I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

[wyeaster]

Wife, in complete meltdown mode, crying:
"this fucking piece of shit snow blower wont start! I tried everything! And the cord I brought out wouldn't reach so I had to drag the thing out of the shed to 'meet' (?) the cord and now its just stuck outside cause I can't get it back inside!! Why does nothing we have work??" (Snowblower is 1 year old. Proper length extension cord, in closet by front door, JUST FOR HER to not have to pull start snowblower)
Me:
"Uh, is the gas on?"
Wife:
Silence
Snowblower turning over and starting
Dial tone

funny

No way. Seriously, my only complaint. I haven't had a full night's sleep in over a year. FML

earplugs

[MakersTeleMark]

He is super cheap. I mean, I'm thrifty, but holy shit. Really, he is mostly awesome. But there are some things...

Do you each have your own rolls of tp?

[wyeaster]

My wife snores like a drunk old man. Ear plugs have changed my life.

i didn't read everything before posting

[hikesalot]

Meh- BBI better than MMF. Explain it that way. That should go over well.

Perfect. I had to google it, but yeah, he'd be like, get yourself to BBI asap

[hikesalot]

no, everything is combined. I have my standards.

I am on fire tonight.... so we are in this new house... I shower & it's barely luke warm ( I like hot). I mention it to hubby, he says, well, I guess that's as hot as it gets. I'm like, unless the water heater is turned all the way up, please go turn it fucking higher. A-hole trying to save money. hehe

Fwiw more times than not it is the mixing valve/anti scald ring that needs to be adjusted by taking the handle off in the shower. Google it for the quick fix if your water is hot enough elsewhere.

We had a hot water issue a while back, and I said I was going to to go fix the hot water, and she goes, are you going to call the city?
Me - uh, no? Why should I call them?
Her - well don't we get hot water from the city?
Me - well we get water from the city. But the city doesn't heat it, we have a water heater and pay for gas to heat the water in the water heater. The water heater is downstairs.
Her - oh.
And I walk away thinking, how the hell can you go through life with no understanding at all about how things work.

she married you

thanks, ugly. very helpful

follow up question - so the shower is now good, but the kitchen sink is scalding on hot. anything I can do about that? Or just deal? Anti-scald ring on kitchen sink? Can I just adjust that?

[MakersTeleMark]

So he just does all the shopping because you don't need all that shit in your life?

[wyeaster]

I have a portable air compressor too. Separate device, didn't see an all in one product (not surprised to hear one exists though), but they seem different enough that it seems best to have separate products.

i have an all in one and it is awesome

[wyeaster]

He informed me that he only belongs because he can get it for free on his mom's membership (he's her extra card & she pays). SO, I can't get another card. And I want nothing to do with his mother. AND who the hell still is on their mom's membership at age... well, in his 40s. I can't take it. But he won't budge on it.

uh oh. mom.

No. You are an asshole. All men are not like you. I know this.

[wyeaster]

I think we might need some pictures and details here hikesalot. Sounds like your hubby is an idiot.

undoubtedly fitting right in at tgr!

This.

nope, not that.

I wish. Did you see where I bought my own Christmas gifts because I didn't want him stressing with the craziness of the move? (he does work a lot). Well, anyway, I just don't need 3 HUDGE bottles of ketchup, etc. I just need a normal amount. You know, one bottle.

Edit: u r a peach tonight MTM. Bad snow or just need to get laid? [emoji867][emoji12]

Adjust the shower valve then turn the water heater back down.

Turn down the heater on the hot water tank. 65% of the time, it works every tine

So with water heater where it is at and shower turned to full heat it is good, but the kitchen is scalding on hot. So what say you? I cannot go colder in the shower. Willing to deal with kitchen. Willing to try ugly's recco. Will report back.

Edit: hubby fast asleep, snoring might i add, so once again thanks mags.

Is the system supplied by only one source? ie; an electric/ or gas hot water tank? Or do you have a heat pump, or geothermal system as well?. I'm no expert, BTW. Sometimes, if the house is large, with several hundred feet of hot water pipe, the finished lines(at the fixtures) at the end of long runs will be cooler then ones very short and close to the heat source. In my house, anyway

Pretty sure only one heat source - gas hot water tank. Kitchen very close to it, master bathroom pretty far.

Well, I'd say your getting super hot water because it's close to the source, so yeah, you can only affect the temp if you've got a way to adjust at the faucet. Or put up with cooler water at the shower. Or, you could wrap the pipe running hot water to the shower with closed cell foam(if accessable) to stop heat loss, then turn down the heat at the tank. Just an idea.

I'm good on the snow and sex front.

But let me put it this way:

You bitch about your husband for being an idiot with the car, but do the same exact thing;
You bitch about your husband not adjusting the hot water heater, but won't do do it yourself, and still want to expose the great roll reversal in the house;
You bitch about the shower being just right now, but now the sink is too hot, even though you could choose to add a little cold water when using it;
You bitch about buying your own Christmas presents, but got exactly what you wanted knowing your husband wouldn't be able to;
You bitch about how you could never shop at Sam's Club, but you seem to find a way to use all that damn toilet paper and who knows what else he buys.

You take a thread like this, and trying to prove a point that it goes both ways, which it does, and turn it into one which proves the exact point of this thread.

If you want a peach, don't go looking in the padded room.

[hikesalot]

Yes. And not really riled up about any of it. Padded room, right?
