Joel will return next week, and I am hoping you will help me welcome him home with congratulations on his marriage and perhaps a little advice to the newly betrothed. I`ll start with these:
It`s rarely your spouses fault
An argument beats silences everytime
Never take your spouse for granted.
Life is filled with ups and downs--remember your spouse shares your car on the roller coaster.
Congratulations, Joel. You are a lucky man.
Joel:
These are all very nice sentiments... but I thought I would offer you some useful advice. (Center of the universe.... Sheeesh, Steve-o.)
Here are some sure-fired excuses that can`t miss!
Duty: Doing the dishes.
Excuse: Just say, "I lost half my platoon in sudsy water... ever since then, I haven`t been able to look at a sink full of dirty dishes." (It`s best if you turn away and pretend you`re wiping a tear from your eye.) Then, mumble, "They were good men... good men"
Duty: Cutting the grass
Excuse: "You know, I read about Japanese Zen weed gardens in Yoga magazine and I`d like to try one this summer."
Duty: Making Dinner
Excuse: "You know, a dollop of Crisco, all by itself, makes a lovely side dish."
Duty: Any decorating job
Excuse: "I agree... we should update the living room... How about a `legends of NASCAR theme?` "
I hope this helps and just remember, I`m here for you, man.
The Swaynester
You`re not still married, are you?
Though the NASCAR theme may work in the right room....
It’s never the truth. But most of the time, you cannot change the “nothing” into something. Just pamper her at that point.
Though the NASCAR theme may work in the right room....
The Swaynester is a man of many talents. You`ve just stumbled across one of them; avoiding domestic overload.
I offer a "Domestic Chore Jujitsu" class at the local Pennsyltucky Learning Annex.
Our motto is "soft mind, hard head."
Think on these things.
