Furys are cool, but they always end up looking like a Fairlane.

You know...........at the machine tool show a few years back a dealer was giving away little note books labeled "everything men know about women"
It was blank inside.

I gave up trying to figure out women many........many............(did I say many?) years ago. I have found the proper response in most situations is "yes dear". The other situation is, "no it does not make you look fat".

Those two should cover about 99% of the things you need to know dealing with women.

I learned that on the last g/f, kicked her to the curb. And people wonder why Ive been single for 5 years. Untill I got papers, and she has a job making as much (or more) money as me, she will have NO sayso.

I would really like to give you some helpfull advice about dealing with difficult females, but I have never had these problems.

It's even been said that I am a lucky SOB to have the one I have.

Girlfriends won't tell you how to spend your money. They'll just ridicule you mercilessly about how you spend it! Very Happy

I'm fortunate that finances are seperate. As long as each contributes equally to the partnership, we roll fine!

My wife and I pretty much agree on everything money. I take care of all the bills and savings, and she is a thrifty shopper. There is never a big decision that we don't make together. Although since my wife trusts me, and I have a broader view of our finances, she tends to go with me if I say it's okay. That attitude of trust has been built up from positive experiences with my past decisions.

To be honest, her issue with my Dart is not about money. It was more about the time I spend working on it. When you're doing a ground up resto, it takes a lot of time and effort, and I suppose she just got jealous of that.

The time thing is always an issue. At least my wife understands how happy I am after i work on it so she doesn't put up a fight when I say I have things to do to it.

Mine is cool about coin she's an FC and is outstanding with coin,
I feel fortunate, even so we both have our own financial setups and slush
funds to piss away like the kids Inheritance, college funds... and a
mutual for the daily junk and that has worked out great.
LOL...After a jillion years of marriage, she practically hands me the polish!
Here ya go...have a beer too...ahhh OK.
Works here!
