Just read this and it fits this discussion too:
"44 yrs ago we had a cheap apt, cheap car, slept on sofa bed & watched a 10" B & W TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 25 yr old girl. Now I have a $500K home, a $45K car, an HDTV, but I'm sleeping with a 65 yr old. You're not holding up your end of the deal. She told me to go out and ... find that 25 yr old girl and she'd make sure I was again in a cheap house, driving a cheap car"

For the first time in my life I have a mostly live in girlfriend and that same exact comment is starting to drive me crazy. Not only is my electric bill almost twice as it was before but it gets so hot and dry in my room with the heat on and the window closed that I often wake up almost gasping for air.
Its like any temperature below 75 is FREEZING cold for christsakes.
She really wants me to teach her how to ski but now Im not so optimistic about it.

Yes baby, I'd love to go to Ross with you and contemplate buying some plates or towels or a table or some shit.

as a chick I complain that it's cold in our house, I've been known to watch TV wearing down. The average temp in the house is 10 Celsius, today we have the door open to let the "warm" outside air in (it's 15C out). I have had 3 orchids die due to the cold in the house. no issues in the bedroom......down duvet he can have the window open, i don't care.
On cleaning, I just had a cleaning fit. I was sick on not being able to get into the ski room due to the other half's shit every where. seriously if I wanted to get to my gear I'd have to climb over hope not to fall. I grew up in house hold that if you didn't pick your shit up, it was thrown out. So my brain picks my stuff up, I'd like to keep it please.
I love it when he vacuums and the living room is clean or I come home for working 13hr day and the house is clean including the kitchen, you have no idea how much I love this! I don't like working long hours and then have to shovel the path, put out the trash and compost and clean, this lesson was learned the hard way by him. Greeting me with trash and compost after working those said hours and having to shovel cause he couldn't be stuff = me fucking huge shitty mood and pissed for a while.
Hand bags? too many pairs of shoes? nope no problem in this house. never had lots of shoes growing up or now, as my dad use to say "you can only wear one pair of shoes at once". Wise man.
Things that Kinosoo has found works in his favor:
vacuums house = more head
cooked dinner = more head
Cleans up = more head
I come home to flowers = more head
March 14th is like a good day when one of these things are done, just with more steak.
I don't tell him he will get more head if he does these things, I just do it. If he has taken the time to make me happy then I'll return the favor that makes him really happy."So what's a homeless instructor do? Teach people how to build houses outta cardboard boxes and build good trash fires?" - Phuckhuck

the gf makes jokes about me having all the shoes but in my defense they each are needed for a specific purpose. biking (clipless), skateboarding (fat), climbing (crack, long routes, and face shoes), running, hiking, chacos, alpine and tele boots and then a pair to wear when i take her out to dinner. seems legit to me...

I lost this argument very early on:
Me: Why the hell do you need thirty-two different pairs of goddamn dress shoes?
Her: Hey jerkwad, how much did you spend on that last pair of custom ski boots?
Me: Um, about $900
Her: HA! I didn't spend that much on THIS ENTIRE COLLECTION!
Me: You win.

What's with the massive tp consumption? We've all got a couple of holes, but wait, what?

I love the practical advice and true words of wisdom that somehow for no reason pop up on here, and then develop a critical mass and following. This thread is worthy of being an all time classic on that list.
