I see what you did there.

Gay?

Wife and I met as engineers at the same company, and we made within dollars of each other when we got married. As such we've always had an egalitarian relationship. When we had kids I was the breadwinner while she stayed home with them. When I later needed a job she was able to get one and help us keep going. Now I'm either going to be on disability or retired (which is why we are selling our house), and my wife will be the primary earner again. Basically we have been partners in life, so I guess that is what she has given me.

My girlfriend (of 9 years) helps me keep my life ordered. And she is a completely different personality than I am. I'm more carefree, she's more structured. It's a great mix for the both of us. I help her relax the burden her asian parents put on her life that she carries with her from her upbringing, and she is more no nonsense and that opens my eyes at times.

Serious answer: She promotes my masculinity and doesn't try to belittle me.

Unrelated post but in the same vein. My grandparents on my mothers side were farmers in eastern North Carolina. 50 acres about an hour and 15 minutes drive east from Raleigh, NC but in the sticks (for now) as the sprawl is going that way. We would go there with all my cousins and hunt and fish and shoot basketball on dirt courts, it was a great childhood. So they had 5 kids, my mother being one of them so it was divided to 10 Acres after their death and I have one brother. You get the picture. I have thought about selling my house in this crazy market, taking all the profits and buying out all my cousins. I'd then be broke, maybe put a Trailer on the property until the housing boom busts then build a bad azz house with all that acreage. It just seems so crazy to me, so much of a gamble, but man........I'm 45 years old and if not now, when?

Looks like the Gingerbread Man dropped a load on her face.

I am hoping this entire pandemic thing really highlights the corruption that our university system uses to extort money from families.....and not suitably educate our kids..... Just another fraud perpetuated on the American people. And honestly, look at the chaff these universities are putting out, the despicable things they think and believe! Even the military is now doing this pronoun bullsh!t. Sickening. But back to football.....I think that Tyreek Hill pick was something of a reach and I think we all deserve and explanation!

We compliment each other's strengths/weaknesses pretty well. Wife - keeps a clean house, cooks when she has time, does the morning school routine, takes care of gardening, does all the medical/dental stuff for the kids and dogs Me - run the finances, handle most of the online stuff (register kids for sports, school registrations/communications, schedule vacations, etc.), take care of all the house maintenance My wife's works extremely hard. She rarely sits down and relaxes. She doesn't have to work, but does so because she enjoys it and likes to get out/be productive. Most of the women she works with sit on their phones or gossip when there's down time. My wife is the one cleaning, checking stock and helping others who are behind. I'm a GC member, so my wife is perfect.

She's smarter than me. Shes very good at listening to my stressful events and breaking them down for me..which helps me tremendously when it comes to de-stressing. She takes care of the entire house. That's new since she was laid off due to Covid, but I'm good with it. Laundry, cooking, cleaning. All with her. Shes a better negotiator than I am as well.

Been married 22 years.. My wife is amazingly caring which counters my cynical get off my lawn side. She is better with organization than me. Im the breadwinner but she handles the budget. We like a lot of the same things. We have had struggles but always pull through. We are stronger together.

Sailing is tonight my man.....hopefully the weather holds out. I am a little distracted, my daughter received an appointment to the Naval Academy and we have rather long list of things to do between now and I-day on the 30th so every day is a frenzy now

Why no response after a requested link was provided? Rude.

Honor, sure. Obey, pass. If I wanted obedience, I'd get a dog. A wife is supposed to call you on your bullsh!t when you're wrong.

She does pretty much all the cleaning, mostly because the mess bothers her long before I even notice it. She cooks every day or two. I really don't care if she does or not, but that's nice. Obviously she does the secks stuff. Pretty much upon request, although fairly vanilla about it, and I don't request often honestly. Other than that, not at all really. We keep completely separate finances and divide all expenses right down the middle, so money isn't really a thing in our marriage. She wants something she buys it, and vice versa. On gift giving occasions she complains that I spend too much on her, that's about the extent of it. We're pretty much hermits these days. We rarely go out, and other than our coworkers who live on our floor, we have no local friends. From an emotional side, she backs me the fock down when I'm ready to go to war over stupid sh!t, as I'm a bit of a hothead. Conversely, she tends to be a bit of a doormat (most fillipinas are) so when war needs to be waged, I do it. Shes good cop, I'm the heavy. I find our jobs. I negotiate our contracts. I plan our trips. Anything anything needs to be written in English, I do it, as it is obviously not her first language. It's very different from relationships I've had before. We never fight really. She, growing up dirt poor (I'm talking 10 kids in a literal hut made out of sheet metal with not enough food poor, didn't have shoes poor) has been used to being treated poorly. The jobs she had before were outright slavery. I don't let anyone push her around. Conversely, she really appreciates the things we get to do and the things she gets to buy far more than women I'm used to do. I figure she'll get sick of my sh!t eventually though.

Divorced, but I can tell you it helps to not be a focking shrew. Basically, what Drizzay said.

You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill. But I still wouldn’t trade it for a Coupe DeVille.

You got more info than the president of Guatemala? Were you there? He was. Guatemala’s prez blames Biden for border crisis Giammattei said in a CBS News interview that aired Sunday that the Biden administration is to blame for sparking the migration crisis. The Guatemalan president said he and Harris “are not on the same side of the coin” on migration. “We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said. When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/06/07/guatemala-protesters-tell-kamala-harris-trump-won/amp/

That’s all they have. They’re ashamed.

Unfortunately it’s impossible. Once you know there’s a format and a title we all want to win, it’s human nature to make some decisions based on that info. I agree with Vikes, I don’t think it hurts the value of the mock though

I'd have picked that one without the Beatles. I saw Crosby and Nash about ten or twelve years ago (no stills or young) in a small room and they were awesome.

I was so oblivious to gay sh*t as a teen. They were just some weirdos congregated in San Francisco playacting at being man-wh0res or something. I was in the Army and a song came on the radio in the Motor Pool and I was like "This is a cool song, I haven't heard it in a while." And everyone was like, "This song is focking gay." The song was 'YMCA.' How many times had I watched the video with the dancing cop and fireman and not seen gay in it? I was so tuned out of that world existing. Boy George kind of beat it into my head that something was up with him because of his wardobe, but if it wasn't over the top like that, I didn't pick up on it. Anyway, that was a rather embarassing day. Still a good song though

Do you honestly think I fail to recognize other investment opportunities at my disposal? I've posted in this thread and other investment threads where I have money stored (stocks, bonds, gold, hell I even have 529 plans for all my children). And what I said is absolutely true. I've only invested what I can afford to lose. I've been lucky enough to invest in the greatest investment opportunity in a very long time and better yet I invested at the right time. So yes I've "lost" 100s of thousands and not a single thing has changed for me. You've asked me before and I've told you I wanted life-changing wealth. I want to move up another rung of the ladder. I have a very nice upper-middle-class life and I want to take the next step. I believe crypto will get me there. Maybe it all goes to zero and you can have a good laugh, but I will still be living this upper-middle-class life. I'll just have to order the medium size jacuzzi.

For all the crypto haters. I know you're loving what's happening right now. As for me and my crypto... I'M NOT FOCKING LEAVING!!! THE SHOW GOES ON!!!!

What a generation. When you look at them and you look at what we have today, it just breaks your heart to see how worthless we are becoming.
