Husbands & Wifes, according to sparky
« Reply #-1 on: December 21, 2014, 10:47:53 PM »
well, it's xmas time.  I like xmas.  I have been married for 33 years to a lovely, patience, understanding and loving woman.  she has helped me more in ways that I could tell ya.  I love her dearly.  and all 3 of my kids respect her completely.  I make sure of it.  My wife is the bread winner in our family.  ppl ask me if that bothers me.  nope.  I just give my wife all my money (except for rub money, meat money and charcoal money).  I am not the boss in our house either.   :(  well.....I ordered a new grill and it wasn't suppose to be delivered until Monday or Tuesday when my wife would have been at work (i used my own money.  I work).  wouldn't ya know it.  the damn thing gets delivered today.  while i was at work.  so, i get this call at work.  guess who it is?  "what the h#ll is this box on our doorstep that says it's for grilling and smoking?"  a lot of yelling at this time.   :(  so, when she is done i tell her.  dear, i did sell 4 of my grills in the last 2 weeks (i had 9 on my patio and was only using a few of them) for a lot of money and i took all the money and deposited all of it in your account to help you w/ the financial burden of xmas.  silence.  more silence.  I'm thinking, she doesn't have sh!t to say.  I all happy w/ myself.  I'm also thinking, i should be getting sex tonight.   ;) :P  she finally says, dear what would you like for dinner tonight?  i would really like tacos.  guess what.  they were tacos on the table.  and they were good too.  the pitcher of sangria didn't hurt none either.   8)  I got a great wife.   :)

Congratulations a good one is hard to find.

I follow the same strategy and just order it and try to justify it later. Right now I'm using the lower dollar plan ???

Sparky,
Have you ever considered a future in politics?  What a "sell job"!!  I may have to put you on speed dial, just in case I get in over my head and need some advice!

I think most of us macho outdoor cooking sons of a guns are not the bosses in our houses either  ;) ;) Up here in the mountains there is hardly any work so Wendy being an LVN is going to be my bread winner as well...no probs with me....

Now about this smoker/grill package that arrived at your doorstep........
