Please explain to my wife the TDR aint facebook

[AWeiman]

so my wife and my bro's wife think it is funny to make fun of us for talking about the TDR. they who both have facebook say that the TDR is our facebook. we have tried numerous times to explain that they are nothing alike. not much gossip on the TDR just commonsense info. i know i am still a bit of a rookie TDR member but a little help winning an argument with the wife would help.

thanks



p. s. not judging any of you that have facebook just not my thing

not much gossip on the TDR just commonsense info.

Watch the Politics threads for awesome displays of anything but common sense! IMHO!

Lecture that FB enables social networking, whereas TDR enables technical discussions. The difference is easily measured by attention span. FB users typically exhibit attention spans of 10-30 seconds (5-15 seconds to read something and 5-15 seconds to comment on it). TDR users typically exhibit attention spans of 5-15 minutes (8-12 minutes to read a thread and 3-7 minutes to compose a reply).



Then immediately and humbly apologize for doubting their wisdom and trying to draw them into a polemic, unwinnable argument, and agree with them that TDR is "FaceBook for Dieselheads". For even though husbands are sometimes right, wives are never wrong.

I keep encouraging my kid to become the next kajillionaire and invent "buttbook". Post a photo of your derriere and see who recognizes it! It would have to be more entertaining than 'facebook', whatever that is...

That's funny

I gave up after reading the first few words of your first sentence---"Please explain to my wife"----You are either a newlywed or your just plain crazy. That discussion can only end up one way----and you ain't going to like the outcome. Just smile and nod your head like the rest of us and say, "yes dear, your right, as usual". IMO

ya you are correct i am a newlywed. (and a tad crazy too) this was never actually a real argument just trying to have a little fun. the wife and i enjoy picking on each other. just looking for a little back up.

(some of you all sound like you been married a year or two)

AWeiman, 2 questions. How did your wife find out about TDR?
2nd, who wears the pants in your house?
Tip #1, Don't ever try to figure aut a lady. Go along with them till you can't stand it any more. Then just quietly walk away.

Why don't you take this moment to tell everyone, after you sign the marrage cert. life does change.

Sorry to tell you, but as a wife with a facebook account - this site is as entertaining as facebook - the political forum is a great read!!

1. when she married me she knew she was marring my addiction to the TDR. my wife loved the TDR when she wanted remote start for her '06 and i said not till i do some checking. or when she complained bout her seat belt chime when she pulled in the driveway after getting the mail. so another quick search and that problem solved. she really just dont appreciate everything the TDR has done for her.



2. i still wear the pants believe me, i make more money.



3. yes after that certificate is signed things change. and yes after the honeymoon stage is over certain "things" you used to do alot, you start to do less cause certain people(my wife) aren't in the mood.



for the record i love her to death. (how could i not she did want a mega cab ctd when it was time to replace that ol F-150

I found one important thing very early on----don't give them your password. Keeps them from finding out when your talking your trash about who runs what. :-laf:-laf

It's a lot less painful that way.

AWeiman, You are a very honest man. Thanks. Been there done that. LOL
Tip#2. Nobody is perfect, including our wives.

The same is true in my household. She just tells me which pair to wear. :-laf

My wife is always asking me what I am doing on the computer for all those hours, I tell just reading the TDR, she says how can you spend all that time just reading that stuff? But she is always impressed when she has a question about truck and I can say well here's the answer, "I read it on the TDR"
