It makes me giggle every time I see a Ramjet masterpiece.  I can just picture him sitting there putting on the finishing touches to the primary focus and then sitting back and contemplating the best place to put Bert.

I can see him laughing his ass off thinking about us fools spending time trying to find Bert.

Last night I was talking with the wife on the phone while we were both driving home (both on Bluetooth, not holding a phone).  All of a sudden she say “oh God!” Followed by a bunch of muffled noises for 5 seconds or so.  I truly thought I was hearing her have a car accident.  Turns out she had run up on a median of some sort.  As she tried to move the car off of it, she could hear scraping underneath the car.  I told her to call AAA and not tear the hole in the oil pan trying to move the car.  A Good Samaritan was able to check it out and help her back the car off the obstruction with no apparent damage to the car. 
 

This morning she calls me and tells me she ripped the passenger side mirror off the fucking car backing the car out of the garage. 
 

For fuck sake.   She’s done that at least 3-4 times with her previous cars.  

Just how hawt is she?

If she drives like that and you still talk to her on the phone while she's driving then that's on you

No, just having a bad spell. I can’t remember that she’s ever had an accident that was her fault.  
Of course knocking mirrors off the car is not ideal.

My wife is very levelheaded and has never made an appearance in this thread. But when we first started dating, I bought tickets to a Soundgarden concert. I told her we were leaving at 5:30 sharp. At 5:30, she still had wet hair, and still wasn’t dressed. I went without her. 29 years later, and she hasn’t made that mistake since.

I've had a similar experience with the a Mrs. and by contrast I'm still catching shit about it on a regular basis 25 years later.

On sale….

 

that doesn’t sound very wifeish.

It was such a good deal she bought four of them in case one ever breaks.  Put the rest in storage where she will forget either where they are or that she has them.

Wife took yesterday and today off work to "get the house cleaned before Christmas."  

At about 2pm today, I looked around and the house was a complete wreck, so I got guilted into helping.  

So I grabbed a basket sitting on the counter that had about 100 old magazines in it and started to sort through them.  Made a throw-away pile and a keep pile.  She came over a few minutes later to go through the piles, and pulled a National Geographic out of the throwaway pile.  

(If you go back about 4 years in this thread, you'll find a post from me detailing our argument over her NG collection, part of which she moved from Seattle to Honolulu in 1995, and more which she moved from Honolulu to Texas in 1999.)

Me: "No!  We are not saving National Geographics again!"

Her: "I just want this one!"

Me: "WHY????"

Her: "Because I want to read it."

Here's the issue in question:

You have a basket of 30 year old magazines in your house? 

 

Not any more.

This seems like a collective effort. 

Nope, the oldest thing I had in the basket was a 2019 Dave Campbell issue.

And she wanted to save a bunch of old Texas Monthlies until I said, "THESE ARE ON THE INTERNET!!!"

Who buys just one potato? And if you were going to tie a bag around a potato, you’d complete the knot. And since the other bag obviously opened okay, you’d either put the potato in that bag or try another bag.

I think that’s fake. 

Who buys just one potato? - women who are making a recipe that calls for 1 potato

And if you were going to tie a bag around a potato, you’d complete the knot. - oh right, everyone knows that, great catch

And since the other bag obviously opened okay - what other bag obviously opened ok? Are you having hot flashes?

Those are bags from the checkout register, not produce bags.

They look similar but I can buy that. I still question the single potato purchase (what recipe calls for one potato in a household of at least two people?) and the half-tied knot. 
 

It’s weird. I buy potatoes by the bag and I’m a single guy who often uses just one potato when cooking. When I buy other things like onions, garlic, lemons, or limes, where I’m just buying one or two of each, I won’t bother with a produce bag.

Magazines are still a thing?

Oh yeah. I get the New Yorker delivered to my house. Seems like I get one about every 36 hours. They go into little box I have. About every 2 months I dump the box into the trash having never opened a single one.

Of course you do things logically...you are not a wife.

I like the New Yorker. I wouldn’t read it either but I do miss the days when we had time for long reads.
