This IS NOT a politcal post................................but it could be.If I ever have a disagreement with someone on whom is to blame (think wife here) I always try to trace it back to the ROOT CAUSE,NOT the EFFECT. For instance, let's say my wife comes out into the garage on Saturday morning, (BTW this has never happened

). So she comes out in the garage where I am piddling round tying up lures, changing hooks, replacing line etc...... 

She says" come on Minner, let's go to the grocery store and buy groceries for next week" 

I say" Awwwwww, Mrs Minner, I don't want to...I got line, and hooks, and rods, and reels, laying everywhere.....why don't you just go without me while the kiddy takes a nap. (this sometimes works BTW) That way you can take your time and don’t have to rush......" 

She says" Ok that would be OK I guess, since you're not going, do you want me to get you anything specific SINCE YOU ARE ON A DIET?" 

I say" Noooooo I don’t guess, I can deal with whatever you get. I won't be too picky" 

A couple hours later Mrs. Minner returns and I start helping unload the groceries, when I spot some Reese's Peanut butter Easter Eggs...(Minner loves Reese's). "Hey there Mrs Minner." "Yeah" "What ya doing buying the devil candy? You know I'm on a ^(&%* diet." 

She says, "You said to get 'whatever' so I saw these eggs and had to have'em" 

I say, "Well don’t you think that was a little inconciderate seeing how I'm on a DIET?!?!?" 

The following ensues 

Minner, you such a *(&^(*&%&^$%^#$*&^%(&*%&^$#^%@%@##&$&^%*&%(&*^)&^^)&^&^)^ 

Mrs Minner if you weren't always ()&^)*&^(^%&^$&*%(*&*&)(&*" 

")(^)*&^)*&^*&%^*(" 

"()*&(&*^(*&%%#$^#&^%" 

"(*&^%^%$#^*(" 

")(&^%^%^#%@*@*(@"
"(**^@&^@))@(*&@*#&" 

(just kidding

) 

So what is the moral of the story? Who's fault was it? Mrs. Minners right? Well........not exactly 

You see, Mrs. Minner did know I was on a diet, but at the same time I told her to go ahead without me to the grocery store, as I could deal with whatever she got. I was busy so I didn’t want to deal with it. 

The problem was once she got into "shopping mode" anything else went out the window. 

So who's fault was it really? REALLY? MINE. You know why........????????? Because I let her go to the grocery store.

I would rather do this than score data myself. I did eyeball those Reeses' Eggs the other night, and I dont know how I overcome temptation.

Minner, I still remember that picture you posted of your wife holding a catfish a couple of years ago. Whatever she did, I agree with her
