No Conference Championships for me this weekend... (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Wife turns 40 this weekend, Sunday is the actual day so I can't even hint at wanting to catch the games. I'm sure it will be a fun filled day of some spiritual uplifting outdoor make believe we are one with nature purists event like kayaking down the Miami River and then over to some spa like Canyon Ranch or Floral Fusion, then some fancy restaurant with high prices and small portions where you have to go to McDonald's after to make sure you don't go hungry for the night.

I may need to have an afternoon trick plus a high ball before the weekend is locked in.

such the romantic

How will you ever survive? Pretty sure you'll have to go MOP on someone.

That reminds me, I gotta get her Swedish Fish it's her favorite. That means I gotta go to Walgreen's today, JC when will it end? And then get this, her friend who was supposed to fly in this weekend and shoulder some of the load for me, she won't be here until next weekend so my wife is milking this thing for 2 weekends

 

[dutch]

maybe you can milk both her things as a makeup to you

 

[Keith R]

Can't celebrate Saturday?

 

[McGarnicle]

I can't imagine being in a marriage like that. Even if my wife wasn't as excited for the games as I am, even if she didn't care at all, she would understand the importance and would be fine rescheduling her birthday stuff for Saturday. Makes no sense to go out to a nice restaurant on a Sunday anyway, everyone knows that. It's dead, so most likely the head chef and best servers have the night off.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Too bad, to me this is better than the Super Bowl.

2 games & 99% less hype.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Amazing that you were able to reproduce before your balls dropped.

Yep and these are two for the ages IMO. You've got the niners playing arguably the best ball of all the remaining teams, but can they win in Seattle? And of course Brady vs. Manning needs no hype. Jeez I'm getting a semi just thinking about these games.

 

[jamny]

I'm glad my wife loves football. We plan our weekends around it and even her 40th wouldn't keep her away from the games.

This is the smartest post I have seen on here in a while.

Sounds like your marriage sucks.

So you're not even sure what you're doing for your wife's 40th birthday, which is two days from now?

 

[McGarnicle]

Cry all you want, that's the marriage you negotiated for yourself. It's a series of tradeoffs. If you can't stake a claim to certain things that are sacrosanct (football, man cave, poker night, whatever), then she's wearing the pants. Sad.

Her best friend was supposed to fly in(surprise) but she canceled 2 days ago, not funny.

 

[McGarnicle]

Guess what honey! I'm taking you to Buffalo Wild Wings for 8 hours!

 

[Fariq]

Celebrate the birthday on Saturday or next weekend. WTF

 

[Andy Dufresne]

This thread rocks. I woke up this morning wondering what MOP was going to be doing on Sunday.

I thought it would remain a mystery. Glad this itch has been scratched.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

You married? This would play out well for you?

My wife does a lot for me, I just want to kick n scream in here on Friday anyways.

Hooters!!! She gets 10 wings for free on her birthday, PERFECT!

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Maybe she'll allow your balls to stay behind and they can fill you in after you get home.

Saturday is a no brainer. No work the next day, and if you're talking a nice restaurant, that's the time to go. Why should she care if it's a day before her birthday? What if her birthday fell on a Tuesday? Most people would throw a party on the nearest weekend. Tell her you're watching the games but you're going to the best restaurant in town on Saturday night and you have a nice surprise for her Sunday morning. Bring her breakfast in bed, some jewelry and a nice romp in the sheets. Any wife should be thrilled with that.

 

[MCguidance]

Seriously? Rescheduling your wife's birthday to watch football? I'm a big fan, but really, get yourself together.

See, McG understand that this is not easy and also outside of the FFA it won't play well in mainstream life.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I'm so glad I married the woman I did.

If we celebrated a Sunday birthday on Saturday it would make absolutely zero difference to her.

 

[Premier]

I don't know any adults who care about celebrating on the actual day if another day is better. That's bizarre.

Christo will be all over her when she's done eating all of that.

I'm sure if I cry n whine enough I could as well, but my wife on the whole treats me pretty good. I think most men in here would be shocked how good I have it most of the time. I think I am gonna push for a Saturday night dinner, then I can be free to start early on the out door stuff, she'll want to come home and relax around early afternoon just as NE and Denver tee it up around 3:00, plenty of time to go outside from early morning to early afternoon.

This might work out yet. I knew the FFA wouldn't steer me wrong

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I don't know any adults

I bet

 

[NCCommish]

You know when it is my team playing then I would put my foot down. But that wouldn't be the case this weekend. And after a full season of my taking several hours every Sunday to do what I want I don't think it's at a sign of lack of balls to give my wife that day. Especially a milestone birthday. Now if my team were playing then that's a fight I am willing to wage but not for some teams I don't care about.

True, not cool on her end, but to be fair she married a guy who thinks that her 40th birthday and spending time with her is nothing but a huge inconvenience, so maybe she deserves it.

If you're gonna do that shtick you should make it funny. That doesn't even make sense.

And then get this, her friend who was supposed to fly in this weekend and shoulder some of the load for me, she won't be here until next weekend so my wife is milking this thing for 2 weekends

Make sure the Fish aren't sugarless.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I got her to pivot to Saturday Night for dinner, she wants to go into the Everglades on Sunday, knew she was gonna want to try to be Mother Earth. I asked her to try and gauge what time we start and finish, she said early start and done by Noon/1PM, that's perfect, take about 90 minutes to get back to Miami from the central part of the Everglades.

She wants to rent bikes and hike and all that nonsense, should be a fairly mild day in terms of temperature, been waiting to go when it cooled off.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Make sure you stay out of radio and tv hearing/viewing range & put the cell down, don't want to tempt yourself.

Also, have a great time!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I don't know any adults who like me

I bet

That is some funny shtick

Thanks

Sure but you gotta let them know you are aware of it. "Let me just leave this in the car so we don't get interrupted by anything."

Can't let any deed in marriage go unnoticed

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

maybe you should have thought of this before marrying someone with a birthday in January. had to know this was coming.

 

[fantasycurse42]

I mean, if you really can't watch the games, why not shut yourself out from the outside world & record them? You can watch both in the matter of 2 hours when you get home.
