What you tink the poo poo platter made from?

Cat and or skunk was my guess.

[Redlinerobert]

well, work day ran late last night.  Last client left at 10:30 so we had a home made dinner instead. 

 

Gotta love tax time.

If you have the sack to think of what it's made from, it really doesn't matter.

We didn't do anything special. I bought her an Ipad a day or so before.

She was pleased.

I did the flowers for our 35th anniversary on 1/27 so I've made a few points.

We celebrated this evening and I think I broke wifey. We were headed out to see a movie after dinner and she slipped on some ice. She told me to get some salt for the walk earlier this week and I never did.  She's going to try and sleep it off but, me being a veteran at tearing apart my shoulder, I think she tore something.

Mine got exactly what she wanted.  A 2" leveling kit and new tint on her 4X4 F150.  Yes, I know I am a lucky man.  Plus I got the monster diamond earrings for her birthday which was Tuesday.

Yours got earrings and mine got crippled

Now whenever she walks in the room you can say, "wassup crip." She should love that one. Mine threw a big honking book at me when I did that to her.

I cooked for my 5 Valentines. The wife and 4 daughters enjoyed the meal. The wife and I extended it to Saturday at the Food and Wine Festival.

Fun times.

[Bankbeater]

We had Italian for dinner. Then planted down on the sofa and watched some TV.

Yea...maybe you should NOT follow Raiders advice.  Just sayin.

She doesn't have the sense of humor I have. I'm somewhat reserved on BR because of the moderating. There are places we are not allowed to go anymore(her rules) because I may have done or said something that is embarrassing to her. Don't get me wrong, it's not directed at her. I treat her well. I sometimes say something honest(some might say offensive) to people employed at restaurants or stores or just about anywhere I go. But, get this. I'm working with a vocational counselor who is supposed to help me transition back into the workforce now that I have a disability. The counselor told me this past week that I need to change if I'm going to succeed. There is no place in the corporate world for my bluntness and honesty, and that I really need to be a team player.  Next time I meet her we're going to "practice" being normal LOL. I told this to wifey and she was offended that someone suggested I need to change my mannerisms. Maybe that what she likes about me. I keep her on her toes.

After forty-three years of marriage, I sent my wife a Happy Valentines Day text from the cabin on the White River, where I was trout fishing.

My wife tells me all the time I offend people. I don't see it.  I have had "sensitivity training" and the odd anger management class.  I could not work in the corporate world anymore so I started my own business 17 years, 18 days, 3 hours and 33 minutes ago.  I have also been through about 150 employees in that time.  I've had grown men tell me I'm to demanding, I just tell them to get their purse and leave.

43 years with you... That woman deserves a medal.

I forgot to tell what wifey got me for valentines day. She filled a vase with hersheys kisses and then attached mini bottles of whiskey and beef jerky to shishkabob skewers and put them in the vase. I'm going to call it a redneck bouquet.

I try an behave myself when my wife and I are out and about. Especially at restaurants. I have big issues with service and snippy wait staff. Everyone is allowed to have a bad day, but don't take it out on me and my family.

I'm trying to picture you having to act all polite and reserved with your counselor. Honestly its cracking me up. About as much as the image of a pipefitter having to wear a tie and a suit! ROFLMAO!!!

Helpful advice for your new carpet walking career. Make sure you hold your glass with your pinky out. Also start with the silverware on the outside and work your way in. Say please and thank you. Don't heat your food in the engine block of your truck. You ain't on a job site anymore. Remember to flush the toilet, the bathroom ain't a Porto john anymore. Don't yell at your boss and tell him where to stick his attitude. You ain't got a Stewart, CBA, and Hall to back you up now. Don't sharpie the walls in the bathroom, again it ain't a Porto john. Don't yell at the office gopher, he ain't a apprentice and will probably cry.

Hell I can do this all night.

PS. I hear welding inspectors make bank! Not physically demanding either.

 I am not proud if it, even though if feels good at the time, but I have made a few employees and the random customer service agent cry before too....
