Title: Happiness is Post by piglt on 04/06/11 at 08:08:24 Happiness is.....When you ex calls to tell you he will be over one day this week to get the riding mower started and cut the grass for you... and you just smile and say "no thank you" the mower is out of the shed, the battery has been charged up, the flat has been fixed and the grass has been cut!!! Any thing boys can do girls have already gotten done 8-) I'm not man bashing, just stating facts!! |

Title: Re: Happiness is Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 04/06/11 at 13:45:06 We live in the country and mow about 4 acres around our house. I haven't mowed in at lesat 3 years - my wife does it. My daughter's business is about 2 miles from our house - she had an entry door that wsa out of square and had to close and lock. One evening about 6 months ago I noticed my wife loading her tool kit into her car, and when I asked her where she was going, she said she was heading over there to square up the jamb of that door so it would close properly. Door works perfectly now. We have at least 3 drawers in our kitchen that my wife has rebuilt so they open and close smoothly. Two years ago for a Christmas stocking stuffer she asked for an old fashioned hand drill, for little jobs where it's hard to get the electric drill to work in. All true - I couldn't have it better. And she does these things after working at least 60 hours a week at her own business. |

I'm amazed you have the balls to tell us that,you do have balls don't you Jerry? When you go out for dinner does your wife open the limo /car door for you ? and pick up the check? |

Title: Re: Happiness is Post by kimchris1 on 04/06/11 at 20:38:27 And why shouldn't a woman know how to fix things? Why should she have to wait for a man to do it for her? The same for men. Why should a man not do dishes, laundry, grocery shopping? Each sex should know how to do things for themselves and not feel that a particular job is only for a man or woman. Jerry, give your wife a nice kiss, I do hope you got her that drill.. :) kim |

I have washed more dishes than you have ever eaten off. My last wife couldn't cook,never made the bed ,never did the yard, didn't know what end of a screwdriver was the business end, the vacuum cleaner was just a neusence ,she had to go outside when I used it,the noise . So please don't give me your sh1t, BTW I have been married 6 times not one wife could cook ,except one, the only thing she could cook was spaggetti,it just so happens I hate spaggetti. And they all quit work once we got married. |

Title: Re: Happiness is Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 04/07/11 at 06:03:26 Kim - As empty nesters now, we don't eat many meals at home, since we both have businesses. But when we do, I cook more often than not, and I always clean up the kirchen. And yes, I give her a big hig and kiss every opportunity. |

Title: Re: Happiness is Post by prsavage on 04/08/11 at 00:23:15 Lawn mowing stories - I have a few. This ones the worst. It is a bit long but well worth the read, if for no other reason than to serve as a warning. I had let the grass get a bit long and my wife (now exwife) had been asking (nagging) me to get it cut. Well I took too long I guess cuz I came home from work and the lawn had a strip mowed from the shed straight into a stump. The mower was still sitting there but now it was incapable of doing any mowing. This was a very good machine. a walk behind with 4 forward speeds and a reverse. Twin blade 33" cut mulching deck with infinite adjust height crank handle. Caster front wheels and turf tire rears. 8.5 hp engine with a key start. She had run it full speed into the stump. The damage was bad. The deck had bent back slightly so one of the blades cut right into it and stopped. The other blade kept spinning and beat the hell out of the first blade. The drive gear split, the toothed belt ripped, both blades' bearing mounts broke. Luckily the engine and transmission were both fine. I took off the broken parts and found a day to go (by ferry) to the nearest service rep. I started to list off all the parts I needed and he actually stopped writing, his jaw dropped and then he asked "what the hell did you do?!?" I explained that my wife tried to mow. He said "that was a big mistake now wasn't it." I bought all the parts except the deck. Turns out that alone was $800. I decided I could beat it back into shape. I got the mower running again almost as good as new. About three months later I had let the grass get a bit long and my wife(now exwife) had been asking (nagging) me to get it cut. Well I took too long I guess cuz I came home from work and the lawn had a strip mowed from the shed straight into a stump. The mower was still sitting there but now it was incapable of doing any mowing. Jeez this sounds really familliar. Yup, same damage. Back to the same store. Man I just love spending my day doing a round trip on the ferry. I started to list the needed parts to the same parts guy and he literally drops his pencil looks up in disbelief and says "you did it again?!?" This time I bought a set of spare parts as well. I didn't want her to touch the mower ever again after that. But she did. It is a story for another time but it is almost as bad as this one. Now I'm not sayin' women can't be handy. My wife now is very handy and has been known to mow the lawn once in a while for me and I really appreciate it. I strongly suspect that these previous instances had little to do with mowing and more to do with sending me a message. |
