Frank's Rent-a-Husband Service

'When someone shares something of value with you, 

and you benefit from it, 

you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

This is a three part post, geared towards the couples of the world. Okay, let me be forthright in saying that this first part, which was actually the initial catalyst for this post, is geared towards waning couples of the world. The next two parts are outright skewed... in all sorts of directions.

I truly hope you never need my friends services, but in case you do... she is WONDERFUL  Journey Beyond Divorce. It is a venture started over a year ago, which today has blossomed into a full-time business. Keep in mind she offers Life Coaching as well - quite nicely, I might add - though her focus is on giving insight, support and tools to navigate through the hardship's of divorce.  

This brings me to the Second part of this post... My darling hubby, after learning of Karen’s venture, and being the 'helpful' guy he is, came up with the following brilliant idea... 

{Yes, he took the time to think, organize, and type this all out... Yes, this is the same guy that forgets what day the garbage goes out - every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for the past 10 years. The guy that {once} put the dishes in the dishwasher away before the cycle was run... and the guy that {once} folded all the dirty laundry and clean into one big pile... Sorry Ladies ~ He’s Mine!}

Still, he had this very 'helpful' idea... Of course, he made sure to cover his it-only-happened-once ass all the bases. I can't say I blame him, it's bad enough having one disgruntled female to contend with.

Now for the Third and last part of the post... The prompt that reminded me of Frank’s Rent-a-Husband Service, and spurred me to share. 

Today on Facebook was the following post.  After I got finished laughing... I decided it was the perfect adjunct to round out this ‘story’ - Too funny to keep to myself!  

I am having Frank print out a stack! ;) 

{Just in case....}

He can bring them with him, should you procure his services. 

FYI...  In case anyone is wondering.  Frank - the man that food shops at the drop of a hat, even at 2 am, for anything - the man that usually places his grunts in the right place - the man that manages to get the garbage to the curb... at some point... has a fantastic sense of humor {once again} gave this his full rubber-stamp of approval.   XO
