How times have changed....

[TheBluePanda]

*time travels back to 1939* :D

[urstwile]

Oh yeah.

[budafist]

I wear raspberry nail polish. Is that bad like red nail polish?

[urstwile]

Well, since it's 2008, I wouldn't worry too much Buda. Plus you're from the future, you're supposed to be a trendsetter. :)

[budafist]

Of course :) How could I forget?

[urstwile]

Whew! Another lacquer color crisis averted. :)

[redneckrodney]

However, if you wear raspberry nail polish while sewing on buttons and darning socks, I am quite sure you will score many merit points.

[budafist]

I don't darn socks. I buy new ones. I don't even consult my "husband". How many demerit points is that?

[redneckrodney]

Not that many, since I just turn them inside out and put them on the wrong feet so the holes are in a different place tomorrow.

[frankster]

I love how they have to list suitable musical instruments, in case you thought maybe playing the armpit fart would count.

I warm my cold feet up on my husband, but I suppose that's ok as long as I'm very very gay about it.

[Riya]

Hehe, my score was 1.

[budafist]

Surely if you were a great hostess whilst entertaining with your armpit fart symphony piece that would count? I mean and armpit fart rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star might not count but what about Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Especially Winter. That piece is beautiful.

My husband-to-be always puts his cold knees behind my warm legs to warm them up. How many demerit points is that? Or are points to be awarded and taken from wifies only?

[urstwile]

Apparently the test is for both wives and husbands, as in the wives can take the test themselves, or the husbands can take the test to score their wives. Pretty fairly balanced, I'd say. :rolleyes:

[frankster]

...and designed to boost a wife's self confidence too, seeing as even if you do all the good things and none of the bad you still can't score higher than the lowest level of wifedom.

[urstwile]

I asked the Googe about it, to see if there was a hubby version, and no luck. But some were speculating the there was more to the test than just the above sample, because otherwise, you'd be right Frank. Then again, maybe that was the point. :rolleyes:

[Riya]

Maybe it's just the first page?

[urstwile]

That's what others were saying.

[Riya]

Jinx urst!

[Riya]

Gah, you are quick today.

[Red Kittie Kat]

No wonder I'm divorced ... I'm not gay, I rarely went to bed when he did and I love red nail polish :D

[urstwile]

Gah, you are quick today.
LOL, I have my moments. ;)

[MikeHun]

Man Bashing -14 demerit points ladies:D

[Broacher]

My wife used to suspect that I was very weird (after twenty-one years, she no longer suspects) because I LOVE having cold feet, limbs, whatever, pressed against my bare skin. Maybe she thought I was a necro, but I say it's because like all women, she prefers to sleep under a minimum of fifty pounds of blankets for most of the year which makes me welcome just about any source of thermal relief. Okay, maybe not a dead possum, but just about anything.

[Jackimalyn]

So its niot just me? I LOVE my giant comforter. Ive been keeping the windows open lately so I can use them all :)

[Riefnu]

So does that mean women like really BIG.... blankets? ;)




Is it bad that I think some of the merits are still good?

[Jackimalyn]

Oh, someone posted the rest of the pages on Flickr. Check it out... http://flickr.com/photos/tiabla/sets/72157605047200616/

^ 2008 update:

Never goes to bed until finished checking her e-mail first.

Always wakes up first (before sex).

[Red Kittie Kat]

reacts to with pleasure and delight to marital congress?


http://www.redkittiekat.com/p9/blink.gif What the heck does that mean?

[Mynock]

Marital Congress is where all the laws of marriage are made, duh!

[Typically]

i'd settle for meals even if they weren't on time =]

You are weird. I've never heard of someone that likes cold like that.

I don't like heavy blankets, just normal blankets. I find that if a heavy blanket takes a peep over the side of your bed, it's all over because gravity takes its toll in no time at all and you end up with no blanket.

[garricks]

http://www.redkittiekat.com/p9/blink.gif What the heck does that mean?Um, you pretend to enjoy it when he gets off, rolls over and goes to sleep without thinking of your needs.

And the next morning you don't put antifreeze in his ornage juice.

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao :D

I love the ancient thinking patterns .... anyone see Pleasantville?

I love that movie. Poor Dad has a meltdown because his dinner isn't ready and he can't function.... it throws his world off kilter. ;)

[Broacher]

The present generation of humanity will always takes great delight in pointing out the absurdity of yesterday's social values. Makes you think what our great grandkids will think of many of things which we take for granted as immutable, sacred, or taboo. And the sad fact is that it doesn't really matter where you decide to look back to--absurdity is just part of the human condition.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Oh I agree completetly with that Broacher. I can see it now ... My great grandmother used to sit in front of this box called a Television and watch her "programs" called sitcoms and soap operas.

[Craig B]

I like it when congress is in session. I'm just saying ...

[seamas]

lmao :D

On my way to work there is a highway sign for a highway that'll take you to either Pleasantville or Sleepy Hollow. I find that amusing for some reason.

[Red Kittie Kat]

that makes two of us Seamas :D

[morea]

I asked the Googe about it, to see if there was a hubby version, and no luck.

Ironic... that was the first thought that came into my mind, too.

[Riya]

uhh, there is a hubby version. It's on the flicker link.

[morea]

jess, I has since noticed that... I just found it amusing that urst and I had the same initial reaction upon seeing the thing. ;)

[garricks]

My great grandmother used to sit in front of this box called a Television and watch her "programs" called sitcoms and soap operas.My mom and grandma called them "stories."

I remember when I was sick I got to watch reruns of My Little Margie. :D

Now, one of you wimmin git in the kitchen and bake me an apple pie! ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

[garricks]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/RedKittieKat/smilies/bop.gif ................. :DOUCH! That hurtz! :D

[budafist]

Now, one of you wimmin git in the kitchen and bake me an apple pie! ;)

Sorry I don't do baking, but that's ok, my fiance prefers to say "Cook me some eggs, woman!". I can do eggs.

[tuliptree]

Mmmmm, eggs. I think you get a plus 5 for making eggs!

I took the short test you posted buda, I got a negative 7. I'm a bad wimmin.

[budafist]

I got 12. But the best possible score is 25 pts so the interpretation is a little more than harsh.

[tuliptree]

So you're a half point away from being a half good woman then?

[budafist]

Well I'm not anyone's wife so I guess it doesn't make me a half good wife. ;)

[tuliptree]

Yet . . . :D

[budafist]

Oh I see now! Yes, I'm engaged. I have a ring to prove it!

I also saw a pretty wedding dress on the way to work this morning. I didn't go into the shop or anything though. We're not planning a wedding just yet.
