Blacksmith Jim Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 This is an easy problem if you don't have any time or money. Then you don't have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm with Jimmy on that one. It takes ten "attaboys" to wipe out one "aw xxxx". But only one "aw xxxx" will wipe out ten "attaboys"!! Therefore, be sure not to let her catch you in an "aw xxxx" moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnptc Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I have to say I must be the most fortunate of men. When my fiance (soon to be wife) asked me about my hobbies I think my response surprised her. Her response really surprised me! She said "why don't you set up your forge at my house, and when you are working I will bring you a cold beer." To top that off, we are getting married this weekend and you know what she ordered as her wedding gift to me? stop whatever you are doing !!! go give your lady a big hug and a kiss and tell you love her............ for the rest you might try the safety angle.....nobody wants their bread winner injured .

Mark Emig Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 When I got married, I laid down the law as to finances and such(as the man and head of household we must). I told my wife to be "I'll handle the big stuff, you handle the little stuff". It's worked out great. So far after 7 years no big stuff yet.

Donnie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to all of you, who have to get the wife's blessings for an expenditure. At MY house, I say what will happen and that's final. No questions. No back talk. I Am, the king of my castle....Just kidding. In 16 yrs. we've never had an disagreement over money. Life is to short.
