Wifey B:
1. Nice tennis courts.
2. Nice docks
3. Reciprocal agreements
4. Somewhere we can be proud to be a member. Even though we have no kids we want a club with kids activities like sailing. We want a club that is friendly and open to others including transients. We don't want to deal with in-fighting or politics.
5. A club where we can get by with very limited participation. We don't attend meetings and don't participate in holiday gatherings and such. We're not in town most of the time but, even if we were, wouldn't. We like to quietly go our way. We are not looking to be active in club events and activities.
6. Ability to bring guests with us.
7. Manageable obligations. We don't mind dining minimums as long as they're spread over reasonable periods and can be accomplished different ways.

Interesting. My wife always speaks for herself.
Wifey B: You mean she'd say, "I have a lovely house" rather than "We have?" We would select a yacht club together so our views would be shared. Now, when I speak of my height or my dress or things like that it is "I."
Interesting topic as there is no "I" in "Team" and good team players use "we" and credit others. If I was expressing a view he didn't share, I'd definitely use "I". Oh, and "We" belong to the yacht club together. Bo'fus.![]()
Children. It's getting late. Bedtime...
