Dinner tonight was a big ol' chicken breast seasoned with season salt
and grilled along with a couple of taters . We also had some fried okra
(picked today) and fried yaller squarsh (picked Monday) plus a sliced
tomato (picked yesterday) . After my wife finished her plate she walked
over to the "island" and commented that I didn't eat much (of the squash
and okra) , I told her I had what I wanted ... she brought the serving
dish back to the table and finished them both off . I love it when she
does something like that . Tomorrow we'll be canning another 6 or 7
quarts of tomatoes and maybe I'll have enough peppers to pickle a pint

Ive already picked 5 jalapeños, my dragon cayenne has at least 10 growing,
my habanero has 4 on it at the moment, my 2 ghost pepper plants are both in
glorious full bloom, but my cowhorn and Tabasco plants are all suffering
slow painful deaths.

I grow mine in pots - really tubs on my deck, 2 plants to a tub. I've
had them staked for about 6-7 weeks now. I'm kind of worried how they
will turn out as the peppers are clustered together like grapes. I've
got jalapeno, Anaheim's and a new to me pepper, not hot, called Jungle
Parrot.
https://www.burpee.com/vegetables/pe...rod500103.html
They are just beginning to get red.
I've used a bunch of the jalapeno's so far.
I wish I could make the tomatoes, peppers and cilantro all mature at
the same time.

How do you refer to her, apart from by her name? The wife?

She certainly isn't your wife. Does "my city" indicate that I own
Ann Arbor? (How do I give it back?)

That's just Sheldumb being Sheldumber . He's like the MSM when talking
about Trump , damned if he does and damned if he doesn't . If you recall
a couple of weeks ago he was all in a tizzy because I referred to her as
"the wife" .

You're not the first redneck here who refers to their wife as THE
wife... maybe you're THE wife... Terry is a female name, a nick for
Teresa.

It's also a nickname for Terence/Terrence; hence Terry.

there are a lot of people who think "my" only indicates possession,
forgetting (or never learning) that it also indicates association,
relationship, etc

Waddaya think "to have and to hold" means - just a bunch of words with no particular meaning?

And you didn't write this either. I'm glad to see you're getting a
grasp of the basics.

I thought it meant "to own and to enslave". But at least it's mutual.

I've always been married since I was 22 years old, and now 26 years
with number four. I've never been single very long, less than a year
between each. Women have always been very attracted to me, seems they
enjoy my sense of humor and they especially love my voice. I think
women are very attracted to men with a real man's voice. If the first
thing women hears is a whiney nasal voice and with long pauses between
words the guy hasn't a chance. Listen to The Donald, most of his
successs is credited to his speaking voice, he has perfect pitch and
perfect cadence... women can't resist. I also like a woman who speaks
well. and that she has a flawless complexion. My wife has a very nice
complexion but she is often jealous that my complexion is finer than
people half my age. She is constantly asking why I have no wrinkles
and why I have a mop Elvis would've been proud of. I also have much
nicer teeth than people half my age, I have all 32, only lost two
wisdoms, but I'm plenty wise enough, too wiseass for my own good. My
wife says that mostly it's my big baby blues that did it for her, and
she loves that I ogled her and still do every day. Any woman says
that after all the hundred$ they spend each month on hair, makeup,
clothes, dainties, etc. that they resent men ogling them is FOS! In
my world ogling is half the battle of getting into a woman's panties.
Time for truth, it's more difficult getting into a womans bra than
into her panties, and that's always been true since I've been fifteen
years old. American women hold their breasts more sacrocinct
far more than their vaginas. Most any fifteen year old girl will
sooner let a guy into her vagina than her bra. And I know why.

They must be crazy. I have no idea what you look like but I found your
voice to be very grating.

You don't give them a chance to get a word in edgewise!

What's he supposed to call her? You refer to your wife as "my wife"
(now that you admit to having one) all the time. In fact, you did so in
this very thread when you wrote "Each year substitute teaching in school
my wife hears some weird names". Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
