Top ten reasons why a dog is better than a woman:
10. A dog's parents will never visit you.
9. A dog loves you when you leave your clothes on the floor.
8. A dog limits its time in the bathroom to a quick drink.
7. A dog never expects you to telephone.
6. A dog will not get mad at you if you forget its birthday.
5. A dog does not care about the previous dogs in your life.
4. A dog does not get mad at you if you pet another dog.
3. A dog never expects flowers on Valentine's Day.
2. The later you are, the happier a dog is to see you.
1. A dog does not shop.
Not to mention that my dog LOVES to go for a drive, anytime, anywhere in any crappy ol' LBC or lesser vehicle....

Been there done that {more N once too!}
Wised up considerably this year. About mid summer I overheard her {my wife} talking to one of her friends about beauty salons and which ones out of the many here in town they liked best.
It was then I had this brilliant idea {At least I hope so} I scurried down to the agreed upon by the women`s favorite salon and promptly purchased a gift certificate good for several visits.
It was rather painless { Not like standing in line at Nordstrom or Z.C.M.I. or having to tell some strange lady "well she is about this big" and so on.
Another trick I learned is I`ll go shopping with her, {not so painless} I watch, she will pick stuff up look it over and put it back, If I like it, I go back later and purchase it for her.
so this year for xmas I can hardly wait! I`m ready!

Pretty good, Kerry...
...unless she takes the beauty shop certificate thing as your way of hinting that she needs a little "work"... :wink:

Hmmm, I never quite thought of it that way Mickey. Hope she doesn`t either.
Another thing i`m doing is I have given each of her many friends some small gift to put under their Xmas tree. To Her from Santa! When WE go around to see what everyone got from Santa she will get a gift at each house. {I always include the receipts in the gifts just in case she wants to return any, I`m sure she will know who Santa is}.
And as far as she knows I have bought her NOTHING! *SMILE*
Yep ... her Xmas may start out to be the usual bummer ..... But hopefully it won`t end that way.
Otherwise .... the dog may have to mover over once again!

Female reactions to our best Male intentions
This is for real; it is not a joke.
Years ago when we were early in our marriage, I'd compliment my wife's looks. "Gee you look really good today sweetheart!"
She'd get mad and say, "Oh! You mean I was ugly yesterday?!!"
I'd stand there in shock and confusion.
She'd go on, "I was the same person yesterday but you didn't say I looked good, so you are telling me I was ugly yesterday!"
I fell into that trap twice more and never again told her she looked good. It wasn't worth the arguement she'd start.
That was just the beginning of many more of her strange female thoughts.

Look for me in the doghouse after Christmas. My choice of some of gifts for this Christmas will probably land me there:
1. Crockpot (doesn't have one and loves crockpot cooking).
2. Wii Fit (obvious reason)
and the coup de' gras...
3. A USB wireless N adaptor so her laptop will hold an internet connection.
Woof, Woof, Woof....

Re: Female reactions to our best Male intentions
Neither of my wives (ex or permanent) reacted to compliments that way. Saying your hair looks great today should not cause a battle, just a sincere thank you if your said it sincerely. I guess I am lucky not to have that problem.

2 things I'm giving Jerri....a new coffee maker for 1 cup at a time since she's really the only one that drinks coffee at home & a personal electric blanket that plugs into computer outlet of my truck or a cigar lighter outlet so she can use it while traveling.
