For guys and clever women.... help
BookLover♥:
I have a co-worker who is gluten intolerant, so I've gotten a glimpse of how difficult that can be. He constantly has to explain that he isn't being picky because of eating preferences, that it's a medical issue.
You get a big gold star for carrying the list!

re: the towel thing. i don't know what kind of women you've been dating, Yeratel, but they're a lot cooler than me. i really just want the towel. if i want something else, THAT'S what i'll be broadcasting across the house.
here's my list:
when the trash gets full, i take it out from under the sink and tie it off to remind me to take it out when i'm finished with what i'm doing in the kitchen. it doesn't work though, and the trash just hangs out in the kitchen for a while. it drives my husband insane. but it does mean that he takes out the trash instead of me :).
for the restaurant picking thing: this is something that's really annoying, but i can't seem to catch myself BEFORE i do.
him: Where would you like to eat?
me: I don't care!
him: no really, pick a place.
me: anywhere you want.
him: how about Round Table?
me: not there.
him: ...Ming Yen?
me: not Chinese food
and so on and so forth, until it comes out that really, i wanted a salad, and since i'm the only one who knows which restaurants serve salads, i end up picking. it is incredibly irritating - i don't know what's wrong with me.
i also take his shoes from the middle of the bedroom floor and put them in the closet. he can never find them when i do that.
he hates my face wash - it's an organic cleanser that smells a little like seaweed. he claims it smells like blood and kicks up a big fuss when i use it in the shower.
and lastly, between our dining room table and the outside wall is a bookshelf. in front of the dining room table is the couch, blocking the view of the bottom of the bookcase from the rest of the room. the bottom shelf of the bookcase has all the trade paperback comics in it. naturally, the floor in front of it is where i choose to sit. no matter how many times i sit there, Scott can never find me. he always thinks i have mysteriously vanished, and begins to walk around the house, calling my name.
:) i am a very annoying woman.

She is an absolute gem, for which I give thanks on a daily basis. I am a lucky, lucky man. :)

I can find absolutely nothing there that would lead me to disagree with you. ;D

men everywhere breathed a collective sigh of relief when we were hitched. ;)
ToddM326:
I absolutely HATE the "guess where my wife is in the mood to eat dinner tonight" game. It is tedious & frustrating, and just the first step in the dining process (the second being "what on the menu do I want to eat?").
Does anyone else find it this difficult?
EDIT: I want back and read through this thread, and it seems like I am not alone in my frustration.
My wife is lucky that I don't hop in the shower with her every time. We like to call it a "Water Conservation Shower", even though we end up spending longer than normal in there. :-)
