When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, fishing, always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.
I was as gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalk."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Boy some people learn quicker than others. I am sure Beverly wouldn't kill me for then the pension would stop. She sure would make it so, I wished I were dead though.
Bev had wanted a new kitchen. I thought the outside needed doing first. So I replaced all the doors and windows, put on vinyl siding and aluminum trim as well as a new roof. That kind of put a hurt on my wallet for a while. The following year my consulting job ended the end of November. Instead of welcome home I got "I will have a new kitchen before Christmas or I don't cook" Completely gutted to the studs a completely new kitchen can be done in 23 days. All I got for my blood sweat and tears was "see I knew you could do it" It just took motivation. The old cabinets are in my workshop in the country.

Sounds like my wife. I came home late from work one night in a not so good mood and asked whats for dinner. She said, " I'll make you acouple of hot dogs". Without thinking I replied,"is that all you can make?" "No", she replied and went about fixing the hot dogs. The next night for dinner I had weiners and beans, the next night saurkraut and weiners, the next night weiners wrapped with bacon and little buns, and the next night tuna and weiner something or another. I finally told her she "won". Now when I come home a peanut butter sandwich looks great and I learned to shut my mouth about her cooking. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have someone to fix me something.
