Two weeks ago I took DH to the eye Dr. and he had to get glasses! The whole 9 yards, progressive bifocals, glare resistant etc: Now he has needed them for about 3 years, but wouldn't go, used the drug store cheapies and had about a dozen pair of them, everywhere around the house and in the car and truck. If we went out to dinner, he never could read the menu, and never knew what the price of anything was in the stores. I got tired of being his "Guide Dog", so made him the appointment with my DR. Well, the questions started, "will he put anything in my eyes?" "is it going to hurt?", "what kind of frames should I get?" " don't want them to be noticeable!" etc:
For the next 3 days he moped around, and I could tell something was wrong!You know what I mean, just like a kid who is unhappy. I finally ask him what in the world was wrong and he said, and I quote!! "I'm getting old!!!" After stroking his ego for about an hour , because you all know what a nice person I am, I got fed up and said "GET OVER IT!!!"
He finally picked them up yesterday and came home with them on. I never said a word, just pretended I didn't notice them. Finally he said, "You never even noticed my glasses or said a word!!!"
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Couldn't help myself!

Men are such babies!
:wink:

well, he didn't want them to be noticed, did he?

I told him they would distract from that bald head of his! :wink:

Yea, they can be babies at times.
When my hubby is in the bed sick, I sleep on the couch. Can't stand listening to him moan and groan. lol
Then I tell him to go see Doc and if he doesn't I'm going to call Doc and dime him out. lol

Terri, I love that expression "dime"LOL never heard it before mare stare!!

I know What you mean. Mine Has to go in for Day surgery foe his sinus. Is it going to hurt, how can anyone breath without their nose. Of a week of listening to this I asked why are you doing it then. He has not said a word about it YET.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Oh NO you DIDN"T :lol: :lol: :lol:
You are soooooo BAD :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Terri, last weekend our DS and DIL came to spend Sat. night. They brought their dog with them. They didn't get her until 10:00 at night and Mortimer didn't have time to get used to having another dog here before bed time1 We took him upstairs to bed and he stood at the door and whined until midnight. I finally got up and went down stairs and slept on the couch, so he could sleep with his Daddy in our bed! The things we do to have a little peace! :lol: :lol:

My DH doesn't think he wears glasses as he doesn't wear them all the time :shock: . He should be wearing bifocals full time but won't because he "doesn't wear glasses!" Of course he has sets of glasses all over the house and in our cars and when he was working in the office, company car and his brief case. He has the glove compartment of my car filled with 3 pairs of his glasses; distance for driving, reading for general seeing and sun glasses in case they are needed.
Vanity your name is MEN! May in Jersey

They are so funny. As if glasses make you old. I wear glasses and I'm not old.....Just don't ask my kids if I'm old. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They can be sew cute about not being able to see!

you're not old.....you're 'broken in'. :lol:

If that's the case...I'm broken in....too many places to count....broken in my back....in my hips....shoulder :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll have to use that on DH, just broken in! :lol: :lol:
His little toe hurt last night and I had to make him a pan of Epsom salts water to soak it in! He's only 57, not near over the hill, but try convincing him of that, all because of glasses! :lol: :lol:
He even said to me, You are going to go to the eye doctor with me aren't you? I said yes, but he would have to go in by himself!
He is a doll and does tend to spoil me, but sometimes HE drives me crazy.

If his toe hurts again tonight....bring him the epsoms salt pan....some large sticks, a roll of gauze , first aid tape and duct tape....fix him up and when he asks what the duct tape is for you tell him for the next time he bi*&%es about his foot :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ROFL!!! DH just ask me what I was laughing at so hard!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Dont Tell Him It Was ME :shock: :shock: :shock: I may get to come and visit sometime....don't want him meeting me at the door with a BIG roll of duct tape :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You're safe!!! :wink:
DH does have it in all colors! :shock:

Typical man. My husband wont wear his hearing aid because I dont have one. The difference being he needs one and I dont. I swear he use to talk real soft so I would think I needed one. Finally after going and having my hearing checked twice I told him to get over it-you are old and I'm not. I never knew he was so vain. Same with the hair. He has more gray then I do so he swears I dye mine.But I dont. Silly men.

have you read this one yet??? Don't know if DH would appreciate it or not... :wink: :roll:

I can't believe you had your hearing checked twice because of him!!!

I showed that to DH last week and he said "of course it eas the man's fault!" :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ninnie I am so with you on the big baby front. When my DH has a cold OMG! the world must stop! HE whines and acts like a 5 year old.I hear constantly, honey! can you get me tissues, can you get me a drink, can you get me this, can you get me that. You would swear he was dieing!. When I have a cold.. He tells me to tough it out..

MEN!

:lol: :lol: :lol: DH always says, "baby, come and feel my head and see if I have a fever." And of course I do it! :wink:

When we were newly married...my ex would get a cold, he'd lay on the couch...moaning...I would ignore him :roll: he'd moan louder...I'd chuckle to myself from the other room....he would keep it up, louder and louder, until either I would come in and offer the proper amount of sympathy :roll: :roll: :roll: or the neighbors would be pounding on the wall wondering what all that racket was :lol: :oops: :oops: :lol:

My husband keeps on about how old he is getting. He is nearly 3 years YOUNGER than I am................what does that make ME!!!

Smarter!!!! You KNOW age is just a number :lol: :lol: :wink: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: A Cougar!!!
DH is 2 years younger than me and he never let's me forget it! :wink:

ROLMAO!!! I been divorced, widowed and now married a third time....and they're ALL alike!!! LOL LOL :mrgreen:

BUT -- I'M the one that loses my $1.00 reading glasses all over the place!! LOL I had lasix surgery and refuse to wear full glasses just because I need them for reading.

they're not lost. they're....hhmmm....waiting for you. and your eyes are resting. yeah, that's it.

There ya go!...fits mine to a T!
He has hearing aids, but still plays the tv LOUD! So I am about 7-8 feet from him....there is a little piece of wall, sticking out, past his chair, but other than that...I am right there...call to him, very loudly, change my pitch even...LOW, cause he claims the ear doctor told him, his hearing loss is in the range of a woman's voice :shock: !...yeah right!
Then, when he finally mutes the tv, he YELLS at me...WHAT??? in an irritated tone...why is HE irritated???? I'm the one going hoarse....
neigh!!! neigh!!! :roll:

wow, duct tape, comes in other colors?...besides gray?
hubby must be a redneck! lol!
I've even seen a purse made out of it.

It means to squeal on him, like a stuck pig :lol: :lol: :lol:

i think 'dime him out' mean the same as 'drop a dime on him'. meaning, call and tell on him. except that a call costs more than a dime today.

Every color under the rainbow...even a pretty bright pink :wink: 8) 8) 8) (grey, not pink) 8)

My son raided mine when he was 16 to make himself a wallet :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: It means, you may be older than him chronologically, but mentally, he has passed you. He thought himself old!
