That is such bunk.
I don't believe that this was really from the 1800's.

this is my dream women.

had her, glad to be rid of her.
my fiancee is similar, with the exception that she works from home also. makes all the difference in the world when they contribute to paying bills as opposed to just racking them up.

If it was still like this today, the world would be a better and different place.

Problem/the change, happened back when they decided that they had a penis too!

You have both?

Not sure if we should worship or feel sorry for you if that is the case.

"You know, of the past fwe guys I've dated, they've both said their fantasy is to have a 'June Cleaver' waiting at the door for them when they get home from work, dressed up with a pearl necklace, slippers in hand, and a homecooked meal on the dinner table."




Well, just tell them that if they can do as well at bringing home the bacon as Ward did, they'll come a lot closer to their goal. Tell them that if they act as stupid as Ward did and play the foolish man all the time, they might get a lot closer. Tell them that they'll have to sleep in separate beds and only kiss your cheek, like Ward Cleaver did.

Tell them that you'll check them out. If they're Ward Cleaver, you'll be happy to oblige. [grin]

LMAO! Some of it actually is very true...especially...

Most men are by nature rather perverted, and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety of the most revolting practices

Actually, I've read this before and think they are all good ideas. Too often these days spouses seem to be in competition rather than trying to make each other happy. And I'm quite sure the divorce rate in 1955 was nowhere near what it is today. Same with the out of wedlock birth rate. Ah, the good ole days.

Somewhere That's Green - Little Shop Of Horrors
I know Seymour's the greatest,
But I'm dating a semi-sadist.
So I got a black eye,
and my arm's in a cast.

Still that Semour's a cutie.
Well, if not, he's got inner beauty.
And I dream of a place,
Where we can be together, at last.

A matchbox of our own.
A fence of real chainlink.
A grill out on the patio.
Disposal in the sink.
A washer and a dryer,
And an ironing-machine.
In a tract house that we share,
Somewhere that's green.

He rakes and trims the grass.
He loves to mow and weed.
I cook like Betty Crocker,
And I look like Donna Reed.
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean.
In the Pine-Sol scented air,
Somewhere that's green.




Between our frozen dinner,
and our bed-time nine-fifteen.
We snuggle watching Lucy,
On a big, enormous, twelve-inch screen.

Oh, his December bride,
He's father, he knows best.
The kids play Howdy-Doody,
As the Sun sets in the West.
A picture out of Better Homes
And Gardens magzine.
Far from Skid Row,
I dream we'll go...
Somewhere that's Green.

Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.

This sentence could have been simplifed by replacing "a little more interesting for him" with "let him watch".

The Smart Girls guide

1. Dinner- Whomever gets home first starts it, the other then has to wash the dishes. If you both are too tired...eat out.

2. OR just take a warm bath, can call out for pizza.

3. Don't expect anymore from him than he'd expect from you. IOW, just give each other space and share the newspaper.

4. Hire a housekeeper, unless you really like spending all your free time with a vacuumn cleaner and trying to figure out how to operate that iron thingie.

5. Have a 'his mess' are and a 'your mess' area. Both are sacred. Don't mess in his mess and he can't mess in yours.

6. Get a gas fireplace with a remote. Heck, get two...
One for his area and the other for yours.

7. Don't have kids. Or at least get real quite ones that are born able to dress, feed and drive themselves everywhere.

8. Be as happy to see him as he is to see you, then go to your areas and leave each other the heck alone.

9. Smile if you feel like it.

10. Pretend to listen to him. You know he's only pretending with you. Even better, paste pictures of Adrian Paul, Gerard Butler etc to underside of your glass coasters. Then you can day dream while he's talking.

11. Alternate 'whose night this is' --- and flip a coin over 'whose night this is' on Sunday.

12. Your goal: To try to keep the neighbors from calling the law, your family calling you a failure and your dreams being totally dashed.

13. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Greet him with the same list of things that met you when you got home. Do the 'coin flip' thing on who gets to fix what.

14. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Because you picked up your purse and headed out too...cuz there was a phone number on the bottom of coaster #5

15. Make him and yourself comfortable--- See mess areas above. Leave him in his while you go off to your own.

16. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. If your name is "Lassie" and you like being called "B!tch" other wise, if he's an adult male, he can figure out his own shoes.

17. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. You KNOW how good his judgment is and as for integrity, see the part about being out all night. Just keep it quid pro quo and all will be just fine.

18. A good wife always knows her place....which is in a warm bubble bath, eating Domino's pizza while watching "Troy" (Sound off) and thumbing through the lastest catalogue from Good Vibrations.

Not a real good idea, I think it would only confirm their mission.

16.(b) Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Even while laughing, I did notice that 16.(b) is my husband's idea of a perfect wife!
