O.k, so the other day I had hung my log cabin quilted wall hanging above our sofa and my DH didn't notice it at all until he saw the fb posting of it.
THEN he says we need pillows. I ask him what kind of pillows and he says Throw pillows.
I look at him and tell him "we don't have throw pillows because you don't like throw pillows. Since when do you like throw pillows?"
"3/29/10" is his answer. He says he wants them so he has something to lay his head on when he sits back in the recliner part of our sofa (the one under our wall hanging, ;) )

SOOOOO.... today I made two throw pillows. One side with fabric that matches our sofa, the other side with fabric that is in the wall hanging, just strips of the various fabrics. I used a piping on the edges and they look nice.
I sat them on the sofa right where he sits so he CAN"T MISS THEM.
He comes home we go to eat supper on the sofa, he moves the pillows out of his way, and starts to sit down.

I say, "We have throw pillows now".
He looks at the pillows that he has just moved and says , "Sure enough, I didn't even notice."
I just shook my head and am still laughing!

Truly gotta love him!

That's too funny and just like a man! And you're right, you just have to laugh.

My DH was getting on me about something several years ago and my mother told him to lay off that it was just mood swings due to menopause. He did and after a day or two the moods left. The following month the same thing happened and when I said, "Just ignore me, it's menopause." He said, "MENOPAUSE!!! I thought you got over that last month." I looked him in the eye and very seriously said, "That statement is considered justifiable homicide in all 50 states and several foreign countries---you get away from me and do it right now!"
I'm so happy I'm over that--wasn't sure he or I either one would survive it.

A friend of mine has figured out the reason guys are soooo...dense...it is a genetic problem called MIG...Male Idiot Gene!!!

My husband was sent a utube thing last night that was some man explaining the differences between male brains and women brains. He said that men had boxes for everything and none of the boxes ever touched another box. They also have a NOTHING box for watching boring sports, doing monotonous tasks, etc. Women brains are made of wires and EVERYTHING was connected to everything else. It was a pretty funny video.

I have problems like that with my husband too. What to do. Life could be lemons all the time. I guess we only need to make lemonade sometimes. Isn't that life being married.

raptureready 03-31-2010 06:42 PM

What was that old country song?? something about You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em.

I guess mine isn't too bad. After all, he's got a lot to put up with. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that easy to live with. I've got a really wierd sense of humor and no concept whatsoever of time. I'm getting better at that though, I have a calendar that I use constantly.

sewnsewer2 03-31-2010 07:13 PM

LOL, so where's the pics??

They are brain damaged I tell you, simply brain damaged.

ctmhjenn 03-31-2010 10:47 PM

Hey, he gave it the "Man Look" and that is all we ever get!

danmar 04-01-2010 04:25 AM

Cute story! Sounds just like a man.

zyxquilts 04-02-2010 10:12 AM

That is too funny!
Personally, I think it's that broken chromosome they have. :wink:

belmer 04-02-2010 10:26 AM

That is so funny, made me laugh because I'm picturing my DH
doing the exact same thing. Its like going in the fridge to find somthing they knbow is in there, but they cannot find it becuase it's not right smack dab in front of them.

littlehud 04-02-2010 01:33 PM

So funny. He is such a guy.

MNQuilter 04-02-2010 01:45 PM

DH and I always joke about him looking "like a guy." I swear he can open a cupboard to find something, look and tell me that he can't find it. I will then proceed to tell him exactly where to look (mind you, this is usually across the house) and sure enough, he moves two objects and there it is!!!!!!! Men!

DH has 2 pillows in his recliner. Today I washed the cases and set the pillows back in his chair uncased. He didn't know what they were bc the cases were missing. MEN What would we do with out them.

carrieg 04-04-2010 03:57 PM

Cute story!

Once when we were getting ready to go somewhere, I was in the shower & DH was shaving. I asked 'what time is it?' DH said he didn't know. I told him to look at the clock next to the mirror. DH 'how long's that been there?'

gotta love 'em because you can't shoot them. LOL

amandasgramma 04-04-2010 05:00 PM

Cute .... My mother once bought a mattress set for their bed. Two years later (Yes, 2 yrs) my father mentioned they'd had the mattresses for a long time and do they need replacing. ROL! We STILL laugh about the look on his face when mom told him what she'd done.

They are posted under "Pillows he didn't notice"

Yep my thing was always how long it took them to manage a "honey do" project. Now that I have to do them, I find that the guys were pretty quick. lol.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

I mean would I notice if he bought a new tool even if the washer/dryer were in the garage/shop?

Or would I notice if he cleaned the grill?

In conjunction with DSB: Deadly Sperm Buildup. :mrgreen:

But seriously, gotta love 'em.

Olivia's Grammy 04-06-2010 05:11 PM

DH noticed the flannel sheets after sleeping on them for five months. THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK THEM OFF. He is a very good husband, just not observant (sp?)
