    I know my dad would need:

    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Just hold on one second, ladies!, Claes my dear fellow, might I applaude you on honesty and sharing your feelings(somewhat rough around the edges, but great work )
    Mrs Claes should look at this as constructive comunication and as an incentive to pave the way for the future, should cook you a steak dinner(medium rare, with a red wine sauce)

    Someone get this man a cigar!

    Grovelling? I don't know how to do that. It's hard to be humble when you are a briliant beacon of perfection but I am an accomplished growler. Does that count?

    Can I have the chocolate If I stay in the doghouse? About the grovelling: See my previous response, above.

    Arrrgh! No, anything but that. I would settle for nice wine, as already suggested.

    Hey, Claes, whichever place you get to sleep, do keep your comp with you, and share your grief with us....

    Gosh, I hope so. A sharp thong is just ...criminal. Claes, if you decide on the second class, I may send my guy with you.... (and no, I shouldn't have to change it myself! )

    - Ah, yes… How am I going to find things if you keep moving them around? I know where I put them. It’s just that they don’t stay there…
    My wife would want me to take several of those classes, but this number seven she would she would pull me by the ear and force me to attend.

    I'm going to assume that most of the guys posting here are much older than me.....so perhaps you do need the lists....but dont worry in a few years you can blame it on the senility as opposed to being lazy or tired..or blaming them for doing stuff that they feel needs to be done....sorry to say that most of your list doesn't apply to me right now...but perhaps in a few years I'll need to take a refresher course or something....

    awesome...one of my cowrokers got a similar list from his wife, and posted a similar response, It was too funny!

    but indeed...why is it always the men that need to change, I mean, how hard is it to check the status of such things as tp, toilet seats, and whether or not the windshield washer fluid in the car is full...its not like automotive responsibilities automatically default to me...er, the men.

    Er... I have to admit that I didn't actually get the list from the missus (But I could have ). I just found it and decided to stir up some commotion here

    thats not so...just because sometimes we have a lapse in judgement, doesn't mean we are wrong...we just aproach problems differently...like using gasoline to start a fire...or better still alchohol spray to start a fire (its an older product from the days of carberator vehicles...meant to give the vehicle a helping hand when starting)
