New tires= upset wife. Why?

I don't agree with welfare either necessarily. think its good to help people get on their feet again, but there should be a limit as to how long they get it. And they need to be showing evidence they are trying to improve their situation, but if you'll refer back to my earlier post where I mentioned affirmative action, if there is going to be a system in place and it will be helpful for me, I'm not going to say no.

It's a good thing I don't believe in god then.

Comon, with an avatar like that, there has to be a God.

There's a couple flaws in your logic. First off, by hiding your income and collecting welfare or food stamps aren't you breaking the law? The system in place is designed(poorly) to help those that need it. By the rules of the system you don't. So no, there isn't a system in place to be helpful to you unless you cheat or steal your way into it.
The system was not designed to help you buy Jeep parts.

Okay, I told myself I wasn't going to post anymore on this thread, but...

I've now seen several postings from several different people talking about, what happens when you both want something, who's going to win?

I'm sorry, but in a marriage no one "wins" and no one "loses." It's not a competition. You sit down and you talk it over and you come to an agreement. When it's done right there is no "winner."

Here's another little clue (that I'm sure will go right over the heads of the people who most need it): If you find yourself thinking that you just "won" an argument with your spouse, you're wrong. You didn't win and neither did he or she. If it's a win/lose situation then you are BOTH losers!

Nobody is right until somebody is wrong. It is in the way that you use it.

its just nice to be in a sitution where that NEVER occurs. No talking, no debating. no winning, no loosing......I used "symphonic" before, and I wouldn't have used the word "symbiotic" it doesn't describe what I'm talking about well enough.

My wife wouldn't care less if i came home with a new set of tires. shit, she wouldn't even ask me "when did you get those?" much less notice that i did. Nor do i notice if she buys some new rags or stuff for her. We both know whats in our personal accounts, and whats in our joint acount. direct deposit and electronic bill pay works wonders. When I know theres not enough money to buy the new thing I want, I have enough fawking sense to not let my impulses get the better of me. I know how to say "no". The discussion never comes up! And she works it the same way. I've NEVER gotten melinda up in my world, and I've never gotten up in hers. And she's an alpha-personality just like me. Alpha personalities require independance and individuality. In order to survive ina household with two alpha personalities requires FREEDOM, and the key to success for enjoying freedom is TRUST. And it works. Llike i said, its symphonic. What i see on this sad thread are indiduals making huge and unecessary compromises. "Somethings gotta give" and it seems its usually the beta male who becomes submissive, probably because he can't endure the constant control, or because its the best way to get laid.

sad and pathetic.

I am a Republican and proud of it!!! It is the democrates that want all of these public assistance programs. (oops, now I look even more the fool! Maybe I should brush up on my political party affiliations...who wants what)

I want my tax money to help protect our country. I think if you look back you will find that you said the military does pay you each month and you are hiding that from the public assistance program because you think you deserve more than what they are paying you.

Nope, not hiding, never said I was hiding anything, they don't want that info. My wife and I signed up for the WIC program and I told them I make $19,000 base pay and I also get such and such amount for BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing). They said, oh that's ok we only care about your base pay. When I apply for anything I am completely open about everything they ask, but if they still want to give me the benefits, I will take them.

Just for the record tho, since when is being a forum user rather than member, considered stealing? If you had to pay to get into the forums you'd have a lot fewer members. If I hadn't been able to use these forums, I never wuold've given a chance. And yes, I do plan on signing up as a member, just not yet. Other expenses are more important ($400 to replace my bearings).

Didn't intend to turn this into a big deal and get everyone all pissy and stuff. I'm actually in a prtty good mood. I'm happy an everything. But I now will be leaving for the day. Gonna go make some money with my XJ towing a trailer.

You need to be smarter than the system set up by democrats. Just because it's there does not mean you should use it. There are millions of people that abuse the system, just think of the schools that really need that money.

chicagovich needs that money more than the schoolkids.

Not to change the subject, but did you hear that Ted Nugent is considering running for senate in IL? He is originally from the Arlington Heights area.

This is a very entertaining thread. Thanks for the chuckles.


Thankfully, my husband and I have a great relationship when it comes to money. He makes it and I make sure all the bills are paid and the 2 yr old twins are taken care of and then what's left...well...it's a battle of who gets the next upgrade...his heep or mine!!!
Good luck guys!!

Hey Beez, you're right, this stirring $hit is fun.
Seems to be comming to a close on this thread though. It's been a good run.

What a whiny bunch of pu**y whipped candy asses.

All my wife asks when new Hoosiers arrive (at $920/4) is "how much faster am I going to be?"

And those Hoosiers last between 25 and 35 miles total.

Grow some.

notice how many jeepers with control-freak bitch-ass wives have avoided posting on this thread entirely.

81-percent of naxja members have their testicles in a safety deposit box.

In order to survive ina household with two alpha personalities requires FREEDOM, and the key to success for enjoying freedom is TRUST.

I don't see how there's any TRUST involved in your situation? If you're living seperate lives in the same house and there's no access to each other's money, then where is the TRUST? Seems to me TRUST would be if shared a bank account and had mutual TRUST that neither would abuse it.

An interesting (and hardly related) question for you: What would you think/do if your wife came home one day with a whole bunch of plastic surgery done, she paid from it from her funds, and never discussed the idea with you?
