CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[dwsizme]

All I have to say is you better keep those 6 women very happy.....or you're going to starve. (and be smelly )

Wanted to add something to my comment of yesterday.....after reading all the conversation after it.
I wasn't meaning to infer chauvinism.....or male / female roles....just survival. My husband just had back surgery after having bad pain all summer. He could barely walk. I started doing everything. Doesn't matter I haven't cooked in 20 years (I microwave) or didn't have a clue how to fix cars or even start the lawn mower....someone had to do it. My daughter was a big help for a bit, but then she left. After the surgery, I did the cooking (he is the cook in the family), shopping, cleaning, had both cars to deal with and the lawn, etc.
Just saying - I appreciate all the stuff my husband does - my prayer was "God I want my husband back" - and he's healing nicely.....but we all have to be able to step up and do (learn if we have to) what we gotta do. I had to take care of both of us.
And I cooked the dinners and we're all still here thank you very much! The lawn got cut (he had to tell me how to start the mower, tho) and the cars are running (with only one mishap of dropping an important screw down into the engine....don't ask...long story, but we found another screw).
The comment was meant to tease and be funny.....not to put anyone down.

LOL,,,,,I still maintain that it takes someone mighty smart to look as dumb as my husband can look when it comes to housework. Our family motto: Don't do something well if you DON'T want to do it again!

SHHhhh, she didn't catch on to my plan yet... I even got her to wash my bikes because I tell her she does a much better job than I do and in the summer she does it in a Bikini, tell me I can't pickem... Well on the other hand it did take me 5 tries to find one like her.

 

[1st Officer]

Good morning again Volties! Coffee is ready, sorry no hard rolls today, we ate 'em all yesterday.

Man that just ain't right, you're killing me...

My wife and I have unspoken deal. She pretends not to know anything about our trucks, our motorcycles, or any repairs on the house. I pretend not to be able to operate the washer, stove, dishwasher, and vacuum cleaner. It lets us both feel like the smart one, and everything gets done.

I think Hubby and I have the same agreement. I actually used to do my own tune-ups, water pumps and I can take out a radiator. However, car repair was a survival thing and I am not a natural at it. I am great at growing veggies, landscaping and a pretty good cook. Hubby helps with the cooking sometimes. He loves to grill on the BBQ. Obviously, since I owned and operated a cleaning business, I am a pro at cleaning the house.

We have our jobs we are each good at and we try to help each other out. However, I am the SMART ONE!

Now, with all this talk about "traditional" roles, I'm sitting here feeling really smug and righteous. I do it all, cooking, cleaning, laundry, general housework, as well as the house, yard, vehicle maitenance. The only thing I don't do is iron and that's becuse I don't do it well in spite of trying. I'm really surprised I have time to fit it all into my busy, busy schedule ROFLMAO

I'd be happy to give you some advice but with my track record you'd be a fool to take it. What the hell, way I see it you got two choices, renegotiate your deal or suck it up and take it like a man. Then you could always hire a lawyer, I have lot's of experience with that.

Good Afternoon Volties... Lost one of my X2's yesterday (only about 5 or 6 months old). The button stopped working right in the middle of a vape... It was almost fully charged - it just stopped. I dropped it off in one of the local lithium battery disposal bins today. Luckily I have lots of 78's and still one more X2 to operate with...

 

[Raynes]

Dammit I give up, my like button is not working and it keeps making my connection time out. Maybe that's one of the things they are fixing in the morning. Awsum, better make the coffee early, we will be disconnected for two hours or more tomorrow and I need my coffee. Since I'm frustrated with this whole ECF lagging forum I'm going to go jump the wife and then go to sleep.... Nighty Nite Ya'll... I gotta go find my thong and my Cowboy hat...

Geez the visual,not enough Xanax in the world. I need Micheal Jackson's MD. Talk about PSTD.I'll never be the same again. I think my brain has been violated. (Bookmarks this for later reference) A motorcycle rider wearing a COWBOY hat??? Oh UHUH that's just wrong.
Gets a viking helmet complete with horns ---here wear this it suits you better.

 

[Raynes]

My heart goes out to you Semi. My silver gave out on me a few wks back,and I had it since Apr. but I vape constantly when awake. So its been a good one,I can't complain. My suggestion is get an orange one,its multi-purpose you can use it as a flare,flashlight,take a walk in the woods and not worry about getting shot by hunters,and the best of all reason NO ONE will ever accuse you smoking in a store its impossible to miss

So does my husband. Hands Mrs Officer the handbook (How to Re-train Your Hubby). Only thing I can figure out Awsum,Officer has terrorized her with the cowboy hat.

I'm TELLING.

 

[Raynes]

Dwi trust me,no one here takes offense at anything we all kid around. Since I work nights and my husband works days I do the farm work,I harvest hay do whatever,he cooks and helps with the house. Its called teamwork. On his days off he helps me so I can get extra sleep which I was trying to do until Officer just HAD to give us that visual.
I was going to ask Holly what that buttery nipple vape tasted like that she raves about but I'm scared to with Officer around no telling what he will come up with.

It was my silver one also - my favorite - also got used the most... All mine are either black or silver (I do have one blue 78, but it will last me the longest because it get used the least).

Ironing can be made a lot easier by adding a little dish liquid to the clothes first.

 

[WorksForMe]

Real men only use black or silver batteries. (pay no attention to my blue one).

But do their shoes match? Priorites.

Good afternoon, Volties.

They also say adding aluminum foil under the ironing board cover allows the heat to emanate to both sides of the clothing at the same time...

Good afternoon, Volties.

Good Afternoon back at you Lilac...
