My Dog Ate It

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

This is funny- I was just last week shopping for chamois biking bottoms, and my ever practical wonderful DH sent me this link:

Ok so is it just me, or do these look like old lady long-johns with attached Depends?? Frump City. And where are my hips supposed to go?? What was he thinking??

Anyway, I thanked him for his thoughtful suggestion....and got these beauties instead:

P.S. I do think it's great that those guys will repair chamois items.

P.P.S. He likes the Louis G's.

Well Lisa - perhaps he should stick to gift certificates?? I definately like you choice better.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

He does too.

So my hubby waits me out. And after two days of him not the least bit bothered about the thought of wearing the same pair of socks twice in a row, I can't take it anymore and pick up after my dog.

So - to make a long story short and get to my point - my hubby KNOWS I can't leave the Pearl Izumi's lay. No matter how much I may want to, my analism and neatfreak tendenancies wear me down WAYYY before he would ever pick them up..................

Be strong, CC....be strong. You are woman, and I hear you roarin'!!

And for pkq's benefit.....I TRIPLE dog dare you!!!

It's a good thing that we don't have a dog. Because I CAN wait it out. (exception: when DH goes away on business for 1 or 2 weeks, i go ahead and pick up the assembly of bowls and glasses and mugs that he leaves by his chair)

I've developed another technique for dealing with his incredible clutter. HIS OFFICE. All bike related or his work related detritis is promptly deposited in his office. on the floor, on the chair, on the printer. stacked untidily, doesnt matter. it's now ONLY his problem and if we have guests (GOD FORBID)
i can shut the door to his office and no one will ever know.

I must confess that over the years the disorder and clutter now bothers me personally (it didn't used to!) it's not just about having guests.
and it's harder to just let him clutter..

[QUOTE=Lenusik;126760]Well, I know know whose cats you are talking about. Cats destroy things just as much as dogs, and usually in a terrible way. They also throw up. I had both, but I am sticking with dogs

[QUOTE]
I have three cats and I have to agree they do ruin things! I have a siemese that when she get's bored she gets into things. She really likes to bring things of mine from around the house and drop them in the toilets. And let's not forget they like to claw up furniture. of coarse I did have a dog once who hated fireworks. We had to knock him out on 4th of july and New years. One year the drugs didn't work and we came home to our kitchen table that had been chewed to bit's.

cross my fingers I have cats whose worst damage is hairballs and cat hair everywhere.

i give them lots of stuff to sharpen claws on and they are happy cats.
I guess some of my foster kittens put tiny little needle marks from their baby teeth on the edges of some papers... nothing like a dog who would eat the whole page!

Having been married once many moons ago, I realize you give up quite a bit of control over your space during marriage, co-habitation, etc. However, I still believe understanding and abiding by each others needs and desires boils down to how much respect you have for one another. How much respect you will receive from your mate can be seen, often, by how much respect they give others. I can understand some things happening as a playful event sometimes but habitual negligence reflects lack of respect. Sounds kinda' harsh but that's the way I think and probably why I will remain single.

I have no desire to marry a man who will have no regard for how much they burden me with things they should be doing for themselves. After all, running a household isn't up to just one person, at least that was per my mother during my formative years. We all had chores around the house, which she said was training for life so we'd know how to pull our weight in society, once we left the nest.

PKG - I just want to clarify something because apparently my post sounds, well, not quite like I intended it to.

My DH is a GREAT guy. He does more for me than I deserve(and he even cleans house occasionally!). He respects me, what I do, and all that I believe; as I do him. He is my best friend, my confidant, and my sanity.

I was one who swore I would never get married. I was bitter, cynical, untrusting; you name it. A typical product of divorce.

But once in awhile soulmates meet, and I was lucky enough to meet mine. Picking up his shorts is so minor in the sceme of things. Besides, its not like I never left mine laying on the floor. And if thats the worst he does, I consider myself lucky.
