  1. Yeah, mines a tightwad too. Unfortunately, that's probably part of the reason she didn't spend money to get it fixed. She learned the hard way.
  2. I looked and it's just one but I didn't remember if it had little diamond-oids around it that could have fell out too. And I'm taking it to the jeweler. Even though she's frugal, I can see them talking her into adding more to it because it's an anniversary that ends in a zero.
  3. Guess that demon wasn't as tough as she thought she was.
  4. A couple of years ago my wife told me the setting on her wedding ring was loose and ask me to tighten the prongs holding the diamond in place. I did but told her to take it to a jeweler to get it properly fixed. After a couple of months I asked her if she got it fixed. "No I haven't had time but I will". I asked the same question every few months and received the same response. I finally just quit asking. Last Saturday she came up to me and said "Don't be mad but the diamond fell out of my ring and I lost it". I didn't get mad and just laughed. I didn't even have to say "I told you so". Now guess who gets to buy new diamonds for our 40th?
  5. To be fair, all this started when I jokingly made a off the cuff comment about anarchy and leaving the house in a mess with the kids while a wife left town for a trip with her friend. Strictly as a passive/aggressive power move. I got called out for being kind of a jerk for suggesting it. I simply stated that sometimes being a jerk was the only way to get a point across to a clueless woman. Then gave examples of why I was a jerk a couple of times to get a point across. It digressed from there. Maybe just a cathartic side trip. Very much in the same manner that the Sugarbaby thread went from how to deal with 19 yo SB's to discussing cancer patients and air inflated wieners. But we can still all agree that our wives do stupid shit
  6. And to be fair, she did offer to cancel her trip and go but I was so pissed I told her not to worry about it, I already had it handled.
  7. She stood with me when I tried to self destruct and drink myself to death when my dad died two weeks after we got married. Overall, the good things far outweigh the bad. And she has seen the light and changed. Just as I have. 40+ years as I said earlier. And I'd still die/kill to protect her. She was an old ex-girlfriend who I set him up with!
  8. LOL. I forgot where I was. I never claimed to be a smart man.
  9. OK, one of the bigger ones. Ten years ago, test showed I might have cancer and I scheduled an MRI and biopsy, 3 moths in advance. This required two days in Dallas and I was not able to drive myself after the procedures. She decided that it was more important to go to a Women of Faith conference with her friends and leave me hanging. She said they would pray for me. I didn't want to reschedule, because cancer. She was clueless why I was mad for her screwing with my MRI AND CANCER BIOPSY. I ended up having to call a friend and his wife drove me to the procedures over a two day period. She didn't even call to see how it went because the conference went all day. She's done similar shit over a surgery I had (wouldn't take the day off to drive me) and didn't even check on me until it ran 3 hours late. And there was a time when I had a 3 day hospital stay, fighting an infection after another biopsy gone wrong. She was out of town the first day but the second day she was "too tired" to stop by the hospital on her way home. And I could literally look out my window and watch her drive by on the freeway when she passed. And did I mention the 7 months with no sex episode?
  10. She has called me "Mr Turd in a punchbowl" and " he who will cut off his nose to spite his face". But see my explanation to nnm. I'm not an asshole but I can go zero to full asshole if pushed enough.
  11. For a healthy marriage, you are 100% spot on. We've been married 40 years. She knows I will die/kill for her and my family. I remember every time she cried because of something I did and I never did it again. But she has not always been perfect either and was genuinely clueless and defensive when I pointed out hurtful stuff that she did wrong. I'll save examples for Wives and the Stupid stuff they do thread. I have done stuff to get my point across not because I'm an asshole but because I got tired of being dumped and she wouldn't listen. Perimenopause and menopause were HELL in my house. And I do like sexy time. But around the 10th year in our marriage, she cut me dry off for 7 months. She would not tell me why and I'm not sure she really knew either, she was just angry and not in the mood. ALL THE TIME. At least now she will listen when I have complaints and we work through them.
  12. Take the weekend off too. Let the kids eat/do what they want. Leave their crap all over the place and dishes in the sink. If she's like my wife it will drive her crazy and it will make her question future trips. But my advice may need a warning label: Passive/aggressive marriage advice is my specialty but it may not work in all situations.
  13. My wife taught elementary for 20 years. She couldn't discipline or even touch a student. She had a 3rd grader who would get up in class, knock things off other kids desk and walk on the tables. All she could do was say "please set down". She would call the office and it would take 10-15 minutes for the assigned "discipline" person to arrive, while the student behaved this way. Then they would take him to the office, give him candy to calm him down and send him back. The real problem are spineless administrators and bullying parents. Teachers are forbidden to film the kids acting up so parents continually harass districts with threats because "my child wouldn't act that way. It's the teachers fault." Then the teacher gets written up. So by the time they get to high school they think they are bullet proof and to some extent they are.
  14. Yeah but I hear all kinds of stories about guys just like the one you know. Rooms/houses full of guns. The guy I took my ccl class from lived in an old double wide and had several more on his property. I think he had 8 gun safes on his property and probably had several hundred thousand $$$ in guns. He probably had some buried too. He carried 3 guns on his person at all times, even while he was in his house. And he had at least 5 rifles in his vehicle. He definitely liked guns.
  15. I knew a guy who had well over 1000 firearms. He had so many, he bricked in a 40' container and put a safe door on the front. Years ago when AR prices went nuts I ask him about selling some of his. He said he had at least 28 of them. When I told him if he sold them he could clear $70K he told me he was going to wait until they were outlawed and sell them before the ban went into effect because they would be worth more. For someone so gun smart, he was a dumbass. And I think the gun hoarding scenario is more common than most people think. I know a few people who have a LOT of guns and like you said, most people keep it quiet for security purposes.
  16. It could be argued that this woman had more influence on Rock and Roll as much as any musician in history but most people don't even know who she is. And the R&R HOF didn't even acknowledge her existence until 2017. Bunch of dumbasses.......
  17. And to save everyone a trip to Atlanta, it's all fake and appears to be an OF page. https://mandynews.com/fact-checking-new-glow-baptist-church/
  18. But wait...........There's more! https://www.ghpage.com/baptist-church-no-dress-code-advertise-seductively-dressed-women/265582/
  19. It takes a lot of power to knock someone this big out, man or woman. If you really want to take them down, stomp on their instep/toes. One good foot stomp and they aren't going anywhere. Especially if they're wearing flip flops.
  20. The Google's is trying to keep Texags down! Except when it's not. Delusion at it's finest. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3358895/1
  21. Pretty sure it was somewhere around the spot of or just east of the convention center.

    Lol! Free T is at 6.6. I suspected that might be it. My Dr is pretty conservative and I just want to have the right conversation with him. Thanks

    Since we seem to lay it all out here..........Anyone have problems with Testosterone? In my 60's and have a lot of the symptoms of low T. But I had it tested and I was way on the upper end of my age group, close to 800. But LH & FSH were high and free T was at the very bottom of the chart. I'm waiting for a consultation with my doc. Looking on Google just brings up a lot of dubious site and sales ads. I did try Google Scholar, which limits your searches to medical research papers. Tons of legitimate information from doctors and research facilities but most of it's in the form of medical files and doesn't translate to us non medical types very well.

    FYI I have several family members that work in insurance. A lot of the hearing aid suppliers pad the bill/scam people into overpaying for them. A lot of hearing aids are covered but fees related to them might not. They tell me of $2400 "fitting fees" which are basically "we'll help you pick one" fees that are not covered by insurance and you're stuck paying it.
