Have you ever notice that women tend to? Hmmm. Not sure how to say this....I guess they like to communicate more than men.
Example:
Man tells wife, Hey, I'm going out for a bit.
Wife: Where you going?
Man: Dunno, might drop by Cabelas.
Wife: What you going after?
Man: Not sure.
Wife: Are you going after anything in particular?
Man: Nope.
Wife: I need a few things from the mall, just a second I'll make you a list.
Man: Sighs to himself.
Wife: Hands list to hubby. Here ya go. Be sure to get the correct brand. The last time you picked up the wrong kind.
Man: Sighs and mumbles to himself as he leaves. After driving three blocks his cell phone rings.
Wife: Hey, swing back by here, I'll go with you.
_______________________
Man tells brother, going out for a bit.
Brother: Ok
Man leaves.
Ok, I'm going to duck now! LAUGHING!

In defense of all wives . Man tells wife, Hey, I'm going out for a bit. Wife: Where you going? "Perfectly reasonable question" Man: Dunno, might drop by Cabelas. Wife: What you going after? Man: Not sure. Wife: Are you going after anything in particular? Man: Nope.
" why ask? because it might be something we already have and he's forgotten or it's a surprise for him you've already bought, ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS (((( BIG SIGH))). Or to remind him that thing he's been wanting just went on sale he'll save big bucks."
Wife: I need a few things from the mall, just a second I'll make you a list. "thinking this is right on his way and will save me a trip" Man: Sighs to himself. Wife: Hands list to hubby. Here ya go. Be sure to get the correct brand. The last time you picked up the wrong kind. "OMG does this strike home" Man: Sighs and mumbles to himself as he leaves. After driving three blocks his cell phone rings. Wife: Hey, swing back by here, I'll go with you. "After thinking over what she's asked him to do....I better bake this pie later, put the lid back on the paint can, do this wall later, clean up and go with him".
Most women I know are used to multitasking and want to make the most of what time they have. IMHO men not so much. Let's face it girls we have to except it, guys and girls are just wired differently.

ROFLMAO! That sounds like a number of people that I know. Here's an example of a phone call I have gotten:
Lady: Hi, how are you doing? me: good, just getting ready to go out to my garden (should be a hint that I will not talk very long). Lady: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx me: ah hah Lady: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. me: ah hah. Lady: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx? me: uh uh. lady: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx, I'll call you later, and talk to you about it then. me: OK, bye.

I am a realist so I can admit when someone has hit the nail on the head. hairymooseknuckles , that is a scenario that could easily happen at our house. HOWEVER I would never give hubby a list to pick up things for me because I would have to return half of them. He would have picked up the wrong things or changed them to what he thinks I should have wanted instead or possibly even have forgotten the list in his truck!

Geez... It's so much easier being a single girl who hates to shop and who has a boyfriend who lives across town who hates to shop too...

Not a shopper at all, either! I drive in maybe once a week by myself for groceries that are too picky for hubs to pick out. Since I retired from my job, I never feel any desire to drive to town unless I absolutely have to. All the years I was working, I bought all our groceries on my way home from work. He goes every morning at 7AM to have coffee and shoot the breeze with his old buddies. He picks up any odds and ends I request and will take a list. He sometimes calls me on his cell phone if he can't find something on the shelves. I do have to be VERY specific or he might come home with wrong stuff. I hate to go grocery shopping with him because when I do go in, I wander slowly so that I can eyeball the shelves and stock up on things I may have forgotten to put on my list. He wants to just get what's on the list and gets antsy if I take too long. I figure if I take more time, I won't need to go back another day for forgotten stuff.
I don't see shopping as a form of entertainment. I'd rather stay home and garden, read or take a nap! Shopping for clothes is a real pain. He gave me a Christmas gift certificate at a local upscale clothing store and I finally got around to using it in June. I like my soft and comfy old clothes and don't go anywhere I have to dress up.

oh amen and amen!. I hate going to the store. I hate shopping. my mom gave me a gift certificate to Kohl's (which I don't like their quality..) I think I finally gave it away or lost it or my kids used it... I never did go shopping with it I can tell you that.

HA! You just described me to a tee. The gift certificate I got for Christmas is still sitting in a drawer, blue jeans and T shirts here. I do have a couple of nice outfits if I'm forced to wear them, usually to a place or function I'd rather not be at.

C'mon, ahntjudy, not all of us are like that! Most women I've known didn't know what half the stuff in my kitchen was for! Not to mention, some of the things I get from the garden. lol

who is binnylou? I need sleep! She is on another site - ahntjudy knows her. The name came up on my "easy bar" when I hit@, and my fat fingers must have overlapped! lol And I didn't proof read it, like I usually do.

I'd know what most of the stuff in your kitchen is for. (Maybe not all, you DO have quite a collection of kitchen gear.) But some of the vegetables and herbs you grow are pretty exotic!
