Today is wednesday?

No, that's the title from the feed. I've actually automated the process so that all I do is click a button in my RSS feed reader and it gets posted here.

I was gonna say get a divorce, but I am not though...not gonna' say it. No sir-ree!

[EricStratton]

I liked this article....I'm gonna try some of these instead of my usual, "SHUT THE F--- UP!" technique.....which doesn't seem to have any long term effectiveness...

[ynotme297]

try this, the more you are nagged, the more you resist. it has worked for me for over 30 years. well that and the fact that she thinks i'm really hard of hearing. by damn, if you don't wanna do, then don't. i've taken enough crap off people in my life that i'm just not gonna do something just cause someone is too hard headed or lazy to do it them self. so there!!!!!

what happened to the good ol' kick her to the curb?

[CircusRide]

I just tell my old lady that everytime she nags,aka bi_ _hes, she has to have sex with me.
That pretty much put an end to the nagging.

I'm tired of you nagging me about reading posts with good tips in them.

[aaron]

I'm tired of you nagging me about reading posts with good tips in them.

I'd suggest tip #8

8. Throw money at the problem.

[wilebill]

I'd suggest tip #8There you go again with your "suggestions".

[aaron]

There you go again with your "suggestions".

One suggestion? How can we go on if you won't even meet me halfway?

(emphasis mine)

I was gonna say get a divorce, but I am not though...not gonna' say it. No sir-ree!

I've used the divorce technique multiple times...doesn't put an end to the nagging, it's just makes it acceptable to hang up on them.

This one caused divorce #4, though in my defense, she was drunk at the time.

what happened to the good ol' kick her to the curb?

This happened to last (and only!) live in girlfriend, admittedly I was the one kicked to the curb, but it did effectively stop her nagging.

[Fish-Bait]

When does nagging become nagging?????????????

When the verb is applied towards the other side.

Like this "Honey, I need you to go to the..........

She would rather do the chores than you?:laugh:

I catch myself thinking of one of Jeff Foxworthy's routines. We were on the second row, no more than ten feet from the stage. He's talking about how his wife will say something about the fan needs to be turned down, or the trash needs to go out, or the heat needs to be turned up. Whatever the chore, it's up to him to do it because the Mrs. not-so-subliminally suggested it. lol Hubby was laughing but the guy directly behind him was hee-hawing real loud. JF thought it was hubby doing it, turned and looked directly at him and said, "You think that's funny, don'cha?" We all thought that was real funny then . :-D

[Southern_Belle]

And naggees – remember, one obvious way to stop being nagged is to DO YOUR SHARE! If you never follow through, if you never do a chore without being repeatedly asked to do it, if you never pitch in, you know why you’re being nagged.

this was my favorite part!

aaron says that i "nag" all the time. but i only do it b/c i have to remind, or b/c i don't get a response. however, i will offer praise. this weekend he was so helpful around the house! folded laundry, went to wal-mart while i was at work, took the dogs out sunday morning, dishes made it to the sink! he was great! i think it had something to do with the movie we watched Sat night... right baby? :kekeke:

[aaron]

umm, no, I'm always that helpful.

[Southern_Belle]

umm, no, I'm always that helpful.

um, no. you aren't.

[fuzzis]

umm, no, I'm always that helpful.

Careful aaron, you're on the verge of having to throw money at her. :-D

[aaron]

Yeah, I need to find a sock full of pennies.

[fuzzis]

I seem to recall the last time you started down this path, it didn't end well. You really don't want to get Momma Red pissed off at you by proxy. :smt118

[Southern_Belle]

he is helpful sometimes... and that sometimes is usually only when i am nagging. it is nice to have things down without nagging taking place :-D

[Hermione]

I've never understood why, when two adults share a home and both work full-time, why is one of them "helping" when they do chores? And why does the woman have to remember where the man's stuff is? And why can't men fold the towels the right way . . . oh, never mind.

