A question for the ladies here...

Oh my....

I started this thread while I'm waiting for a client to call me back, and I now have tears running down my face

I think I've set a record for "likes" in a single post - you folks are HILARIOUS. Although, must admit, my S.O. is the one who tends to "tidy up", and I'm the "stacker" We acknowledge each drives each other crazy, but I about lost it one day when I couldn't find my replacement credit card that had come in the mail recently. (Why did I not put it in my wallet immediately, you may ask? I dunno....) So after a "stink eye" and an email to the bank to REPLACE IT AGAIN, I find it in a pants pocket, where I'd put it to keep it safe....

A few hundred apologies later....

so.... in a minor attempt to humor my better half



I at least got to play with power tools

Just another thought to add to this thread...

We have an upstairs, and we have a downstairs.
There are things that obviously should live upstairs, just as there are things that should live downstairs.

I mean, it makes no sense for frying pans to be upstairs in the bedroom.
And it makes no sense for nail files and nail polish to be downstairs in the living room, at least on a permanent basis.

So we have a fancy little wicker basket that I bought to put on the stairs.
And things that need to switch floors get put in that basket and the basket is then supposed to be carried up or down as needed.

In the four years that we have had this basket on the stairs, my wife has failed to notice that it exists.

So I have been thinking of putting it right in the middle of the stairs, instead of off to the side, so she is forced to realize it is there.
But then again, I might trip over it one night coming down for a glass of milk or something.

And I am worth much more to her dead than alive, so I'm thinking it's not the best idea I've ever had.

Oh my, no. She is quite proud of the fact i’ve stopped smoking. So proud in fact that she celebrates my success with a new pair of shoes each week.

Unfortunately for her (and by no fault of mine of course), since I had to buy brand new e-juice she just realized she’ll have to wear the same pair at least twice.

You sure about dat? Did you happen to check Craig's List for anyone in Dead Moose that just happens to be selling cough... "used dog shampoo" cough, cough...

I have weighed the option of which way I am more valuable, and like you, much more value dead. That has been the basis for her getting her way MANY times....
