SWMBO's being a pain!

[JUST_BREW_IT]

Half the year, I'm on 1-2 beers a night three nights a week, 0 beers three nights a week, and all I care to drink (usually only 3-4) 1 night a week.

Baseball season tends to really screw that up. 1 beer every three innings for 168 games plus the playoffs if the Rangers are so fortunate.

You mean 162 plus playoff games?

I'm a cubs fan, I know exactly how many games we play every year (162)

Oops. My bad. It's baseball season. I can't count. I can barely type.

So I found out why swmbo was on my case. She heard me say "I need to empty some bottles," and thought I was trying to drink 5 gallons of beer as fast as I could just so I could brew more. (I don't have the heart to tell her she's right.) She said she's fine with me drinking a beer a night, sometimes 2 and occasionally 3. She just didn't want me trying to empty 60 bottles as fast as I could. Besides, she wants some for herself. (She's so needy!) Our discussion resulted in me getting permission to buy a bunch of new bottles so I can brew some more. In all honesty, I can see why swmbo got concerned, then upset. We're currently drinking my first 3 brews ever, and all were ready at the same time (see list below). Thanks to my OCD, it's been all I talk about lately, and I've been drinking to make up for lost time (when I had to pay store prices for fancy beer), so I can see how she got a little concerned. Novelty is to blame, mostly. So now that we've got a new understanding, it's back to brewing... and emptying bottles so I can brew more. Thanks again for the input folks!

Isn't it funny when an argument isn't even about what you thought it was about?

Hubby went off on me about getting a tattoo, and for some reason I thought he didn't want me to get one! Turns out he was actually pissed I didn't buy some farm equipment he says we needed, but I thought was impractical and we didn't really need it. So I told him we couldn't afford it right now. Then I go and spend $200.00 on a tattoo. Well, $180.00 on the tat and $20 on beer while I waited at the bar across the street. Finally, I realized what he was actually mad about! Solved the whole problem by buying the equipment he says we needed(but got along fine without in the past).

You could have killed two birds with one stone and avoided the whole mess if you'da gotten the piece of farm equipment tattooed on your... well... wherever you got your tattoo. Just a thought.

Good idea, but it was a seeder with about 20 different plate attachments, maybe next time he insists we need another old tractor, now something like that I might get tattooed somewhere special, just for hubby.
