Went online and I found Connie's Xmas presents.....

That's a beautiful clothesline. Connie is a lucky woman.

[raylawpc]

I'm getting one of these for Linda:



We will have very happy wives this Christmas!

[raylawpc]

Frank . . . . I hope you don't plan on giving her all three.
Remember, you are spoiling her enough by surprising her with such a beautiful clothesline. (Page 181-"Kept Man Manuel")

I disagree Rick. Connie made 80 tacos for Frank and the guys to enjoy while watching the fight. That falls under the "80 tacos exception." (See "Section 2.03(e): Exception for 80 Tacos" in the chapter on "Christmas Gifts to Wives" in the "Kept Man Manual.")

Tom . . . I see Linda is getting one that rotates. I don't want Monica to see this, too many moving parts.
Things that move require service, and I'm not a qualified repairman.
Things were simple in Brazil, a static clothesline like the one Frank posted will have to do in my case.

I won't argue with an officer of the court (retired).
You are probably right, such special treatment merits the new clothes pins Frank is so generously providing.
However, between you & I, Frank had 80 taco shells, and ten remained after all was said and done.
Since there were only 70 tacos, Connie doesn't actually qualify for the "Section 2.03(e): Exception for 80 Tacos".
However, I commend Frank for his unselfish gesture of love, and giving Connie the exception anyway.

What more could a woman want?

Rick, Tom is going to spoil Linda with that fancy clothesline, he'll never be able to get into the "The Kept Men's Club" doing that, have to school Tom about how to go about it, he is going to ruin things for us if our wives see that fancy clothesline, Connie is going to start demanding one:
"If you are going to buy me a clothesline I want one like Linda's".....

Manny Pacquiao Leaves Antonio Margarito With Broken Orbital Bone, Needing Facial Surgery
by Mike Cole


Manny Pacquiao beat Antonio Margarito on Saturday night and he beat him badly.

He beat him so badly, in fact, that Margarito will be forced to undergo facial surgery to repair a fractured orbital bone in his face, according to ESPN.com

Margarito's face was cut open during the fight and was incredibly swollen by the end of the 12th round, but the Mexican fighter did finish the fight before losing a unanimous decision to Pacquiao.

"The was no way I was going to quit," Margarito said. "I'm a Mexican, we fight until the end."

If Margarito were in the other corner, though, on Saturday night, he might not have been allowed to finish.

"I was surprised how tough he was," said Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach. "He has the worst corner. They probably ruined his career by not stopping the fight."

Pacquiao also shared concern for Margarito during the fight.

"I told the referee, 'Look at his eyes, look at his cuts,'" he said. "I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."

My thoughts exactly. I recall those state-of-the-art clothes lines from the early 60's.
They gave the impression of space age technology with the cool hand crank, rotating head, and folding arms.
They can position the clothing to the position of the sun. What happens when the handle loosens and then slides off the crank?
They expect us to fix it. I'm not Handy Andy, and it violates the "Kept Man Code" (Check "Mechanical Violation Section").
We've got to talk with Tom. This could be big trouble.
Can you imagine if Linda were to meet Connie & Monica at a Hall of Fame event.
All three will no doubt pull out photos of their beloved clothes lines. Monica and Linda will be pissed, think we're cheap.

You're right about the handles loosening, and I too am not handy with tools, and I'm to cheap to hire a handy man, so Connie would have to fix it herself, she better think twice before she starts demanding a fancy clothesline.....

The rule says nothing about eating all the tacos, only making them.

But still, even if within the rule, I do agree that Frank must be commented for his unselfishness devotion to Connie and her needs. Whatta guy! An example to us all!

Tell Connie there is no room in our backyard for that beautiful clothesline you are buying for her. The other style is the only one that will fit in our yard. For what its worth, Linda is very envious of the washboards, which she will not be getting. We have a creek that runs across the street from our house, and she will just have to be happy with the stones she is currently using. I had to draw the line somewhere!

Frank bought 80 taco shells.
But only 70 tacos were made, leaving ten empty shells.
The code says 80 tacos, not 70 tacos and ten taco shells.
Frank had a loop-hole, but did the right thing.

If that's the case, then you are right. Connie does not fit within the exception. Yet selfless Frank buys clothes pins anyway. And not just plain wooden clothes pins, but fancy blue plastic ones! I hope Connie realizes what a lucky woman she is!

Frank's the kind of guy who likes nice wheels on his cars, and custom clothes pins on the line.
Style is as style does.

Your talk of getting new clotheslines for your wives have touched my heart.

My wife Roseann has spent the day using an sledge hammer to break up large type rock boulders in the corner of our yard into smaller more manageable rocks for her to dispose of. We discussed an idea to build a small shed to keep my tools in so that they do not get rusty anymore. She spent much time in removing rust off the tools with sand paper and re-oiling them in the past.

I realized the noise she was making was interfering with the sound reception of the Jets game today and sent her into town to price out the necessary lumber for the new shed to be built. Monday is another day.

Tacos sound good. I instructed her to bring home the necessary ingredients.

When i first came on this site I was prepared to increase my knowledge of boxing what I was not prepared for was the education I would receive on how to treat a lady, I feel humble before you guys & now realise how badly I have been treating my Lady Kath & have resolved to make a start by purchasing a garden hose so that she will no longer have to carry the watering cans" Which she tells me are very heavy" the 120yds of our garden, I just hope she will appreciate this substantial outlay on my part

That's great Tellboy. These little gifts are daily reminders that we love and appreciate them.
I'm thinking of surprising Monica with a new broom & mop this week? A broom is a gift that just keeps on giving.

[CNorkusJr]

We are all well into the spirit of Christmas giving early this year.

This Thanksgiving, I actually invited Roseann, my wife, to attend the Jets game with me that evening. The look of surprise on her face was so overwhelming that she started tearing up. I actually had to make the phone call to her relatives stating that we will be not making it to their annual feast. Instead she nodded her head when I said we can have turkey sandwiches in the pre-game tailgate party. GO JETS !

Didn't buy "taco shells", Connie makes her own with the corn tortillas....

You guys have inspired me and I am suddenly ashamed of myself. Next Spring I'm having the blades to the push mower sharpened so Jeri won't have to struggle so much. I wouldn't want her to think I was less of a loving husband than you guys.

[CNorkusJr]

It is several minutes now since I told Rosie, that she will be going to the Jets game on Thanksgiving. She is so excited. She continues to yell and scream her appreciation so much that our neighbors are sharing our joy.
It is nice to see her so excited. I haven't seen her so excited since I bought her a larger bucket to hold soapy water in when she washes our cars.

Oops, poor thing, she just went into our bedroom to lie down. She is sobbing so much with glee that hopefully she will fall asleep and dream about Mark Sanchez and his wonderful 1-minute drill down the field to end games.

Randy-your push lawnmower idea sounds very appealing. I bought her one back in 1984 and thought that the blades would stay sharp for many years.
Maybe it needs sharpening by now. I will have to check on that.

Does the joys of life not continue to grow !

[telboy66]

Guys these girls just don't realise what a bunch of 100% guys they have hooked onto,as I keep telling Kath where would they be without us
