In my house, I am "the Decider."
I have decided that, due to the oil problems we are having, that I am never going to put oil in my car again. I will not have the oil changed or the filter. I am doing my part for our country.

When I make a decision, I stick to it; I never change my mind.

People like that about me.

3. Hello, Chief!
My father is a retired CPO (CTRC). I spent 6 years in the Navy as a nuc Machinist Mate.

Go Navy! (But thank the Lord that I am not in the Navy now...)

7. Howdy Shipmate
Fair winds and followings seas to you and your Dad. It was nice to come home in the evening and turn the reigns of deciding over to the wife after juggling Sailors and their problems all day.

4. Well, if it comes down to that, I will make a decision.
I am the Decider, and I stick to my decisions.

A cracked engine block will not change my mind.

8. I have also decided that we will no longer balance our checkbook,
we will run up a huge debt on our credit cards and we will never pay it.

That is my decision and I am sticking to it.

I am the Decider.

13. The Army boot camp
spoiled me (or so says hubby). Got room for an ex WAC. I let my hubby think he is the decider. Today, he decided he would go to work...after he decided to make his own breakfast. I like this ownership thing.:spray:
He had to do this cause I decided to go in to work early today.
