Boofo Explains Women

Dear Friends:

It is important for men to remember that as women grow older it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When men notice this they should try not to yell.

Let me relate how I handle the situation.

When I got laid off from my consulting job and took early retirement in March, it became necessary for my wife, Mary, to get a full-time job for extra income and for the health benefits that we need. It was shortly after she started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age.

I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she needs to rest for half an hour before she starts supper. I try not to yell. Instead, I tell her take her time and just wake me when she finally gets the supper on the table.

Whereas before, she washed the dishes as soon as we finished eating. Now it is not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper.

I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening, "The dishes aren't going to clean themselves." This seems to motivate her get them done before bedtime.

Now that she is older, she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Our washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says, "I don't feel like I can make another trip down those steps." I don't make an issue of this. As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening, I am willing to overlook it.

Not only that, unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to Tuesday's or Thursdays bowling, or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing.

This gives her a little more time to do some of those odd things like bathing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. If I have a good day of fishing, this allows her time to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace.

Mary is starting to complain a little occasionally. For example, she will say, "It is really difficult to find time to pay the monthly bills during the lunch hour." I continue to offer encouragement. I say," Honey, stretch it out over two or even three days. That way you won't need to rush so much." I also remind her "If you missed a lunch now and then it wouldn't hurt you, if you know what I mean."

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She takes a break when she is only half finished mowing the lawn. I try not to embarrass her when she takes these little rest breaks. I tell her, "Fix yourself a nice glass of lemonade and sit for a while. As long as you're making one glass, make one for me as well and bring it to the hammock so you can talk to me until I fall asleep."

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Mary on a daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older.

Boofo

NOTICE: Boofo's Funeral was on Saturday, May 20th. Mary was acquitted on Monday, May 22th by an all woman jury.

Everyone pulls their own weight or else.

If you open it, close it.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you take it out, put it back.
If you make a mess, clean it up.

It's not rocket science.

Pic worth 1000 words ?

hehe...Boofo, I'd love to meet you..you sound like you and I would get along perfectly ;)

It depends on the time of day for me, but usually the one not paying attention.

Boofo, as a woman myself, i must say you explained women perfectly ;) That is exactly how we become as we get older. Poor men, what they must endure from us whiney women...hehehe

Lady Divus

Exactly. And I really miss the lemonade Mary would bring when she would talk to me as I fell asleep in the hammock. :(

About time someone caught that. But like I said in the other thread, it depends on what timezone you are in. :cross-eyed:

[high]* Boofo is sticking to that knowing damn well it is the stupidest thing he has ever said to another human being. :confused:[/high]

*reads original post.... gazes at msn sign on box.... reads post again...... ponders whether to go and nag boofo now or wait til dinner is done........* ;)

Hmmm, now I know where you get your ideas from about nagging me to death till I've done something.

/me refuses to log into MSN for a few days.

You poor baby. You are so abused. :(

Don't I know it too :(

Well, don't despair. We can fix that for you so you are never bothered again. :cross-eyed:

Here's a better explanation of women
Woman = Time * Money

We all know that time is money...

time = money
woman = money * money
woman = (money)^2

We also know that money is the root of all evil,
correct?

money = sqrt(evil)
woman = [sqrt(evil)]^2
woman = evil

WOMEN ARE EVIL!!!

[high]* peterska2 goes into hiding :([/high]

Awe, you aren't one of the EVIL women though kerry-anne

You only need to hide from those that are looking for you, dear. :cross-eyed:

She mightn't be, but I most definitely am ;) just not in your usual run-o'-the-mill evil woman way :p

This thread is hilarious! Makes me think of the old saying, "women, you can't live with them and you can't shoot them" :p

Don't you mean...

Women: You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something...

Exactly what I am doing

[high]* peterska2 re-engages lurk mode[/high]

I also hear women are bad drivers

Don't even think about going there.

[high]* peterska2 is an ex-driver though[/high]

*Encourages Blam Forumz to go there* :D

[high]* Freesteyelz wisely steps out of harms way.[/high]

Haha, boofo old buddy, what better to get reacquainted with vBorg than one of your jokes :P

haha I really would not go much further with that one. I said something a long the lines of "Your the best women driver I've ever seen" to a girl once. I didn't mean it as an insult but she took it that way, and I had to walk home. :(

Been busy wasting my time with women :banana: (j/k to all the women out there).

I have been focusing on many different things, hopefully if I can catch you on MSN or AIM we can get reacquainted. Since when do you run vBorg :confused: -- alot of changes here!

I'm on IM all the time, so you should have no problem catching me there.

Me run the org? Never happen. I wouldn't want the responsibility. And besides, I don't have a big enough ego for the job or am that power-hungry, anyway. ;)
