fun take stress from each other from missing each other. he's a serious person in there so when were together it's all fun and games i love my honey

My guy teases me to know end about never haing passed air in front of him!!!! He swears that one day I am going to slip and let out a big one!!!!! I just look at him and tell him to grow up....he just wont leave it alone!!... Is that too much information????

We tease each other quite a bit. We enjoy one another's sense of humor. Laughing is the best medicine sometimes:) .

Me and my husband tease each other but he does tend to go over board sometimes, at least I think so, but he says I am way too sensitive and I must admit I am. But I can never stay upset with him, I just look at him, he smiles and I smile and I cant stop, LOL.

My husband isn't much of a joker but he likes to laugh and we laugh together a lot. Recently though I think his sentence has gotten the better of him. He is stuck there with very little chance of coming home (unless the president of the U.S. has a heart). So, the rare moments when he is laughing I let him laugh at whatever he wants to laugh at! Even if it's me! (it seldom is, but I wouldn't care!)

Right now i am waiting on a letter from him with comic strips that he cut out that he said reminded him of me....if that tells you anything :-). He's always picking on me. But he's just as sensitive if not worse!!!

My guy teases me about coming on so tough & being a big pile of mush & feathers inside; he also teases me a LOT about wearing dresses, makeup & "girly" things; before I got together with him, just WHEN would I have done any of that??? I tease him about his accent & some of the things he says---then he makes sure he says them to me every chance he gets. He is SO cute!!!

Dre doesn't pick on me all the time. When he does, it over something silly. And you know what, I really don't mind. I love seeing my man happy.

I agree with Poni'swoman -- I do think people tend to mix up getting picked on and teasing mixed up. My hubby has never picked on me. Now we will tease the hell out of each other. And we love to laugh and joke with one another. He says I sometimes have a strange sense of humor.

My man asked me the other night if I had a thing for the MCI collect caller....he told me I always listen to him through the whole thing. (Little does he know, I am usually getting my cigs and finding a private place so I can talk to him) So, I told him yeah...MCI guy turns me on. LOL. We are always like that with each other though.

yes picking on someone and teasing someone...i agree with you guys on that. we tease all the time as well. he's never said anything hurtful or mean to me, EVER. He knows I would have to beat him down. haha and he also knows I would get sooo much enjoyment out of doing that. hahahaha

YES FROM TIME TO TIME HE TENDS TO GET SISSY LOL BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M FORGETTIN ABOUT HIM BECAUSE I DON'T WRITE :thumbsup: BACK SOON ENOUGH I UNDERSTAND HIS PAIN I WILL NEVER LEAVE HIM WE ARE BESTFRIENDS FOR LIFE.:D

OK girls...first of all those prison phones are right there in front of all the gaurds and other inmates that we have spent all of our efforts trying to be a bad ass in front of, so naturally when we feel those tears coming, we try to do anything possible to fight them back so giggling is the best responce. Usually we giggle with watery eyes and a sniffly nose but we saved face in front of all those other tuff guys. The real tears are shed in private under the covers at night. So just remember, if he's on a prison phone and giggling...he's really wanting to cry. Thank God for giggles!

gentlemanbandit....Welcome to PTO....I love it when the men come around and offer us the view from the other side! Come visit us again soon!

Gentlemanbandit...thankyou for that post, I really felt it. Have chatted with ya in the chat room before, I believe you have just joined PTO. Happy to see your still here.

Just recently got our calls back again, and the laughing it wonderful. as far as being picked on...I couldnt think of anything cuz we are both very emotional people. However...he has been picking on me lately because I have insisted i could use one of the BIG macheines at work. I was told I am too small, so a couple weeks ago they let me...and i did it, but i will not be able to have a permanant job on that macheine. So now he is teasing me saying "Aww they wont let ya play with the BIG toys..." Its cute and i laugh.

Dawn

Oh aren't those calls great? I so much miss the laughing...

I was thinking he never teases me, but then i remembered! I keep telling him I'm boycotting contact visits from now on but he keeps writing "hope to see you soon, j/k!" -- because he knows damn well my resolve on this whole visit boycott is gonna last about five minutes once he's out of ad seg. Oh well, what can I say? :)

We tease each other ALL THE TIME!!!

Not so much pick as tease though. Being that we are both Virgos we can be nit picky with each other, and that I DON'T LIKE.

Teasing, FORGET IT!! I love it. I grew up teasing to show affection, so I'm just a natural I guess.

He loves it and we have so much fun with each other. I love to make him laugh, because his whole face lights up and he has this GREAT laugh. I don't mind being teased either. We are so silly sometimes.

I think you just have to know where to draw the line. I won't lie we can get very tacky with each other, but we KNOW that we are being funny. Both people have to be able to take what they dish out also, or that causes HUGE problems.

We pick on each other but its' all done in fun.When we 1st get on a visit, we are serious and get alot of what needs to be discussed out of the way, then we pick and have fun with each other.But never pick on each other to hurt the other

My baby picks on me but it is all in fun...I do it to him too...I have this obsession at visit that the table has to be clean. So he will scatter things around just to see me straighten them back up. Or leave the lid off the pepsi bottle only to watch me screw it back on. I talk with my hands a lot too, so sometimes when we are talking he will just hold my hands once he was playing and said sit on your hands and talk to me, I could not do it...I think when you have fun in anyway you can it makes visits seem better, it sets the tone for his whole week...plus I know when he leaves me the guys on the yard give him a hard time about him being so in love...so he gets picked on double...

