How many of us can honestly say we're masters in our own home?

A very good boss of mine once repeated the line, "One man in a hundred is a leader of men, the other ninety nine are followers of women", (so that's 99% of you/us ruled out!).

Do we expect to largely rule what happens in our own homes these days, "who has charge of the tv remote control in your house",(the ultimate test. :) ! )?

No television in our home anymore, but I am the master of all things house and kitchen, and hubby knows it... he knows where his next mouthwatering meal is coming from as well as his neatly pressed dress and sports shirts, I rest my case.

No tv,................. :oops::cry::rolleyes:!
You harsh lady, though you're maybe a lot happier, (is hubby permitted to use a radio from time to time? :unsure:)

LOL!

Looking in from the outside I can see where some might think what a sad state of affairs in Aunt Marg's home, but being ripped every month for a signal so we could surf through endless channels of nothing, repeats, and programming that didn't interest us, the decision was made to cut the cable, and we haven't looked back or regretted it once.

We have radio, internet, but hubby isn't much for that sort of thing, he's most happy when he's out and about outdoors, and while we plan on buying another television, we will never sign up for cable service again, not ever.

With today's technology, they'll be plenty we'll get to see, and with the $100 (plus) dollars a month saved, we'll be able to treat ourselves to Saturday nights in style with popcorn and treats while we're watching a favourite flick.

No TV anymore? Good for you Aunt Marg. I got rid of my cable 20 years ago. Can't stand the advertising and can't stand most of the shows. I buy DVDs from Amazon but limit my viewing. People are being ripped off. With all that advertising, cable companies should pay people to watch TV. Some pay $150/month. That's madness!

Are you only any good at those things your wife is less good at, or are there areas of your life where both are equally adept, for example the operation of a TV remote? (/hoofer roofer, The zapper, The flipper, or tv remote control. :) !)
