The rant is, I'm losing my hair. I'm guessing a thyroid-related thing; dunno. On the wierd, or upside, I've lost most of the gray, and the rest is turning red again.....

I had a rant last week about a man on another forum but I couldn't find this thead when I needed it. So I put it on another thread, then I deleted it. We managed to solve our difference so of course, now I know where this thread is, LOL

Ouch john ... That breaks my heart!! Wendy, just to ease your pain, I'm kinda like the fox in Aesop's fable of the fox and the grapes. You know the one where the fox sez the grapes were sour and he didn't really want them any way when he couldn't reach them. Sometimes I wonder if me and the fox aren't both lying to ourselves.

No details needed or wanted but it feels good just to have the rant out.

I gotta rant about this-and ask-have others experienced this? Some mornings I cook breakfast (SOME mornings) and my "other" gladly eats it. But when I don't feel like cooking-or I don't want breakfast-he's " oh, well, I won't eat either". ?My EX did the same thing! What is wrong with you! Just because someone doesn't put it in front of you you won't eat? Or God forbid-cook it yourself! Or maybe, cook for me? ?? I could just spit!

What?! No one else can relate to this??! Sounds like dh used to be; major sulking if I didn't cook, and heaven forbid he should cook for both of us. Luckily, he seems to have 'outgrown' that, and I sure hope yours does too, catgrass. ;D If it's any help, now he is the one that does a lot of the cooking, and it's because he enjoys it, not that he has to.

I can relate to this ! Hubs does cook SOMETIMES, but and heres my rant , when he gets done cooking my kitchen looks like 4 tornadoes came thru one from each point on the compass, had a cat fight and left in a foul mood. Now no kidding guess who gets to clean up cause after all he did the cooking. Now do he clean after I cook ---noooooo thats my job. Not very long ago he used 8 knives to make spaggetti--- 8 knives how does one use 8 knives ? Especially when we canned up sauce last year with all the onions and garlic etc in it. All he had to do was cook the thin noodles. scramble the hamburger and sausage and open a jar!!! Oh yeah he did slice the french bread for garlic toast and slice some tomatoes and such for the salad.

Lol I did and do 100% of the cooking at my house. Even before the best half died on me. I got home from work she had laid out what ever she wanted for dinner I cooked it. I like to cook hate to do dishes lol so she took care of that part. Worked like a charm for us.

W8-same here-IF we go anywhere. He'll go to the grocery store and buy LOADS of stuff to cook-We should just call his refrigeratior the "rotter"-cause he buys BIG portions of meat to "divide up and put in the freezer"-But, we don't live together, and if I'm not there-it doesn't happen-It doesn't get cooked, doesn't get divided, and the dog loves it!

Worked like a charm for us. when my oldest son was home, he got off work a couple hours before his wife so he got home and did the cooking he would have it done by the time she was home . she sure appreciated it . actually most the time I enjoy Jims cooking and don't really mind the mess but those days when I am tired from doing outside stuff is when the mess really bothers me.

Mines not home very often, he's a trucker. When he's home he's got lots to do (catch up on TV shows he's missed/cut the lawn/look for tools he's misplaced , etc) so he doesn't spend his time cooking or cleaning. Although he did ask me last month how to run the washing machine so he could do laundry while I was out at a gardening event. That was much appreciated.

He still can't operate the washer.............. ;D Amazing, isn't it, how many things you learn to fix yourself out of sheer necessity.

I was never afraid of learning to fix things. Actually, I'm often better at it than he is, but Shhhhh, don't say that too loud, I don't want to hurt his feelings.

LOL Wendy, My Dad was a quiet soft spoken man --- never heard him speak an ill word of anyone, you knew if he didn't like someone by what he did not say. The one time I heard him cuss was when he was working on the chicken pen roof ---storm was coming, wind blowing terribly hard--typical wind for New Mexico--- ya know when ya have to tie down the cinder blocks or fetch em from the neighbors after the wind stops .
Any way Dad and oldest brother were up on the pen roof , Mom was cutting some of the tar paper that goes under the shingles , he ahd told her twice to cut it extra long a couple feet longer than the roof measured. Mom being an extremely frugal person believed an inch on either side was more than enough . So she cut that one and passed it up to them they was fighting the wind trying to get it down , and just as he finally had his side lined up and took a swing at the nail wind blew a limb and hit his arm and he wacked his fingers again for the umteenth time ---- he let out a stream of cuss words--many I had never heard spoken out loud and threw that hammer way out in the desert .
We had to go hunt the dang thing up while he & brother came off the roof and measured and cut that paper themselves ---sent Mom to da house to cook dinner! Never raised his voice to her---just took the cutter thing and suggested she go cook and asked us little kids politely to please go find his hammer for him .
