For me, stress makes me want to reload. It refocuses me. What about the rest of you?

Maybe 'Slick has a special song that gets him in the mood.

No but I am sure that a particular lube will put him in the mood to cast.

mine look nothing like that one when they arrived... if it wasn't for the tape, I reckon I'd have lost all my cases in a breadcrumb trail back to the original shipper!

what puts me in the mood - shooting a bunch... !

A quick trip to anyplace that sells expensive factory ammo or to caliber corner puts me in the mood to reload.

Freak, you are a young guy, so I have to ask this... You get a box from Dillon the same days as a surprise package from Victoria's Secret... which do you open first and why?

After spending most of '07 at Victoria's Secret, I would open the box from Dillon first. I will not buy from VS, thankfully, they have competitors.

Good point. I bet few things from Dillon have been used to floss stuff I don't want to be in contact with.

My wife gets her period more often than I get laid, so it's Dillon all the way.

If a VS or FoH box shows up at my place, chances are it got delivered to the wrong address. Apparently sex isn't allowed in this house.:banghead:

Yep, stress does it for me too. I find separating brass to be therapeutic for me. Call it CRB meditation.

Don't feel bad it happens to almost everyone.
The day my best friend got married I told him "enjoy it while you can, once they get married it grows shut". He laughed and told me how full of crap I was. A couple of years later I am standing by the coffee pot shooting the breeze with some other co-workers and he walks up looks me in the eye and says "Frack you Frost" I'm like huh? What did I do now? He said "your were right!" to which I of course responded "huh?". Once he explained the other guys started laughing right up to the point I asked them how much they got.
Of course there is a liar in every bunch:icon_bs:so I told him "you better watch that woman, the ones that actually like it like variety" (that is a cleaned up paraphrase)

My first wife was one of the ones that liked variety can we say "kicked to the curb".

As for wanting to reload ammo, definitely stress. I have terrible headaches and the focus of reloading helps.
As for reloading the wife, I'm sorry to say that if I had to pick between great sex and a great night of sleep, at my age I would have to think about that one.

It is relaxing so anytime I want to relax, I reload...but I usually do not have enough time...

As far as the other stuff...still going strong after a kid.

Sorry to hear about that, Freak.

Are you going to say that men don't do some of the same things? We pull out all the stops when we are trying to win over our future wives. Now that you have her, do you still "court" her? Bring flowers? Tell her how nice her hair smells while you cuddle on the sofa? I know I'm guilty of getting a little lazy in the romance department. Not busting your chops, just food for thought. Women seem to like the little things. Put a small note in her lunch bag telling her how much you love her and she will think about you all day. If you have any chance of getting some, things like this sure help.

I didn't put on a show. I was who I am. I made an effort to do the courting thing, but there was no benefit received, so I quit.

Bring flowers?
Flowers are for mistakes. Since I don't make mistakes, I don't buy her flowers. She also doesn't like gifts that die in three days.

Tell her how nice her hair smells while you cuddle on the sofa?
She likes a seat cushion between us on the couch. She feels like I'm "cramping her style" when I sit next to her.

Tried that. Doesn't work.

We haven't slept in the same bed since early January.

Freak, I would highly recomend counseling for you and your wife. There is nothing wrong with "spending a little time on the couch". My wife and I have done it twice in the 24 years we have been together, and it was awesome. Your wife may be dealing with post partum depression, and it can be crushing. My wife would sit in the bathtub and cry for no reason after my daughter was born. It took the help of a profesional to get us through it.

Freak,

Agreed with Koski (never thought I'd be saying that).

As you know, I'm not married and I'm the last person who should be giving advice on a relationship. I will say, however, that sometimes indepenant view can be eye opening, whether a professional or sitting down over a drink with a bud.

Best,

When an Indian wife says no the husband throws kerosene on her and Grandpa throws the match. Gets written off as a kitchen accident.

After my first marriage I should have imported a couple of "housekeepers".
Everyone would be happier.

Now I am expecting the following statement to push some of you over the edge of the precipice you are at due to my previous statements.

Personally I blame society.
It is the way women are raised in this country.

or

Perhaps you have only yourself to blame.
That first time you let her say no you empowered her.
If you had said "I don't care if you have a headache", things would be different.


Just kidding around you should not take me seriously, or should you?

Just to be clear.
I was talking about Indians in India not Native Americans.

Just Google "Dowry Murders".

I consider myself jaded but this shocked me.
I still do everything I can to avoid using tech support in India.
I buy Gold support on every Dell I buy at work to avoid them.
As far as HP I tell everyone to complain that they cannot understand them until you are switched to a tech in Canada. It works a decent percentage of the time.

I handload out of necessity & rarley load for more than 1hr at a time. So when I need ammo, I reload. When I get bored, I'll go out in the garage & load for a hour. 300rds later, I'll be bored w/ that.:wink5:

For me lately it's been the lack of finished rounds to shoot at the range. If I want to go shooting I need to do some reloading. That will change though as I settle on a recipe & start loading a little faster.

Counseling is good.
But for me, realizing that 1/2 my chit is worth losing the wrong woman so you can find the right one was a hard awakening. Ya gotta love what ya got, or get what ya love.
I wouldn't trade my current wife for anything. And when she frustrates me - it puts me in the mood to go out to the garage and reload.
