Ralph,your girl could use a hat or scarf, her ears looked cold to me.

Get her some competition

I would like to, however, the WW has vetoed another dog. I am working on her though.

My dog came outside with me. Entered the coop/shed and looked around found a few great looking poopsicles to munch on and left when I did. She ran around behind the coop, I am sure she was checking on Ccoyotes, and Raccoons. I went into another shed to see if I could find something, I did not find it.....She was on the steps barking and whining for me to give up my search and let her in..

She has no useful purpose that I can discern. She seems to be liked by the WW. Maybe she (the dog) is good at broom riding (we know the WW is), who knows?

I want a new washer and dryer. The guys at the hardware store said it is against “bro code” to tell me how to break it. My husband can fix anything, so a bag of cement will be too obvious.

 

[duluthralphie]

Wow... a real question for once..


First off wanting a new washer is extravagant and selfish...

I am sure your husband has real needs that should come first. A new boat, another gun, maybe just a new rod and reel...but real needs...


Now if you are serious about denying him the true needs for your selfish desires, I suggest heavy doses of salt water bleach and vinegar squirted into the windings of the motor. Let sit for a few days between each of the items...


Also metal filings into everything you can find. If it has a computer hook up wires to things that should not have wires hooked to them and plug them in to a circuit with a penny in place of a fuse..

With luck you could even get a whole new home.

Do not admit to any of this when questioned by police, fire marshal or your hubby....

With hubby, keep apologizing for this happening while mentioning you know you did nothing wrong...but tell him how bad you feel about not being able to afford that new boat, etc now...

We have went 9 months without anyone needing relationship advice...

I am willing to tackle harder questions..

Feel free to write anything no matter how personal and painful it is.

If you don’t want people to see your name and remain anonymous just start the question with the words ... I want to remain anonymous because this is ————
Embarrassing— personal—- or spitefully evil... or whatever the reason is..

No one else will read beyond that point and secrecy is maintained..

Well, guys don't like to ask for help, so they just don't. The women all suspect you'll take their husbands' side...

 

[duluthralphie]

Oh no.. you can trust me to be fair and unbiased...

I always look at the issues from both sides.. it’s not my fault the guys are right more often than the less fair sex..

Dear Ralphie,
My husband and I are celebrating our 37th anniversary today. In honor of this day, we are going to Menard’s to buy lumber to build a smoker, to smoke the salmon we caught this summer when he dragged me up to Alaska. Do you think this is an appropriate way to spend our evening? (The nearest Menard’s is 1 1/2 hours away, so we will also have quality time while driving.)
