Coffee, haircuts and 7 times

So I just boil the grounds in an old enamel coffee pot on the stove. I like it strong so I add two scoops of Folgers.
Then I heat it up a cup at a time in the microwave. A pot usually lasts two days.
My wife likes those Kcups and makes hers a cup at a time. I did the math once and found that hers costs about 7 times more per cup than mine does.
Now I don't care how she spends her money. She works hard and earns every dime of it.
As to the haircuts; She left her debit card statement on the table the other day. I glanced at it and the first entry was for the beauty salon where she goes. So I did the math and came to the realization that both her coffee and haircuts cost about 7 times what mine do.
Funny how that works out.
Anyway, may God bless all our wives - 7 times and more.
 
Seems only fair. They are right 7 times more often than we are (so I've been told seven or eight times).
 
Well, in our case, my wife has easily 7 times as much hair as I do, so she can justify the extra cost....lol. Ben
 
I never could figure out those K-cup things and why they're so popular. Maybe people never really look at what it costs per cup, and the "cups" aren't exactly giant-sized either. As for haircuts, my wife has been cutting my hair for just over 40 years. Early on when the kids were at home back then and I was working, it used to result in a bit of an argument when I was a bit more fussy. Nowadays, I just let her go whatever which way and I leave the stool without even bothering to look.
 
I got ya beat on the haircuts right now,,,,Im completely bald...lol //We did the same with coffee,only use a coffemaker,I cant drink much coffee right now
 
We use seperate coffee makers, 5 cup for her decaf and a 5 cup for my regular. Grateful for a wife that at age 68 takes pride in her appearance. Could not replace her for seven times her value to me. Well, got to go now to fix my thinning hair, no, no backcombs for me, ha, ha.
 
The sad thing I can add that most women have seven times the health problems too over their lives. The good Lord create an amazing companion to bless our lives with. For that they get to experience things us males will never truly understand. The biggest being creating life.

So I just try to grin and nod my head YES whenever she wants something. LOL
 
Always scanning the ads for the pods. Found 80 pods for 19.99 at Christmas Tree Shop chain good till 7/23. Dollar General has them for 24 for 8.95. Buy three boxes and use the Saturday coupon for 5.00 off. I like my java.
 
Never could understand why people want to economize on their food and beverage. Food and drink is the fuel and lube that makes me go. "I won't use anything but Royal Purple in my crankcase, but I will pour day old swill into my body"
"I walk around looking like a moulting chicken rather than spend a bit on a decent haircut" Ask your wife what she truly thinks about your half shaven scraggly azz hair. Bet she would like yo to do things a bit different,if she is honest!
 
My wife uses those Kcups, I don't drink coffee.

I don't like the cost, but I tolerate it. I finally complained enough about wasting money on bottled water, she quit buying them.

But back when we were first married, I found a series of $100 beauty saloon visits! I hit the roof! No mas! So she's stuck with Walmart, or the Chinese lady at her simple shop, or I will do it! LOL
 
Wife and I both enjoy coffee , and drink it the same way , probably split three pots each day . Just buy a big can of Maxwell House of Folgers, or what ever is on sale , and run it through a drip style coffee maker .
When it comes to hair cuts , well my hair grows fairly fast , and I tend to get hair cuts that will last a while , wife can run the clipper over my bean , and take it down near the wood in the warm weather , and in the winter , I just let it grow till spring . What the heck ,I ain't no fashion plate movie star , no one is looking at me any way. Just to say that I did it , one year I went 365 days between hair cuts and beard trims . Looked like a wild man by spring . All of my brothers and my three sons are bald, makes them crazy.
My wife grow a thick head of naturally curly hair, and even though she is just 21 months away from being pension age , she still has her original hair colour , with only a few flecks of grey, so I get to save $$$ on perms and dye jobs, lol. Some times I cut her hair too , not like it is hard to do . Why waste $$ on these simple things?
 
I never drank much coffee until I joined the Navy. Coffee is one of the habits I still kept from those days. Wife bought one of the K cup machines. Kind of a waste of money, but I go along with it. I drink 4-5 cups a day, when I am around the house. I never drink it while on my tractor, too many things going on. I can remember my grandmother poring coffee in a small saucer plate, with a few sugar lumps, and drinking it that way. Maybe because it was hot? Or it was the Norwegin way from North Dakota. Stan
 
I haven't had a cup of coffee since 2001,took too much sugar to sweeten it up for me to be able to drink it and wasn't good for me and I get my full head of hair cut once every 2 months, it costs me $11.
 
JD Seller, you hit the nail on the head with CREATING LIFE. And it takes it's toll on a lot of women. From the time they reach puberty until a child is born, there is no way a man can realize what takes place in their bodies.

As far as hair cuts etc, wife has probably been to a beauty shop 5 times in our 61 years of marriage. Now I dye her hair and help her brush it etc due to her health.

I have gone through a few barbers. Fact is my barber retired and I got kind of shaggy and finally went to a young ladies beauty salon. When done, she announced, he's 80 years old and first hair cut by a woman.
 
My post was meant to be a light hearted jab at women in general and my wife in particular. So I don't know how you came to your reply.
But I do know that though I try to write clearly and concisely, once I hit that post button it becomes the right of each one of you to interpret it according to their mood and sense of humor - whatever that may be.
 
Ultradog,

LOL! Too funny...

And it's OK, because we all know how much you love
that little lady whom you found in the fullness of time. :)
 
Oh my, my wife's is way more then 7 times, first I don't drink coffee and she gives me my haircuts (of what I have left on the sides of my head, none on top)!
 
I came up in the late 70's and 80's. Back then a womans hair made a statement. My wife always had the Farrah Fawcett look but longer in the back. That takes a lot of maintenance but it's worth every penny. Plus the whole social experience women get at the salon perks them up for days after.
 
I know exactly what you mean. My wife can throw more stuff out the back door with a teaspoon than I can bring in the front door with a scoop shovel.
 
Well my thoughts are like this.
Using the K-cup system at our house worked good for my wife and I. Neither of us liked strong coffee. Solution for that was this: place a 2 quart measuring cup under the spout and insert the K-cup. Make it using the large cup button then take out the cup and run the large cup button again and we each had a 10 oz cup that was strong as we liked it.

As for the haircut situation. My wife worked for 34 years with the DFACS system in the state of Ga. She brought home a paycheck that equaled mine many times and still kept a reasonably neat house,cooked, cleaned, washed everybody's clothes and raised our 2 girls. She also found time for 23 years to be the organist for our Church. So I never begrudged her looking nice. I was always proud of how she looked. I liked being seen with an attractive woman. In 2015 she died of an inoperable brain tumor that is the same as John McCain has been publicly diagnosed with. I was blessed to have had her for 48 years of marriage and 2 years of courting before she married me. My take is; enjoy them while you have them and always tell hem you love them if you do because you never know when something may take them or you away. We always made it a habit to kiss goodnight before we went to sleep and tell each other we loved one another. Glad I did it that last night before she succumbed to the tumor because I never go to do it again. You never know what you have sometimes until it is gone.
