different advice

I feel like I have been getting and not giving on this site. So, finally I have had an experience that might help some of you guys. Girls; don't read this thread. It has advice for the males of the species.
Yesterday was my 3rd anniversary. After being single for almost 20 years, I have really been out of touch with handeling a woman. After almost 5 years of dating and being married, I learned that for presents, you don't never give them anything they need. I bought $50 worth of stuff that would insult me if somebody gave it to me at Hall Mark. I combined that with $60 worth of flowers delivered to her office so everyone could see her recieve them. Man I am a hero this morning. She kept me up half the night.
Now that this is handeled, I need to get back to figuring out them crappie!!

Boy oh boy did you hit the nail on the head. That's all I'll say because I'm already in trouble enough for agreeing with you.

It is really nice to see some variety on this Arkansas board....it's ok to talk about that stuff for me, for now that is....my sentence has not yet been ordered by the court, so I am unsure when I'll be forced to tie the know, just keep fishing is all I tell myself.

HAHAHA!! Congrats DP!

Women are very interesting people. Example:
I got myself a 1998 model wife and she insisted I sell my boat (17' F&F). She left me so I went out and found me a new 2000 model wife and she insisted I buy a new boat (16' War Eagle Mossy Oak Break Up for crappie fishing AND duck hunting) . Life is SO much better the second go-around! :D

Crappie are whole lot easier to figure out than women - IMHO. :)

During the spring, I can usually figure out those big slab females in a couple of trips. I've been working on the woman for much longer.:D

Shadow; maybe you should take some lessons from DRPepper. Wrap a pretty ribbon around it, squirt a little perfume on it, and then TEACH HER HOW TO USE THE THING HERSELF!!! :eek: :D It don't get any more romantic than that!!

You could name your boat after her. That should give her a warm-fuzzy, right? ;)

Well, if that's all you're going to do, you might as well not even make the effort. Know wonder you gents have women problems when you only do such small token things for them that don't mean anything. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Heck, that's borderline on abuse. What in the world could you have been thinking? LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!

Now barn dog seems to be a "glass half empty" kind of guy. Talk about thinking outside the box!

Well, didn't ole Brad Pasley say, "I'm gonna miss her..." Heck, there's not a man on this board who can say they like crappie fishing more than me. I quit my job and moved 3.5 hours away from home (leaving the wife there) to guide and fish every day. She knows where I'm at and if she wants to be here she will. Otherwise, I'm on the water. Life's all about choices and I've made mine. All any woman, wife or not, that wants to be with me has to do is get in the boat and they better hurry up about it because I'm not waiting too long.

Interesting you mentioned this. It sure gets expensive though. Before we got married, my wife went fishing with me more than she does now. I couldn't get her to act right with the rear anchor and felt sorry for her. With all of the gift cards we recieved as wedding presents I was able to get her an anchor winch that I operate from the front of the boat. She took another card and added about $200 with it to buy some phoo phoo for the house.
Last year I used a gift card someone gave us as an anniversury gift to buy a cordless drill hammer. I was thinking about all of the projects we could do around the house with it. I wasn't being selfish. She had to buy a $2500 dining room set (because I used her card for the drill). This is the most wasted area in a house that I can think of. I look forward to the two or three times a year we finally get to use this 300 sq ft and the thousands of $$$ furnishing it.
For me, I don't win buying her stuff to make her life easier. It cost me more than I make.

My X kept threating with that song ,I think. Something about if you go fishing one more time. My new woman says go fishing and hunting all I want and to send X's boy friend a thank you card for taking her off my hands ! Ha! Ha! Ha!:cool:
