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

Man there's a lot of us in this club. We gotta form a support group or some shit.

In about 10 years I'll get a fat lazy yellow lab who sleeps by my chair while I sleep in it with a book on my face. Until then I'm good.

When you're ready for the dog, start a thread.

I'm seeing you with something more regal than a yellow lab or these shelter dogs that look like Bangladeshi street dogs.

[iceman]

Regal eh? My first dog, we got it when I was 2, was a collie which creatively got named Lassie. Maybe it'll be time to close the circle by then...



Better that than the Irish Setter we got when Lassie started slowing down. Gorgeous animal. Regal you might even say. Also, dumb as a post. And crazy. Nah.

[easyrdr]

I'm with you ice.

Since this whole thing started, 13 year old daughter hit me with wanting a rabbit (her friends rabbit is due any day), 15 year old daughter wants a COVID emotional support turtle (her words), wife wants a puppy because the two dogs we have are old (8 and 10 respectively). I am known as Mr. No. I am also the only one that walks, feeds, picks up poop, does vet visits, fills water bowls etc. No way in hell we are bringing anything else in this house.

I have said no about 20 times in the last two months and yet they still ask. 3 against one is not good odds but I'm staying strong. I will straight up lose my shit if any one of them show up with anything.

[Timberridge]

That's more like it ice. We could commission an oil painting of you and the dog.

[iceman]

@easy: solidarity my brother.

If we could photoshop a joint in his left hand that would be fairly close.

[Timberridge]

I'm sure somewhere here there's a mag talented with the brush.

[Self Jupiter]

Throw some stitches on the pants while you’re at it

I loved that show as a kid and love those dogs, but you rarely see them around anymore. I saw one at Killington last spring.=beautiful dog. Irish setters are another dog you rarely see nowadays.

the dog world has been taken over by doodles. seems like 1/3 to 1/2 of all dogs I see these days are some kind of doodle. I'm one of the culprits.

Less hair on the face and more on the head?

[DBdude]

like getting laid and y'all shoudl be too

you have negotiated the social distancing and sex issue?

[iceman]

ha, yeah that too. And maybe a libation close at hand would be a nice touch.

13 and 15 year old kid!!!

Man I feel old. Seems like yesterday when we were all talking about you living in the back of a truck.

1. If you must use a sponge in the kitchen, it goes in the dishwasher every run and on the drying rack thingy otherwise. (Must also know how to load a dishwasher!) [emoji3061]

2. Separate houses or bedrooms sounds like a win to me (for the sleeping/space part).

3. I love my dog and all but JHC they are a pain in the ass. Today my daughter said, "I want a Macaw they look so fun!" Ummm, what about the cat and dog you don't take care of??

4. +1 for being single!! But I sure could use someone to do those projects around the house.

Fabulous thread gentleman!

O Really? How long? A minute on high?

[riser4]

Until it slows down to more than 2 seconds between pops. Wait, what?

[XXX-er]

not at all, she had to close down, freaked out lashed out, none of which was much fun

I try to be helpful bring food/groceries/ some delightful pinot noirs but I just look like a smuck for having all my ducks in a row it would seem

so some social distancing is in order for now, go paddling or biking putter about which is way less hassle

So its not easy to find a guy who knows a good pinot noir & can see his feet while standing erect up here in the frozen narth ... i imagine it will just be a phase eh

[Buster Highmen]

30 seconds, time to boil a cup of water.

[HD333]

Wife: how about we order from ABC tonight?
Me: sure I’ll find something.

Her suggested place is not high on my list but we are stuck in the house together after all and not wanting to end up in the Tammy Wynette thread I proceed to look at the menu and find something that will do, I convince myself that will be good.

Fast forward I head downstairs and declare I found something and to just let me know what she wants and I’ll call whenever.

Wife: Actually why don’t we just get sushi instead.

Arrrghhh

Yup. Add this to the list of universals.

ever tried it with the half yellow half green scotchbrite types?
I read that there's metal in the green stuff, but haven't risked trying it myself
