Yankee4Life Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 My wife and I are doing some home improvement on the outside of the house. We are getting siding put in when the summer gets here. Here's the issue. It's the color of the shutters that I have a problem with. She's picked out a style of the siding she wants and the color of the siding. The trouble is, the color of the shutters is red. I don't want red. I make sure everything I own is not red. I don't have a red shirt, I don't have red cloths, I don't have red towels, I don't have red anything!!! Red reminds me of the Boston Red Sox and they are not welcome in this house. I told her this and explained this to her calmly. Maybe she'd understand. Of course not. She's a woman. She said I was nuts. She said the color of the shutters shouldn't have anything to do with baseball. I say the color blue will look better with the siding because of two reasons: it looks better and also because it isn't red. Thank you for reading. Thank you more for understanding. Thank you for taking the poll. Please feel free to leave comments provided if you only agree with me on this subject. :lol: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/38996-poll-help-me-decide-something/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I believe that you live in upstate New York, right? If so, why not think of the red as the same color of the maple leaves in autumn? If you think of it that way, and as long as you don't have the Red Sox logo on the shutters, you should be OK. Alternatively, you could think of the red as Anaheim Angels, Cincinnati Reds or Arizona Diamondbacks red, rather than Red Sox red......

Jim825 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 How about the color being a tribute to former Yankee third baseman Red Rolfe who led the American League in 1939 in doubles, hits and runs? Yeah, I know, I'm reaching here....... :lol: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/38996-poll-help-me-decide-something/#findComment-565522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB2K9 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Y4L you are right here. I'm a Braves fan and I wouldn't want anything Mets or Marlins colors. Stick to your guns even if it means losing your wife. Remember people are temporary, teams are eternal.

MarkB Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Man, oh, man. Y4L, you need just one image to set her straight. Also, make it known that any further transgressions will lead to her Yankee fan membership being revoked, and her being provided with mandatory membership of the "Know your place" club.

tiedyed Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I fully understand your plight. That is why I asked my wife one very important question when we first met. Being a Red Sox fan myself. I asked her if she was a Yankee fan, her response was who are the Yankee's. We get along just fine :) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/38996-poll-help-me-decide-something/#findComment-565552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoop27 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 ok I've been married for 8 years together for almost 11 now. My wife doesn't get sports 99% of the time. My Flames insanity is much like your Yanks insanity. However I have found a system that has kept us happy. I get to have what I want in one room of the house (for me its my basement/den wall mounted TV surround sound etc etc Flames and hockey stuff everywhere.) and she does not say chit! I also have acquired the garage. In exchange for this she gets to do whatever she wants with the rest of house. While it is not perfect it allows me to have a place or two to hide away. So yes you are nuts. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/38996-poll-help-me-decide-something/#findComment-565591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are there it's OK, because overall, I still win -- two of our daughters are Yankees fans and the other one is a Red Sox fan, so Yankee fans outnumber Red Sox fans in our house. :lol: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/38996-poll-help-me-decide-something/#findComment-565625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy6finger Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Y4L -- I just thought of something. If she wants to paint the shudders red, then she has to allow to buy a ps3 and the show.
