And I don't care if my wife hears me!

Two guys at work, one retired three months ago, the other WON'T retire. He has about 40 years service but won't retire because his wife leaves a Honey-Do list on the fridge everyday. For years she didn't know that we get every other Friday off! He got up, got dressed and went out..... to the park, for a ride in Vermont, to the track, anything just so she doesn't hound him with things to do.

The other guy that retired three months ago; his wife just found out! I guess he told too many people and it got back to her. Yikes!!!

Yes I'm a lucky man! I get to doink around in the garage all the time, my dolly domestic time is minimal, we never argue, I get sex way more than the National Average and she's a good cook.

That is all, back to work.

...and if you're a religous sort of person say a prayer for the guy that retired three months ago, I'm pretty sure he's in real trouble.

A good friend of mine, neighbor down my street, tinkers in his garage all day. He doesn't do anything, just putters around. His Z-06 has less than ten thousand miles on it. He had to retire twice to get it right, the wife drives him nuts.

I have a long way before I'm in that position, but I know my wife won't care :D she's cool with whatever I want as long as the basics are done. She never sets projects for me, without asking first.

Mine doesn't care what i do, as long as the bills are paid.

"Honey, i want this $1500 pair of speakers."

"Do you have the money after bills?"

"Yep."

"Then why are you asking me? I don't give a E36 M3."

They are out there, but they can be hard to find. My wife has the patience of Marge Simpson.

If my wife had a twin, I'd suspect our wives were related. She's the same way with me.

Being newly single at the time of life when the womenfolk are supposedly "in their prime," I'm waiting with bated breath...

A 'honey do' list is a foreign thing to me...but I now know it's a red flag should it come up...

I just have one thing to say:

Do not under any circumstances watch "House Husbands of Hollywood" on Hulu with your significant other. The scarring is irreversible. You've been warned, that is all.

Though if you do have a need to see some of this BS in action, feel free.

One couple has an aspiring actor husband with a power-lawyer wife, she leaves him honey-do notes every morning. He was pre-med, but decided to be an actor instead, now he's getting his marching orders from a Hello Kitty notepad.

Another couple is made up of a former Marine Sniper and Jillian Reynolds (American Idol Extra, etc).

I have to say though, Charlie is pretty awesome but then he's a former bank robber from the Bronx and basically he's the most well-balanced person there, IMHO.

He's been in prison and now he's married. He still gets ordered around, but the sex has got to be WAY better.

My wife finds me non-running project cars, is staying home to raise our son, and has dinner on the table when I get home every night. She does have a sister.

As for the honey-do list, it is negotiable in my house. I have X amount of time to spend, I tell her to spend it wisely cause it isn't all getting done.

"High school is a lot like prison: Bad food, high fences; the sex you want, you ain't gettin', the sex you gettin', you don't want. I've seen terrible things."

I'm not trying to start anything here, but if I asked the girlfriend about a pair of $1500 sneakers...let's just say, questions regarding my mental status, WOULD be asked.

1500 Watt tennis shoes! And they come in pairs!

I write much faster than my girlfriend; when she starts a list, so do I. She hands me 10 jobs, I hand her 20.

Hah, I tried that once. And then it ended up being my list anyhow, which got "misplaced" somewhere around where I found the Xbox controller. Funny how that worked out.

Also a bad choice: The show on Discovery Health I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!

It was a few cold lonely nights for The Krautman.
