What rustles your jimmies - Part II

[BrotherWolf]

You boys are just jealous I don't call YOU!!

we call each other for comforting

Took hubby 2 days to put the floor into my sons room. I love him to death but he is so the slowest person of life. Stare at the piece, cut the piece, stare at the piece, line it up with floor, stare some more, check to make sure it is perfect, stare some more, install piece. I asked him why it took him 2 days to put in the flooring and he said the most time was taken up prepping the floor. So I decided to prep my other sons floor. 1/2 later I am done and cleaned up.

I often think things must be complicated and difficult. Then, I find myself in the position to do it myself. Taking out a toilet does not take 3 hrs. Taking down a light fixture to prep the wall for paint should not take an hour.

And he wonders why I do things like rip out carpets without waiting for him.

You just described my life for the past 6 months (in the midst of a house remodel, 95% done now, praise the lord)

Tried to give a girl advice on her form. She might as well have told me to go fuk myself between her response and the look she gave me.

I should have told her to enjoy her neck problems she will have eventually.

I've always been back and forth about whether to say something to someone in this situation. Lesson learned. I won't do it again!!!

[Fawnl]

why the rush ???

The rush? There is no actual rush. But I like to actually do things sometimes. And when my hubby spends an entire weekend laying 100sq feet of laminate flooring it make me want to rip my hair out. I need change during the weekend. Not the same old same old of watching my kids while my husband works.

[penny0527]

Fawn, never complain when someone does something for you so that you don't have to do it yourself! Just be grateful.

Dani, I agree. People think they know it all.

I'm trying Penny. I actually would prefer to do it myself and then spend the weekend having fun with him and the kids. Unfortunately, I am not skilled in the arts of cutting things the right length. Why? That sounds so simple. I don't know why, but every time, I end up with a lot of scrap material, lol.

Maybe you should take more time doing it

I feel your pain, Fawn Hence the reason I end up doing most of what I NEED to get done, lol.

This is exactly why I don't say anything... I want to help so badly sometimes when I see a girl trying really hard but doing something wrong, but am so scared of getting snapped at lol! Oh well, at least you had the balls to try to help her, it's too bad she couldn't appreciate it!

Woman.....You have got to learn the art of praise! Also just appreciate that he took the time to make sure it turned out nicely instead of half-assing it.

I hate when people react like that. If I'm effing up, tell me. I don't want to walk around like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

Easier said then done my man!!! I have to truck the 2 beasties everywhere with me!!

I feel your pain, Fawn Hence the reason I end up doing most of what I NEED to get done, lol.

Oh, I DO. I do everything that I can up until that very last point at which I have to let him take over. I did all of the reno's of the old house. ALL of them.

You are so SO right Penny. I bet your the best wife ever. Want to be my wife? Seriously though, the job he did, looks professional and 95% of the time it does. He does it ****ing PERFECT. I should be more appreciative and I should serve him sammiches with bacon while he works.

Also... LOOK WHO JUST FIGURED OUT THE MULTI QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only took me a year...

I was married to a very careful and meticulous man...which is great it meant things got done right the first time
<<<<see this woman? patience is something I do not always have..
he would look at me and if I had a certain I am now going to lose my friggin mind look on my face he would say something like
"well kids which one of you wants to go with your mom to fetch some lunch"
I was all for standing and helping or handing him things or fetching and carrying but....could only do it for so long and then I had to have a break

he used to tease me and say he was gonna buy me a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle and watch and see how long I would work on it..
I'd just laugh and tell him about long enough to rip the box open and pitch that summa b*tch right across the room

I just installed my new kitchen faucet. Told my husband if he came anywhere near the project I'd break his neck...

I hate it when my husband attempts certain projects. There's usually tons of yelling, swearing and god forbid the man acutally read any directions...makes me rage!

My husband gets irritated and cusses too if a project doesn't go well. I think it's humorous when he gets pissed about it.

[SultanaK]

I'm sorry to hear about the losses of life. Be strong and help others pull through.


Jimmies rustled at yet another long, painful Thursday and Friday. I fukking hate my Thursdays and Fridays.

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Which one of you is yelling and swearing?

It's always funnest when both do!

Hair pulling is optional, but highly condoned




I enjoy tear out and rough work in the house and have learned to hire a pro for the finish work like tape and texture. We both enjoy painting.

I dont mind working on the house, most of the time I am always under a car on the weekends, whether its mine or family members, I enjoy it actually. Just finished with my dads house replacing the whole kitchen counters, went with black marble tops all over the kitchen, one shee twas 8 by 6 feet and it was heavy bringing in to the house.

[BrotherWolf]

Honey? call me when it's done I am going to get a martini ..... that'd be me

unless it involves welding then I am in

[Wyomann]

The only time I do plumbing work is when her pipes need cleaned.

Oh man, I know that this will be me and mine when we have our own place... He is good for muscles, but I am definitely the handy one in the relationship.

Being forced to look at kid in front of me's hairy butt crack during a three hour exam.

[Wyomann]

Back one day and trolling already.

Being forced to look at kid in front of me's hairy butt crack during a three hour exam.

I hope it wasn't an english writing test.

"Me's hairy butt crak", do you mean yours or the kid in front of you?
