Kids, meals, shopping, all his area. I work and i write. He's pretty awesome that way.Jaime Sammshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756034484406953047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-14949084624836834232012-10-13T18:09:07.522-07:002012-10-13T18:09:07.522-07:00Hm...

He will give me the keys rather than have <i>me</i> tell him how to drive. :D I am learning to keep my mouth shut if I don't want to drive. It's taken 12 years. LOL Why so long? I am a compulsive control freak? Honestly, I don't know, except that it does drive me nuts how he tailgates, follows whatever the car in front of him does when he could move over and <i>pass</i> it, and... see what I mean? LOL<br /><br />He is the one who doesn't like spiders, so I save them. However, he is on cockroach duty. I think I got lucky on that.<br /><br />He is very, very handy around the house. Other than calling the plumber when we need the drain snaked, he takes care of pretty much everything else. He can even do electric. Oh, and he's a computer expert. Aren't I lucky! (I mean this sincerely.)<br /><br />I do not think he has ever handled a gun, so, yeah, I am more than likely a better shot. LOL I don't hunt, but I know how to load, aim, and shoot. When you have a 12 gauge, that's all you need to know. (g)<br /><br />Hubby is Type B; I am Type A. It is why our relationship works. LOL<br /><br />Happy Anniversary!<br /><br />MarciMarci Baunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850775917897362922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-68833331330910141222012-10-13T11:24:47.963-07:002012-10-13T11:24:47.963-07:00Lol I know how to use the tools, he's just ter...Lol I know how to use the tools, he's just territorial about them and would rather build the bookcase for me, than watch me touch them. He does a better job, so when I'm tired of waiting, I fire them up and he comes running.

Thankfully my hubs is very patient and answers every question i have. I was also lucky enough to have a contractor for a father so I have my own set of tools, can snake the toilet, know how to use all power tools in garage without guidance. It's the car stuff I always question! <br /><br />Happy Anniversary to you and your man! I wish you many, many more wonderfully awesome years together.KaceyHammellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793728732105753765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-70416628226434970322012-10-13T09:14:45.167-07:002012-10-13T09:14:45.167-07:00And how do you get him to go to the Doctor, Faith?...And how do you get him to go to the Doctor, Faith? LOL<br /><br />Yes, leave them alone with a tool saleman, or some other thing like four wheelers, snow mobiles or smokers and you're asking for trouble. But sometimes I think we like to secretly enable them, because when their happy, were happy. <br /><br />See, I knew I wasn't the only woman out there who's had her pink tools swiped. <br /><br />He always thinks he's right. I argued with him about something that happened when I was a kid and he didn't know me, he still refuses to acknowledge he's wrong. Stubborn man. I now just shrug and walk away. No sense in arguing and it drives him crazy when I do it.

Because it doesn't matter that he already had several. He claims I'm an enabler because I don't stop him. What can I say, I like him to be happy. And you've all seen the pics of his tasty work on FB! He can quit anytime...really!Kate Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266895320753860578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-72210004904370022302012-10-13T07:05:32.448-07:002012-10-13T07:05:32.448-07:00I have one of those rare men who brings me flowers...I have one of those rare men who brings me flowers, cooks me supper, and has me in his arms the moment he sees one hint of a tear. However...<br /><br />He can not mow grass unless he has a six pack. No six pack. No mowing.<br /><br />He thinks because a doctor tells him that he doesn't get enough salt in his diet means we all don't, so I have resigned myself to drinking a gallon of water after he has cooked a meal for us.<br /><br />And he is never wrong. Never. However, when I prove him wrong 95% of the time, he swears he never disagreed with me. Therefore, he's never wrong.Faith Bicknellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978240749619858463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-56612625918518564402012-10-13T05:42:30.792-07:002012-10-13T05:42:30.792-07:00I had my own tools, all pink.

I can relate to many of these things. What does my hubby do to show me he loves me? He cleans the bathroom, which he knows I hate doing. Or he makes supper or breakfast when he's home that early. And sometimes he brings home a special present for me, but it's never flowers. LOL<br /><br />Oh, and I have my own toolbox, but he takes my tools and leaves them all over the place. If I do that to his, look out!<br /><br />Happy Anniversary!!!Jessica E.
