    Wife will sometimes call on the way home and tell me about her whole day. Shit that she could tell me when she gets home in 20 minutes.

    Of course, she then gets home and tells me the same shit.

     

    Why do you answer the phone? I never have conversations on the phone with my wife. I say "what's up?" and, if she starts to just talk, I cut her off and say "sorry but I've got to get this done, let's talk later." But usually I just don't answer. 

  2. I used to take the train from Baltimore to DC and back every day. And women would ALWAYS be on their phones talking to people. The whole way there. The whole way back. Basically no man was on his phone. I would just wonder who the fuck these people were talking to? Were they just somewhere else in the train? Had I died and gone to hell? I was just surrounded by idiotic blathering from every angle. The only other option was the quiet car, where you could hear somebody forty feet away clinching in a fart.

    I'm sure it happens to everyone on this thread, but it drives me crazy when my wife asks me a question, I answer, then she continues to ask/explain the question.

    <I walk out of laundry room after grabbing some batteries>
    Her:  Are you using the washer?
    Me:  No
    Her:  Because I need to wash the sheets
    Me:  I said I'm not using it
    Her:  The sheets need to be washed because the dog jumped in the pool and I didn't notice and when I let him in he ran and jumped on the bed and now the <I walk out of room> sheets are all wet and I need to wash them.  Do you think it's too hot for the dogs outside?  Should I get them a fan for outside?  I think there is a fan on sale at Target, I'll go tomorrow.  Oh!, you'll never guess who I ran into at Target the other day......
     

    Every married man endures this constantly. As far as I can tell, men mainly use language to CONVEY information, e.g. the house is THERE. So, once you have responded to her question with a decisive answer, in your mind there is nothing left to discuss and the jibber jabber that follows is like being dragged over hot coals. But women use language to PROCESS information, which has an emotional component. So talking about something, no matter how irrelevant, is part of their process of explaining how things are affecting them.

    It is essentially an unbridgeable psychological divide and you just have to be patient. She has the same frustration on her end, which is that you are rude and never talk to her, from her perspective. Good luck. You will fail. We all will fail.

    Well sorry amigo, because bad pizza sucks ass thru a straw and is not OK.  And nope, the best BBQ is not way better than the best pizza.  BBQ has basically one main flavor, pizza can combine several at once, for a much more complex flavor experience, and I love BBQ.  Of course its all personal choice, and your results may vary.

    where do you live? because you sound like a yankee

    They've always had time travel in the Star Wars series.  It's called the Jump to Hyperspace via Lightspeed.  You can go really fast to get from one end of the galaxy to the other in mere minutes.  What will be introduced in this final installment will be a Lightspeed system so powerful, you can travel forward in time.  I dunno.  Poster does kick ass though. 

    Everybody is always traveling forward in time.

    Tattoos have been around waaaay before your "edgy" bikers or whatever else had them. Same as piercings. People don't get tattoos to look "edgy". It's a form of art they want on your body. If you think tattoos make someone edgy, then you seem pretty sheltered and a weird outlook.

    And yes, face tats have been around waaaay before these people you are naming. Thousands of years ago cultured and tribes got tattoos all over their body, including their face and hands and it was the norm. They weren't trying to portray some image or look "hard" and "intimidating". 

    Yes and then Westerners showed up, killed them, and took their land.

    How long ago did you leave if you don’t mind me asking? I hear what you’re saying, and perhaps I’m just too optimistic because I’ve only been here a short time, but I have hope that this city will continue to improve.

    It's been about three years. You can get used to a lot of the problems quickly because the city is so historic, interesting and vibrant. But if you pay attention, you will find yourself getting accustomed to things that are not normal and not acceptable. Every time I think Baltimore turns in the right direction, they do something nuts and reset the meter.

    I buried the safe in the basement floor, she never goes in the basement.  Problem solved.

    Today was odd though.  Must be something in the menstrual air.  When I got home, the garage door was lifting and I could see her doing something with her car.  I had picked up some lumber for our home office I'm working on so I didn't pull into the garage as normal.  I get out and then see what she's doing.  She's washing the car......inside the garage.

    Now, the strangest part of this is, that I've never seen her wash a car.....EVER.  Not by hand, not paying someone else, not automated, not even if it was free with a fill-up.  NEVER.

    So immediately, my mind goes into "ah shit what did she fuck up now" so I start asking questions about it and of course I'm an asshole for asking why she's washing her car in the garage.  Apparently it was just a spur of the moment fleeting female thought that led to it, but I was still fucking irritated because I've got tvs, amps, speakers, computers, tools, etc. and I really don't want her in the garage at all to be quite honest, and it rarely is an issue.  Much like the basement, she doesn't venture there much.   I told her to wash the fucking car in the driveway and got the asshole tone stare but that's nothing new.

    She is washing all the semen off

    Cold War Update: My son wanted to hang out with Mary's son yesterday so my wife eventually gave in and called her. She's unblocked now, apparently, and left her a message. Mary called back later in the afternoon as if none of this had ever happened. She then informed my wife that her family booked a beach trip at the same time as ours. Mary has it in her pea brained head that we were all going to hang out for 3 days together on the beach. My wife is like, WTF? That's not happening. How do you go from blocking somebody and going radio silent for two weeks to "we're all going on vacation together" with zero discussion or even acknowledgement of the situation? So insane. 

    Enjoy your extended family beach vacation.

    Yeah I get ya - We’re right next to Butcher’s Hill and things are certainly turning up here. City on the whole is improving despite the crime statistics. It’ll honestly be really interesting to see where this place stands in 5 years.

     

    The high speed rail to DC also has the potential to be a game changer, but I’ll settle for Top Golf on the harbor wink.png

     

    We moved here from Southern California so it was a big adjustment, but I dig the people, food and cheap housing so I can’t complain.

    There's not going to be high speed rail to DC. Besides, what are the estimates for high speed rail times? 25 minutes? Guess how long it would take a direct, no stop, regular amtrak from Penn Station? A little less than thirty minutes. And if they fixed the West Baltimore tunnel, it would be more like 25. And you could get more trains through. The infrastructure (including light rail access and parking) is already in place, and it would totally revitalize the Charles Street corridor to have several non stops to DC so people could work there and live in Baltimore. 

    They can't even agree on where to put parking for the proposed high speed line. 

    I took the train to DC every day for seven years. There are ways to do it and make it work. 

    Butchers Hill is nice. The problem with crime in Baltimore is the total randomness of it. There are no safe areas, just safer areas. That makes it different than Chicago. Nobody is getting shot in downtown Chicago in the middle of the week. But in the Inner Harbor? Who knows.
