Title: What would you do Post by: SeniorTSM on August 20, 2012, 01:50:54 PM Ok its getting close to the first game of the year, I'm excited!, getting my plans together to cook out, have some neighbors over,
(let me give you a little background first, I am Military, Im from Fort Payne Alabama, My wife is from Wynne Arkansas, We recently got stationed near Navarre, fl on the gulf cost, moved here from Shreveport. I have been working on the house since we got he in June, new floors, painted all the walls, a bunch of work) Ok now the wife hit me with, hey can we go to Arkansas Labor day to see my parents? Really...now...? why now? I cant say I dont want to go, because her parents dont watch football(I know thats a sin im my eyes too) but I really dont want to go that weekend, any other weekend (except when Bama plays Arky) would be fine. ughh what would y'all do? >:( Title: Re: What would you do Post by: FocusedFan on August 20, 2012, 02:01:10 PM How attached are you to this particular wife?
Title: Re: What would you do Post by: SeniorTSM on August 20, 2012, 02:06:08 PM Ha, Well its important but probably not important enough to lose her over...
Cheaper to keep her. :-* Title: Re: What would you do Post by: FocusedFan on August 20, 2012, 02:27:55 PM Yeah, I was afraid of that.
You can always plead the old 'Labor Day weekend traffic is a bear, let's just take off next Monday and have back to back 3 day weekends and take a nice leisurely drive up to visit my FAVORITE IN-LAWS !? (it's worth a try?) Title: Re: What would you do Post by: Crimson Legend on August 20, 2012, 03:04:46 PM Buy tickets to the game and go since you will be in the state?
Title: Re: What would you do Post by: pmull on August 20, 2012, 03:16:32 PM Buy an airline ticket, take her to the airport and tell to have a nice trip you will see her when she gets back.
Title: Re: What would you do Post by: XBAMA on August 20, 2012, 03:17:57 PM get sick Thursday night , sick as hell is what you say .
call in Friday , lay around all day , act like your freezing shake from time to time , run to the bathroom and make heaving noises . stay in the BR for 20 to 30 minutes at a time depending on TV programing ask for soup and juice throughout the day and blankets throw the blankets off on the floor and scream I'M BURNING UP ! don't dare take a shower until right before game time you'll miss the friends and the cookout but heck , can't have everything good luck and RTR ! enjoy the game those 24 hour bugs can be a killer :dunno: Title: Re: What would you do Post by: Chechem on August 20, 2012, 03:37:14 PM This is an age-old problem: wife or football.
1. Life is short; choose football. 2. Life is long (longer if married); choose wife. 3. See FocusedFan's comment (I'm not proposing a crime). LOL #1 works for me, especially since this is the HIGH TIDE era of Alabama football. Title: Re: What would you do Post by: 2Stater on August 20, 2012, 03:46:54 PM Show her this. If she still wants to go, she's a communist. Your conscience will be clear when you cut her loose.

I hate having to go to the airport if I'm not flying anywhere. >:(Title: Re: What would you do Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 20, 2012, 06:20:09 PM How attached are you to this particular wife? :lol: :lol: #+ Title: Re: What would you do Post by: Bandit on August 20, 2012, 07:12:32 PM Find a cousin, sibling, uncle, or some relative of hers that lives in the same town and go with him to the local sports bar.
