That is the only place I fear our marriage could end in divorce. He just doesn't get how to grocery shop MY WAY! <br /><br />I love this story!Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-74258546782175446172012-03-14T21:42:21.993-05:002012-03-14T21:42:21.993-05:00I laughed so hard at this one. Lines like: "...I laughed so hard at this one. Lines like: "The grandkids are the only ones who will voluntarily go to the store with him" had me in stitches. Honestly, I so admire the way you can use a conversational tone in your writing and make the reader laugh like there's no tomorrow.Mardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237463317290624819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-21589143150085115842012-03-14T20:53:12.715-05:002012-03-14T20:53:12.715-05:00In our house, whoever cares the most about a parti...In our house, whoever cares the most about a particular something is the one to do the research, and the other one goes along with it.

But, just like your husband, mine does do his research too. Can't complain, but do I really care about all the details? Nope. Does it do what it's supposed to do? Yup. Perfect let's get it. :) Thanks for sharing the insights! I now have advice for my husband: Narrow it done to three!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-40502960004578077802012-03-14T19:38:16.411-05:002012-03-14T19:38:16.411-05:00If my mother read this slice, she would think your...If my mother read this slice, she would think your husband is wonderful--she too is a companion shopper.

He does the very same thing. I never thought of telling him to wait until he narrows it down to three. That's a great idea! You just taught me something. I'd be happier too. I'm not sure about him, but maybe. Thanks for sharing. Happy Slicing! :)Spricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543099413489004583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-70008029851406267892012-03-14T14:39:56.434-05:002012-03-14T14:39:56.434-05:00Oh Deb, I live in this world too.

I have no idea, he disappears and reappears with the issue needed. As far as cars, just show me the one you like, I will like it. Said and done. We need to go leisurely, I didn't know I needed that shopping and leave the men to CR. You must have been that fly on the wall in our house.
