If only he would listen to me

Danalana wrote: Two weeks ago, my husband and his parents plowed a whole bunch of land at our house and planted a butt-load of stuff. I said, "what about the last frost?" (we always have another frost in April--we call in blackberry winter). He said, "Oh, I don't think we will have one". Several times, I brought it up, and everytime he assured me that it wouldn't happen. Tonight he came by my work and we were talking. He says "It might frost". I wanted to smack him so bad right then. I'm like, "Hmmmmmm, it seems like somebody mentioned that--REPEATEDLY!" my husband is a good man, so I'm not downing him....but sometimes he just does NOT listen to me. heck, we grew up here! everybody knows there will be a frost in April. So, it might be frosting somewhere between Thursday and Sunday For his sake and physical well-being, i hope it doesn't frost.

Twelve Volt Man replied: You must understand, we men are not capable of hearing women's advice. Often, you people are right, and it hurts us. We, however, will never admit that. If/when the frost hits, and the crop is lost, I recommend being sensitive to your husband. Ease his pain by making him his favorite dinner, and having lots of beer on hand.

Danalana replied: Oooooooh, there will be no pain-easing on my end. I already told him that.
And why can't men heed the advice of their wives?

MoonMama replied: Go figure hun. *points and laughs at your DH*

Danalana replied: Yes. And, if the frost comes, you can point and laugh as I beat him down

I deffinalty would not be using greatness as a word to describe men......

Twelve Volt Man replied:
LOL!

Twelve Volt Man replied:
No kidding. If we could only bottle our knowledge and sell it, we'd be worth billions. In the meantime, we must dispense it here, for free.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
you boys

Danalana replied: Yes, my husband is just FULL of knowledge. (/sarcasm)
It wouldn't even matter to me if I hadn't mentioned the frost several times
Now he's talking about saving all the crops with NEWSPAPER It's kinda pathetic, really.

you know...I am sure that is what Benjamin Franklin's wife said when he was outside with that kite. Greatness is stumbled upon in that way so maybe he is onto something with the newspaper and it will be a multi-million dollar idea...won't you have egg on your face then

Danalana replied: Oh yeah....I'll just wait for that egg.
last night, I told him that we might have to plant everything again...and by "we", I mean "you" Shoot, we've got a lot of stuff planted...radishes, turnip greens, tomatoes (48 tomato plants ), cucumbers, 3 kinds of peppers, okra, squash, watermelons, strawberries, and cantaloupes...and then there are my flowers. I only planted them because he kept insisting that it wouldn't frost and that we should go ahead and do it. Hey, the mammoth sunflowers are already above the ground now!
