So why didn’t you see her purse?

Because I was too busy rolling my eyes as she worked her way through story #18 of her school week.

Wife left her purse at the restaurant last night.  Realized it when she got home.  Drove back and it was still there.

How in the holy hell does a woman not remember to get a purse?  You walked in with exactly one thing ... and forget it.  I have a phone, keys, wallet, and sunglasses that I take everywhere.  Out of those 4 things, I've forgotten my wallet ONE time in the last 30 years.  Like, I just don't understand how, when you get up from a place that is not your couch, you don't turn around and look to see if you've left anything.  I can't recall the last time my wallet has fallen out of my back pocket when sitting down.  I STILL look at the table, chair, and floor before I walk out of any place that I go.  /end rant

There’s been a few times in my married life where I’ve picked up her (phone/wallet/purse/keys/whatever) as we’re walking out of the restaurant, and just kept them hidden until she realizes she’s missing her whatever.  Let her freak out for a bit, then hand it over without a word.  She’s torn between being mad at me for not telling her and thankful that I picked it up.  Simple pleasures. 

I've done that too, except she never realizes it's gone and then it gets lame when I get tired of waiting and hand it to her and she says "oh, he he".

You got a burger over ramen and are complaining? SMDH

It would have been the same even if you did finally end up at the ramen place.

Had lunch at Dairy Queen in Bastrop one Christmas Eve coming from Marble Falls (my family xmas gathering) to Deer Park (her family xmas eve gathering).  Get home in Houston with a couple of hours to spare before we have to head to Deer Park and wife realizes she doesn't have her purse.  Call Dairy Queen.  Yes, its there.  I get to drive back to Bastrop and turn around and go to Deer Park.  

 

Good times.........good times.

So wife stepped back from her career last year, so that she could focus on spending time with the kids and other shit that doesn't involve generating income.

I told her to start thinking about business ideas in the background and shit. Haven't really pressed the issue. She comes to me today and has the next great idea.  There have been a few others.  None really viable.

This one is a laundry wash and fold service. 

It took me a moment to digest.

She did not particularly appreciate the suggestion that she pilot the service in our own fucking house for some reason. 

Next thing you know she is going to come up with this service where there is not a pile of dirty dishes in the sink every night when you go to bed.

Well she could pilot it in a laundromat to give her some idea of overhead.  And, she could even pay the people who work at the laundromat who get paid next to nothing to wash and fold for her. 
 

oh, I guess someone already does this for less than minimum part time wage with no benefits.

I told her that there was a place in Oak Hill that did wash and fold and that she should view this as a delivery service and run the numbers on what she thinks she could do on the markup. 

 

And then I suggested to her that there was a full load in the laundry bin if she wanted to try her hand.

You know if she could coordinate Uber to do the pick up, take it to the wash and fold people, and the shipt  to deliver their clean clothes and groceries she might be on to something there.

my wife left her purse at the DQ on 37 in Pleasanton on the way back from Corpus, once.  I didn't even have to raise an eyebrow.   she drove her own ass back down there to get it.

TV Producers could put out multiple stupid shit shows and yet there is a gold mine of a sitcom sitting right here in 189 pages.

We thankfully don't have snakes... but theres a soybean field directly next to my backyard so anytime the garage door is open longer than 45 seconds requires a thorough investigation throughout everything in the garage looking for mice.  Haven't been told to shut the garage door behind me as i wheeled the bins to the end of the driveway on trash day. Of course i sprint both ways to make sure and i can be back in the house in under 15 seconds with the door shutting behind me

Love it which reminds me... did that wife ever make it to shark tank after she invented the water bottle holder for EDM raves?

We haven't seen updates on her in a while

If there are mice, there are snakes . . . 

And that little rubber sweep at the bottom of your garage door isn't a significant barrier to either mice OR snakes.  Your best defense is a mean and hungry outside cat.  Not the nice, fat lap cat, but the mangy, mean kind that would just as soon scratch you as rub up against your leg.  

I come downstairs this morning to the rain coming down in torrents and see my wife wearing my brand new $300 Patagonia Nano Puff hoodie.  I specifically bought this jacket for my trip to the Sierra later this year.  It is not waterproof.

"I'm wearing your jacket to work because I can't find my rain coat."

"Uh, no you're not.  That is not a rain coat."

"But it has a hood!"

 

So according to her, every jacket with a hood is a rain coat I guess.

Its not a hoodie.  Its a rain jacket. 

Technical outdoor gear gets expensive pretty quickly, but you can usually find it for half the price or so if you know where to look and buy out of season. But also, directly from the Patagonia website:

Thank you Simone.  Water RESISTANT.  I wouldn't wear that shit out in the pouring rain.  And to be fair, I didn't pay that much for it, it was on sale, so again, fuck you guys I say, I say fuck you.

There's never any shame in buying a nano puff. Top 10 all time piece of kit.

Umm.  Have you seen a picture of one of these? It’s in the Portland hipster starter kit. Right next to rolling up the cuff of your jeans and or tucking them into your boots. 
I believe they are also repurposed women jackets so that might explain why she grabbed it.

If you spend $300 on a coat that can't get wet, you might as well just schedule your reassignment surgery now.

You should be more worried that she won't take it off before blowing her side piece. Not sure the cum stains will wash out.

Hey, hey, hey.....let's not turn on one of our own. Focus my men, focus!  Still, Nano Puff?

My wife thinks she is the queen of dishwasher loading, so I have always left that duty to her to complete. But she thinks it is unfair to have to unload the clean dishes, as loading the dirty ones is such an arduous task, so she won't do anything unless the dishwasher is empty. I asked her once why I always have to unload the dryer myself to put in the wet laundry but tone.

I had unloaded the dishwasher the other day, so it was empty but the sink was beyond full of dishes. I made an offhand comment but it was pretty much ignored. I got sick of looking at it last night, so I started to load up the dirty dishes (mostly plastic cups, nothing with caked on food). I get halfway done and she says "You're gonna make me feel bad about not doing that", to which I laughed and said "I'm not making you feel that way, you did it to yourself.". She then made a half-hearted attempt to help but I was already done.

Tbh,  I was more speaking about the hipster part than your location, but duly noted.

I'm not sure what other brand of insulated jacket you'd recommend, but I haven't found any better and they are a pretty critical piece of kit in the backcountry in winter.
