If we can remeber to put it up why can't they rember to put it down? Especially when you consider it's their #1 complaint about living with a man.

You'll know me when you see me dance, I'm they guy that looks like he's stirring a big ole pot.

A little duck tape will fix that scratch. toilet seats should be left up so the animals can get a drink.

For us toilet seats are no big deal, the current users adjusts it to his/her needs. As far as scratches or open wounds, my husband puts new skin on everything. I've seen him put it on injuries that definately needed medical attention. It burns like hell when he puts it on. But you know what, after the initial pain, it really heals nicely. I think he would have been the burn the wound with the hot iron type back in the old days. Guess what he asked me if I packed for the trip... NEW SKIN!! We should own stock.

We call this "male refrigerator blindness" in our household. It's incurable, I'm afraid.

But there are, of course, lots of things I couldn't do without my man. Like program the VCR, for example. Before Michael, my VCR always flashed 12:00.

Unless that cut is the result of a tablesaw accident

... requiring 4 hours of microscopic surgery to your hand in the hopes that you might be able to use it again.

That might be true, but give a man a bad head cold, and he thinks he's at death's door!!!

Absolutely true! Credit where credit is due.

I told Mike he will be sorry he opened this "can of worms".
SunnyM-I'm laughing out loud.
Critter-Don't you?

Birdman-Are you sure you are not related to MIke? You think altogether too much alike!

Karen-ditto-he surfs the t.v. every commercial,even when on the computer AND listening to talk radio.Then wonders why he didn't "get" what was said just right!Stogey is digging himself in deeper & deeper. I think I'll dis-able the clicker,or "lose" it. He expects me to locate items when they were last in his possession three months ago!

I love this man,but he CAN make me crazy.

Let the sun shine-Time may be a good healer but it's a lousy beautician.

Women should basically stop trying to change men. Find the one with the least amount of annoying habits and then just look the other way when it comes to stupid stuff like remote controls, leaving undies on the floor, etc.

**Heather** · 09-20-2004

In the interest of fairness and full disclosure, I will admit to two of my own little foibles that bug the crap out of my man:

1. At times, I start sentences in the middle of a thought and expect Michael to understand what in the hell I'm talking about (because in my head, it makes sense).

2. I have a bad habit of talking to him when he's in another room. He really hates this, but I'm having a hard time breaking myself of this.

Heather, please don't tell me you give him grief (ie: You NEVER listen to me) when he answers "Huh, what did you say"

STOGEY · 09-20-2004

First of all I must be quite talented when using the clicker, because I can time things just right between commercials. As far as listening to my women, I can listen and do other things at the same time. And use the clicker,computer and listen to the radio and my Rush Limbaugh at the same time. I think some people just get a little jealous of my multi talentedness.

Of course not! I know what a pain in the butt I can be; I'm just lucky to have found someone to put up with me (and vice versa). I find that his idiosyncrasies are the things I love best about him.

Incidentally, I have to say that since I don't watch TV much, when I do lie on the couch, I'm the clicker master (or is that mistress?). And I flip around incessantly; you never know when you might find "Six Feet Under" in English (only found it in Spanish down here, so far).
