I think I must have 'Wo-Man Syndrome'

Guys, stop and pause for one moment.  Your good lady has been doing the same thing day in and day out, or week in week out for the past how many decades - she has a system, a pattern, a way of knowing from experience what works and what doesn't.

Just like you had in your day in day out, week in week out outside occupation, and you would not have appreciated an apprentice jumping in and changing it all about - now would you!!

She is not being difficult, pernickity or controlling - that is experience talking!  30/40/50 years of it!! 

Tis true CathyML Anna has moaned at me from day one and it did take some learning, so yes she speaks with experience.

She'll love this post from you CathyML.....grrrrgh! I have been showing Anna what I have written and what has been said and her response was "If you don't like it mate, go find somebody else". Now what sort of Wo-Man is that?

Thinks........wish I hadn't said anything now! lol

Ron, How do you hang an  T-shirt any other way but upside down...it's about the pegs you use...if they are upside down you use 50 per less pegs doing it that way..as you can hang two shirts iwth one peg.

I will not get into this manner...I live with an man that eats his food on his plate one thing at an time...no mixing the potatoes with the meat.....no taking an bite of the veggies in between either...I ignore him...he can eat anyway he wants. If I put dishes in the dishwasher..we will often re-arrange them to suit his whims...let him..I don' tswet it to much. He usually gets his own way most of the time also. He got mad at me for moving his tool bench out to the little shed behind the house, so my kids could use the garage for an bedroom after they got married...shoved me an good one in the process of moving the bench...knocked me into an bookcase with shelves on top of it. down they came and I barely caught them...they were so heavy they went into my arm, then some fell on my foot. I thought I'd broken my foot, but not quite, just black an blue for weeks though...but I've ended up with an permanent lump on my arm near the inside of the arm where you bend it...doctor says it must of pushed muscle tissue into an lump there. Don't hurt or aything...but it's an reminder to not make him angry at any rate...and him that he's not going to win when I make up my mind about something. Yes, he does things that make me mad...but I probably do him and we just kind of go about our own ways sometimes. I honestly can't think of anyone I know that suits me to an perfect tea most the time in everything. But he don't come home drunk, chase women that I know of..though he likes to flirt that ones for sure...and do drugs or waste money...though can' tthink of any money we have ever had to waste. He's self-preserving to himself first..other times he likes to step in an help me...and sometimes that don't go over so well with me...other times I appreciate the help. For being married some 46 years now...you would be surprised how little I've seen of him most that time. But then again anyone with much responsibilty can't have an leadership role and family most the time, maybe if you work the same job, but otherwise it's zilch...one reason there are so many divorces these days. I think though that for many women they conisder the "house" thier turf...like an man might his den/office in the house. I know of at least one interior decorator that says each person needs their "own" space within an house to make it an home.....That includes the kids and pets also. If Anna gets to buggin you...let her do the work until she's ready to drop...she'll let up on the way you do things....and live with it.  Or else ask her ahead of time if there's an certain way she wants things done and then ask her...Why?...you might learn something from it. Don't worry about the towels...by the time you get them figured out ...they will come out with different sizes to make it an hassel to figure out again folding...I mean....gesh...they just came out with 52 "new" bra sizes...52...my  God!...I don't even want to think about tackling that one. Would it not be easier to just use "silly putty" instead.. to conform and mold those  curves? I know..how would they stay "up" in the air..the bosom curvitures...do you think they use explicit mathematical equations to figure such things out these days..quatum physics?.

It took a while to explain the situation again Shirley, but your sure hit the nail on the head in most things. That said Anna and I have been married longer than you, but like you say, we know each other and really wouldn't want it any other way.

I have to say I wouldn't and haven't ever hit Anna she really is too special and besides men shouldn't do that just because they are stronger or bigger, or in a rage etc. Neither the other way around....I'm fed up with Anna beating me up everytime I hang a shirt the wrong way! Ha, ha wait until she reads that, another beating I guess!

You left me with a thought that really has damaged me....a 52 inch bra! Phoarrrrh! lol
