For the record, I always put the seat down and close the lid. She rarely closes the lid. I hate when the dog or cat decides it's a good place for a drink.
Almost stepped on a cat turd the dog must have dropped in the hall last night. Our dog's female. My two male dogs never bothered the catbox. |

I never get in trouble about putting the seat up or down, I just go outside with the dog. Neighbors get upset sometimes but screw them. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | CS, you really are very good! You'd think we'd quit while we're only this far behind. My brother solved the seat down problem. When he built his last house, he installed a urinal in his garage/workshop bathroom. Its about the only one he ever uses. |

And just for the record, men and women have always been, and always will be different. It sure is a good thing! |

But, I am learning that she and I have a large responsibility raising our children...and that takes a lot of give and take: she and I giving and them taking...lol |

Marriage is physically good for us blokes. Married men live longer than single men. Don't tell the women, but single women live longer than married women, but the women outlive the men regardless, so they still get their revenge. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | A few questions from her to him:
If "round is a shape," why are coffins shaped like rectangles? Are you sure you want me to special order one for you?
What is the difference between plain ogling and that which requires corrective surgery?
If you are the source of the headache, which doctor would you suggest I schedule the appointment with?
Ali, you are awesome--I always look forward to your posts with great anticipation.
And I am really glad for the guys I've had the opportunity to "meet" here--I may not always agree with everything, but I appreciate you all.

And yes, October is definitely in the works. :D The "Invasion of the Jersey Girls" isn't just the potential title for a B-grade movie.... ;)
And I'm glad for all the helpful hints contained in this thread--wouldn't want to commit any social faux pas!

Location: Buffalo,NY | I have always lived by the one seemingly simple but true path to happiness: "whatever my wife says ,just do that". This has kept me married for 30 years.
Yes , I fall off the wagon on many occasions.
Yes , I often start doubting the wisdom of this universal truth.
Yes, when I get together with my friends, I talk very bravely about how I'm not going to follow this path any longer.How I will put her in her place and show her who is boss, etc , etc.
But in the end, I always come back to this simple plan, this simple truth. From it comes the harmony of the universe.
I'm sure that Confucius must have originally discovered this truth because it does appear to have universal as well as timeless application.
I try to give this advice to all newly wed guys; some listen; some don't . Many will come back years later and will tell me that they have now learned the wisdom of those words but had to travel the difficult road on their own to truly understand them. Many bear the scars and painful stories that go along with trying to waver from this enlightened path; but in the end ,peace and nirvana are only be achieved through what appears so simple a truth yet we still find so hard to follow.
Regards,
Tom |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | On the eve of my first wedding, my husband and I received some of the best advice I have ever heard. (Too bad one of us didn't follow it. :C ) It was simply this: Don't ever do anything for yourself, unless it is also good for the marriage. Don't ever do anything for your spouse unless it is also good for the marriage. Put the marriage above the individual at all times.
Now I realize that someone who has failed at marriage as many times as I have is in no position to give advice, but here it is anyway. |

I was part of a mad experiment were we "blended" families. "They" never did learn to shut a bathroom door, replace the back up TP role or shut the seat before leaving. Bless their hearts...
A long time ago I prayed to be surrounded by beautiful women.
Be careful what you ask for. :rolleyes:

it's not a totally faultless solution though. there's a challenge in waking up with a P.H.O., sitting down to p and not taking a morning dip. |
