You know you've finally got her trained correctly (after 40 years) when she comes home from working all day, cooks dinner, & instead of asking if you went to the casino today.....says.....how did you do at the casino today?

Just thought the younger guys might need some guidance on this issue.

That there is some of that "wise-old-man" **** you hear about!

 

When really she thinks, "He believes Ive been at work all day - but Ive met a younger guy and spent most of the day in a cheap motel - he spends money in the casino when I am getting far more bucks than he can manage".

Be careful old wise man - its usually when you think youve got em beat, that they already beat you without you realising.

 

lmao...

 

You can not control or manipulate women. You may think you are winning but they will find a way to beat you!

You can only control and manipulate when dating. They think you have the upper hand. Once you marry them it is all over because they think they have the upper hand. They will fight to get everything they want. They will let you think you are winning right up to the very end and catch you off guard.... then they will sneak in and get what they want.

You can never underestimate women. They are crafty creatures! And they love holding the "goods" hostage!

 

Back in the day when first married, I was making 10,080 at IBM and fixing tvs to make additional money to tide the paycheck over.

The wife was pregnant and when I came home she had jacked up the thermostat to like 78 several days and no amount of discussion got traction in the argument. Too hot for me and the gas bill is going to swamp us. Dont touch it leave it at 70 P L E A S E.

When at my wits end I glued the stat to 70 and figured that I had made some economic progress on this matter. That is what I thought...........

Came home early one day and the house is like 80++++ WHatttt !

hOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?????????????AARGUEE

When I made it to the thermostat, I was shocked - - -shocked. There nurse lady dude had hung a washcloth, you see a wet washcloth.

PROING! That's it I give, UNCLE. Carry on you got the point, Ill be quiet and follow, yes my dear.

Like I said before, I want to be like Chris !

 

It’s OK, really it is, they suffer from the same kind of fantasies in Washington too.

 

Hey Brad, I have a new found respect for the automatics....took Wilma out & for the first time really removed some tire material.....really did some serious slap-shifting & cloverleafing........

Have you ever really given Pebbles a workout?

 

Never been over 70 mph in it's 738 miles.

 

70......70?

Pebbles must be the most pristeen XF left on earth!

Hell I get up to almost 70 before I get out of my driveway.....

70?

 

I will let her go for $20K.

 

How many ways to reply. Let me just say that if she needs training look for one that doesn't. My wife accepts me as I am and I don't abuse her acceptance. And I accept her as she is and she won't ever find me trying to change her. That is the key. Find the right one and love her for who she is.

Pebbles would be an absolute bargain for someone at that price!!!!!

I think in 10 years if you keep it under 10,000 miles.....someone will be willing to give you $25K ++.

 

I agree with you, but it will be a lot longer than 10 years. In the first 6-7 years the depreciation has destroyed the value of these fine cars, and I think it will take 25+ to get them even close to their MSRPs...

 

Brad & I both paid $17K for our new '08s.....stickers were >$38K.....he's not going to lose much.....they were new ....but sold without the LPW....just the 3/36 bumper to bumper...

 

True .....

$17K with 17 miles on it and a MSRP of $38,165.
