Awful visitors coming

What is it about wives anyway? When the %$#* hits the fan, they deny us the one activity that restores calm to our universe!

Well, for starters the woman opened the conversation with "How can you live here? Vermonters are so primitive and uncultured!" Guaranteed to get a rise out of me! And she loves male bashing. Her husband is "fat, lazy, and a slob." I liked the guy a lot. He had a good head on his shoulders, loved the construction of our old house, played with woodworking and had a great outlook on life. Not sure what his wife's problem with him was, but suspect it's more an issue with herself than with him, as she denigrated pretty much every man in her life over the course of the evening.

If a woman hater is a mysogynist, what is a man-hater? A patrogynist? Anyway, I had a good time chatting with her husband, so the evening went pretty well. Got a couple of digs in, too. She saw nothing wrong with going to the store and buying a chicken that had spent its entire life in a cage...but nearly gagged when she learned she was eating one of our free range birds. I told her his name was Burt, and her eyes nearly fell out! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I sometimes wonder if it is some kind of conspiricy. When I was single, the wives of my friends were always trying to fix me up with someone. Almost like they didn't like an unattached male having fun. Once they get you married off, they always seem to be getting together to advise each other on how to keep us in line.

Pete,
Glad to see you keep your cool, or was it the drinks/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

She must be a member of the He women man haters club/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

There's positives to all this. Just think of the relief when all are gone and your space is all your own again.

We have people from Alberta say " How can you live in Nova Scotia" I feel sorry for them and the narrow thought band they live in. Everyplace has good and bad points.

Sounds kinda like the wife of one of my good buddies. Actually, she's just a know-it-all. Sure makes it hard on the guy, because his friends are always trying to figure out how to include him in activities without also getting stuck with the wife-from-Heeeee.

Pete,
That's where the Farmall comes in... The Kubota is for working, the Farmall is for fun(Although that Farmall is very capable of heavy duty work). So, some of us just gotta get down to the shed and check it out. And, we gotta try crank starting it(actually starts on second crank). Then Grampa just has to take it for a ride, although sometimes getting my dad back off of it is hard/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

you might think of leaving hints about, that you just have to "take care of", like putting a wrench back in the shed or something/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Pete,
That's the best laugh I've had in a month. Thanks.

I know what you mean Pete. I was sitting in a resturant a couple of weeks ago (not far from you atually) when another patron, from a state just south of us remarked about the painting on the wall. He said the painting was realistic because everything was crooked, just like everything in Vermont. He then went on to criticize everyone who lives here, all the while touting how much he loves his house here. Talk about making your blood boil!!! I felt like telling him a thing or two, but I bit my tongue. Isn't it great when they get stuck in your driveway.

I was on my way to Bar Harbor with my newlywed wife when we drove through Vt and stopped at a small gunstore, can't remember the name of the town but it was there where I first learned what a masshole was.
