WTF Thursday

My hubs is a word geek. He gets a txt every morning giving him a new word, it's definition and a sample sentence. He uses it at least once during the day. He loves learning new words, loves expanding his vocabulary. He sorta blogs, he hasn't been lately. We were talking about something and I said he should blog about it. He proceeds to tell me "I'm not blogging that. I'm not going to blog anymore. I think I'm going to delete the whole thing." I freak out a lil, tell him not to do that, I said,"Blogging can be very cathartic." He stops cold. Looks at me like "You're not my word of the day. WTF do you think your doing using a big word like that before I use it?" Then he proceeds to tell me he will never use that word. Now I'm the one looking at him like WTF! I say,"You mean to tell me just because I used a big word that you haven't used yet means you won't ever use it? All because I said it first?" Him,"Yes." WTF?!

I have another one from him. 2 WTF's both happened within an hour of each other. Not only is my hubs a word geek he is a tech geek too. Let me just take the opportunity now to say that geek is sexy. He loves his mac book pro, and his i-phone more than me. I asked him again how much his i-phone cost. He said 300. I started to ask him why the hell he got that one when he could have waited for the new gen and could get it for a hundred less. He starts babbling, "How was I supposed to know,blah,blah,blah." I say,"So, I could get a new gen i-phone for 199?" He goes on to school me that the only way to get one for that price is to upgrade the old gen i-phone. That I would still have to pay 300 for the new gen i-phone. But that I will not be getting a new gen i-phone. Here starts the WTF. I start doing the math in my head as to what our monthly cell bill would be if we both had i-phones. We discuss it. He tells me, "What we can do is I'll go into AT&T and upgrade my i-phone and you can have mine." Me, "Uh, NO! I'm going to get the new gen i-phone, you already have an i-phone." He blows a gasket, spewing things like, "You couldn't even find a file on your computer, You wouldn't even USE half the features on it. It would be such a waste in your hands." I tried asking him what features he thinks I wouldn't use. The only thing he mentioned was some GPS thingy. He didn't tell me any others because by that point he was too flustered at the thought of me having the new gen i-phone and not him. WTF?!!

One more WTF for the day. It's a picture.Do you see all the propane tanks behind the fireworks tent? The gas station right next to all the fucking explosives? What about the propane truck filling up with gas? What you don't see are some big ass fucking full tanks of propane off to the left of the picture. Wait. may I have a picture that shows them better. Click it to big it!WTF?!!

OMG. Our men are so freaking related. I think you hacked into my computer and stole my thoughtz.

I also have been told that I will be getting his old iPhone when the new one comes out. To which I responded that I didn't want the old iPhone. I don't want the new one. I don't want a stupid iPhone because they break if you look at them wrong. Apparently, that was not the right answer... Continuing fight in my humble domicile.

Sounds like the hubby needs to put his big boy panties on and deal with it. That and I just wanted to type big boy panties.

I love my iPhone (old gen). Also - I don't think "cathartic" is a big word. Heh.

for starters, the new iphone IS $199 and the hubs is full of shit.

you can upgrade the software on an old gen, but YOU NEVER WILL HAVE THE FASTER NETWORK.

get the new one for yourself, hon. you wont be sorry. i SO love mine. i'm NOT sorry i didn't wait for the new gen. i'm fine with what i have. and you dont have to be a tech genius to get value and worth from having the damned thing.

and hubs? bite me. (well, no. dont bite ME. that would be weird, but you get what i mean.)

You had me giggling at each one of those. Why won't he use the word now? What a dork! I guess he can't say your name because you said it first I'm sure.

On the phono situation I am lucky enough that hubs always gives me the newest one.

I don't think I'd drive by that firework stand anymore. Doesn't seem the road would be safe.

Ha ha! He's pretty darned slippery isn't he?

And for the record, not all men are the same, I always get mi wife's hand-me-down phones.

The photos should be on a "what's wrong with the picture" puzzle. It looks ALL wrong. Steer clear! :)

I used to get the "word of the day" emailed to me and I made each of my co-workers use it in a sentence each day. I'm a word geek too. But I'm not a tech geek at all. I don't even text on my cell phone because it makes me feel a little insane.

I don't know what is wrong with the male species. I swear divorce is ringing in my ears these days. Let's hope it's just a faze. :-)
