Men act like elephants and destroy everything in the garden.They are
too stupid for such a job, working with flowers is a job for a woman.
Men can work in the mines or cut trees in the woods.

Never let a man in your garden!

Excellent points, eclectic. However, my husband does great laundry, cooking and
he's a great helper when I need him in the garden. What most or at least many
women don't get is that, they have big mouths and are domineering, hostile, even
angry at men. When their men do these things, they constantly correct the way
it's done. Nothing is ever good enough.

My husband makes the bed, I don't go remake it. Then, he will make it more
often. You see, this is a trick many women have taught to men over the years.
To completely put down the work of a man, is to make sure no man does anything
to help. I'm glad I honor my husband and his way of doing things. Not the way
I'd do it, but it's the way HE does it and it's satisfactory in my opinion.

I'll have to see if I can find it, but years ago there was a cartoon in the NY
Times. It was a caveman laying on the floor doing nothing, while the woman had
a baby on each hip and was washing dishes...the man says, Hey honey, hurry up
and invent television and beer.

(alright I can't resist)

If men acted like elephants in a garden, you'd have no garden, only a big
pile of elephant poo. Is that what happened?

This bob should keep his trap shut, I live alone, and not only do I
have a garden with some 300+ Iris, 100+ Canna, and many other plants,
I am also the owner of Akumaizer Cattery, the oldest active breeder of
Japanese Bobtails in the USA and I clean 6 litter pans every night.

And being the oldest of 4 boys, I also changed a lot of diapers of my
younger brothers.

I think Bob is a TROLL.

Bravo on your garden, etc. That's an impressive collection
of Iris and Canna! About changing diapers of younger siblings
I know whereof you speak. Personally, I would rather clean
60 litter pans rather than have to change one diaper!

I think you missed Bob's wry sense of humour on his "take"
of the previous posts. (The inference here is that he'd rather
have a cold beer served from an obliging wife than do chores
that he personally finds unpleasant, transparent excuses aside.)
If he is guilty of anything here, it's that he didn't place a smiley

I think that it's a good bet that old bob finds his home down in with
some others in the town of Killfile in the state of Delete of the
county Trashcan ;}

So Idon't see anything unless some poor 3rd party quotes the dribble
back in a message.

And right now my garden is awash in Iris blooms, with the canna just
starting to grow good.

(look for auctions on ebay for Akumaizer_3 )

This year, while in pots back here by my trailer, I've added Morning
Glory seeds I've gotten from Japan.

Oh ya, I'm out here in the High Mojave Desert too. Where the Stars
shine at night and the Sonic Booms from Edwards AFB go BOOOM in the

My funny story: A group of us had lunch at a famous Spanish restaurant in
Baltimore (Tio Pepe's, if anyone's interested). I was fascinated by an
attractive plaque on the wall, but every time I asked the waiter to
translate the Spanish he hung his head and said nothing. Finally, after I'd
pestered him enough, he succumbed and said, "Women are like fish - they
belong in the kitchen."
Huh.

I could not agree more. Women in the garden? Never, unless there's some
heavy lifting needed!
Work in the house is more than sufficient for them. I didn't even no
where the kitchen was until she prepared a plan~~ before she left me!!

I do most of the gardening and lawn/perennial care & planting annuals, but I
let my wife help as long as I can keep an eye on her.
And, since I'm retired and she still has a job, I take care of cleaning the
house, food/Sam's type shopping, laundry, home repairs, etc..
I'll do any domestic chores except for two. I don't darn socks or breast feed.

What's wrong with breast feeding? Of course men have to go through all the
additional hassle of finding suitable breast to borrow, but I think I speak
for most men when I say it's worth the extra effort. Ah, the sacrifices we

you see, that's the difference between men and women. men care about
results, women care about relationships. while we men slave over
reviewing hundreds if not thousands of breasts to select a suitable pair
(only to receive a slap "Fresh!", when we actually ask the woman to
help us out with something we really can't do ourselves), here you are
talking about equality and some such. It's a wonder we put up with women
at all!

That's not my experience in my marriage, but I can certainly see where men would
get that from. I am always amazed at women who treat their husbands like shit,
then expect them to have a "relationship" with them beyond sex.

I prefer to have a good discussion about something than to love. Love is not
all it's cracked up to be. It gets much deeper with time, but it's not the
glue. Intellect is the glue. Respect, honor and understanding. Those are
glue.

Unfortunately, most women don't get that part of it. I feel for you guys.

Don't stop there! I've got my wife convinced men are too stupid to
change the oil, change flats, rotate tires, mow the lawn, pull the

just stay out of her way and watch sports while my outcall massage
