For the record, I almost always accompany my wife when she shops. I have a good sense of what she wants and can usually find it faster than she can. Thankfully, she trusts my judgment.

What I get a kick out of here in the boonies are the many times I see men sitting outside stores on benches while their wives are inside shopping. Even funnier are the many men I see at the grocery stores sitting in their pick-em-ups in the parking lot while their wives are inside buying the fixins for their meals. They don't even help them unload the carts into the trucks.

I propose we have our own forum on which we can beat our chests, drag our knuckles, grunt unintelligibly, guzzle adult beverages, scratch, chew and spit, pass gas and snore with abandon as we wallow in yesteryear's fashions.

Did I miss anything?

What say you?
I see this forum is full of women nagging, I can hear that without my computer. Actually that's why I never wear the hearing aids the VA issued me

When women speak it's "nagging." When men speak it is "profound wisdom."

In your own mind, I don't know how we could have a forum without this

I have no idea what you're talking about . . .

Speaking of "irony deficiency" - I think you have a case.

In my book, a real woman is someone who pays attention to her husband, knows his likes and dislikes, understands what he considers important, and always tries her best to support his dreams.
Yes, I do. He does not go into any of the stores on your list, but I do know where to head when we are in Lowes, Home Depot, Staples, paint stores, Levi's, Timberland, North Face, 66° North, etc. And I do know where to find what he likes online and order them for him without his knowledge. In effect, I have selected every item of his clothing, from socks to ski jackets, from flip flops to hiking boots.

I also know what he would select from the menu of every Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Japanese, German, Spanish, Hungary, Cajun, Creole, Gullah, and American restaurant we have visited/will visit, from appetizers to desserts.

And yes, I have supported his dreams, the same way he did mine.

And, I hope that isn't the best of what the male species has to offer.
