Driving through some rural area today, my wife was taking pics to send to her friend in NYC who loves that shit. She snaps a nice pic, you could see for miles. She said, with awe in her voice, "This looks like a PHOTOGRAPH!", I told her that it was and she took it herself. Got tone at first but she lightened up quick. Said she meant to say postcard. I just laughed.

Wife never ever locks the front door. I've been leaning on her about it for awhile because we have a baby and I'm protective etc. She told me the other day that she was going to really take it seriously because she loves our kid.

 

Been locked in the back yard going on 3 hours now. Good thing I have a pool and now 3 lone stars left. Not answering the phone, but I'm not trying that hard to get in

A little update on the "disposable cup cover for music festivals."

Welp, our bank account is soon to be $2500 lighter. My wife and her partner are paying some industrial designer $5k to come up with a prototype.  Money doesn't bug me, since she makes good coin, but I kind of think this is becoming more about proving me wrong than anything else.

I must have given her my dubious face when she told me, because she said "Don't worry, we'll still own the IP."

Now there were a few ways to respond to this.  I could have (1) laughed and said "I'm not worried at all," or (2) "You know the IP for something know one wants isn't going to be worth much."   However I've been a husband for over ten years, and have self inflicted wounds to prove it.  So I said neither.  Instead I said "Sounds good to me."

Well, I guess the next stop is prototype.  I'll have to ask everyone for an NDA before I post it, so none of you assholes steal the IP,  but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I have at times pushed my wife to take a more "proactive" approach to her career and/or business opportunities.

 

Thank you for the warning.  Watch what I wish for.

So was it ever discerned what is different/better than the thing you found on Amazon?  I (like you) would have thought that would be the end of it with a "oh wells, it's already invented" instead of challenge accepted.  Or she and friend are banging the IP attorney and industrial designer.

The easy answer is to re: thread title.  But in reality her spin is that these will be disposable and stick to the sides of the cup with some kind of adhesive differentiates it from the one I got on Amazon.  Who fucking knows.  But the further this goes the more I'm thinking it's a stubborn reaction from me dismissing the idea from the outset.  Oh well, at least there's a few laughs in it.

I don’t remember, are these kids soecififor solo cups or are they supposed to be some sort of universal thing that’s disposable?

because you know who makes disposable solo cup lids?  The solo company.

That's an expensive few laughs. Even if she's making enough to cover the cost a couple grand is still significant money to completely throw away.

Do you even surly 1% bro?

Rhetorical question as I'm sure 99% of you would answer yes but:
 

Are any of your wives kind of hypochondriacs? My wife every few months complains about her tonsils and I think it's because she's constantly poking at it with her tongue and irritates it, just can't stop obsessing. I just used a flashlight and didn't see a tonsil stone, canker sore, or anything obvious but of course she doesn't believe me.

"Hey let me keep telling you about this thing annoying me. Ohh you don't see anything? Well that must obviously not be true"

Let a friend look at it and tell her the same thing and it will be fine.

Your wife can get the tip of her tongue back to her tonsils? Keep that one around.

Yeah, so did my wife, summa cum laude.

Oh boy, if only that translated to anything positive for me. Also, I really don't know if she can but I've dropped arguing that she probably can't a long time ago.

Not sure, I'll ask her.  That's a good question to show that I'm interested and engaged in her inventions.

You might ought to consider doing some tinkering on your own and come up with a device that will penetrate her lid to deliver the roofie. Would be great if it were something ubiquitous.

You can't just shout out the answers like that. You have to patent it first. Now errrrybody is gonna steal it!

Is she planning to make them out of plastic? Because inventing a single-use disposable plastic product seems about as smart as investing in print media. 

Maybe it would be a good idea to remind her of the environmental impact of her product and that she should expect it to be banned like plastic bags and straws.

And how all her plastic is going to wind up floating around in the ocean choking the life out of those cute little baby seals.

I do digital marketing, specifically Google and Facebook, for a living.  I was talking to a law firm who is doing over $4k a month in print marketing.  I had 4 attorneys in the meeting, only 1 was a woman and she is married.  In my presentation I talked about my close partnership with both Google and Facebook and showed  how what I am doing is helping some of the biggest name attorneys in Texas.  At the end of my presentation the three male attorneys were ready to go with my suggestions.  The female attorney was vehemently against it because "we've always done print and we need something that we can physically show our clients.  We also don't know if online ads would work."
