......for 3 days as she goes on one of those "Women's Retreats" things. I mean it's not like a mother of 4 [soon to be 5] children needs a break every now and then hey?? *ducks* :nuts:

BTW, my 2 year old Son is walking around in a dress and high heel shoes with a toy machine gun. Am I a good parent or what??? :D :nuts: :eek:

It's good to let the wife relax a little bit :) who's taking care of the kids meals and I hope you are not having problems with it.

Nah, no problems at all. It's a pleasure to be the "parent on duty". My wife has pre-cooked dinners for me in the freezer. Tonight we went out for Pizza anyways. I run a web hosting business - I can handle 4 children. :D

LOL :laugh:

it is easier to handle a web hosting business than the "support calls" from my 17 month old daughter:bomb: there are times I wonder WHAT HAS SHE BEEN EATING???????????:eek4:

So...if we can handle four kids, does that mean we're ready to handle a webhosting business?

I can handle my two baby cousins, guess that means I'm ready for a reseller account!

So if i look after 50 servers, how many kids is that equal to?

Hmmmm, I'd say about 5. :D

:laugh: :laugh: There's plenty of time to cross both bridges there Allan!! Oh to be young again. :)

Hmmm. the webhosting customers i can hang the phone up on if they get rude... the kids i gotta exert energy and pick them up and chunck them out the door or something...... hehe no thanks :).


I feel for you..... yet again the cycle of the terrible twos.. i have 2 many nephews and younger cousins to have any more need for children in my life hehe.

None.

Looking after 50 servers is more like looking after 50 patients in a nursing home. Like the patients, the servers never improve and can't clean themselves up when they make a mess.

Lucky me. I don't have any kids now but sadly my girlfriend wants to leave me because she thinks I love my business than her.:crying: :crying: :crying:

WHAT?!?!

You mean you DON'T love your business more than your girlfriend?!?!

Whats wrong with you! Business first, fun later! :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

the best three things about running a business and having a child.

1) when my child was born I was there at the deliver, then I got to my office at 4 am, send a global fax to all my customers saying don't call me till 12:00 noon NYT. what happens, at 12:00 the phone goes off the hook ringing and faxes start pouring in. I forgot to mention that I jumped when the phone rang like a cat hit by lightning.

2) doing work on the phone with a client and have the speaker phone on. my daughter leaked on my laptop. it was the funniest thing. ( got the sale closed ) but better was when I was on the phone to teck support on how to slove this problem. ( which one right LOL )

3) best thing about having your child next to you when your working, the smile when you say quitting time.

ok there is a move for this. I call it the "twist of fate "

first thing you do is say to her when you see her is

honey, do you think these pant's are to tight, her thinking is " he's looking to dump me " then take her to the place she like the most ( food place )

this will buy you at least 2 weeks of peice and quiet

or you follow up with the shopping trick.

you say to here " let's go shopping at you xyz ( insert favorite mall ) but make sure there is a computer or book store you like there. then when you go you ask her " honey would you mind if I bought a pair of new ( insert favorite designer pant's shirts whatever ), at the ( insert store that is along the way to the book store )

Now she is in a panic because no man buys clothing unless he has a new girlfriend or is dumping the old one.

you can try " honey do I look fat " and watch the reaction. at this point she will say "do you think I look fat", your response is "you look lovlier than when I Met you" and or " your are so hot that butter would melt right off your ( insert you favorite public part ), then again you hit her with "Honey do I look fat" then she will say "why do you ask?" at that point go HMMFFF turn around and cook some food. then mention after dinner that you are going out for a few beers with the boys ( put some aftersave on) . she will PANIC. but come home just about 10 minutes later than normal, before youleave the bar, was your face and comb your hair.

Also note, women will notice when you change from your daily aftershave to a new one So splurge about 1 week after you tried any of the above lines. She will automatically think that she is about to get the boot.

Now the last resort " use at your own risk I will not be held liable if you get married "

Go out and buy a used leather biker jacket. Dont tell her. Ignore your girlfriend, make sure she see's you with it on before you leave the house or at the bar. only 2 results happen a) your a badboy and she'll want to tame you ( marriage ) or b) you'll hook up with a new girl and your going to TOS the otherone.


Mike

p.s. I have the married versions of these also. they work to a point but I can only pull one out ever 3 or 4 months. best one is

"death"

Me: "Honey will you get remarried after I die?"

wife : Yes
me : "your not even going to morn me HHMMFFF".
get out of the room fast and pour a drink on your bar.
that buys you about 4 weeks of fishing time, and some reels ( my hobbie )

OR

Wife: No
Me : "marriage is so BAD, well I'll be HHMMFFF"
get out fast again. this is worth at least 3 months of fishing and atlease a new whatever you want ( count them servers boys).


mike

So when I'm ready for kids that means since I run a Web Hosting Company I can afford them. :laugh: That means my wife can work for me and don't have to go to work somewhere else. :laugh: Since she is my wife I don't have to pay her LOL.

Thank ADEhost for your tips. I love your words "twist of fate "

Heh, I don't need women in my life right now, i've got 2 much work with the company to get it running smoothly much less to try and keep a woman happy ontop of that :)

keeping a woman happy requires some real simple things


a) listening
b) listening
c) listening

that's the trick to that.

one day I'll post the rules on how I get out of the house to buy fishing equipment ( fishing trips is even harder ) after your married and with child.

LOL

Now you tell me!

Actually, good communication/relationship is better than sex according to many females. Can't have one without the other. :)

you seem not to understand, by listening to your wife you will automatically get nookie, the more you listen the more nookie you get. You don't know nookie untill you get good listening nookie. Then you get makeup nookie when you did not listen to her and argued then started to listen again.
