Seperated/Divorced for a Year now.

[Stepside Z]

Some new lessons learned some old lessons relearned. Some of this stuff is really funny.

Well I have been seperated/divorced for a little over a year now and I took some time this weekend to think about all that has happened to me so I thought I would share some of it with you.

I will start out with Downy, I never used it befor I was married. I decided that I liked the smell and that I would keep on using it. No problem except that it comes in different flavors (not that I drink it). I did not know which one that she used so I stood there wonder which one? What would happen if I mixed different kinds? Would it stink? What is the deal with this ball thingy? With the help of the little old lady who thought I was a nice boy (actualy I think she was trying to pick me up) I learnd a couple things.  You fill the ball to the mark and if you mix different kinds it's OK. The stuff won't stink.

Don't use Dawn in the dishwasher. Man that was a mess.

Don't use Dawn in the washer machine.

The bathroom needs to be claened.

It is Ok to have money in the bank after sundown on payday.

It is Ok to drink beer.

Vacume cleaners do not have to cost $1,000 dollars to work. I bought one for $59.00 on sale and it works fine.

Vacume cleaner bags are tought to buy. I did the guy thing and wrote down the model number and I was off. Come to find out they go by styles U, AA etc.. It is definately a womens thing. I still have not figured that one out yet.

Microwaves are a guys best friend, not dogs.

House cleaning is the pits.

Armor All is no good for dusting.

Football is on TV.

The bathroom needs to be cleaned.

The phone is not part of the human body.

Living room sets do not have to be replaced every 3 years.

It is Ok to wash the truck.

Getting married does not mean you will get (well you know).

You can be single and not get (well you know).

You can look at women at the mall and not get slapped.

Nobody ask you the dreaded question, do you think this outfit makes me look fat? If you think it does then it does.

There are no more Christmas presents to US that are actually for her. How many guys got a K&N FIPK for Christmas that the card said for the both of you. It was more like a crock pot.

Did I mention that the bathroom needs to be cleaned.

Grocery shopping should be aginst the law.

These is just some of the things I have come up aginst. There sre many more.

[MountaineerTom]

LOL.  That's good John.

 

(Go clean the bathroom.    )

the bathroom doesnt need to be cleaned till things start growing or the toilet starts talking to you, but that part might come from the "its ok to drink beer"

Now those are some life lessons right there.  Wisdom, I highly suggest anyone who hasn't married yet to write these down in the event that they are thinking about it.

I'm the only person that washes my truck.  I know where are all the nooks and crannys are in it and how to get it looking just right.  No one else can take care of it the way I do, so I never let anyone else try to clean it, because it just won't be as good.

I think I will just file all that info away, and try to recall it whenever I think about getting married in the future.  Might sway my decesion a bit.   ;)

I'm w/ the Kansas Kid, the only time I've heard someone speak highly of marriage is when there's has ended.  Everyone that says anything about marriage is always advising against it.

That's not the case for me.  I love it.  Yeah, things work alittle differently sometimes, but that's the sacrifice.  You just got to find the right person.  

[pacodiablo]

it depends on the type of person you are.  i do not plan on getting married.

I married my best friend...  Yea, there are times when you even bump heads with your best friend every once in awhile, but that is human nature...

 

We've been lucky enough to have three (usually) great kids together.  Plus I don't have to "wine and dine" her everytime I want to sacrifice a little sleep...  ;)

 

If you find the right person, there is nothing wrong with marriage.  I've known my wife for about 25 years and we've been married 13 1/2.  

 

(plus the "dual" income is GREAT!!!)

The best thing about me and my gf is we have yet to fight in a year in a half.  We are both so laid back its perfect.

 

We do have our moods you know pissy mood here and there.

 

She is also probably the only person who understands my love of trucks
