Doesn't that violate one of baseballs stupid unwritten rules? Be interesting to see if Miami beans some Braves when next they meet.

It took 10 years to get it done. She’s stuck with me now. We had a nice little private ceremony on the campus of IU

@ColtsFan Congratulations! Allow me to share some thoughts with you that I share among my family when they get married. I hope you find both humor and some advice here:

Rules for New Husbands

or

Things you will learn after 20 28 35 years of marriage.

 

#1    You are always wrong. Get over it. Embrace it. Own it.

#2    What she says is NEVER what she means.

Books could be written here. Just do your best learning to read her mind. Keep rule #1 in the back of your thoughts.

#3    Taking out the trash is your job.

#4    She directs the kitchen and the loading of the dishwasher. It’s somehow imprinted on her chromosomes.

#5    If you buy a dog, get a female. They don’t hike their legs on her flowers.

#6    When you hear the phrase, “We need to talk.” – It’s your butt. You are in trouble for something.

#7    Her money is “hers”. Your money is “ours”.

#8    If she ever tells you, “Do whatever you want” – under no circumstances is it actually okay to do whatever you want to do. See rules #1 and #2.

#9    Hang up your towels and put your dirty clothes in the laundry. Your life will be easier.

#10   Wash some dishes. Your life will be easier. Be careful and refer to rule #4.

#11   Remember birthdays and anniversaries. If you forget, and she says, “That’s OK”, refer to rule #2 AND rule #1.

#12   Buying gas for the lawnmower is your job – even if she fills up her own car every time. Don’t try to figure it out.

#13   You are supposed to know how to fix everything. She thinks it’s imprinted on your chromosomes.

#14   She will leave out every beauty aid and makeup appliance she owns – but you better put your stuff away.

#15   Rinse the sink after you shave. Your life will be easier.

#16   When the time comes, learn to change diapers. The crap in the diapers is easier to live with than the crap you will stay in if you don’t.

#17   Tell her you love her even when you’re not trying to get out of trouble.

#18   Flowers at Valentine’s Day are mandatory. Send her flowers sometimes for no particular reason.

#19   Remember that when you feel like you are making 90% of the sacrifices, doing 90% of the work, and taking 90% of the *$#@!, - she feels the same way. You are probably just now doing your share.

#20   Put the lid down. I know, it makes no sense to you. You had to lift it, why can’t she put it down? Besides, when you leave it up, it’s proof you DID lift it. Just do it. Your life will be easier.

#21   She WILL make you mad at times. The good news is, that’s why they make golf clubs, bass boats, deer rifles, motorcycles, etc…

#22   NEVER go shopping with her if you can avoid it. Remember  rule #2 as she says, “I only need a couple of things.”

 

And when you cannot remember the rules, remember this:

Have some fun with her every day. You are sharing your life with her. When times are tough, remember what brought you together. Trust in God. Remember the covenant of marriage, and remember that maintaining a marriage requires a daily dose of effort.

 

                                         Important Vocabulary

 

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women’s way of saying @%*!! YOU!

9. Don’t worry about it; I’ve got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to #3.

My wife and I just delivered our daughter last Thursday so spending the week at home taking care of the family and today I made us all a beef brisket. With a newborn and a two year old in the house I’m not sure how much free time I’m going to have to do these for the next several months, so we will savor every bite!

@ApexPredator - congrats on the major life changing event.  Glad all are doing well and you were able to crank out some top quality brisket.  Always remember, you are the parent, age be da-ned.  
Great outcome and the results are even more impressive given the timing.  You have been holding back around here.  Nailed it!

Very cool video.  Love watching/learning from people way outside my experience and sphere.  Open pit cooking is awesome.
