With car season at an end, what's left but social issues?
427 Carl suggested I check out Sister Wives and comment on this viable alternative lifestyle. Carl and I talked back and forth, hijacking Glenn's cruise thread (which is very rude of us) so I thought I'd keep it going here.
So Carl,
Don't be so quick to abandon this new and exciting possiblity. Sure, hypertension is a concern, but perhaps INCREASED activity is the solution...check with your physician.
On the economic side, why not let the harem carry the freight? Is it so different from a Lion pride? Man jobs are either disappearing or being redrawn so as to make them unappealing, (I read this in The Atlantic Monthly so it must be true) and the ladies are dominating the workforce....so...why have just one out at work when you can have four?
On that note, I'm off to the Mosque, hajib and all.
I was to hasty to give up the idea, of have several, ah, mates..
I checked with my wife, and she is going to make a list, of what i need..
I checked with a few more ladies in town, and most are eager to help out (most want to help with my finances?)...
I got this note this morn.. I thought all members can relate to this...(below)
Getting back to cars... Looks like a good warm week here..
I have my friends dealer plate , and think I will get Camaro out today..(insurance off as of Nov 1)
Big chief is due for a run as well....... Il la il hala. Salem

OK.....which one of you guys left your shirt at Lala's house. Nice smile, must be difficult to keep it on with all the death dealings going on.
Well, like you Stone, my life tends to unfold like one adventure after another. No matter how strange or sad things get, there is always something humourous that happens right in the middle of it all. Like the time the back door of the hearse swung shut (there was no one there) trapping me inside when I was trying to recover the casket lock unit. It was parked around the back so no one heard my cries for help; no one was gonna miss me for awhile either since I'd said that I was taking the boat out for fuel and a washing. I had no choice but to wiggle through a tiny opening in the glass divider between the back compartment and the front seat. It was a ridiculous situation in the middle of a busy funeral day. Chuckled over it all day.

Thats hilarious......could you imagine if the tiny opening was a little tinier? It would be hard to explain to the next one who opens the back door what the hell was going on there. It might of even brought a smile to the deceased dude, having your bottom half hanging in the back throught his procession.
I've had my share of embarrasing moments like that, and usually the fear of being seen is worse than the moment itself. I bought a car when I was 17, (Honda Civic.....what do 17 yr olds know anyway)and the day came to get it from the dealer, the papers were signed, I got the keys and headed to the parking lot. I hopped in and turned the key......it was standard and in reverse, so of course it lurched through the rotted plank fence right behind it and fell directly on its tail in the deep ditch. I climbed out of the drivers door and hopped down into the ditch and went back in to talk to the nice man. He took one look, and then went back inside to call out the rest of the staff to come see and to laugh at me. I've had worse, but that wasnt a good day.
Oh no. That's classic! I could go on all day with most embarassing moments:
1. Falling on my rear end at my graduation in front of hundreds of people.
2. Trying to "sell" a family a metal casket forgetting that they wanted cremation.
3. Losing a shoe while climbing the stairs to the high altar on my wedding day.
4. Getting kicked out of a bar for sleeping.
5. Being thrown out of restorative art class at mortuary school (at age 39) for talking and helping. (I was making ears under the desk and passing them to the kids who couldn't sculpt to save their lives.)
6. Forgetting myself at Thanksgiving and referring to my brother as a Master Bastor. (His secret to good turkey is a lot of butter and basting every half hour.)
That's great Carl On the subject of sister wives ......My wife said get a maid instead I think she missed the whole point on a sister wife
hmm.... I thought that was point of it 1 wife for kids 1 wife for food 1 wife for clean up and so on ...... maybes its cheaper for me to do it all
No no no. The idea is that they all go out to work and bring cash home to you. YOU do the housework, BUT.... If being an "at home" is too much for you to bear, than get a maid to do the housework so your time can be better spent on, I don't know, HOBBIES?????

Why would I throw all that car money away on paying a maid Then my wife would have a friend to talk to about work problems and so on hey wait a minute.....they might throw me out on my arse

Jet says:
The same is true with the one wife scenario...the locks could be changed at any time...so don't let that hold you back. And they're making the money so THEY HAVE TO SUPPORT YOU if they want to be rid of you.
And the car money isn't wasted on the maid because this is a multiple income family...you can afford her (or him if man-maid's wife is in upper management and this is the best he can do until the tide turns).
A plig union is man-centred, you know, like a cult of personality (think Stalinist Russia) but the ladies are freed up through the sharing of the duties to go out beyond the confines of the home and hearth. They go out into the workforce with their man-ties, sensible shoes (and what's with the straight limp hair and no makeup??? -- am I the only one who still paints it on?) put in their time and then come back to their clean homes, fully stocked fridges and happy old man. He's happy 'cause he doesn't have to go out there and jump through hoops anymore; they're happy because they can crack a beer, watch the tube and appreciate the Man Maid who's really hot.
