Just remembered another…  
I hate eyes… and anything that has to do with them. Close-up of an eye on TV, watching someone fiddle with a contact lens, even writing about it now is starting to make MY eyes water.

To which GrizzWife would respond “OH! Would you JUST GET OVER IT!?”

Yeah… like it’s that easy.

When Tammy was still living,  
she never did mean things to me.

The worst we ever irritated each  
other, was before grindage,  
we could be both boogerfaces  
to each other but after eating  
we said we were sorry and  
went to play.

**Spider Woman** says I snore.  
But I have yet to hear any proof.  
She wakes me up and says “Your snoring.”  
I listen, and say “I don’t hear anything, you must be dreaming” and then I go back to sleep.

Re the nose licking - if he really hated it, I wouldn’t do it. As it is, he pretends to be icked out, and then we have a fun play fight.

I don’t recycle. Drives him nuts.

I also answer questions before he’s done asking them. He CLAIMS that he wasn’t even asking whatever I just answered, but when I do actually let him finish? Yeah, it’s the same answer I already gave. MAN, does that piss him off…

I was never aware of this before **DanielWithrow** pointed it out to me, but apparently I don’t give yes/no answers to yes/no questions.

Him: Do I need to iron this shirt?

Me: Well, it is pretty wrinkly.

Him: So should I iron it?

Me: I would.

I’m trying not to do this, but it’s hard.

1. I grind coffee every morning and when I take the grounds out to put in the press, _sometimes_ some grounds get on the counter top. If I don’t wipe them up immediately, I hear about it.

2. I don’t always remember to lock the front door. This leads to a lot of door opening, followed by gasps and a look of, “WE COULD HAVE BEEN ROBBED!”

3. I tickle her and grab at her which can suprise her.

4. She thinks I have too many pillows.

5. If she sits down on the couch next to me, I readjust because I can’t stand my body leaning one way or the other or being tipped. She thinks I’m moving away from her.

Who knows, probably more! 😃  
Tibs.

This doesn’t happen during foreplay, mind you, but sometimes, just when we’re talking in the kitchen or something, she just is so pretty and desirable, and I just want to touch her. Not fair to her, though, it’s her body. Anyway, she hates it.

My husband does this too. At first it annoyed me, but now I just let it go. I know I have nice boobies, how can I blame the guy for wanting to grab them? Shoot, I play with them myself.

I like to sleep with a fan on for the sound. Not everyone does… I also like air conditioning, she never seems to be too hot.

She gets even with me by leaving closets and drawers open. _mumble_ born in a barn _mumble_
