BigLenny Posted October 22, 2012 #1 Posted October 22, 2012 While we were laying in bed in the dark this morning, it was that moment of silence before the busy week begins. My lovely wife rolled over and cuddled up to me and said, why don't we both call in and clear our schedules and ride the bike north through the Ozarks and grab a bite at Lamberts Cafe? I thought about her seductive offer and.....turned it down due to a couple of client projects I had scheduled at work. AM I ON THE EDGE OF CRAZY????? After 30 years of marriage I'm turning down riding the bike???? Is this a sign of things to come with old age? Am I gonna start turning down other key things she offers??? I'm worried about myself.
billmac Posted October 22, 2012 #2 Posted October 22, 2012 She was willing to give up somthing to spend the day riding with you and you missed the boat. Next time when you wish for her to give up something and she turns you down just don't feel bad about it. She may just go with other people next time while you go to work.
etcswjoe Posted October 22, 2012 #3 Posted October 22, 2012 I bet those throwed rolls and some sorghum would have hit the spot.
Venturous Randy Posted October 22, 2012 #4 Posted October 22, 2012 Sure did sound like a good time to maybe..........negotiate some other things while she was trying to talk you into this. You may have been able to get her to wash your bike also. RandyA
eusa1 Posted October 22, 2012 #5 Posted October 22, 2012 Tell her to hold on for a little while!! We will be over to pick her up!
Yamamike Posted October 22, 2012 #6 Posted October 22, 2012 "AM I ON THE EDGE OF CRAZY?????" Dude...I think you've gone waaaaay over the edge into the abyss.
Flyinfool Posted October 22, 2012 #7 Posted October 22, 2012 I sure hope I never get that old........
Naked Rider Posted October 22, 2012 #8 Posted October 22, 2012 man you have got some serious issues that you need to take care of:rotf::rotf:
pmelah Posted October 22, 2012 #9 Posted October 22, 2012 uh i think we need to start a fund for Biglenny to send him to a quack i mean psychiatric doc just sayin we need to rescue him before he gets to far to fix
BigLenny Posted October 22, 2012 Author #10 Posted October 22, 2012 I'm sitting in my office in a total coma that I did what I did this morning. For 30 years I have made it a good practice to accept all offers from her. I don't even feel like a real man right now. LOL.

Isn't that what the doc would say the first step is?
Flyinfool Posted October 22, 2012 #13 Posted October 22, 2012 Okay, I've admitted I have a problem. Isn't that what the doc would say the first step is? And the second step is to leave work right now and go take that woman for the ride she deserves.
SilvrT Posted October 22, 2012 #14 Posted October 22, 2012 Look at it this way .... at least your wife suggests "things" to you in the morning (while you're both laying in bed ... which is the BEST time BTW) ..... mine sleeps!
DragonRider Posted October 22, 2012 #15 Posted October 22, 2012 Anytime my wife suggests something like that, cant remember her ever doing it, I would jump at the chance before she changes her mind......... I think you blew it big time...........:bang head:.
Mike G in SC Posted October 22, 2012 #16 Posted October 22, 2012 In the words of Lewis Grizzard: Brother, I don't think I would have told that one!
BigLenny Posted October 22, 2012 Author #17 Posted October 22, 2012 In the words of Lewis Grizzard: Brother, I don't think I would have told that one! Thats funny!
BigLenny Posted October 22, 2012 Author #18 Posted October 22, 2012 We ride the bike quite frequently. As a matter of fact, we just got back from a 2 week 4000 miler a few weeks back. However, when she asked me like she did this morning.......well.........DANG IT, I'M STUPID!!! I'm not ready to turn in my man card yet. I will recover!!!!
BigLenny Posted October 22, 2012 Author #19 Posted October 22, 2012 Tell her to hold on for a little while!! We will be over to pick her up! Thanks for your kind support, Mike. LOL.
mbrood Posted October 22, 2012 #20 Posted October 22, 2012 Sometimes I wake up grumpy. Other times I let her sleep in.
Sleeperhawk Posted October 22, 2012 #21 Posted October 22, 2012 Well, you really blew it, and I not talking about a bike ride. There was definitely more to that request, which one of two things; You really don't know your wife after all these years or that 4000 miles wore you out and are no good for anything else but walking. :whistling:
PBJ Posted October 23, 2012 #22 Posted October 23, 2012 Remember we work so that we can have the time to ride and enjoy our families. if it was me, i'd have taken her up on her offer. in spades!
CaptainJoe Posted October 23, 2012 #23 Posted October 23, 2012 Unless my job securtiy depended on it....I'd have taken her up on it.... Note: Depending on the circumstances at home... if I felt it were warrented.. the work is going to come in a distant last every time... So I guess it all depends on the circumstances. Hey we alll screw up occasionally.... Take her out to diner.. after all, she is the most important person in your life, not, your clients.
N3FOL Posted October 23, 2012 #24 Posted October 23, 2012 I will climb mountains to make anything possible for my wife. Re-scheduling clients is not a bad idea. Just make up a very good excuse for them next time. Must keep the wife happy all the time.
saddlebum Posted October 23, 2012 #25 Posted October 23, 2012 I am sure you have seen the e-mails floating around titled And They Live Among us. Well in answer to your question:backinmyday: Buddie you are a candidate:bang head:
