Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

Rose,
I know just what you mean, about husbands. Mine is out all day now driving tractors for other people, and all I wanted was for him to put a tractor and trailer in the yard so that someone could load up the logs from the huge trees we've had felled (I've damaged my arm lifting exceptionally heavy objects just lately - got to see the osteopath), but I had to nag him. If it was someone other than me asking, he'd have done it straight away.

I tell you what you could do - is phone up and book someone else to do you a porch etc. and then tell him. After he's yelled at you he'll probably do it himself. That's what I do. It helps if you put ear plugs in first :lol:

After 25 years of being married I could write a book on how to manage husbands.

Rose,
I guess I've been lucky. My husband's pretty easy to manage. Clean clothes, food, as much freedom as he wants (apart from when I want a trailer for logs) and plenty of XXX, and he's happy enough.

Micric,
I think I'd count as an economy wife - I never asked for, or wanted an engagement ring. Total waste of money I reckon. And we bought the cheapest wedding ring in the shop for me. No big expensive wedding either - homemade food in the farm shed and meal out on the concrete with tables and chairs borrowed from the chapel, and 2 beer barrels in another farm shed. Actually, everyone reckoned it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. People still talk about it now, 25 years later.

After 37 year of marriage I could write three words on how to manage a wife 'DON'T BOTHER TRYING !!'

Brandyaitch,
That's because the women do the managing, and I expect your wife is pretty good at it, if she's successfully managed you for 37 years :lol:
