Easy does it Thom, we'll have no talk like that. It's that damn rain,
it's getting to you. Go somewhere where the sun is shining for a
while. You'll probably pull that boat off the market.

The whole Seattle area is depressed right now, over their
superbowl loss. Hope Thom didn't lose too much money on the game.

Yes it is.
Deadly serious in some cases!

Actually it's one of the better places I know of. Is that a
compliment to the group, or a sad commentary on the rest
of the world?

However, if you think that "I have a fear of sailing with my husband"
is a question, then you will be dissappointed.


Do you have a question?


Of course. You just have to parse the original poster's
words correctly. And "I have a fear of sailing with my
husband" is indeed a question. We just need a little more
information to zero in on a quantitative answer. Is the
primary issue sailing/husband, or fear/husband... or if it's
fear/sailing, then what can the husband do to reclaim his
wife's attention(s)?

You all don't get 'Car Talk' over there, do you?

No, it isn't!! It is a statement of fact.

It says that the lady's husband is untrustworthy.

My wife, who isn't a sailor, trusts me when I tell her what to expect. I
suspect that your wife trusts you to tell the truth.

There are many men who take their wives out sailing in inappropriate
conditions .... and they later regret the fact that their wives won't go
sailing with them.

The primary issue is "husband". If the man was trustworthy, then the wife
would not be worried about going sailing with him.

I don't think so.. If it is a TV programme, then I wouldn't know. I've
given up watching it!

Every statement of fact is also a question, if you look at
it right.

Agreed.

Yes, she does. She reserves the right to test my statements
though

There are also a lot of men who
1- don't know how to sail very well
2- don't take their wives' feelings into account (and this
goes for far more than taking them sailing)

Agreed, but more to the point the man should be either a
good sailor *and* willing to work at getting his wife to
like sailing, *or* have an attitude such that they can enjoy
learning together.

Smart move. But 'Car Talk' is a radio program where people
call in to ask advice about problems with their car, and
often the calls involve spouses. It's hilarious.
