There's an excuse for every suggestion. WG, 100 posts and no resolution.
Time to close?

Judy, you were helpful then started being pretty nasty to me. I am trying to be a good husband here.
Wondergirl, you're living up to your name, however. :)
Close the thread, but can I please get an answer to one more question?
My concerns about the word "fine" can someone address that?
Thanks.

Actually, I called myself that when I registered for this site because in Libraryland and in counseling I wonder a lot about people and situations and stuff. Since 1998 when I joined my first web site and community, I've always been CeeBee which I wish I could change my name to here.

If your wife made chocolate chip cookies and you ate several still warm from the oven, with gooey, melty chocolate, and told her they are "fine," what would she think?

I wouldn't say they were fine. I'd say they were good. That's kind of my point.
I'd say "fine" if they were average and I think she'd know that they were acceptable but not great.

Hit "enter" too soon. I did in fact do that. We were making Christmas cookies and they got a little burned. She knew they were a little burned.
I said "they're a bit burned but fine." That did not mean the same thing as if I'd have said they were great or good.

Here you go...
"Fine"
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
[This is just for fun... or is it.]

You know though, maybe the reason I think this is that I have a more expressive, enthusiastic personality than she does. Not a bad or good thing, just a difference between us.

I'm not being "pretty nasty." You post on a public board you get all sorts of opinions and answers.
By the way - I'm an investigator. I have great "spidey senses." Someone came to me with your story and I know exactly how I'd proceed.
But that's for another thread.

You mean you think I'm lying or making stuff up? Believe me, I'm not.

I'm not getting that. You said sit down and talk (over coffee was how you said you do it) and then not to ask her "how it was" since I do it too much.
I get that. I'm not sure why you think I 'get a thrill' out of posting stuff. I am trying to answer questions.
What do you mean by how you'd proceed? As the husband, or the wife?
