davjohns 1 #2 May 3, 2010 You're right. You can't explain it to her.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #3 May 3, 2010 I wash and wax my Porsche every week. Vacuum the interior too. Shampoo the interior at least twice a season. I mop my kitchen floor maybe once every six months. I vacuum the living room about as often. It's all about priorities. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Her question-"Why don't you care that much about matching when we go out" She may have a point Although skydiving video is ubiquitous, people don't video tape their dates until they get back to the bedroom and shed their street clothes. While out on the town I'd be more likely to color-coordinate like I do skydiving if my wife wore a camera helmet. I'd also be more likely to color co-ordinate going out if I owned only one or two outfits although that would offend every one who has to smell me, wife and co-workers included.

AND I don't see my wife enough as it is. I can no longer justify traveling Tues-Fri and getting up pre-dawn Sat morning and not getting home until late Saturday night or even early Sun morning.
