Lets talk about the weather.

The weather is always a nice safe subject. A slightly bland or even somewhat boring topic of conversation, but definitely a safe subject. On the other hand if I was to talk about cholesterol and my husband I might venture away from safe and start frothing at the mouth and twitching.

Just a little bit, mind you.

I wrote on my about me page, that ‘The Spouse’ and I have been together for 22 years and I love him very much, he is my best friend. BUT, I do have my alibi prepared for the day that he finally pushes me over the edge.

Well that edge is a lot closer today than it has been for a while and I can’t decide whether to finish ‘his royal stubbornness’ off myself, or just give up and let him eat all the food that he likes and his heart will just go pop anyway. Death by deep fried fish seems a much simpler way to go.

Hmmm decisions, decisions.

Now back to the nice safe topic of the weather.

Wild weather lashes Tassie.

storm pending.

    How ’bout “Death by Chocolate”? I wouldn’t mind it myself. Heh heh!

    Yes, we’re very soggy over here. Very soggy. And the river is up again. (more so than before)

    Ahhh, I think I recognise that weather – it’s the front that came through here last Monday!! Did you get some nice hail with your wind and rain? Just had TWO dry days in a row but today it’s wet – again! As it has been for the past umpteen weeks. I am now at the point where I really don’t care about the farmers or the damn dams I just want some warm sunshine, please . . . pretty please?

    Re the spouse, just pretend he’s a wingeing toddler, ie no treats for those who don’t eat their mains!

    Are the new teeth settling down ok now?

    Isn’t that just the way? You don’t want to make all these things that aren’t good for him, but you don’t want to be a controlling shrew, either.

    So… until he makes the decision to eat healthy, you’re either going to be the nag or the enabler. That’s fun!! I go through stuff that is similar in my family, too. :]

    That sure is wild weather. You can come visit me in the US if “the spouse” drives you too crazy.

    There is always room in my vegie patch for one more body, with a ready alibi 😉
    Tell him to picture the kids and grandkids burying him and how selfish he’s being to them, if slapping him with a wet fish doesn’t work.

    Yeah, mine is likely to go from sausage rolls, chips and dim sims, if he ever forgets his medication, his doctor put him on something to lower his cholesterol. And his blood pressure. Maybe the smoking will get him first. Or maybe I could nudge him under a truck the next time he refuses his broccoli. Wait. What am I saying? This is your rant, not mine. Sorry. Where were we? Oh yes, nice weather we’re having, rainy nights and dryish days, even a bit of sun. Lovely.

    As if you didn’t have enough to put up with already! The last thing you need is a stubborn spouse.

    Use an icicle (sp?) – it melts thus making it the perfect weapon!

    Men… damned if you do, damned if don’t.

    LOL! The only time there is calm and order in my home is when Mr Hyphen isn’t here. It’s sad, actually.

    We had snow 2 weeks ago on the last day of summer. I can’t wait to see what WINTER holds for us.
