Each time that I look at my watch and see 4:26 I say HEMI.

 

[Hey-O]

Each time that I look at my watch and see 4:26 I say HEMI.

I still laugh when the clock reads 4:20!! LOL

When the clock says 3:40 I say Sixpack
When the clock says 4:40 I say Sixpack
When the clock says 4:20 I say Six.....

When there are white people, they are in medication commercials or mixed race relationships. Not allowed to just be white anymore.

I show my wife this 20 times a day at least. What happened????? This is not equal in any way. Equal rights should be for all people.

Every Police show on TV does this:
When the detectives arrive on a crime scene, the lead detective says...."What do we got?"
First, you GOT no imagination because that question is asked by everyone. Secondly, you GOT poor English skills.

When you're wife is chewing your *** for something you don't remember doing, it's not a good idea to laugh at the show your watching on TV.

When back East last week, I noticed that hardly anyone had fences around their houses. That is NOT the case out here.

We own guns. Lol

Fences around here are to keep the cows in. Other than that, we're pretty good at respecting one
anothers' homesteads.

"Good fences make good neighbors"
But then if you have good neighbors, you don't need fences.
I personally like not having any immediate neighbors.

The food in post #97 was the inspiration for this tidbit of wisdom:
Don’t fully commit to a fart until you’re certain that’s all that it is.

With our dogs and how they chase squirrels, I'll need fencing wherever I live.

Day by day, we go about our lives and unless we are idiots, we pick up little bits of knowledge either from advice from another or by screwing something up and learning from it. Those that spend their lives on the couch surely don't pick up as much as the dudes that are out there mixing it up with others.
Youth is wasted on the young....as I get older, I can see the wisdom in that phrase. If a man had a teenager body and a seasoned mind, he would be unstoppable, right?

Like you people, I'm out there doing things every day. Sometimes I stumble across something new. It could be a different route home that is faster or more scenic, a new store that opened up, it could be anything.

Saturday, I learned something that I sort of already knew.
Women don't like to be reminded about their weight.

Really??

Yeah...the wife has mentioned the desire to lose weight over the past few years. Saturday, she was ready to order some tacos at the drive through. She wanted more than her usual order.
I said...."I thought you were wanting to lose weight."
She was not pleased.

Hey...I know that I sometimes lack proper TACT when talking with people. I sometimes go off of impulse and forget to phrase my words in a more palatable form.

I don't set out to be rude or mean, the words just sometimes spew out.

And with all due respect to you Greg, since you been married once you should know by now as a grown man with experience with women that there are topics that you never are so up front with a woman, like the weight issues, my experience told me and this is one of the few advice that I took from my old man is that as I get older I always think first what I say an do, people rarely do.

Of all the "rescue" dogs we've had out here, none of them have run off or tended to lose their minds
chasing anything for more than what they understand to be "their yard".
Dogs are quite smart and territorial, so they pick up on where they're supposed to be usually - unless
they're one of those "excitable" breeds that probably should be penned in.
You're right - we're their stewards, so if you have some that go bezerk, it's probably best to pen them up.

"Consideration of others"

PPPfffffftttt!!!
You guys never have heard the same thing for years and finally had enough?
When I hear someone speak of how they "need to do something..." then repeatedly do the opposite, it gets annoying after awhile.
To ignore the situation is to passively encourage that behavior. My delivery was short on tact but I wasn't wrong.
I love this woman. She loves me. We don't always sugar coat our opinions or comments. That is one of the great things about our marriage. We are solid enough to take some rough patches and stay together.
Sometimes we need a kick start. I didn't intentionally set out to hurt or insult her. She doesn't have a physically demanding job to help her burn calories. Genetics isn't her friend on the matter either.
We both have gone through weight loss regimens before with success.

"...but your mind in gear BEFORE you put your mouth in gear..." "...smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies, and I got proof .....your enemies will do you no harm because you know where they're coming from...."

Yep, that's one thing that lets us know when we're in a relationship for the long haul - not being so cautious of
what we say. With time, we can actually know what the other is going to say - and finish the others' thoughts.
That said...
Our ability to be comfortable enough to "get away with one" doesn't mean we should, however - and that's where the respect/consideration comes into it.

There's the little horns on top of the noggin that come out if you're the type (and Greg obviously is, as am I)
where he naturally looks for opportunity for a bit of mischief, if only subconsciously - and often it's second
nature to go for it before having time to consider the consequences.
Those "oh ****...." moments immediately after temper the fun a bit - and you'd be better HAVE a moment of
"oh ****", or you don't respect who you just threw your snipe at.

Well, you're either with someone who knows you're that way, that you don't mean any actual malice or harm
and are just playing - and that you're naturally going to push boundaries sometimes - or you're not.
A couple toes over that line and there's gonna be trouble, but that's ok too - you can't know exactly where
the line is without occasionally testing it, eh?
Apologize, promise to make it up to them, whatever...but keeping in mind you love this person and would
fight the world on their behalf has gotta be there at the core.
Those of us who have that are truly blessed - and I pray that those who don't find it soon.
Humans are not isolated creatures by nature, no matter what anyone says.

Working in Manhattan, the city that ever sleeps. I have noticed that Women will check their reflection all the time while they walk by shop windows. So, Vain or just paranoid? Women check their reflection?

I said...."I thought you were wanting to lose weight."
She was not pleased............ That's like, do these pants make my *** look big. You do know the right answer, right.
Being a furniture maker and working with something that can be seen from every angle , my wife says, I'm the only one that can find fault in anything. Life and people aren't perfect and the older I get, the more I like all the little strange things we all do and say. It's a map of where we've been, life's experiences and how we came out the other side. Life's to short to take ourselves to seriously, there is no winner in the end, we all lose.

Lmao. My old partner asked a woman once, “how far along are you?” She wasn’t pregnant,, whomp, whomp. That was an immediate life lesson

Men do that as well.
I used to do it when I was single. I wanted to be looking my best in case a single woman could be coming along.
