My wife is a wonderful person and I love her to death. But…

Yesterday we went to pic up my photos from the drugstore. Price: Four bucks and change. But wait! My wife insists on using her coupon for three dollars off. Except that it requires a minimum purchase of $12. So she runs and grabs some stuff of the shelves while I’m waiting at the register – a can of cashews and some Hot Wheels cars “for the grandkids”.

So, with her coupon, my pics ended up costing me ten bucks and change. “But it’s ok, because we saved three dollars!”

LOL!

Ray,

Next time ask her first if she has any coupons. Then shoot enough rolls of film - GRR subjects naturally - to make up the minimum purchase.
That kind of logic will be accepted without a question!

And just as soon as she has some really BIG coupons make sure they get applied against a Digi-Cam, explaining to her that all the development cost will be a thing of the past, will sell that one big time. But just in case, don’t forget to tell her that the $3 coupons are well applied for those prints of the GranKids you get off a CD.

Actually Saturday, apart from being very green, was a good day, logic prevailed in a big way. But that’s a story for another day. :wink: :slight_smile:

While we’re on the subject…just WHAT is expected when the love of your life asks your to “Do the dishes”?

In my ignorance…I went into the Kitchen, filled half the sink with hot soapy water…then proceeded to wash all eating/food preparation utensils…rinsed them and stacked them in the drainer to dry…there after returning said items to their respective areas of repose…

…I am then informed that I am a piss poor dishwasher, and if I can;t do any better than that not to bother at alll…

…Somewhere along the way…the chore titled “Doing the Dishes” expeanded to iinclude wiping down all horizontal surfaces, clean the stove and oven, taking out the garbage (wether its full or not, patrol the house emptying all cans til th e bag is full) and wiping down the table and the chairs! Shessh thats “cleaning the Kitchen” totally different task altogether!!!

Allison and I have a simple rule relative to things of that nature...

“If you think you can do better, who am I to deny you the opportunity?”

Strangely, she’s never once complained about how I empty the kitty litter…

This is defiantely a female thing…of all the people I’ve polled on the topic 100% of the males say that doing the dishes means just that…

The wimmin folk on the other hand…a couple agreed with me, “just cause thats how men think” couple others agreed that it “wasn’t unreasonable” and one other suggested added vacuumuing and toliet cleaning duties to the chore…

Why don’t Marriage Licenses come with Instruction Manuals?

The teenage version is to wash the 3 dishes in the sink and leave the rest on the table…and washing dishes does NOT include pots and pans! :frowning:

You should be more like us over here. In our hut, doing the dishes means scraping the last piece of boiled moss off the plate we share between the fourteen of us, with a piece of twig, which we then save for breakfast the next day.

Thankfully, we have no flat surfaces either, as the wattle and daub [that’s a mixture of clay, cow-dung and chopped straw] construction has none, as you know, and in any case, even if the walls did get dirty, who’s to tell the difference, eh?

Table?

Chair?

But you do have central heating -- the firepit in the middle of the hut. Now you just have to work out how to capture all that methane gas from the swine, install penny-in-the-slot meters, and make a killing in the heating market.

Meanwhile, out here in Hy Breasail, the frostbite season is fading and the time of early mud is upon us. The pack ice on Peter’s Pond is cracking, and the tribes are waiting for the Friar to poke his nose out of his hibernaculum to look for his shadow.