Lordy does Lance pick on me!!! He is constantly pickin on me and Ashley(his sister, my best friend) talkin bout how much time we spend together!!! Its alright though, because I pick on him right back!!!! Especially since they started makin him shave his head!! OOO what a touchy subject!! lol

he picks on me ALL THE TIME! loser! naaaa, im jst kiddin i love him :D

My Fiance and myself definitely pick on each other just about the same amount. I pick on him about silly little things, trying to lighten his mood about being incarcerated. And he does the same with me trying to keep me smiling, instead of always being sad without him here. I think it's a good thing to do though, it makes things a lot easier if you can look back and think of something funny said, and laugh or smile.

Oh yeah he teases me... but I do love it. I love giving him a chance to pick on me and bring some laughter to his day. Sometimes I have to tell him to lighten up a little or I'll remind him of something that he said.. and he'll get all serious and tell me he was just kidding and ask if I thought he was serious... lol!! Just recently I pointed out to him he did not thank me for 2 books I ordered him for Christmas... of course I spoke to soon as he said thank you in a letter I had not received yet... and now he thanks me for every single thing even buying him a soda! I know he is just being a smart @#$ but I love him!

Yeah, he does it and i sometimes get mad. He does it because he knows i get in a sexy mood afterwards.:D

We pick on each other all the time, little things mostly as we both love a giggle. we also have some "pick on"- nicknames... :)

he pickes on me in a good way, sometimes thats how he shows he loves me.

We pick on eachother all the time in person and in letters. He is always finding stuff to "burn" me with and most the time I have a good "burn" for him. He has a twin also in prison with him so all 3 of us are always making jokes about me leaving him for his twin . We mess with eachother every chance we get helps pass the time:)

I think me and him both pick on each other.. it's part of our little kid nature in both of us ;)

Yeh Mine Is A Scorpio Too But Geesh Sometimes Its Overwhelmng With So Many Emotions From Him I Am More Mellow Who Knos

Im always picking on my fiance, sometime he start but end up getting mad cause I take it overboard. I be trying to tell him chill out, so most of the time he tries not to pick cause he know I'll take it there.

My fiance is all out rude to me most of the time. I do all I can for him and he still finds something to be negative about. I know being locked up can be stressful, but so is being in this world raising three children alone. He does not believe i will stick by his side and it really hurts cause I have been here from the start no matter how upset I am at him, or what he has done. I love him but he needs to lighten up or be left alone to argue with the prision walls.

Mine does it all the time. His favorite thing to pick on me is my accent. I am from the south so there are some words i say that you can defintely tell my accent. He is from the north. He will aggravate the heck out of me on words like, talk and didnt and many others i cant remember. But if the way i say certain words will make him smile or laugh then i am all for it..lol
but it does get frustrating sometimes.

My honey doesn't pick on me at all. We are both Pisces and we talk and write about our feeling for each other and help each other when one of us is down...yeah, he vents out to me sometimes, but so do I.
We share good times and bad times.....most of the time he helps me sort things out with my life out here.

My husband doesn't pick on me either. He is quite sensitive, but sometimes I pick on him but it is all in fun and light, never to hurt his feelings.

of course you know how they act! they're spoiled like we are the reason they're in there.

This is an older thread but, I'm going to add to it anyway. My guy teases me sometimes just to keep me on my toes, I think. :) Like one time, when we were talking on the phone, I forgot what I was going to say, and he said "Well, it must have been a lie!" But where we are from, that is an old joke, and the way he says it always makes me laugh and say "Yea, whatever boy!" ha, ha!

We mainly tease each other about our regional accents - I am pretty good at imitating his, but he's far off base in doing mine (in MY opinion). :)

Sometimes when I say something heartfelt and serious, he'll pick that time to imitate me. I tell him to just keep it up, because I am going to get him good later.

He HATES it when I cry. It kills him and he begs me to stop. So I almost always keep from doing it in his earshot.

Yeah well you are not the only one that gets picked on... THAT IS FOR SURE!!! My man thinks its funny to laugh at my hair... I have naturally curly hair which means that my hair is frizzy and he likes to call me carpethead or some other names but I just get him right back... If he didn't I would think that he did something wrong or hes sick if you know what I mean...

my husband and i make fun of eachother all the time! we have all these inside jokes and one liners that we just laugh at when they get said. i always tell him that laughter is good for the soul and when we are together again one day we will laugh and enjoy it. so we laugh often. sometimes he gets me really good and i get upset. but i cant stay mad at him. i just look at him and he says but i love you babe and kisses my head. and im become putty. i love my husband sooo much. makes me miss him and i just got off the phone with him!

Yes! We pick on each other.

I know I've answered this before, but four years later, boy do we still pick on each other! My favorite thing to say to him is "Shut up!" It makes him laugh...:p

We pick on eachother like crazy! But we know when to be serious, too. That is one of the things he likes about me, is that I can take whatever he throws out at me and dish it right back!

LOL.....I have to change that to LMAO!!! Cause, we do it to make "things" light.....in our letters, on our calls....and even in the visiting room just to bring a goofy smile to one another...

Honey and I had a nice, long conversation the other night which ended with him telling me all sorts of lovey sweet nothings.

I answered with something along the lines of "awwww", and quick as a flash he came back with, "Not you, I was talking to Andi".

The dog. Who was in my lap exactly where he knew she'd be.:D :eek:

That is too funny!! He sounds like mine but after he laughs he says babbyy i right here STOP CRYING CRY BABY! Yeah cause he knows i hate when i cry i feel like a sissy... But yeah he laughs and at the same time he does say awwww my baby misses me and loves me..


So cute!!!!

He does, we both have a great sense of humor with one another.

:D Yeah, nothing to it... I would't call it picking... I would call it reminding me we're BOTH out of it sometimes... but we have an amazing sense of humor (Me-Taurus, Him-Aquarius) so with our natures, we always know what to say and the tone to keep. :thumbsup:
