wife repellant

WIFE REPELLENT
Before we begin today, I have an ad I'm running for a loyal minion. I should have posted it a week ago but I kept forgetting about it. You can reply to my e-mail address, jimd303@netzero.com and I'll forward it. Within reason I don't mind doing this for others.
AT Library, Source Book, and 120v/12v briefcase reader for $1,250.00. Shipping included in continental USA

I have an AT Library on Microfiche available that will provide you with all the info you will need to set up a library for your community. It contains 1000 books, with over 136,000 pages filled with explicit step by step directions and illustrations. It covers everything you can imagine. Microfiche are plastic cards, 11 cm by 15 cm, which contain very small photographic images of the pages of books. Each microfiche card can hold 100 or more pages of information. A microfiche "reader," which operates much like a slide projector, is then used to view the pages. This is the real deal.
Click here for more information http://y2kchaos.entrewave.com/view/y2kchaos/s35p315.htm . Serious inquiries only.
My Note-this might seem excessive, but consider all you are getting for less than the cost of a plastic carbine.

Wife Repellent. Do you want to get rid of the wife? Move off grid. It's not 100% guaranteed but pretty darn close. I toyed with the idea of whether I should share this with you or not. Eventually all my personal experiences end up as subject matter for my writing, but as this just happened and I wasn't convinced it was over, I delayed sharing it. Well, now I can. The wife left me two weeks ago. We've had increasingly worse problems as the years have gone by. Two years ago or thereabouts we had broken up for a short time. Despite my facade of an uncaring and cynical bastard I was pretty messed up about it. There were still serious feelings involved. Which I guess is why we got back together. Well, nothing was resolved and shortly thereafter we just started having the same problems. I know I tried my best and I'm sure she felt the same way. Perhaps we had just grown apart too far. Well, by moving out to Elko to the African Trailer Park, all the problems we were having intensified dramatically.
*
Looking back over it, I'm surprised she stayed here as long as she did. A little over six months, most of them pretty cold with limited propane use. I felt that our standard of living was little changed. We had two toilets instead of one ( and you had to be careful not to throw any TP down the grey water one ). We could only use one light at a time. The heater couldn't be run at night. I didn't think we were that bad off. The wife even started agreeing with me after following the news that perhaps we were up a major crap creek without a paddle. I guess I was fooling myself that she saw the need to live out here. I don't know if she even consciously acknowledges why she left. Perhaps she thinks I overreacted to a standard fight. Maybe she wasn't planning on leaving. But after a fight I had told her we were done with. I had reached my limit putting up with the same crap. The same fight. I didn't kick her out, she doesn't work and has no where to go. Okay, understandably she doesn't want to live here after I'd "broken her heart". The way I was looking at it, her daughter had just divorced her husband and gotten her own apartment a week earlier. It was almost as if she was picking a fight and looking for an excuse.
*
I know I'm hard to live with, and perhaps this is all my fault. I concede the possibility. But I'm always leery of coincidences. But to continue, she called this weekend. We almost had a civil conversation. Almost. It's hard after ten years not to feel betrayal and hurt. And I felt nothing talking to her. Only relief that it is over. So I knew it wasn't a repeat of two years ago. Well, marriage number four down the crapper. Other than the therapeutic purge I get talking all this out, why do I share this with you? I think that after guns, one of the most widely worried about topics is how relationships are affected by stepping outside the norm and prepping as if the end of the world is at hand. I've shared my relationship problems with you before. I doubt you care overly much. But perhaps you can get an idea of how things might go for you by my pathetic life laid bare. Now, another thing to understand is that when I met my last wife, I was prepping for Y2K. I'm talking about shopping every week, sometimes spending a $100 at a time. She wasn't suddenly waking up to me panicking last year. This has been ongoing since we met. .
*
So, perhaps a good thing to remember is that other people sometimes just can't wrap their mind around this whole concept. They humor you, at best, until you cross some unseen line and then they strike back. Well, take from this what you will. Either I pushed an innocent long suffering spouse too far, or you can conclude most wives won't move away from indoor plumbing.

I really am sorry to hear this James, I have been going through the same situation(plus two kids). She hasn't left yet but close.

Can I insert a bit lightness in to the situation? At least you will only have to haul half the amount water home. Did she ask for half of the wheat and beans?

Hope things get better for you.

Thats sucks man. What are you going to buy with the beer money?

I bet you can find another one pretty easy, there are lots of gals that want nothing more then a simple man that doesn't drink and that goes to work everyday. Hey maybe you could get one of those granola eating types that would take pride in raising rabbits or chickens and planting date trees on your property. I would think date trees would do ok in Nevada. How cool would it e if she also rode a bike and had a job she could stay in shape grow food and make money. Try a add on craigslist.

Maybe the other minons/cunts could help guive you some sugjestions for personal adds for graigslist.

... WIFE WANTED>>> must be able to bath with a gallon of water or less per day, must like spam and enjoy snuggling on cold nights.
me I'm employed and own my own home I enjoy long bike rides and pooping in a bucket. ...

you get the Idea, I would love to some some other suggestions for personal adds for James, (this could be fun I will try to have a better personal add for tomorrow)

Hang in there man and keep up the good work.

I am sorry to hear that the wife moved on. But You are correct in the base statement of moving off grid will kill your marriage unless she is as totally committed as you are. This is hard for women to do after a life time of being on grid.

Some 25 years ago when we moved here in the boonies we had teenaged children. 13 and 14, girl and boy. I proposed not having a telephone or electricity. We tried it for the first summer while the house was shell was being built. 2 1/2 months off grid. I can tell you that by month 3 we had both telephone and electricity.

Now we are close to total retirement SHE is telling me that we need to get solar rolling alot more, and we really don't need a land line phone when we totally retire. So Dudes COMPROMISE is the answer. Have her agree to try for a couple of summer months, if she goes along then fine, but be willing to get her electric and phone if she just cannot do it.

Wifes!!! Give it a try...

No Name (you know why.)

Ah well. Hopefully after number 4, you've learned yer lesson! Ha ha, there's somethin' to be said for bachelorhood... Wimmin are a fickle bunch. Like ya said, she knew you are a prepper from the get-go, so she shoulda known what she was gettin' into. Hmmmmmm, maybe I could just pull out the main breaker, and shut the water valve.... Heh heh heh. Nah, I wouldn't do that.....

PLEASE SEND PICTURE OF BOAT.

At least you kept her around for the first six months, mine left as soon as she learned of my plans to move off-grid and into my trailer.

She packed her shit and out the door she went. I have never been happier. Like getting rid of a 120 pound tumor.

It would be great to have soneone that thought and believe as I do. That loved living out here as much as I do, but I would rather be by myself then deal with a whining complaining type.

GOOD LUCK JIM

well, i'm not going to give any relationship advice. however, i wonder if Jim's relationship problem was because the ex was out in the middle of no where...

In EDGES OF THE EARTH Richard Leo moved to Alaska to do the Bradfod Angier thing and live in a wilderness cabin. his ex moved to town to be nearer other people and joined some church or other. Richard went on the drive a cab and pimp to pay for his cabin.

Also, i had some friends who sold their tract house and bought a camper. so they worked and traveled for a few years but then the ex moved in with one of the kids.

so there you go: pay for a flusher, a phone, live in a good neighborhood where the woman can make some friends, and own, preferably, a big late model expensive car...

yeap, kiss your paycheck goodbye and say hello to a lifetime of debt, or just go to the store and buy a copy of PLAYBOY or HUSTLER...

otherwise just fly out to VEGAS, there's plenty of chicks there who will tell you: "you have a big dick"...etc

okay, so all women aren't that bad and all politicians aren't crooked... :>)

My idea is to leave the comfort of civilization "after" everything goes to hell and I am forced to, not before. I just want to be prepared to live an alternative life style if I have no choice.

Cart before the horse?

Let's see, exchange a good woman (and some modicum of civilized comfort) for loneliness out in the middle of no-where where it's either too hot or too cold?

Hey Jim.

If I was you I'll consider VLAD for a partner.

He admires you so much. he'll give a kiss on the rear and on the front each morning.

he'll do the typing for you, he'll give a new computer. he will keep the archives neatly. he is the best partner.

Try it, you might like it.

Or in the other hand, go for dementedNH. He's wild.
Brrrr--- I'm afraid.

Jim, Sorry to hear about your forth wife leaving you. WHAT.......Your forth wife? You should have learned your lesson after the first. My God man, are you nuts? You live a hermit lifestyle. Below the poverty line. You cannot expect to support yourself and a wife. Girlfriend yes. If she works and makes more money than you do. Hard to find one that is willing to poop in a bucket unless she's a junkie.
I like your blog. I like your writing style. I like the info you impart. I kinda like you...Kinda. Please don't get married again. G.C.

Unfortunately this is reality for many of us either on the grid or off of it.

Sorry James about your wife leaving, maybe you'll have better luck next time around.

My wife is bugging me to get us completely off the grid. About 80% there.

She buys me guns for my B-day.

Agreed to live in a tent for 6 months of the year.

Lets me use her car to experiment with alternative fuels.

Pearl beyond price. 30 years marriage and still having fun. There are some good ones out there. Don't lose hope

If I may be so bold. You are clearly in need of someone to talk about this with. May I suggest someone in Elko County Adult or senior citizens services. And don't talk to us morons about your heart its just to personal. We can stand your physical pain but not your psychological pain. Talk to someone.

Sorry to hear about it James. SHTF she'll regret that decision

Relevelerr said...

James, I don't think you can claim to be a real survalist until your wife has left you, so at least you moved a step up that ladder.

My wife was arguing with me the other day, but all I had to do was show her a picture of the African Compound--argument over!

Seriously, these events take time. I wish there was something to make the sour parts go by faster. I was messed up for a year the first time, and dated the second time for 11 years to make sure. So far so good.

When an individual takes a stand, it really does change the world. Most people just want to be with other people go just go along.

But don't let it get you down for too long. I have a friend who's been married 8 times and has a great time. He said "I just really enjoy wedding music". And he does, and he's finally happy for the last ten years.

I fully believe we all have a kindred spirit out there somewhere, but be careful what you ask for!

How long until you get emails from ladies offering to warm your bed ?
Guy in Idaho lives on the edge of the high lonesome. Has a blog.
One at a time several delicious ladies have come by and stayed a long while to comfort him.

Remember Don and Dan Nichols the father and son idiots in Montana who shot a fellow, kidnapped Kari Swenson and ended up on prison? If they had had
a blog to confess their loneliness and need for wives they'd have had an endless supply
of enthusiastic applicants.

Sorry to hear of your wife's departure, but I'm sure the bright side is apparent - do what you want, when you went, whenever and with whoever. Prepping is so much easier when you don't have to explain why you are purchasing and storing. If you aren't committed - you will likely become pretty flinty.

It seems like big moves (going off grid, etc) need to be mutual.

Commiserations if you are sad she left, congratulations, if you wanted to be rid of her. Either way, I guess, its hard at first, adjusting to a new situation. Hope you'll find someone nice. There are off-grid gals around, you may just have to look in different places. You may also have to stock up on granola and herbal tea (until she has grown some in the herb garden) ;-)
All the best, Jim.

Been readinn every day for a while and enjoy the blog. Not my wife's cup o'tea either. Told her my retirement plan was to pack my truck full of supplies and drive it as far as I could into the North woods and when it will not go any further...that is where I build the cabin...she said..."Send me a post card and let me know how things are going".

Anyway...like my Uncle used to say...if it has tires or tits...you're gonna have trouble with it!

Good Luck...Sorry!

She didn't leave because you're "off the grid". She left because you're an ass. Did you refer to her as a "loyal minion" too?

Here's some ad copy you can use: "Wanted, woamn with low self-esteem, must be satisfied living in abject poverty and being treated like dirt."

Big changes can always be difficult. It is how we adapt to the changes that make us survivors (or not). Almost everyone I know is either leaving their SO, or on the verge of it. It seems relationships are one of the first things to go as our world re-structures itself.
Funny though, I'm the chick who is leaving to live off grid, and he is the one that thinks I'm crazy.
"I enjoy long bike rides and pooping in a bucket.."
Hee hee hee....
I LIKE pooping in a bucket.
You're not a bad looking guy Jim. You could probably find another one if you wanted, but your hand is a lot cheaper and it doesn't talk back.
Good luck!
