In what spare time I have I try hard to keep my shop tidy, organized and clean. I put all the tools in the proper place and clean and sharpen things that need cleaned and sharpened.

I just recently learned that my wife is in full blown menopause, I suspected something was going on but was afraid to inquire. Now don't get me wrong, I mean I asked many times of her "why are you so damned angry", and got something like "you'll never change" blah blah blah. "In one ear and out the other she says".

So during one of my recent sharpening events she came to my shop and stared longingly at my hatchet and asked if it was sharp. A sense of foreboding came over me.

Does anybody have a place to put me up for say maybe a year or two till this crap blows over? How long does menopause last?

And she has her own guns as well.?ÿ

...How long does menopause last?...

...The rest of your life.

Do what the rest of us old silverbacks usually do; dig your heels in and go deaf. ??ÿ

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put arsenic in your tea."

Winston: "If I were your husband I'd drink it."

IDK why that old saw comes to mind...?ÿ

Yea, it's called your home. Just deal with it and the easiest way to do so is simply acquiesce to her outrageous demands, insults, etc.?ÿ If you love her, which I suspect you do, she will appreciate it, not immediately but she will. So quit the bitching and start the lovin'.

You think Menopause is bad? Just wait until you become impotent, and you damn sure will, then you you'll understand.?ÿ?ÿ ??ÿ ??ÿ

Put a cover on the thermostat.?ÿ It will suddenly change itself from 90 to 50 and back within an hour.?ÿ Blankets and quilts will suddenly appear and disappear from your bed too.

You have to figure out which is better, the white pill or the yellow pill. I will recommend the strong one.?ÿ

Makes your life so much better.?ÿ

Mr Cow, had you ever considered that this would give you TWO mother-in-laws, and maybe even more, if there were stepmother's involved?

I am concerned for your well being....

I could almost claim I had 3 mothers-in-law counting my wife's birth mother, adoptive mother, and my stepdaughter's other grandmother who wanted to include me in the Vhristmas gathering.

But I think HC is just dreaming, as there has been no indication he would find a way or willing participants in that trade.

Whatever you do, don't go online calling your menopausal wife "a perpetual pain in my ass" and looking for ways to?ÿ"shut the harpie up". That never ends well.?ÿ

DOH!!!

Yeah, that might not be wise, but nobody ever accused me of being such. DOH

Many people have one of those bluetooth gizmos clipped to their ear and are constantly talking about different subjects and change between their hand touching the gizmo and it is also very interesting that while they eat, are busy reading or stop and have any person to person contact their gizmo never gets any attention.

I actually believe that these people are simply acting busy and their gizmo is a prop to keep people from bothering them.

What happens when it works waaaay too good and lasts over the 6 hour limit. I sure as hell ain't going to no ER in the middle of the night and try to explain what my specific problem is in front of a crowd. And besides I heard all they do is place a board behind Mr. Johnson and whack the bejesus out of it with a big rubber mallet. No sir not me!?ÿ ? ?ÿ
