[QUOTE="Bez, post: 72115, member: 412"] I think it is their idea to let me think it is my idea - but I have them fooled. I let them think it was my idea to have a good idea. In fact their ideas are only because of my ideas and my ideas come from living ideally. Here is my re-post of how it works for me ....... ______________________________________________________ After 26 years of wedded bliss - they wait on me hand and foot - I kid you not. No matter what time I get up - wife irons me a fresh shirt and pants, makes me breakfast and packs me a lunch, buys my smokes for me - yeah, I have that habit - only person in the house - she makes sure the truck is gassed up and even starts it for me when the weather is cold. That's just in the morning. Get home and the kids have supper on for me, with a fresh cup of tea waiting, mail stacked and sorted. Mom and I sit at the table after supper and shoot the breeze while kids clean up and go do their home work. Wife drives the youngest to figure skating and oldest drives herself to play hockey - they do not want to bother me after a long day. Chores are always done by the time I get home and all I have to do is park the truck, walk in, clean up and eat. Through the week I usually only do one or two inspections of the yard and cattle areas. At around 2000 hours if we are all home, the kids fix me and mom a drink so we can hash over the next days work. Kids are running straight A's and both are looking at sports scholarships. They are pretty good hands around cattle and know a bit about ropin' and shootin'. They are braeking a couple of horses and I figure they will have them trail ready within the next month or so. Once in a while I have to raise my voice, but that is just to be heard over the noise when some boy comes sniffing around in his fancy car with a boom box running at about half volume. I usually fix that by telling them I'll put a bullet hole in the speakers if it ever happens again. Funny how that tends to scare them off. Only the farm boys seem to keep coming back - can't complain about that too much. The last guy who came from the city had a nose ring, several ear rings and something stuck to his tongue. Told him I could pull it with some pliers if he held still long enough - he didn't have much to say - oldest girl ran him off anyways. He didn't like guns and oldest girl was in process of shooting something when he showed up last time - I think he was here for almost 2 minutes. __________________________________________________ It was my wifes idea to go back to work, but her idea came from my idea that the banks idea was a lousy idea and their idea was to take our idea that we had to expand - then BSE ruined my idea but the banks had an idea that my idea that my wife supported with her own ideas was truly a bad idea. In the end my strategy seems to work. It is a good idea to let the women folk think it is their idea. That way all good ideas are there for the taking. Honey! Would you like a drink? Great, while you are at it could you get me one too please? Thanks, oh love of my life! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You ladies have a great day - and remember - your ideas are always great - and I for one always appreciate a great idea. 8) Bez [/QUOTE]
