Title: How NOT to explain.....
Post by: joe skipp on October 14, 2012, 08:19:00 PM
....Deer management to the wife. Just before an evening hunt, Patty asks:

"Your not going to kill any of those does are you?"
"Why?"..was my reply.
"I like seeing them and the young ones..."

So...I couldn't resist...
"Listen, the ones to take...uh...are like you. Old...past their prime and don't bre.."    :eek:

WOW...I learned I can still duck a flying remote and fly down to the shop in less than 3 seconds!
  :scared:    :saywhat:

As I walked across the yard I heard knocking on the big window...there she was practicing her sign language on me....and there wasn't any doubt in my  mind what those hand signals meant.    :thumbsup:

Are you going to toss your hat in before you enter to see if it stays in the house?

Let me say, I had to find a way to "jump start" my wife's spirit alittle. Needed a way to raise a little hell our home.

We have been tied down as my 98 yr old mom is still "clinging to life" and every day is an adventure. Now, my one month old grandson has been in Albany Medical Center past week with health issues. Although I have put some venison in the freezer, my time afield has been 2 hrs in the am and pm.

So anytime I can lighten up the atmosphere here, I take full advantage....and Charlie...yes...she's not the only person who feels I'm number one...   :dunno:

Either your #1, or she thinks you need to shoot 11 to take care of the management part.

Might need to ask her for clarification....

Sometimes you just gotta take the bull by the horns.
Just don't tell my wife I said that.

Post by: **DONOTDELETE** on October 15, 2012, 06:56:00 PM
Hey Joe... Were those hand signals indicating you are still number one?

The bad thing about this is the "does" have very looooong memories. This could come back to haunt you when you least expect it bro....   :biglaugh:

Post by: Doc Nock on October 15, 2012, 07:47:00 PM
What Kirk said... I remember my Dad's generation saying women were "hysterical", but I find throughout my life, they're more "historical" and will drag up an offense from 22 months ago and somehow wedge it into today's argument about something irrelevant.

I echo those wishes for handling your dear aged Mom...I visited my dad daily for over 2 years till he finally gave up and went "home" mid April... it's tiring, but it's the right thing to do.

Good luck with the tyke pulling thru!

If you need excitement, rather than risk matrimonial tranquility, you could try whizzin on high voltage lines, perhaps!

Joe, you ain't wrapped too tight, boy. There are some things that you just don't say to a woman ... whether its true or not.

Well I never! Some women just don't have a sence of humor!lol Best of luck to ya sir!! I know it's hard as I took care of my Mom AND Dad (moved them in with me) in their failing years (5 for Dad and 9 for Mom). I felt like I owed them that much and more for all the things they did for me. Hope your grandson heals quickly!
