Lead could dissolve a marriage

[CaptainVane]

My wife is currently in Tampa visiting her sister for a week. Sunday night trash goes out. Guess what I will be doing Sunday.
She will never know.

Lesson from this is have more lead than she can lift. God bless her, Mrs. Whitworth doesn't bother my man stuff and knows the value of good junk

I have a great wife. She find things I may have misplaced on the work bench and she always encourages me to buy muzzleloader parts for guns. She no dummy though, you see, she knows for every dollar I spend she can spend two for fabric and she is very prolific at sewing.

Mine removes nothing from my shop without permission and I remove nothing from her kitchen or sewing room without her knowledge.

Ummmmm .... you don't know women? They think they own everything. (That sort of comes along with they know everything).

What's hers is hers and what's mine is hers.

You might be better off spending your Sunday ice skating on a deep pond with thin Ice !

Ya, no kidding. I was engaged once to a very nice woman, to whom I proposed a "mine, yours, ours" solution to our income and our assets, and it wasn't accepted as a viable solution. Needless to say, matrimony didn't ensue.

I guess I’m much better off then most. In our 52 years she has never touched anything on my work or reloading bench. If she does find things on the floor and will say “what the hell is this” rather then tossing it in the garbage. So that is a point in her favor. However, I also do a lot of the cooking because I enjoy it and I keep all the spices in two cabinets in alphabetical order! I know just a little OCD…but do you think she could the put spices back where she found it rather then just putting it back in any empty spot. So she loses a point. So I guess, it’s a wash. Yep, it could be a lot worse.

Friendly note to the Ladies...If a Man has lived alone in the same place for more than thirty years, his things are placed just where they should be regardless of how you think it looks.

I was a hermit with my dog on an island (without any neighbors for 9 months a year) for close to thirty years. I had my boats, house, barn, shop and guns right where and how I liked them. Then I got married, WOW! What a transition... for both of us. I guess I'll keep her (of course, I can't afford not to) but it can be down right vexatious when she decides try to "organize" my stuff.

 

[FLTaft1948]

The phrase to remember: "Don't touch my stuff...."

To which, she says, "Oh Honey, that's all OUR STUFF!"

Yeah, I knew I’d married “Miss Right”, I just didn’t realize her first name was “Always”…

I’ve done this many times before. The trick is do little by little. we have/had a closet piled with useless blankets that we ‘might’ need some day. I cleaned out most of it. 2 years later she still hasn’t opened the door. Knick knacks, remove very gradually. They don’t notice.

Even though my "bunker" is separate from the rest of the basement, and there is no reason whatsoever for anyone but me to go in there, she will say "why don't you organize those benches and clear out some of the clutter". I told her what you refer to as clutter are vital items that all serve a purpose. I even went so far as to offer to let her blindfold me and I'll stand in front of either bench and retrieve any item she calls out. My next step is to install a deadbolt.

Lead and bad women can be replaced. Plenty of both.

Bad women should be replaced.
Lead is a precious metal.

No problems with my wife. For her birthday present she got her wish. A 9mm Hellcat with a red dot. A happy wife is a happy home.
Doc,

Hope that doesn't "backfire" on you

I had a girlfriend, not a real serious one, that wanted me to dump all my military collectibles...that was many years ago!

It's rare but there are couples who have come "more together" by sharing a hobby. Rare but it does happen.
