Annie's Woodshed: Ladies, Learn From My Mistake!

A True Wife

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Ladies, Learn From My Mistake!

So we went to Lowe's last night to price a solid door for our bedroom (its back to the drawing board on the door.) We picked up a few things we needed for the house and the material for a loopy johnny. We also got a couple of dowels. I am not in fear of the loopy johnny yet so to speak since it still needs to be assembled; he did swat me with the tubing and OMG it is going to sting! However, ladies if your HOH takes you to the store and and tells you to pick which dowel you want go with the larger. Please Do Not Make the same mistake I did. I was thinking small thin it can't hurt. I was WRONG! The small thin ones are like switches.

After we got home and ate dinner I was sitting on the bed while he emptied it pockets. He picked up the dowels and were flicking them. He looked at me and told me to roll over. First thought was no way but then I remembered I was fully clothed so it wouldn't hurt. WRONG! He did a couple of test swats with the larger one and it stung but when it swatted me with the thin one I almost came off the bed. He said that he would leave the large one intact but the smaller one he was going to cut in half.

So today I am confused. I want him to be HOH but those dowels well they may just disappear!

LOL. The rods do pack a sting. A soft swing packs a big punch. When it comes to punishment I do wonder what I have gotten myself into.

Oh, I have learned NO SKINNY THINGS!!! LOL. (I prefer implements w/ broader coverage). Just for your personal info, as, I have made a number of loopies, thus my reputation, I have found the best way to make the loopy is to use a cord such as a cell phone charger or speaker cord, or a wii nunchuck type of cord rather than the tubing ( I have done both). I have used 3 or 4 loops with these type of cords. For the handle, I bought a jump rope from Walmart and thus you have two handles. JJ loves our loopy, I guess cause it's quiet, although he says its more special since I made it. Ha Ha.

Annie, Annie!
The only cords that should be used for a loopy johnnie are the ones from a cordless phone.

Hi Annie, we have a dowel rod as well and I really hate it. We actually own two loopy johnnys. One of them we bought online and one of them I made myself. ( fool ) The one I made is much worse than the online one, not sure why, thicker tubing maybe. Good luck with those. Galway

Colossians 3:18-25

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:18-25 ESV

1Peter 3:1-7

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1Peter 3:1-7

Proverbs 31: 10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31: 10-31 (ESV)
