Two nights ago ten or so neighborhood moms decided to have a socially distanced street social. It was getting down to 35° so I got the fire pit and built them a nice fire and left them a ton of firewood.

 

Dammit, the F5 button on my computer is obviously not working.

Because his wife was there, so no chance of luring some dirty leg out of the neighborhood milfs.

Two nights ago ten or so neighborhood moms decided to have a socially distanced street social. It was getting down to 35° so I got the fire pit and built them a nice fire and left them a ton of firewood.

Which they completely ignored and let the fire burn out and then complained about it.
Should have put Ed in charge

 Don’t the ladies in your neighborhood have bushes? in his neighborhood?

anyone else's wife unable (or unwilling) to make the connection between the concepts of "Where Things Can Be Found" and "Where Things Go"?  I've learned to deal with it, for the most part. it's the borrowing of my tools that grinds my gears.

I will say she's figured out how to put away her personal yard tools.  yay. she bought herself a set of mildly useful Ryobi cordless gadgets because she doesn't like swinging my heavier gas powered trimmer and blower, and doesn't approve of the frequency with which I choose to use them.  she hangs those back up without fail.  and her chargers have taken over my workbench.

on the otherhand, I no longer have to patch extension cords, which she liked to nick with the hedge trimmer, and she's shaved about 2 minutes off my edging time.  so there's that.

Thanks.  I feel better.

Yes. My wife loses the tv remotes and then tries to justify it as hiding it from the kid.

She leaves gardening stuff, shovels, rakes, outside.

Mrs CL is PISSED that HEB curbside does not have all of the organic gourmet ingredients that she wants to cook with. Because, you know, it's not like supply chains are stressed or anything. You'd think the unavailability of frozen puff pastry, canned organic tomatoes, and ham hocks would be something we could easily deal with. But of course not. 

And somehow it's my fault. As usual. 

Also she doesn't understand that the last minute 'add-ons' they allow count multiple quantities of the same thing separately. If I only get 10 items to add on, asking for 6 cans of cream of mushroom soup counts as 6 separate items. 

Also my fault.

I get behind her in the 15 items or fewer line all the time.

Also regarding the egg in (or actually coming out of) the cooch, anyone ever go to bachelor party in Houston when the Salad Sisters were doing their thing?

Miss trixxie in atx used to shoot the egg outta her “crotch”. Amongst other sundry items

Wife is cooking.......

Her:  Alexa, how many cups in a quart?

Alexa: A quart contains four cups.

Me: Babe- it’s really easy- quart, quarter gallon- 4 quarts to a gallon and then a cup is also one quarter so 4 cups to a quart. 

Wife: Don’t try and fill up my brain. I don’t want anything else in here (pointing to temple). That’s what Alexa is for.

 

Hey Alexa, does my wife have a headache?

Wife decided that the next panic run we're going to have is on gas, so she went and filled both of our cars up.  I live a mile from my work and the last two months, I have driven once a week because of night class, so I have literally been driving 2 miles a week.  And now my car has 16+ gallons of gas in it, and at 30 MPG, that gas should last me about 6 months, which I'm sure is going to be really good for the engine.

Update: Since I posted this on 3/21, I have driven the car once, and gas is now $1.28 in SM.

Regarding storage of goods around the house, It's not easy to simultaneously fulfill all 3 requirements of (1) practicality (2) aesthetics (3) logic/grouping.....but it's very easy for my wife to fail all 3 at once.

I literally don't think my wife has ever put something back where it's supposed to go.

It is so bad that at least twice a week, she'll be wandering aimlessly around the house and I'll ask what she's doing.

"I'm looking for X" she'll say.

And I'll say, "Do you know why you can't find X?"

And she'll say, "Because I didn't put it back where it's supposed to go the last time I used it."
 

Yet she still won't put things back when she'd done with them.

Somebody needs to up their game then.

Goddammit, electrical storm is rolling through, I figured I’d be nice and ride it out in the living room with the dog that doesn’t do well with thunder (otherwise the wife won’t get any sleep).

I guess she needed a power strip for something and instead of grabbing one (of several) from the garage, she unplugs the one that goes to the couch, lamp, and a couple of other things from behind the entertainment center.

Now I’m pissed and there’s not much chance I’ll get any sleep after this little thing blows through.......

What keeps you from grabbing one from the garage and plugging your shit back in?

Probably pretty dark in the house, Sam.

Watching a Discovery channel show last night about otters and Bison.
7yo: What do Otters eat?
Me: Fish mainly, but they can also eat frogs, turtles, etc.
7yo: What do bison eat?
Wife: meat
Me: tommyleejones.jpg

That made me laugh. Imagine a carnivorous bison? That would have changed our expansion to the west...

My wife is just as bad as the kids for putting something in a random spot that is relevant to where she is for time & place that she no longer has a need for it & then when needing said item cannot locate it.  I left a hammer in the bedroom on the cluttered dresser for probably 4 months just to see when she might recognize that it doesn't actually belong there.

At one time Fran kept herself in pretty good shape.  No idea now.

Provided she doesn't actually talk like she did in the TV show (or simply shut TFU), I'd bang her current version just as much as I'd go after the then version.

Somewhat related:  We're getting by in the WFH atmosphere, but things are kind of jumbled.  We have a single file driveway, so the car in back is the one that gets driven.  It recently happened to be my wife's, and I needed my car from in front, which she had also most recently driven.  She moves her car into the street and is waiting for me to move mine.  I'm running around the house looking for my keys, which are in none of the places I usually put them, and I thought maybe I had misplaced them because WFH out of whackness.  After five minutes of this, she is annoyed at me for making her wait.  She comes back into the house, and I ask "Have you seen my keys?"  She's: "Oh, here they are, in my purse."

I think there was some voice affectation, but not much. 

 

I live in Chattanooga and we for decimated by an F3 that was 1,500 yards wide and 9 miles long. My neighborhood got hit hard and 4 houses down they are total losses. I’m extremely lucky and my only issue is we don’t have power.

I tell wife to not leave neighborhood today because she is going to run over shit but what do I know

I didn’t tell you the best part. She works late and sits in driveway when she finally gets home and talks for 30 minutes and comes in and tells me something is wrong with her car. The time is 7:04 and Tirediscounters is .2 miles down the road and closes at 7

Watch a couple episodes of that and then watch Californication. Then look out for Chris Hansen.
