Never discuss the morning news

[Nwbie]

So, this morning I am relaxing at the kitchen counter, anticipating the kids waking up soon and destroying my treasured morning quiet time. With the TV playing quietly, I watch the morning news waiting for the weather report. As my wife walks into the kitchen after taking her morning shower, on the TV the reporter is discussing the latest report from the health department. The reporter says that the findings say that women need to exercise at least an hour a day to maintain their current weight, and if they are trying to lose weight they would need to drastically reduce their calorie intake and exercise more than an hour daily...if not...they will continue to slowly gain weight...

Now I ask you....
Do you think it was a bad idea to blurt out without thinking....You're screwed....

By the look I received from her... I'm thinking it will be a long time before she says to me...  you've been screwed...

lol

Yep you are done my friend! If you EVER want to see her holy of holies then I suggest you call your favorite jeweler friend and have many somethings made just for her. Also many random acts of kindness like flowers unexpectedly...not today or even the next 7 days mind you...but soon and see if she would like to have lunch with you...several things and don't do anything else for a while....otherwise you may never get to see or touch it again.

At least you didn't make the same mistake I did.  I told my wife that there is a good possibility she'll become a celebrity within the next ten years

she'll be flying in the Macys thanksgiving day Parade.  I lost what the russians did about twenty some years ago when a sub sank in the north sea

............I lost-a-nookie.

........... and then the fight started.....

  I've learned not to say anything more than "can I make you some coffee" and "how did you sleep"...anything like that remains a fleeting private thought. 

[Flipperk]

I would prepare your own meals from now on.

I think I see diamonds in Mrs. Nwbies near future...

I survived honest answers to all the usual questions over the years, but my personal topper was the answer to "What would you do if I died?"  I answered "Bury you"
She has learned not to ask those questions..........
