In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played: it doesn't do any good to complain about the rules.

The secret to a happy marriage!

I swear Vince you've got a short memory, we've been all through this before!! The point system is set up for rewarding. The reward is at the woman's discretion, the reward is not remotely related to beer, snacks, (eating in general) TV, football, baseball, basketball, alright sports in general, hiking, voting democrat, gardening, painting, horseshoes, darts, flying, driving, swimming, surfing (sorry Bondi and Malibu), electrical maintenance, oil changing, getting a ladder and hip high rubber boots, woodworking, welding, tire changing, (I thought that was one word) re-setting the VCR, dog walking, saving the planet, cat sitting, (who wants to sit on a cat anyway) computer surfing, getting some aid for Haiti (they have enough aids) stamp collecting, shoe polishing, well I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on, but as a woman and as always, I'm never long-winded or overstating my objectives, I'm just getting to the facts at hand and laying it on the line, as I know people round here don't like reading so much rhetoric that has nothing to do with the subject and believe me I'll always honor that with the greatest respect for a person's time and interest. Funny I was reading a book the other day from a guy that has a web site, the book is called Mentallly Incontinent it's pretty funny, his web address is HERE...where was I............oh yeah the reward.....for gettin points...well.... we'll be nice silly!

I love the way you soliloquise Suz...it is magnificent, and as usual straight to the point and pertinent...not to mention a bombastic display of eloquence.

You are totally correct when you say the point system is set up for rewarding and at the woman's discretion...even rewarding our indiscretions on occasion, albeit with silence or ignoring our existence (which some would claim to be a reward of sorts).

I will continue to do as I'm told by She Who Must Be Obeyed, lest I find myself being handed my butt in a sling.

Cheers, Vince

I got a +2...(?) What do I get?

HA ha;I'm up by 1000 points by my estimation......................just got rid of my controller yesterday!.....................never feed a stray,they will follow you home and not want to leave!

- 4570 !!

I learned long ago that it its possible to sum up the way to keep a woman happy in two words...

YOU CAN'T!

Pumpkinslinger, now that's just not fair. You can't stop trying.

Bushy!! you made the bed twice! Good fer you! Or was it that you maid the bed twice? Well either case you should get a reward. Maybe you should be able to wash the dishes or some other nice reward.

Slim, I didn't say I stopped trying, just that it is impossible.
