There I was,readin` about Evil`s efforts to quit smokin...I heard this sound..a sound that I began nodding to..then I began sayin` uh-huh,yea-yah,as I continued to read.Finally,after about 3 to 5 minutes of this,I looked over to see what it was..it was the lovely MRS.Beekeeper looking strait at me,smiling and talkin about the 'NIGHTLINE'program she`s whatching.I smiled back,and laughed a little as I realized how long this had been going on.I thought it would show how much I enjoyed her conversation..but then she asked me "Why are you laughing about that?"....It appears she was talking about the Congo situation .218

    Matt45, don't worry about, "Look at the color of that house." Wives figure when they've got the husband in the car one-on-one, they have a captive audience. So you're driving in the rain (or snow) with 50 MPH crosswinds and 70 MPH traffic practically bumper to bumper, and now it's time to discuss and settle the four most important problems with you or the marriage. Gotta love 'em!

    Once when I was young and dumber I told my wife that if she would just number her stories she could just tell me the number and it would save time. Then I would just laugh or cry or give the appropiate response. (Give myself a hand.)Possum Holler Rules!!

    Wundud- Thanks for that bit of info-I was plottin' somethin' along them lines. Whew!! Close call.And yep, Gordian, she used to do that...now I just remind her that since I am the guy behind the wheel of the car, I get to decide if we actually make it home or not. This only works and is effective if you are within three or four turns of a cliff and you wife is paying attention when you stop the car. (Mine was having a good day, when I stopped she asked if I was going to take a run at it or just look at it...isn't she great kids??)

    Have you ever notice that sometimes, when you are a couple hundred miles from home, it is then that they to choose to remind and interrogate you about an instance that occurred several years that you had absolutely no recolection of? They on the other hand can remember every detail and choose that moment to straighten it out.

    Bee......as we males know, this is a well known, unknown area...tread lighty my friend...as a woman thinks it translates into.."it was different this time than it was this time last time"...their mind works in mysterious ways, "honey, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME, just a little different" I hear this phrase...too often. And IF, (emphasis on if)we (men) do get distracted from our most direct route to a pre-designated location (wherever it is we may be driving to, er, sometimes a little lost)) is it not the female we are accompanied by that ALWAYS wants to stop so that WE (us men)can ask directions? I put these FEW vexing "women ways" to you gentlemen. My soon to be wifey, picked up her boquet (SPELL CHECK! you know, the flowers she will carry in our wedding) she was given a bit of advice from the florist lady..." I ALWAYS GIVE MY SOON TO BE BRIDES SOME FREE ADVICE..IF YOU ARE WRONG, ADMIT IT, IF YOU ARE RIGHT, SHUT UP!" Now I can see how this woman has had a wonderful relationship for many, many years....

    How about that most dreaded of conversations with your partner in life - the one where she wants to talk about "US" or, even worse, "OUR RELATIONSHIP"? I have found that the attempt is usually preceeded by a quiz in one of those "For You, Modern Woman" type mags. "Take This Ten Question Quiz to See if Your Relationship is Really Long Term"; "Is He Afraid to Commit or Just Lying to You? - A Two-Part Questionnaire That Will Really Open Your Eyes!" To you newlyweds or soon-to-be's, I offer this caution: If she looks up from her reading and starts the conversation with, "OK, just answer these questions.", RUN, not walk, RUN for cover. No way are you going to be able to answer all those questions correctly. Then, having your answers, she'll do the scoring and you'll discover that your marriage can't possibly work the way it is and the sooner you get counseling the better."I never knew that about you." "You never told me you felt that way." "So, according to this, you're sorry we got married, right?" NFW can you talk yourself through. You're cooked for at least 48 hours.
