How to be a wife..

[baltimoron]

Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.

I am sure that if they had translated this book into Hebrew, nobody would buy it. My mother doing all of the above?! AS IF.

I used to think that nothing could beat Scandinavia for the quality of women, until I went to Jerusalem..

They are extreemly beautiful, they are sweet and loyal, and they know how to fire automatic weapons, (which is strangely exciting)

Geez now those 50s women had the right idea! I guess it was all downhill from then on... wonder what a 50s sex manual would have advised?? lol

I guess you would like my grandmother. She fought with the haganah before the creation in armoured busses, also sneaking into enemy forces (Arabic is her second language, Hebrew is her third) for informattion, and she has also fought in every war since creation of the state. She can still assemble an uzi faster than you can tie your shoes. She's 81 now, still swims in the ocean every day, runs back home, parachutes, and barks orders at the soldiers on free time. Actually, she is coming here soon.... but she's not very happy about it, since "It's too cold there!!!! I am going to freeze, and it's going to be on YOUR soul, I will haunt you! You will never be warm again!" I would reccomend trying to get as far away as possible. Needless to say, she's quite a character.

Sheesh - to be a woman is to be all you can be without having to worry about the expectations of some coddled guys of the 50s. A real man would want a real woman: Beautiful, smart, and athletic.A she-woman who would only be interested in a guy who would try his darndest to match her qualities and live up to her expectations. I guess this is an old thread, but I haven't been to SB for a while so I'm trying to catch up. From my experience, there are not a lot of guys out there who have what it takes, but it probably has a lot to do with their upbringing of the 50s.

I know it's a different era but I always related more to Joe on Facts of Life than the girlie girls of years gone by.


Better? Different. Just because a woman isn't waiting at the front door in a dress, heels and a ribon in the hair doesn't mean that she has any less to give.... I have also been known to make a beautiful candle lit meal too... To me true marriage is all about the partnership not who does what.

For one of the few times in my MOTORMOUTH life I am utterly speechless!!
