hmm....I'm moving in with my girlfriend in a few months. I'm gonna do a daily inventory or my stuff now and perhaps bolt it all to very large things.

When spouses attack

My Dad's first wife took over 500 vinly records that belonged to my dad.
That annoys me.
I hope things look better this morning Tim. I know we dont see eye to eye alot of the time, but things like this put petty argument in perspective, huh?
I feel like starting a "buy Tim Cole a fish tank" paypal collection.

I'm in for $10 if you do. Passive agressive behavior is bad--especially when you obviously need support right now, and not underhanded attacks.
Good luck, Tim. When it hits the fan like this, you've got to go Big Picture and remind yourself, "I could have been in a tsunami, or a war zone, or something."
Bummer Tim. Its a good thing you didn't feed me that 1999 beer though, or I would have had to kick you in the jimmy while you weren't looking. You're having a crappy streak right now for sure. It'll get better. Keep buggin 'em on that job. The CDL is a great idea. It shows them you are serious about doing whatever it takes.
Yet another example of how some women feel that they have the right to control their husband's life as though he were a little boy. :scowl:
Sorry to hear this, Tim.
Been there, done that - though I was never married. (Thank God.

lol, I have no idea if the friend is cute, never met her, or even heard of this one before. When I asked what happened to it, she said "I got rid of it". I asked who (or rather who THE HELL) did you give it to, and her response was "a friend". The same kind of "a friend" response you get when you ask who she was with all night when "people" are out unexpectedly, and cannot be reached. I don't mean to sound like I think she is up to something, but frankly I really don't care to worry about it either. I have enough things of my own I need to get straightened out, I'm not going to worry about her, and whatever her problems are. I'm sure it wont come down to it, but I'd honestly rather she leave than put my priorities on hold to try to make her happy.
Toasted, bummer about your dad's records. Some people like to be viscious just to hit people where it hurts, regardless if it is anything of gain to them.....people suck
And LOL, thanks for the offer of the fish tank collection, but it's not nescessary. Even if she were to get mine back (which she will NOT), it still wouldn't change the selfishness and disrespect that happened.....damn I sound like a whiner, but in the end it was the point of it that pissed me off. Don't get me wrong, I am pissed the fish are gone, but like always......it's the thought that counts....the point of it all, which I am unsure she will never understand or agree with.
I just got back from the DMV. I got the permit, and decided to go ahead and take the written exam (the final written exam before licensing), which I got a 94 on. I also took an endorsement I studied a little for and got a 91. I decided to go ahead and take a test for one final endorsement, that is one class above the class I am trying to get, without any study or review. Unfortunately, I got a 75 on that one by missing ONE too many questions, and failed that one. Oh well, I will read up and go pass that one tomorrow. All I have left to do after that is show them I can drive the things without crashing into stuff, and it will all be done with.
PS cheezewiz, that 99 issue BUSCH (which sucks bad enough to begin with) had your name written all over it. I think you might even need a spoon by now. Someone robbed my cooler at the races a LONG time ago, and left that ****ty can in there. After a year or so of sitting in the fridge, I decided I would hang onto it for a decade or so (or until they changed the can design), and pass it off to an unsuspecting party to see what they thought of it. Oh well.
Going through similar crap right now myself. She wants me to get rid of all my basses except one. She threw out my stainless steel fretwire for my bass "I didn't know what it was, and it looked like junk to me. You have enough bass **** laying all over this house anyway! What are you trying to build one for anyway???" and has threatened to throw out all my pictures from my whole life- things that I had before we got together. Pics of my mother, who is now dead, old pics of family that had old girlfriends from 20 years ago somewhere in them, she even wants to go through my cell phone to remove any female names!!! Some of the female names are family, some are friends, some are business contacts. She is constantly harassing me as to why I haven't asked her to marry me yet- I done that twice, and both times it fell apart within the first month! And, I got totally screwed over financially as well! Oh, I'm just giddy over THAT idea...where do I sign up? Whenever I start gathering my stuff to go put it all in a storage place somewhere, she tells me I'm acting like a 3-year old. She bitches me out about my airplane magazines, my pilot books, has thrown out some of them...it's all about control. I found that all females MUST be 100% in control ALL THE TIME, or they will explode. They use sex as a weapon (they like to use the term "incentive") and when they don't get their way, withdraw it- "You're never having sex again!" "Oh really? Not with you, anyway!!" I've found that cutting THEM off really gets them- they have yet to figure that one out

Now, don't go lumping ALL women into the same boat just because you found one of the crazier ones. I have to question the sanity of someone who wants to remove all female contact from your life BEFORE she has you trapped with the ring.
I HAD to get Direct TV so my girlfriend could watch Jets games every week--I'm certainly not going to assume all women must plan activities around the NFL in the Fall and Winter as a result. There are some good ones out there. I will grant that they are all insane, but they aren't all evil. Or, at least, they aren't all completely evil just as all drummers aren't completely stupid.
Okay, maybe the drummers thing was a bad example....

Uh... Grow some balls and leave them?
Remember, before the feminist movement, when women were pretty much docile and left you alone... except when you were hungry and wanted a steak?
There are still women like that out there... go find one. they cant be that bad

Something tells me your knowledge of the feminst movement would fill a thimble, at best. And, to offer advice on a marriage is a bit out of your league.

RUN!

Some hide the fact, but there is a secret ingredient in wedding cake that apparently blows all their cover.
My wife is still in bed. I think when she wakes up, I am going to ask her if she plans to get MY stuff back today, or tomorrow. I already know the answer to that though, it aint going to happen.
If I didn't have all my money being tied up for other unnescessary purchases, I'd go buy a new one today just to piss her off, and prove a point.

No, all females are most certainly NOT like that. I'm sorry you've had some bad ones. Perhaps that says more about your discernment regarding the females that you choose to be with than it does about females in general. Your description of females bears no resemblance to any female I've ever dated nor does it resemble my wife.

I got a great one, but we didn't have a wedding (thus, no wedding cake).
Man, I'd be pissed! That's a weird thing to do without talking about it. I hope she feels bad.
So, was this act some sort of retaliation for something you did? Or did she just think that it'd be fine with you/didn't care?
