I think I married her sister!!!!!

She must have a lot of sisters, because I married one of them too. Big Grin

I love my wife dearly, but try sitting on the porch to enjoy the evening and she will last 30 seconds (maybe) before she has to start talking.

This has all been in fun and Lord knows I have contributed to it but the more of these comments I read, the more I consider, that there must be someone among us , who has lost a wife and would give all he has to be able to hear that voice one more time, if only for a minute . Sorry, fellas, must be the emotion of Fathers'Day getting to me . I know I would give all I have for one more minute of conversation with my father.

I sat on the patio this evening with my wife and daughter and enjoyed every moment!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The audiologist programmed my hearing aids so that if I reach behind my ear and press and hold one of the control buttons, the hearing aids are muted.

Read some time ago an article putting forth that, on average a man says 7000 words a day... a woman 14,000.
Which helps explain why when a man comes home from work he may be rather quiet. Though the wife still has 7000 words left to ~spend.


Do not necessarily attribute someone's nasty or inappropriate actions as intended when it may be explained by ignorance or stupidity.

That's because you're not counting the 3,250 "yes" and 3,250 "dear's."

Women have a fixed number of words per day that they must say, or they die. I've told my wife that I highly encourage her to have girlfriends to talk to throughout the day to exhaust the word count before I get home.

When she starts talking endlessly, I just remind myself that she's just running through the word count and I just zone out and throw in a "sure" or an "okay" or a "wow, that's too bad" once in a while and it helps the time pass.

It helps if I think about something that requires a lot of thought, like how could I make an M14 rear lugged bedding insert and epoxy it into a McMillan with the correct draw pressure, or how how many mil dot marks a brisket of a deer would be used at 100 to 600 yards. It gives the illusion that I'm really concentrating on the issues she's having with some other woman at work, church, or in the family.

Just pause your thought once in a while to take note of the woman, co-worker or relative that she has issue with. It gives you a chance to at give the illusion that you're following her conversation if she should test you.
