Am I the BEST wife ever??
About three weeks ago, matcom was driving home on the scooter on rte 495, a major highway. The wind was gusting and he was very nervous. I told him I thought it was time for him to trade in the scooter and get a motorcycle. YES I DID!!
Oh, and this past November he got a new (used) truck...Me, I'm still driving the Saturn at 130,000 miles!

Now, DU I ask you...Am I not a good wife??




















:rofl: Or maybe I should have my head examined! :D

1. You're the very model
of a modern Major Mrs Matcom!

3. It's a good thing he can cook
Or you'd have no excuse to keep him.

8. Does he take out the garbage and mow the lawn too?
It's been a rough few months actually, but I'm surviving. I'm hoping for good things around the corner though. I think I'm getting fed up enough to take some action.

How about you?

11. A scooter? On 495?
Hell, the only way I'd feel safe on 495 down there is in a tank.

13. I'm sorry. My wife is the 'Wife of the Year'.
She demanded that I buy a new tractor to replace our 58 year old tractor. It is also noted that she nursed me through my cancer recovery.

16. Either a great wife or total sucker
But he's posted about his bike. And it's obvious he's excited.

So I vote for good wife.


Khash.

23. Our money...
or rather, our credit! The payments on this bike are cheaper than the payments we were making on the scooter! :)

however, you're only the second best wife ever. :P


Seriously (as obnoxious as I am), I like you guys a lot and congrats on the new bike, Matcom! :D

26. You must have nerves of steel!
When we first met my husband had a motorcycle, and I thought that was really cool. Then I fell in love with him and made him get rid of it. I'm anxious enough as it is.

27. I think you deserve a greyhound.
:hide:

Seriously, he gets all the toys. Even the remodeled kitchen was partly for him. What are you getting out of this?

he's not the most rugged thing around, but even he shouldn't be on a rice-rocket.
