Mine made a list of all the things that need to be done around the house in the next couple of weeks. One of the things on the list was to clean the garage/shop. The only reason it's dirty in the first place is because of all her failed "Pinterest" ideas.

Exact same thing happened to me, about 3 years ago, when we moved within Bismarck. Then I woke up and started working.

Juanner, where are you moving to?

About 6 blocks east, we have 3 trailers(camper, boat, utility trailer), 3 vehicles, a motorcycle, and a side by side. We are all out of room for all of our stuff.
The move is just to increase parking areas and garage space. My 2 stall garage and little extra parking pad are not cutting it.

We have an understanding. The garage is not a shit-collection site. If the wife can institute a proper way to store something, she can keep it in the garage. It's the one place that I have the last word. When I got home on Monday, I found it weird that my good ice fishing gloves were laying on top of the stainless steel roll away table she bought at a rummage sale. I deduced that she used the gloves to hold on to the steel wool to clean said table. Upon questioning, I was told that those are my old gloves that I never wear. These are the only gloves I've worn for the last three winters because they are the only glove that keeps my hands warm. They are also discontinued.

Ok guys, lets hear about those great, world changing ideas your women have come up with. Ill post a few of my Ex's best to get things started.....

She doesnt like driving at night because she cant see well in the dark so she came up with the idea of putting street lights along EVERY paved road in the state. Besides allowing her to see better at night, she felt this would save a lot of animals (specifically deer) from getting hit by cars!

One winter when the snow was piling up pretty high along the curbs in Bismarck, she came up with the idea that to solve the snow problem (it was high enough that you couldnt see over the piles on many roads), the city should:
A) Build a big building and haul all the snow into the building. The building would be heated so the snow would all melt and then it could be allowed to drain into the sewer system.
B) Dig a big hole and dump all the snow into the hole.... (no consideration given to the fact that this would turn into a lake at some point)

These still make me chuckle a bit, anyone else have some good 'women ideas' to share? (I already know about Hillary's private email server, so dont bother posting that!)


I believe your views on women and relationships may deviate from the norm as the women that would date you are likely on the lower end of the IQ scale! Food for thought most normal women are not found of backyard beehives, softner salt pickles and Mexican vanilla group buys.....:;:huh

My sacred space is my hunting room...not really a full size room, more like an oversized closet. I keep this space clean and organized, and have told her nothing of hers is to go into this room, she has every other room in the house to put her clutter. I can't count how many times I've gone into said room to find a bag of her stuff "she didn't know where to put".

Not where I'd like to be
Some great side-conversations here, but back to the original spirit of this thread:

When my wife gets in a cold car in the winter, she immediately cranks the fan as high as it will go.
I've tried explaining where the heat comes from and until the engine warms up all she's doing is blowing cold air around --- it does not compute inside her girl-brain.

- - - Updated - - -

She also has this idea that if you melt cheese it's less healthy because it's "greasier".
I've explained that the same about of grease is inside the unmelted cheese.
She's a smart person, just prone to moments of "girl-brain".

"You're just woman with a brain one-third the size of us men. It's science."

Yep my wife does the same thing with the fan and a cold car.

my reloading room is off limits and if you leave any shit that is not supposed to be in there it will be thrown away. Not really because then we would have to buy it again. I like to talk tough.....I go throw it on the kitchen table

You need to come out shoot some birds and bring some of your assistants with you in a month. The best way for a strong mind is through a strong back...haha

Sawyer,
Some of these stories sound incredibly familiar. My wife doesn't come up with too many dumb ideas, but she certainly keeps an internal score card that forgets all the things I do. I don't get credit for mowing, snow blowing etc because I enjoy it.... I don't get credit for doing the bulk of the cooking for the same reason. It's a never ending battle. I can't help it she has no hobbies.

We sold our house last week on Monday. Last night we attended a rock and roll concert in Bismarck, so mrs johnr took today off. As I said we SOLD our house, so she spent the day painting a room in the house (it needed it) so as to spiff it up. I asked her why she would spend 5 hours painting a room, and spending the money on it, when the person already purchased the house the way it was. She said she felt obligated to put fresh paint in this room since it was a bit dingy...haha
