OT - Just Finished My Favorite Chore

Post by COSteve »

Cleaning the basement carpet.



NOT!!

Yep, I got stuck with cleaning about 1,400sf of carpet in our walk out basement this morning. Because my reloading setup is down there the wife says it's all mine to keep clean because "I make the mess".

Funny thing is that the area around my reloading bench was nice and clean but the area around where she has her Wii Exercise Pad and Rockband always seems to have the most spots from the drinks that get spilled and the foot traffic plus the area around her workout machines is always dirtier than the area around mine.

But as all you fellas who've been married a goodly time know (37yrs this August), when the wife says "I make the mess" no amount of truth, logic, or common sense is going to carry the day. :lol:

Well you march right in there and tell her; "I feel so bad about being so messy that I need a pick-me-up and the only thing that can pick-me-up is a new gun!!!!!"

Things I've learned after 4 marraiges:
Two very important phrases to remember; "Yes Dear" and "I'm really sorry, it's my fault".
Never, NEVER, give anything relating to housework, cooking, etc, as a Christmas gift, B-day gift, or Anniversary gift. Nothing that relates to work. Always give girlie stuff; diamonds, silk, or smelly foo-foo (expensive stuff). And "anytime" flowers are a worthy investment! Cheaper than a divorce...

It'll be 41 years for us this June 15, and I do my handloading out in a shed, so I can be as messy as I want and she can't complain. She's not even allowed in the shed ... I mean ... my loading shack.

I once got my wife a big screen TV for Mother's Day. That didn't go over too well. 8)
