Yes Dear! Whatever you say Dear!

Postby Bigdog » Sun Mar 12, 2006 8:28 pm

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.

Good one bigdog.

My mom after bothering my father to get new carpets and something always came up. One day while my dad was at work she just cut a large whole in the center of the carpet. That night they went carpet shopping.

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. :lol:
