    The first two, yes, I would have been wrong.

    Not with the current, and final wife.
    Dave, you are the first husband to have a different answer. You stand in smaller company sir. My poll is unscientific.

    And after you move it to the kitchen, tell her you needed to do it first so you can document the upcoming remodel on video for future reference, or the DIY channel, or..................... you get the idea.

    Hello.

    Rule number 1, mancave, there is NO kitchen.
    Rule number 2, remodel means buying a new refrigerator and perhaps a toaster oven and microwave.
    Rule number 3, do not get married.

    My first wife was married to me for just over two years. It's been twenty eight years since the divorce, my former in-laws are distant but civil, but the first wife still wouldn't piss on me if I were on fire.

    Second wife and I will be married twenty-two years this week. She's a keeper, I brought up her two kids from a previous marriage and we had two of our own, all now grown and the youngest two in college.

    As was said before, it depends on the woman. But my grandfather, a very wise man told me "Son, always treat your wife like a thoroughbred. That way she will never grow to be an old nag!"

    How weird is that?
    Its a historical event. Guess people see sentimental value in it. People will collect almost anything. People will hike miles and miles into rugged and barely accessible wilderness just to visit the remnants of a crash that may have happened 50+ years ago.

    You married guys always supply the same answer.
    with the first wife i would have been wrong if i was standing in the rain and said it was raining.
    with the present wife i have no such issue. i gots myself a good one this time.
