Anybody else have a spouse like this?

Ummm... not downplaying the lightning strike. But I think this particular problem has to do with testosterone eating the brain cells that deal with short term memory. (Think we could get billions of $$$s in grant money to study that possibility?) My DH has the same problem much of the time!

Lets get this campaign started!!!

We'll get rich and our hubbys won't even remember why...

Forget remembering WHY... I want mine to forget that we ARE rich... and forget what I spend the money on as well! That would be "further research" and guarantee a continuation on the grant... wouldn't it?
Mwhahahahaha!

First off... regarding the post of someone that thought we were disrepecting the men in our lives...
I cannot speak for anyone else here, but I assure you that I am too outspoken, and my DH has too good of a sense of humor, for me NOT to pick on him in person... and he usually STARTS it if he does something hairbrained. Just as I am quite confortable in admitting when I am the one that was silly. I think the fact that we CAN do this to each other is a sure sign that we know we are loved and respected... not the opposite. If you do something really dumb and hope nobody will notice, it means you are insecure and worried that someone will think less of you. Being able to laugh at yourself and invite others to do the same is a great show of confidence, as is humility. JMHO.

OK... silly story of the day:

I am a caffeine junky. BIG TIME. The kind that gets headaches without their coffee.

My DH likes to please me by taking me out to grab a cup of coffee at the minimarket 4 miles up the road (they have the bestest assortment of a good 10 different kinds of flavored creamers and decent cappachino!).

While he is outside making a phone call (we live so far out in BFE that we do not even get cell phone reception without climbing a tree!)... I make a nice big cup of coffee. I take a sip... and realize that it is room temperature.

He comes in to get himself a cup and I warn him that the coffee seams to be cold and the burners must be off.

He puts a pot dirrectly in the palm of each hand... right underneath the actual pot.

He walks up to the counter and says, "Um... the coffee seams to be off... are you planning to make more?"

The girl replies, "Oh... I suppose we could... is it cold?"

He just looks at her... with a pot in each palm. She looks at him. She starts laughing, realizing that that was probably a silly question!

Oh my DH knows when and why i pick on him. Just today 6am the phone rings, with some work issue. So DH sends two privates over. I ask him "so what day is your dentist appointment "
he : today
me: no. i mean what date?
he: the 28th
me: You know thats TOMORROW, you genius.
he nahh, swichtes on the news...and all sudden a underwear clad man is running through the hallway,down the stairs and jumps into his uniform. Good thing it was early and the shades were down. There is no need for anyone to see DH in the semi nude espec across from church.
SO if it wasnt for me double checking we would have driven all the way to the dentist just to discover that he was a day early. And this man has like three planners and a netbook he carries around.

Yes what she said... If you don't have a strong enough relationship to be messing with each other in this way then you need more work in your relationship. Ours is built on God, love, trust, disagreements/debates, and a whole lot of laughter.

He will also tell you never to stand close to him during a bad storm... As a person that is struck once has a higher risk of being struck again.
I definitely move away from him if we are outside when a storm comes.

I'm sorry to have offended anyone. The written word is sometimes confusing on the internet. I see nothing wrong with teasing each other at all.

That is exactly how it is with me and one of my best friends. She is pretty familiar with stuff going on in politics, but she is beyond pathetic when it comes pop culture, current events, etc. Last June, I called her a couple days after MJ died, and she had never even heard of him until I told her that he died! Boy, that conversation was fun. She is sheltered from that kind of stuff, so it is fun trying to explain it to her, the sad part is that she is almost an adult!

I just called the hubby at work, technically he gets off at 3, and asked him to bring home a gallon of milk. $5.00 says he forgets. I'll be giggling at him all night.

Yes, I think it's a good think. It's made me and DH much closer... If you can't fun around with the one you love, then what kind of relationship would that be?
JMHO
