The wife...

[Alan L.]

Sorry Rob-D but its almost like there is a woman here in a man's thread.... I bet you go to bridal showers with your wife!!!

There are differences between men and women (Thank God). Makes for good stand up comedy or a good tractor board thread.

My wife tells me, "You're in trouble." I smile and say, "Good. If the day comes that I'm not in trouble, it means you've given up on me!"

Can't we just go back to gear vs hydro or R4 vs ags

Yep, we can Buck. But, ya gotta check with your wife first .

 

[Obed]

If one day my wife tells me she's leaving, my next question will be, "Where are we going?"

From day one, I married her for life. In my opinion you'll be miserable if you don't approach marriage with a "forever" attitude.

Plus, she let me buy a tractor; how great is that? I personally think that TBNers have higher quality wives than the general population.

 

[MF RED in MT]

After my wife and I have an argument, she always comes crawling back to me on her hands and knees, .

She then proceeds to tell me, "get your ***** out from underneath the bed and come here and fight like a man" :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:.

That's my story and I'am sticking toooooooooooooooo it :thumbsup:. KC

I never understood why my wife asks that question. She never likes the answer

JTPYO = Just To Piss You Off.

Like when they call (or anyone for that matter) and asks "What are you doing?"

Not sure the answer "I'm talking on the phone" is the answer they want to hear, but it is usually the answer they get.

Sometimes I call up a buddy and I ask how he's doing, his reply is, "None of your frakking business." I reply back, "Well, piss off." Then we talk about whatever it is we need to talk about.

I use that one... which I think is better than the real answer "Getting *($$ed 'cause every time I am trying to do something or my hands are dirty someone is ringing my dang phone!"

That's why the answering machine is turned on when I'm home alone working. If it's important, leave a message, and I'll call back at my earliest convenience. If it's not important, they won't leave a message, which means I didn't want to talk to them in the first place.

I don't buy the mars/venus garbage.

It makes a statement about you and it's not a good one.

As I understand it, it's a scientific fact that men's and women's brains are wired differently; add in hormones, and the Mars/Venus analogy is correct.

In my case, I never claimed to be Gandhi.

Rob, you really need to understand this and get your nuts out of her purse!!

ROFLMAO...Rob said something about his wife **** not being in his wallet...good reply.

A Doctor once told me along time ago there are two things you have to understand about a woman:

1) They don't think like a man.

2) When you marry one, it's the most expensive thing you will ever do.

How very true!

A anti marrage guy said if they want to stop the oil flow from the pipe in the Gulf, all they would have to do would be to put a wedding band around it. I am married 45 happy years and I don' think that is funny LOL. Ken Sweet

I saw that in my email one day and it was the funniest thing I read that day.

I think a lot of guys play macho with the guys but when a women comes along their mice.

That's because women have the p***y, which means they have the power; whether they realize it or not. I always say the root of all evil is p***y, not money. Money is just a tool to get p***y.

Agreed. I also didn't know Dr. Phil had a tractor.

ROFLMAO!

In another thread about tools, I made the comment about lending out my wife in exchange for borrowing tools. That got people chuckling without anyone getting their panties in a wad.

Thanks for the reply Rob. I appreciate the time you took to respond. I do want to reply to this part in the interest of the intellectual exchange of ideas. You have certainly purport to know much about my wife, me, our relationship, and understanding of each other. However you 've got quit wrong.

1. My wife lights up when she sees me on the tractor havin' a good time and being productive. And I like it when she does.

2. She is excited about what I build even if she does not understand it. She 's excited because I knew how to do it.

3. She doesn 't knit, but she could make things grow in the Sahara Desert. My excitement and appreciation is shown at the dinner table and yes I sometimes help with the cookin'.
4. We canoe together, camp together, watch movies together and talk about them in between, party together and the list could go on but it would take too much band width.
5. I don 't know about the lifetime part yet because we are not dead. But I do know we have been married 36 years + with no X 's.

There are things my wife does that I hate and she knows it. Works the same in reverse. No singular couple 's way of doing things is wrong as long as it is successful and works. A million successful marriages. A million different ways to get there.

Agreed!

My wife is so immature that she's a pita. When I take a bath she always sneaks in and trys to sink my boats.

Now THAT was pretty darn funny...!

I think Rob just needs to recognize the fact the many guys here like to kid around about the wife and doesn't mean they are degrading them in any way. I'm all for a little humor. I'm always giving my wife plenty of humor, unfortunately she doesn't appreciate most of it, and she lets me know it!

But, I've got her trained pretty well....
she doesn't give me any grief about the 4 tractors, excavator, dozer, etc. etc. I just mentioned to her how handy a 1 ton dump truck would be, with all my "projects" going on....she didn't bat an eyelash.
The flip side is she always has the checkbook/CC in her purse, and it's never a good idea to question any of her purchases when I see the bills.....!
