Water heater valves?

Ask your husband, he should know.

I’ve bought more valves than you’ve thought about in your lifetime but wondering why this thread has gone down a completely uninteresting tangent.

It takes brass balls to do that. 

Back on track, Hulla.  

I take Lipitor every day to keep my cholesterol down.  It's a lot easier to take a pill than watch your diet and exercise. 

The other day I threw away an empty Lipitor bottle. 

Mrs. B reached into the trash can pulled out the bottle and and said "you need to remove the label or else somebody could go through the trash and refill it in your name."

Me:  "Yeah they can get a lot on the black market for Lipitor."

I'm currently waiting at a restaurant because my wife mis-read the text and drove 30 minutes the wrong direction to a different restaurant. She was already running late - because she's always running late - so now our 6pm dinner might happen at 7. Maybe.

That’s why god made cocktails and appetizers. 

The bonus I forgot to mention is that she called me an hour before she left (because I tried to call her first before texting) to tell me she got the text and even mentioned the restaurant by name.

When she called later, she was laughing and said, "Guess where I am?"

I got in a surprising amount of trouble this morning for filling the kid’s pet rabbit’s water from the faucet instead of using the filtered water from the refrigerator. The fact that it would be drinking from a half cow piss puddle in the wild fell on cold shoulders.

I bet that rabbit would be yummy. We raised them for food when I was a kid.

A few months ago we had a holiday party for work where our international team was in town and I was running the show.  We originally were at one place and move to another.  Somehow, despite texts, email, verbal conversation that week and day of telling here where when and how to get there, she went to the original place instead.  Mind you, I told her one time MONTHS before the original place.  Of course she goes to the wrong place, then complains that I didn't tell her it moved (easily 3 verifiable in writing things day of, including 2 texts up from where she was complaining I didn't tell her), and she was running late anyway because she always is from work and then had to back track 35 minutes and was an hour late.  

I can't stand people being late.  I take it as complete disrespect to me and the event.  She really does try but work days are hard for her because she works at and owns her own salon.  But man, I had a hard time that day not being pissed.

Our dog bowl is filtered water when she fills it.

I feel your pain.  I was raised on a farm/ranch where the old man trained cutting horses.  20 brood mares so we generally have 50-60 horses.  We also raised 4H/FFA steers and sheep and had a commercial rabbit operation with 30 does and about 30 laying hens for selling eggs.  ALL of those animals drank water pumped from the stock tank.  But she thinks our 6 hens need filtered water to drink.  And constantly telling me what I need to do different in the upkeep of our 6 hens.  I won't even THINK about bringing up some of the more entertaining of those ideas.

But now to the best part.  The other day, she brought home a new chicken shit scooper.
Her:  This one is only for the chickens.   Use the other one for cleaning up dog poop.
Me:  Huh?
Her:   I don't want the chicken poop bacteria to get mixed in the the dog poop bacteria, and visa versa.
Me:  It is shit.  And you do realize that I compost all of that chicken shit and it gets added to the compost that goes into our gardens for the veggies we eat.
Her:  But I don't want the dog poop and chicken poop to get mixed up buy using the same scooper.

 

I assume your answer was “Yeah, no.” ?

Shit....I'm still trying to process why she uses filtered water to pour into tea pot that is going to boil anyway.

Actually, I told her this idea didn't make sense, but I thought I would have some fun with it.   

Old scooper, now assigned to dog shit patrol is pink.....but the hens are red in color.  The pink one should be for the hens. 

The new shit tool is green...like army fatigue green.....and the dog is a German Shepherd.  It makes much more sense to have the green shit tool assigned to the dog and the pink one to be used for chicken shit.   

By this point, she was fairly confused or mad...I really couldn't tell and truly didn't care...but I got a few minutes of interrupted peace and joy.

But the old one has already touched dog poop. It's contaminated. You know how hard it is to boil and sanitize a doggie poop scooper? Will you at least think about the poor chickens?

Assuming you aren't barbarians and flush every time you shit/piss, the toilet water is probably fresher than the water in the dog bowl. Dogs can smell this, and therefore given the choice, prefer the toilet water. 

Except my idiot black lab. He prefers the water in the bird bath- full of dead spiders and bird shit.

Okay but thinking St. Louis is a city in Chicago is pretty fucking bad. I've never dated a girl that dumb.

Many pages up thread is a discussion about the fact that many wives don’t flush the toilet in the middle of the night because reasons, resulting in a nice yellow, stinky, toilet paper filled bowl every morning.

See the problem there is that my wife is the life of any party.  She can make shit parties ones people don't forget.  And that night I didn't want to take any chances lol

I think that's the difference btw what this thread is at it's best vs. the divorce thread.  She has some qualities that drive me crazy, but they are 2% of the day vs the 98% where she's awesome.  But that thread wouldn't be as funny.  

Honestly, in retrospect it's more funny to me that even though she never listens to me, the one time she did it and then retained it, it was the wrong information

When mine pisses me off with her constant social interaction I remind myself that it’s very important to her, and remind myself that she’s the social face of our relationship. If she’s the life of the party, then I don’t have to be.

On a related note I always chuckle at these high end dog food commercials. That little precious filthy animal that you think needs free range organic chicken curated and massaged by Cuban virgins will turn around and eat his own vomit right in front of you.

Same here. I never have to plan a holiday or family event ever again. All I have to do is pay the credit card bill.

My wife became convinced we needed to feed our first dog that Fresh Pet shit when he got old and his teeth started going.  I guess it made sense, because it was hard for him to chew kibble and that little fucker was an absolute prince who realistically deserved filet mignon had it been in the budget.

But the problem is our shitass second dog got used to it as well.  Costs more to feed that surly mongrel than it does to feed our kid.

Edited by Al_4_ISU

Mix a little bit in w/ his kibble so he can get the smell, but you don't have to feed just the expensive stuff.  I the tube into 1/4" cubes and put them in a tupperware, then just shake a little into the bowl, kibble goes on top so they have to go through the cheap stuff (not cheap @ almost $60 for a 35# bag...) to get to the FreshPet.  I get about 2 weeks out of a 1.5# tube for 2 dogs, but they only get that in the morning.  They have to suffer w/ the kibble alone in the evenings.

My current dogs do this right now. You want to take them in and relive those memories?
