The guys were just closing up the garage so I asked them if they'd like to go get some Chinese food. Both did. So we go to the Chinese Buffet in town and of course we pay first. When the guy told us $26 I took out $13 and expected Rick to pay the rest. He paid $10 and Ricky paid the rest. Granted Ricky should pay some I guess, but I made the comment that I was sick and tired of paying the most for our meals out. When I went to get some food my a$$hole husband told my son that "she's the one that wanted to eat out".

He was born with bad bones in his lower back. Back pain is just something he lives with. But this week something else started. On Wed he went to the bathroom and when he reached down to lift the toilet lid, he got a shooting pain in his lower back, his legs went numb and he couldn't stand up. It happened again on Thurs so he went to see his chiropractor. She took an xray and didn't do anything. When he went back today she said he needed to see a neurologist and to go to the ER if it happened again. Well it happened 4 times today, so here we are in the ER. The ER doc thinks it is a pinched nerve that is causing a muscle spasm which pinches the nerve even more. It only lasts about 30-60 seconds, but it is very painful and scary in that if he didn't have something to hold onto, he would fall. They are giving him some muscle relaxers and I think we'll get to go home soon.

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked me why, I replied,

"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....

________________________________

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.

I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'

'No,' she answered. I then said,

'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...

________________________________

I took my wife to a restaurant.

The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"

"Nah, she can order for herself."

And that's when the fight started.....

_______________________________

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked her, "Do you know him?"

"Yes", she sighed,

"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...

________________________________

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

______________________________

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.

She asked, "What's on TV?"

I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...

________________________________

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the
weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...

_______________________________

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started......

______________________________

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age.

I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

And then the fight started...

________________________________

My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,

"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

And then the fight started........ ]]> DianaB http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8206 Breaded Tomatoes http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8205&goto=newpost Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:28:17 GMT THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE EVER! 2 - 14 oz cans of tomatoes (I used some canned tomatoes from my garden) 5 slices of bread - torn to bite sized pieces 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar depending on taste (I used splenda) salt and pepper butter Heat tomatoes in a pan.

2 - 14 oz cans of tomatoes (I used some canned tomatoes from my garden)
5 slices of bread - torn to bite sized pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar depending on taste (I used splenda)
salt and pepper
butter

Heat tomatoes in a pan. Add sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir. Add the bread. Stir. Heat through and ladle into a bowl. Top with a pat of butter.

I added a little more splenda to my bowl because I like sweeter breaded tomatoes. I didn't use any butter and it was still very good. You could add more or less bread depending on how you like the consistency of the breaded tomatoes.

Gary was just wild about it - he ate TWO big bowls and said I could make it for him anytime. I would imagine it took me all of five minutes to prepare. Pretty inexpensive too. ]]> 4WT Recipes gja1000 http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8205 A Real Friend....... http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8204&goto=newpost Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:28:04 GMT I want you all to know that I think of each of you as my "real" friends!!! :ghug:

They were hosting a birthday party for his friend after a day of golfing on Saturday, and the girls' grandparents were supposed to watch them but backed out at the last minute. I talked it over with Scott and said sure, as long as they drove them out, we'd take them for the weekend.

Now, BEFORE this, my cousin came out with her three brats on Friday night. I love my cousin but I honestly never want her kids at my house again. They weren't just bad, they were terrible, and nobody can control them. I know Scott was on the verge of exploding. They were jumping around, throwing tennis balls towards our new 50" tv, hitting and screaming "I hate you!" to my cousin and her boyfriend, pretending to smoke toothpicks like cigarettes... the little boy was jumping around and fell off the couch, slamming his head hard on the wood coffee table and then SCREAMING... the oldest girl (7) picked up a whole watermelon from the counter and demanded to have some (I said no, and put it down), and she promptly picked up wine glasses and swung them around her head! It was a total nightmare!

So when Adrianne and Morgann showed up Saturday morning, I knew it would be a breeze! I planned to get painting done this weekend, so I sat them down with a bowl of grapes and some cartoons and they were as happy as could be. During commercials they'd come talk to me. My favorite was Adrianne saying "Lindsey, guess what. Today is the best day EVER! I had donuts for breakfast and now I'm HERE!" and she also told me "This isn't even really like a house, it's like a princess castle!" They are just too adorable! They played outside a bit but really loved being able to watch cartoons. They don't do that much at home! But in the 2 hours they watched cartoons, I was able to paint baseboards and windows in the whole back of the house!

Scott was at a golf tournament all day and they had a big meal and stuff out there so he didn't get home until 8. I asked the girls if they wanted to play a trick on him, and they were all for it! I waited for the garage door to open and they came running and hid in the closet. Scott just threw his shoes down at the door and I told him to put them away! He opened the closet and they jumped out and scared him! Lol they could not stop laughing about it later!

They also brought their bathing suits for the hot tub, but unfortunately the hot tub is not working! So I told them our jetted bathtub is kind of the same thing, and they were just as happy in there! Later we took them upstairs and watched 101 Dalmations on the projector screen and ate munchies :) They went to bed and fell asleep immediately.

The next morning we woke up for church and had to drag the girls out of bed after they had been sleeping for 10.5 hours. They were SO good in church, way better than I expected. They sat quietly through the whole service! Then we took them and Layla (in her wheels!) to the school playground just a few blocks away. Not long after, my brother and their mom came and we all had lunch (barbequed deer smokies, fries, and fresh veggies!) and they went home.

I really missed having them around when they were gone! Those girls are really such little angels and SO well behaved. Scott and I really got a taste of how good parenting can make a life easier this weekend! Friday night we thought maybe we'll never have kids, but after spending time with Adrianne and Morgann, I want my own for sure :) I can't wait until they want to come out again for another sleepover in the "princess castle" :D ]]> Lindsey http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8200 I Have A Very Stupid Brother http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8199&goto=newpost Sat, 14 Aug 2010 23:14:36 GMT My younger brother took my Mom to car lots today and she bought...well leased a 2010 Toyota Rav4 for 3 years.

She is so thrilled and drove it out to show me. I'm very happy for her, but now she says that everything will fit so she can go to Florida. My brother didn't even talk with my older brother or myself about this. I'm so angry that I could stomp the you-know-what out of him and not think twice about it.

Mom called me up while at the dealership and was so happy. After I acted thrilled for her, I asked to speak to Brad and the very first thing I said to him was "do you have any idea at all what you've just done." He told me he didn't influence her in anyway.......yeah right.

She just took out 5 mailboxes....not her first accident or second....can't see well....deaf in one ear....on kidney dialysis....congestive heart failure. What the he** was he thinking?

Well....I took some pictures of Mom, at 87 and her very first ever brand new car...
