I’m often asked how Lo, she is a terrible Goddess and I have survived for well over 45 years as a couple. I usually manage a shrug. As the TG was in a benign mood yesterday I asked her what she thought.
“It’s simple – you have to learn to enjoy being irritated.” (Interesting. You actually heard the word enjoy did you? Lo,TG Ed)
There followed a very full and detailed explanation that lasted several hours.

I’m really glad I asked.

hehehe you are obviously a good listener DP (or at least good at feigning attentiveness…)
I would NEVER feign attentiveness!!!! My directional deafness does hinder my education occasionally but of course that’s a medical condition so nothing can be done about it ….. if my mother was alive I’d get a note from her obviously ………
Sooo, you think that’s clever do you, Somnam. Must have a quiet word with Sparkly…
Tee hee ….. you’re in trouble now!!!! – and you can’t bail out on Thursday either …….
I’m not sure I can make it. I’ve sprained my spleen…
That’s OK, the TG can help with that ……..
Only several hours? There you have the secret to your 45 years DP…
Glad to have helped.
I shall have to draw Somnam’s attention to your wise words, Fracas. He obviously in need of a refresher course and there may just be an opportunity soon for me to provide one.
That is several hours on a daily basis of course Fracas …. including weekends ….. OH!!! … hello dearest, I’m just singing your praises to Fraccy ….. I’ll stop now …….
I f a man speaks his mind in a forest with no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong ? (I’m always very quiet in forests….)
You already know the answer to that don’t you GW …..
If a man speaks his mind in a forest with no woman around to hear him – he’s doing a great service to womankind. Most unusual.
I like to help…..
I see no mention of toilet seats?? Were you amazingly trained very quickly..
Congrats you two…..it must take some resolve …. TG you deserve a medal and DP take a quick nap…
I didn’t want to lower the tone ……. either …… tee hee pee.
There is a previous post that deals with this. It’s practically impossible – I finally realised that the secret is to place the flush button BEHIND the lifted seat. Of course this may mean major re-plumbing work; you just have to decide if it’s worth it.
After thought – maybe the major re-plumbing could be carried out on the relevant peabrain…
If you had a fault my angel it would be funnel vision …….
That’s one of your best “matches” daddyp
Is it!!!!?! ….. gosh …… the others must be dreadful ….. oh, I see!!!! …. a clever play on words that nearly escaped me …… nothing new there then …
I got a good laugh out of this post, the matches, and all the comments today.
I have nothing to add. Except that Robert L. Heinlein was correct in his book “Time Enough for Love” when he had Lazarus Long say that women demonstrating for the right to be equal to men was women taking a step down, or words to that effect. My mother, a radical feminist, could not understand my position on the subject.
Oh good I like to hear some tittering …. and I’ve not actually heard that particular quote before but I do agree with the sentiment …… goddesses are far superior to peabrains as I’ve spent my life trying to prove ……
I am in the process of writing a book “I Am Man: Here Me Snore” that details the distinct differences between man an woman. I have done this with the hope of educating both parties on the fact that neither party will succeed in educating the other. I shall be hiring you as a consultant, DP. Assuming, of course, that you’d be willing to work for gingernuts and an occasional pint of Guinness.
Obviously I posted this without running it past MY TG to edit it… I meant to say “I Am Man: HEAR Me Snore.”
The grammatical content on my first post is utter rubbish. Did I say I was writing a book? (**Hangs head and hides, in shame, behind the sofa**)
Before I started giggling I was going to say something witty ….. what was it I wonder? ….. oh yes!!! …… Ooooo, a pay rise!!!!
I’m now thinking that perhaps your tome should be called “I Am Man: Where’s My Life Editor?”
