Come on Z-man! Put the damn sink under the window and only go to 2 DEs this year. See! You're under budget.

Unless you're the one doing most of the dishes, move the sink to the window. Give till it hurts, baby.

Guess what happens when the dish washer isn't working in my house?

I tend to think of women as a hobbie, sometimes an expensive hobbie, but a hobbie never the less. And like most other hobbies you shouldn't take it too seriously, and shouldn't be hesitant about making changes, upgrades or deletions.

Just tell her the Mens rules!


We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Blah, blah,
blah....

Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Listen up!

Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put
it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us
complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the
tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it
that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In
fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect
us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the
ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it
yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the
hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer
you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.
Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster
trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like
camping.

Andrew: are you really 16? 'Cause you speak yourself like an old pro at the gal game...

...or you're a perpetual bachelor, since your rules require the utmost of a perfect world, i.e. a Stepford Wife.

Not bad! Though I wish that girl would get out of the way.

So we'll keep the sink on the inside wall, but she'll get wood panels for the fridge. (For some of you, this paragraph makes sense: for others, you're probably just scratching your head!!)

I've said too much: sorry for rambling...
-Z-man.
Okay now I'm going OT on the OT...
Z-man,
I worked in construction for about ten years and have remodeled two of my houses plus several remodel jobs on my dads house and our local church.
Put the sink under the window! There is a reason most kitchens are built that way, it just plain looks better and it provides ventilation plus a view while you are working at the sink.

Just my $.02

P.S. and any wife that allows you to spend so much time and money on your car is worth going over budget.
