    Yup, but what about the next lets say 25 years or so?
    So far its worked out. When we are going out, its usually after I have put in a full day. I will NOT dink around playing the "I dunno" game, we are heading for food. If there is input, we can go where she wants to, but we are still heading for food, because you are exactly right, it is not worth making a point over.
    It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

    25 years? You'll hear about it till one of you dies first. Probably the man. Because he wants to. "I long for the silence that death will bring."

    Reminds me of the old joke "why men don't live as long as women? Because they don't want to."

    Its one of natures laws that women always have to have the last word in an argument. Anything you say after she has had the last word , will be the start of a new argument.

    I wish my computer had the memory capacity of my ex wife. She could remember every single word I ever said to her during an argument from the time I first started dating her.....in the exact order, including the tone I used and the look on my face when I said it. Her search engine worked in nano seconds and made modern day computers look archaic.

    You have to remember that when your wife asks advice, she has already made up her mind and is just using you to reaffirm that her choice is the right one............cos your choice is always wrong.

    Never ever, during the course of an argument either stop her in mid sentence.............. or, at the end of a sentence, ask her if she has finished. She will have finished when she has the last word. ( See the first sentence above)

    When receiving the 'silent' treatment, DONT EVER ASK HER WHAT IS WRONG!!!! You will regret it.
    Deal with the 'silent' treatment by going to the range, going hunting or fishing or doing some other manly activity. It wont help, but at least you get to do something you enjoy before the wrath descends when you get home.

    On your way home, buy her flowers.............Orchids to be specific. ..........Ask the florist for Cymbidium Orchids from New Zealand.. A big bunch of stems is better than one stem.

    It wont stop the argument or calm her down, but it will help my gun fund.
    Still enjoying the trip of a lifetime and making the best of what I have.....

    Hello boys! Y'all do realize that the WOMEN who come to the S.E.Shoot have access to this forum and come to the shoot armed? Y'all also realize they know how to shoot with amazing accuracy? Just saying......:nono:

    Apologies may commence here.....immediately if not sooner! (BTW the male shooters name tags this year will include a lovely red design of varying sized circles and a lovely large red patch in the middle! ) :angry:
  • breamfisherbreamfisher Posts: 14,103 Senior Member
    ...and the women won't shoot you for what you've done until 8 years from now, telling you " you should know why I'm doing this."

    As my dear, departed Dad used to say, "Women don't get hysterical. They get historical."
    Meh.

    The problem with that is that occasionally you guess right...which has her second-guessing her first choice and wasting more time trying to decide. Sayin.

    When I was a newly wed 36 years ago I thought men were the head of the house. My wife set me straight.

    One day I held up a pair of my pants and said "Here honey put these on." She replied "Those are too big for me." Smug and thinking I had set the correct perimeters for our relationship I arrogantly said "That's right, remember that!" Then she held up a pair of her panties and said "Here, put these on." Confused I said, "I'll never get into those!" She said "That's right! And if you keep that attitude you never will."

    I learned my lesson and others through the years.

    Lesson #1 The correct answer is "Yes dear".
    Lesson #2 If the question had the word "fat" in it the answer is "No Dear"

    Divorces are very expensive because they're worth it.
    The newest Barbie doll on the market is Divorce Barbie. She comes with all of Ken's stuff.
    The penalty for polygamy is two Mother-in-Laws.
    Even after a divorce she's still your mother-in-law.
    Your Father-in-Law is no smarter than you, he's married too.
    Read the Bible and believe. Any man in the Bible that had more then one wife had ten times the trouble than the man that had one.
    I like Elmer Keith; I married his daughter :wink:

    Solomon was supposedly the wisest man in the Bible. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

    Somehow that doesn't seem wise.
    Meh.

    For those of you who plan to attend the SE shoot, you better pay attention to what Miss Mary said. I hear she's a pretty good shot!
