I’ll add to have her get a set of throw pillows where she can just buy new pillow cases to change it up.

Extra pillow storage takes up space.

The more you know..........

He favorite thing is to leave a speck of something in a jar so it doesn't have to be thrown away. As in a small spoonful of yogurt, a smear of jam, or my latest favorite, 1 slice of pickled jalapeno in a quart jar. It's been there for a month and I will not eat it on principle (even though I really want to).

It's called division of labor.

Tuesday night is garbage night in my neighborhood.

Accept that which you cannot change and move on. N.P.'s.

Vacuum cleaner lying in the middle of the living room. Left it there. On Friday I say "... and it's been sitting there for F'n 5 days" "No it hasn't. I just vacuumed" "Yeh, on Monday. That's 5 days ago!" Or I could have just put it away Tuesday.

Found that one out too.
Apparently there is a difference between bathroom hand towels and kitchen hand towels.

Just get the whole pillow. You run the risk she goes to the fabric shop and gets the imported Italian or English fabric and has to get the covers custom made.

That's less money you have for your needs like a bespoke tailored suit and custom shirt.

Not sure why you Neanderthals can't figure out the difference between hand towels and dish towels. Dish towels have chickens printed on them or say Williams-Sonoma or some shit like that.

I just leave and go by myself. She could show or not, still looks like an ass.

This is so funny because it;s true.

My wife took some pork chops out of the freezer this morning and put them on the counter to thaw. Thinking this was a bad idea I put them in the oven to protect them from our dogs. Fast forward a few hours, she takes them out of the oven and puts them on the counter, not the back of the counter where they might be safe but right at the front edge of the counter. She then walks away. Well fuck me, we're not having pork chops tonight. It's not like this is the first time she's done this either. Fuck! Oh well the dogs are happy.

My wife keeps a hand towel (with a pithy saying printed on it) hanging on the oven door handle, next to a normal one; god help you if you use the Looking Towel and not the Using Towel to dry your hands.

This thread makes me happy to be single.

this^^

I got my own rituals here or even at GF's place but I don't sweat the small stuff

if she want to use the cheese cutter to slice the non-cheese, i'm just happy she is cutting whatever she is cutting

besides i'm more concerned about important things

like getting laid and y'all shoudl be too

And that TR, is a dangerous mindset!

You know nothing I tell ya!

Does your GF cut the cheese often?

XXX-er, a lot of chicks take iron supplements which tends to plug them up a bit, so they take fiber pills. One of the downsides of those fiber pills is the flatulence. Instead of pills or supplements, a diet rich in natural iron i.e. spinach can help alleviate some of this.

Been thinking the same thing. Wonder if we could track who's gone over? Pretty sure I posted (jokingly, irony-free, and never an inkling of what was to come) here before there.........

Raw spinach is actually a poor source of iron. It contains a lot of iron but it also contains a lot of oxalic acid, which prevents iron absorption. Supposedly cooking the spinach makes the iron more bioavailable but I've seen conflicting views on that.

And now you know...

Color me informed. What would you suggest for XXX-ers gf then?

There's quite a few. Fortified cereal (most big brands) has a lot. Beef, dried fruit (apricots and prunes especially), chocolate, nuts...liver has a ton if you like that...there's lists you can google pretty easily. I have a problem with too much iron so I have to watch what I eat is why I'm pretty much up on this shit.

she is not cutting the cheese she is misusing the cutco cheese knife eh but who cares ?

a present from the GF before this one

113 $ to cut the cheese

sounds like y'all are more into soft stool than getting busy ?

Question: Is anybody else's wife incapable of wringing out the sponge and putting it in the sponge holder when done? Do they all just drop the wet sponge in the sink to ferment in its own lovely smelling dirty dish water? Or is it just my beautiful bride

This is Mrs C every time.

Then she complains the sponge is smelly and throws it away. Doesn't grasp that rinsing, wringing, and drying = less growth.

Ok thank you that makes me feel a *little* bit better. Kind of

"EWWW this sponge smells GROSS" *chucks in trash*
*takes new one out, washes pot, drops NEW sponge, still soaking wet, into sink and walks away* :cussing::rolleyes2

I bought a sponge holder/dish soap dispenser to encourage a new habit of actually taking the extra 1 second to squeeze the sponge and drop it into the holder instead of just dropping the wet sponge into the sink. Nope.

Kate for the win. For almost 18 months my wife and kids were dropping hints on getting a new dog (current model is almost 11). I've been around dogs my whole life, lots of dogs. I'm all "we don't need a new dog" "seriously, I can not stress this enough, we do not need a new dog". Of course my mom the internationally renowned dog breeder and show judge gets in on it. So for Christmas "we" get a puppy for delivery in February. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, not really a DOG dog but whatever. Well of course who ends up looking after it or gets up to take it out at all hours of the night in all kinds of weather? The rest of the time its listening to the new dog getting scolded or yelled at or called to whomever wants to play with it. Peace and quiet, is all I want.
