my wife was disappointed...i guess they strayed way far from the book storyline
It's a lot different at this point, but I really take a different approach to books than I do to TV/movies. I try to view them separately and appreciate each individually.

Bad stuff those hormones...
My wife sometimes work shifts for my mother at a local school. As a weeks holiday is coming up for my wife and her college schedules, she was asked by my mother if she could work any that specific week. My wife said yes, and my mother took it as a sign she could sign her up for some shifts. She asked like..last Saturday. My mother calls her today and tells her about the shifts she got, Tuesday and Thursday. In the meantime however, my wife got an important writing task from college. She's not going to college for lectures, but she still has a task to do. She then can't take both shifts which puts my mother in a bad spot as she had worked out the schedules and now needs to re-do and so on. After she got off the phone with my mother, I told my wife that once committed to a job, even if the days were not finalized until today (the week in question is next week) it's not ideal to back out of previously arrangements with work, no matter if they were a tad vague. Of course, the college task is very important.
So I basically told her to take notice of this, and make sure it didn't happen again.
She went raving mad. Oh my. Raving mad I say. Maaad.
Hmm... Just my take on how your reaction could have had less backlash - maybe don't tell your wife to "take notice" of anything. Just tell her that you can see how that would cause a problem for your Mom, and she will understand why you're bringing it up. There is no need for a lecture. The last thing I want to hear from Russ (or anyone else for that matter) after I have screwed up is a lecture. I'm sure it wasn't without thought that she turned away the shift(s).
And oh my dear, this isn't PMS. This is just plain ol' hormones.

Maybe not gold digging, but definitely a girl looking to be "taken care of".
That's female language for "go out and make money so I can sit my ass at the house and do nothing or go shopping with your credit cards, while you support me".
One of the BIGGEST issues with female equality and feminism that has existed since it was adapted by the 80's, is that although women were empowered to go out and get jobs right beside men and not stay at home with kids, something Gen X & Y now feel entitled to, is that despite that role they were given.... they still typically expect men to foot their bill in life.
Doesn't work that way. If that makes me a fuckin' caveman asshole, than whatever, but I ain't backing down on it.
Not all women are like this. It's part of our life plan for me to one day be running a hospital or some big shit like that while Russ stays home and raises our babies.
I mean, really. How else is Evo going to stay around forever without our spawn?

Yes..is it true you all share a hive mind?
No, I happen to have missed out on that particular female thing. I'm quite different than your average girl

I just know Russ' old lady is gonna rip him an asshole by like the 90 minute mark on waiting.
No, no. He's correct. I saw them in 06 and while I was indeed tired, I lived and enjoyed it of course.
This time around since we have floor seats, I see a lot of me sitting at the bar upstairs while Russ waits on the floor for the show to start, lol.:laugh:

Hey hey hey woman haters... we don't all suck. Ask Russ
Truly though, I'm sorry for the BS games some of my fellow women play, they're outrageous. I would like to apologize on our behalf...
Any questions? Lol.

James, you gotta really dig into their whole body of work. I am pretty sure you will find something that you start to dig on. They are also amazing live.
Seeing them live for the first time is unforgettable, and really what got me to be a fan more than a listener.
