      I think my first lesson occurred when I was still in grade school, they are from time to time simply crazy and there's no sense whatsoever in trying to understand that. About the best you can do is try to deal with it, which is sort of it's own insanity.

      I don't understand most art, but like women, I just give up and enjoy looking at it.

      Now, when it comes to my shop... well I only had a problem there once, when she decided that she'd help me out and organize things. It took me weeks to fix that and I think I'm still missing some things.

      However, I paid her back when a few weeks later I decided to put some logic to the kitchen.

      Did I mention that we've had separate sleeping arrangements since then?

        I've been married for 32 years and we still haven't tried to shoot each other.

        I find that the secrets to living so long are the following:

        1. Selective deafness

        2. Always saying "Yes Dear", no matter what the question was

        3. Spending as much time in the shop or at the pistol range as possible, and

        4. Never teach her how to shoot a .45 or a 12 gauge.

        And if anyone tells on me, I'll deny it.

          NEVER follow the number two advice.

          Why wasn't this thread directed to someone like Mrs Walnut?

            I have been bad and haven't been checking the forum on a regular basis. But to answer the question stated about. I have no clue how to understand women.

            But I do know how to use the shop and leave everything in the place where I found it while in the shop. And I stay out of there as much as I can because I realize that it is Blackwallnuts domain.

              I will always remember what James Stewarts character said in the movie Shanandoah. A young confederate officer was asking for permission to court his daughter and James Stewart said "son, there's only two ways to handle women and nobody knows what they are" I have found that to be accurate. I've been married 31 years and we finish each others sentences and can communicate volumes with just a look but sometimes I still don't understand her thought processes. On the other hand she reads my mind like a book 80% of the time. As for the other 20% when she can't I am very grateful.

                I do not have any idea how to explain women, but I know for a fact that if you buy a woman an Ipad she will become so tangled up swiping, dragging, attaching and all that other computer speak that she will go to her corner and leave you alone.

                  You hit it right on the head.
                  My wife got an iPhone a while ago, and I now feel that I'm living alone, or on vacation.
                  Talk about stress relief, I think she has said only ten words to me (about fixing stuff) in the last two weeks.
                  I truly think you hit on something us guys have been looking for for years.

                      I never had a problem.

                      When I was trying to woodwork, mine actually said "I think the dust in the air is making the cats puke in the basement--WHy don't you go get one of those dust collector things"

                      Also actually likes it when I bought a tool. It meant I was spending money on myself, which I never do/did.

                      Now there's no reason to buy or dust to make anyone sick...

                        Could it be true that new tools make less dust?
