| Nov. 23 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | And That's How the Fight Started... Because the holidays are often extremely stressful and our message board also has an over-abundance of stress at times, here are some examples that we can learn from and hopefully avoid. One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he did'nt buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still have not used the gift I bought you last year." AND THAT'S WHEN THE FIGHT STARTED! I asked my wife, "where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I have not been in a long time!" she replied. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" AND THAT'S WHEN THE FIGHT STARTED! I took my wife to a nice restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium 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 was hinting about what she wanted for our anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a scale. THAT'S WHEN THE FIGHT STARTED! When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it repaired. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first--the truck, the car, softball. 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 when I came out again i handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finsih cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say that I will eventually walk again, but I will always have a limp! Copied from who knows where. I have others if these have helped and you are interested. Happy stress-free Holidays and Holy days. Steve |