Because the woman always moves the man's stuff, and never puts it back where it was to begin with......arrrrggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hermi, what's the right way to fold a towel?:smt118:confused::-D

[Hermione]

Fold a towel in half, then in half again longwise, and then in thirds, sort of like a burrito. They stack more neatly than if you just fold them in quarters. I also know how to neatly fold a fitted sheet but could not describe it if I had to. My sheets and towels -- little islands of neatness in a messy life.

According to my Sner, Hermione, the proper way to fold a towel is in thirds longwise, then in half, and then in thirds again.

Fuzz, it's probably like the conversation I used to have with people in Louisiana about how to cook rice (boil vs. steam) it always comes down to "but that's the way GranMere did it!"

:smt102:smt102:smt102 Again, The math don't work out for a towel....try it by your specs.....IT DONT WORK!!!!!!

Please, Hermi....enough damage to the male brain is enough....steam, boil,...what ...steam is just a couple inches above the plateau of boil. Ya'll are killin' me!...Outright killin' me......:-D:p

Sure it does. You're a man, good with directions, so I figured that you could handle the abbreviated version, although come to think of it...considering your problem keeping track of permits, perhaps I over-estimated your abilities. :smt118

[Hermione]

FB, all I can say is don't tell anybody in Louisiana if you cook your rice by bringing the water to boil, putting a lid on the pan, and turning the heat way down for 15-20 minutes. That's "steamed" rice. They "boil" it like pasta, and you can about get a fistfight going on the subject.

The towel. Hold the towel up, longwise. Fold it in half (the two hemmed ends together) then in half again bringing the hemmed ends to the middle fold, so that you have a rectangle. Then fold the rectangle into thirds. The towel is neat and compact.

Now to do the sheets . . . no, never mind. Just wad them up and stuff them in the closet, or better yet, just wash them and put them back on the bed.

There is a whole bunch of difference in a towel and a forest. And a fitted sheet for that matter.:smt118

[Hermione]

I have to confess, I watched somebody do the sheet thing on a TV show long time ago. I would never, ever have figured it out on my own.

You didn't have to pay a fee either did you? I got to watch a girl in speech at Jones do it. It was neat. I never woulda' thunk it.

[Hermione]

Did she nest the corners inside each other?

[dream member]

I still can't fold a fitted sheet...it looks like I just rolled it up and shoved it in the closet!

[Fish-Bait]

Did she nest the corners inside each other?
I don't remember, I made a C in that class. It was still cool though. She did it twice, and I am still confused, but the girl that sat beside me was hot! AANNNNNDDDDD I went on a date with her....Those were the days.

[Hermione]

Randi, the trick is to fold the sheet in half with the corners of one end nested into the corners of the other end, then fold it in half again (sideways) and bring one set of corners over the other set so that they fit like stacked paper cups, then fold the rest of the sheet however you want to. You might have to do it a couple of times but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

See there...I am already lost....another time another day Hermi!
I'll try it when the wife ain't lookin'!

Fish, just put 'em back on the bed, seriously. That's what I do.

:bonk:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I'm going to try that!!!! :)

[Hermione]

Sir Mickey Mouse agrees: That's how my mother did it. I probably have the nicest, neatest cabinets of any bachelor you'll ever meet! If they are not folded in thirds, then they must be dirty and need to go to the hamper.

Thanks for the rep! However, my son was the tidiest bachelor I ever knew. He even folded the dirty clothes (saves space in the hamper) Too bad for him he married a girl as messy as his mom.

My other half is a very clean person himself...oh how I love that! I don't have to follow him around cleaning up. He even does something that amazes me...he puts the toilet seat BACK down!! :smt103:smt103

Ya'll are nagging.

[dream member]

Ya'll are nagging.

I'd like to consider it as admiring! :)

[dream member]

Hermione did tell me how to fold a fitted sheet though; that was a breakthrough for me! :) If I can just figure out how to separate colors and whites the correct way now!
