My Poor Wife....

is wound up like a watch spring.

Saturday we're hosting a BBQ for about 50 family and friends to celebrate our youngest son's 40th. birthday. Everything is ready. The yard is groomed, the food is organized (burgers, sausages, ribs, chili & salads), drinks have been bought, weather forecast is great, I have a blue grass band hired Keslering Ridge, there's plenty of help from the other kids.....

so why does she have to be so damned wound up and how can I get her to relax a bit?

    damn, Your youngest son's 40th b-day. I always pictured you as a middle aged guy. anyway my wife is the same way. when ever family is coming up she gets that way. I found something that seems to work rather well for relaxing her.

    my Guess is she wants to do her best to be a good hostess.

    reassure her with your confidence in her ability(?)

    Well,
    Put on a Barry White album, open a bottle of wine, and let things happen....

    My wife is the same way.

    Do you guys seriously think women like that can relax enough to have sex (and enjoy it)?

    The answer is no. She cannot.

    O.T.O. Not kidding. I have used this with Dawnie when she gets stressed out, even in public places. It works.

    If you don't know what O.T.O. is, email me and I will explain. If you do know what it is, please don't publish it here. Thanks.

    Jim Beam therapy has also been known to work wonders.

    I take my wife to range w/ about 500 rds and challenge her to dueling tree competition, she shoots strong hand, I shoot off hand and we usually end up about 50/50 on wins. after 2 hours of intense competition(in which she wins plenty of rounds) she relaxes and lightens up, stress blown off, wife unwound. She is very competitve and loves that dueling tree.
