I need to trade in a wife for a newer model

rayrey10, in our household there are 3 of us...me, wifey, and my son. We're shooting for a 3 story house so we'll each have our own floor! :icon_lol:
We figure the cat can roam between them.


Odie,
With that mindset my wife would need a high rise :bump:
 
... Snuff what is your mailing address...I'll see if I can FEDEX her to you :monkies:

Mike, *wink* check yer PMs *wink* ... No need to fedex her ... I mean I can wait, er ..., I don't want the goods damaged in a rush order ... :mixedsmi:
 
So you want to trade in the wife for a newer model.Only one problem with that,Who'd want as you say an"Old Fart" like you.

If you can't convince a younger woman with your looks or character, let your bank account do it for you. :d
 
Hang on Amigo the programmable woman of your dreams is right around the corner thanks to robotics!! When you get one let me know and you can send me your pretty wife and her gorgeous credit account! WOOOHOOOOO!

The problem there is everyone knows Mike's wife has all the money.:icon_lol:

Mike we need the walls painted not your nose.:mixedsmi:

Moe,
After the amount of money my wife has blown (waaaaay more than both my FSX & camera expenses) I might need a trade-in too...:d
 
Re: "Your idea, your work..." My dear b'loved was getting a little excited about how I was dealing for a price reduction on some furniture we'd just bought, then saw cheaper elsewhere - told me what I should have said - and it didn't take me too long to say, "Um, if you don't like the way I'm handling it, have at it, the phone works for you, too!" We don't have a whole lot of "intense fellowship", that's about as close as we get.

We've just finished painting our living room and hall, which has 7 doors and an attic entry to trim around. Thank God she was with me on that one (for of course you need 2 coats to get it right). But we try to coincide painting with new carpet, so the old one becomes our "drop cloth". The hard part for me is changing all doors from those cheapie birch flush things that are all cardboard inside to nice, 6 panel solid pine doors. You gotta add an extra hinge on each doorway, and be bloody exacting about it. Then finishing those beauties... sand, stain, varnish, sand, vacuum, varnish, sand, vacuum, flip'em over and do it again... But the upside of refinishing everything with the kids all grown is that she now has a sewing room, and I have an office/flightsim room all finished in vintage aviation. Oh, yeah.. got the "Altimeter" clock, the flight instrument coasters, a vintage aviation border, planes sitting around, even a Snoopy in his WWI leather helmet & scarf...

So that's that. Maybe your dear b'loved needs to pick up a paintbrush and enjoy some "quality time" with you!

Best,

Tom
 
do what my dad does, give her a paint brush! quality time together n all that :icon_lol: (still married after 27 years so it must work!)
 
When Mrs Willy comes up with a project like that, I just ask "When do we start?"
 
:icon_lol: Wow! I guess I am just lucky. My wife won't let me paint! hehe, she says I make to big of a mess of it. I try to tell her it is a lot easier using the spray gun than those rollers and paint brushes. Besides I hate painting and she likes to paint. Just lucky ol me.
 
You guys think you have it bad....try living in my shoes for a while.

I have a wife...who always comes up with projects for me to do....build a platform bed, build a ceiling drapery thingie, build this, move that, paint this.....her newest thing she wants me to do is to PAINT THE FREAKING KITCHEN COUNTER TOP! Yeah, paint the counter top to make it look like granite. I keep telling her it's a rental property dear, we can't do that kind of stuff without the landlord's permission....and I haven't met a landlord yet that would be willing to have his counter tops painted.

And I have a "second wife"...my wife's sister...who we now live beside.....after her divorce and after the death of the Pappy Jack (wife's adoptive Dad, sis-in-law's birth dad....my 2nd Father-in-law)....I became the go to man for all of my sis-in-law's projects and "Honey Do" list. And she has nearly as many projects for me as my wife does.

Between these two...I have very little time to do that things that I want to do...like spend time with my fishing poles down at the lake, spend time flying my sim planes, spend time hiking with my camera, build model planes, rebuild the riding mower.
