I just saw the X-mas list....
« on: November 21, 2016, 12:43:35 PM »
the other day I saw the X-mas list on my old ladies phone. it had my name on it on the front screen. I didn't mean to read it, but it was out there...

I saw (another) Seahawks Jersey, blades, and..... a four ball roller!

A storm 4 ball roller....

I don't need it, and if I tell her, she might get upset because I saw the list. If she gets it, then I have to use it and I can't sell it. I prefer a two ball roller and a tote, or a slim 3 ball roller and a tote. 4 ball rollers take up too much space...... but enough pockets for my extra crap I take to the alley - like my "healthy" snacks lol.

I think I'll tell her that I don't need that bag.

Few Christmas' ago, she got me a bowling ball and ended up with two of the same bowling balls.... well, actually one i had was a solid and she got me a pearl..

Maybe you can go online in front of her and nonchalantly show her a bag that you like, and say that it's a really nice bag and you are thinking of getting one.  Then browse and pull up the 4 ball rollers and just mention that those are too bulky and how much the 3 ball totes (or what ever style you like) is much better, without letting the cat out of the bag. 

Don't feel bad, it is what it is. 8)

As the Rock (in character) would say:

Know your role and SHUT your mouth.

Especially considering this is THE WIFE and a present....major boundary crossing egg crushing things can occur if you fail to heed this warning.

Been there, done that.

Today's winner!

 My wife once bought me a bowling ball for a present. I used it a bit and didnt like it much, so I sold it.

 BIG MISTAKE!

 In the ensuing 25 years, she has NOT bought me anything bowling related, and has said she will never buy me anything bowling related ever again, in spite of me dropping hints.

 You got some ten year advice, now take some from a guy married 37 yrs. Just STFU and love the bag. Use it diligently and religiously, and never firget to remind her hiw much you love it.

 Happy wife, happy life!

 And YES, it works the other way too........................😊

The woman is always right; let her believe that and then you'll be happy too.
45+ years of marriage tells me that.

LOL I know you all have my back on this and I'm still trying to figure her out ........ :D


Joke Tuesday:

God gave a man one wish for being such a loyal and faithful man.

So the man asked God, "God, can you build me a bridge from california to hawaii because I hate flying."

God replied: "Son, that's too much man power and the distance and ocean depth are too great. Why not wish for something to glorify my name to the people!"

So the man replied with a request all men want answers to. "God, can you help me understand women?"

God in all his greatness said.... "son, how many lanes do you want? 4 or 5 lanes?"

hahaha

I've owned a storm 4 rollers, the streamline and a thunder. If I get it, we need a bigger garage. There's a reason why I got the Vise 3 ball roller... just like moving between lanes, I have to squeeze between the SUV and my hatchback. My truck got kicked out of the garage.

Side note: here's the thing about the garage. MAJORITY OF THE SH!T THAT'S IN THERE..... are all hers!! and she complains about my tool box, my two bowling bags, and my tub with the spinner.. she complains it takes up too much space.
Also,  I have an outdoor shed for my tools and equipment.. somehow she put boxes of her old clothes and shoes in there too lol.... can't win man....actually yesterday, we just donated 7 large (55 gallon yard bags) bags of clothes, shoes, blankets, and pillows to the shelter and orphans. Last month I saw a mother and her two kids living in their van outside the bowling alley, next to jack in the box......I'm thankful for all the blessing we have at home and to do the simple things many families can't do.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!!
