Dear Ralphie's Relationship advice............

[duluthralphie]

Nope. I bought my hub a compressor with a nail gun for Christmas. I really am the one that wanted it though. I have wanted one for a few years now and he never asks for it. So this time I just bought it along with what he did ask for lol. We have a lot of power tools that I probably use as much or more then him. I do my own remodeling too, to a point. I love tiling and painting, building.

For the record, air tools are antiques. I suggest the Dewalt 20v Max line of power tools. They are faster, better and easier to use than the air tools.

I have a shop loaded with DeWalt 20v Max that keep magically appearing. My wife has started to notice them. but each one she notices is "something I have had for ages".

I plan to sell all my air tool and electric (120v) tools and buy more DeWalt 20v max or fishing equipment.

Please ask a serious question, laughing at others questions is non-productive and just not very nice......

I have generously donated my time to helping others, the least you can do is not laugh at them.......

Advice like I give is not cheap if they were forced to go to a relationship counselor. I believe I can even take the time I spent helping these poor souls as a donation off my income taxes.....that's how good I am at this!

Dear Ralphie,

Our single nearby neighbor was complaining to anyone that would listen to him about my rooster crowing. He never said anything to us, but he griped about the noise to a lot of other people (we all work for the same company). To keep the peace, we sent our rooster packing.

Now whenever I run into this neighbor, he always comments on how much he misses the sound of our rooster waking him up in the morning.

How would you respond to such a complete schizo?

Signed,
Perplexed & Disgusted

any chance Mrs.Ralphie would start a thread for women with romance problems? Women have so much insight and so sensitive and caring about other women, I think she would be best.

Plus which some "problems," are less embarrasing to discuss with another woman.

I need to think about this one...my first thought is to take him shark fishing. But I have been told that is not the way to handle this things.... so..

The next time he makes this comment, agree with him and tell him you really miss the rooster crow to and how that is such a mainstay of rural Amercan life...

If he nods his head or agrees at all reassure him you have a line on a new rooster and should have it shortly.

To be honest, I'd rather take him shark fishing. But since "Ralphie says", I'll consider your second bit of advice.

Thanks!

Nothing cures a problem as much as a good shark fishing trip.. unless it is a good alligator fishing trip.

I am so sorry, but she is forbidden to read BYC... it is one of the reasons we can stay together...

good idea.. best to invest and save it....for more 20v batteries in a couple of years.

Definitely. best to have a witness for when he swings back the other way
