Seen It All

Silsbee, TX(Zone 9a)

I want a fridge that mixes the proper amount of ingredients for a recipe, then pops it into the attached oven and automatically cooks it for me. Now THAT would sell.

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

Now your talkin'.
Remember Lost in Space and the washer, she would put in the clothes and they would come out all clean, dry and even folded. I am waiting for that one.

Silsbee, TX(Zone 9a)

LOL! I think they've already invented what we want and it's called a maid.

Rutland , MA(Zone 5b)

i guess men call it a wife. LOL now don't go crazy on me. i was just kidding around. have a great day watchng t.v. on the fridge.

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

Too funny.

Silsbee, TX(Zone 9a)

ROTFLOL Herbie. I think you're right. You know, every time I see an older man in his 80+ that's alone I always feel so bad for him...I know he's just lost w/out his wife...and I just know the socks he has on don't match. Hmmm, now there's another invention that would sell...a sock mater!

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

Oh, I am a terrible wife then. I try to match the socks, but yet later in the morning I see two, kind of alike, socks on the dresser with a note that reads "I bet there is another pair just like these in the drawer!"
The washer eats just one.
Or how about when one beige one accidently gets in with the whites that I bleached and then there is one lighter colored than the other.
I am thinking about going to the dollar store and getting a hundred socks that he can wear once and throw away. LOL

Silsbee, TX(Zone 9a)

ooooh, disposable socks! Now, that's what I need. Not because my feet stink, but just so I don't have to do laundry.

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

There you go. A million dollar idea. If people will buy water in a bottle, why not disposable socks?
(I have purchased a few of those dollar socks, they look really nice, but get holes in them after about 2 times wearing.)

Yall are out of control. LOL

Humph. If he is so good at seeing the difference, just dump them all into the drawer, and he may choose the "perfect pair" to suit his fancy. Leaving a note seems a bit over the top :)

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

No, the note is in jest. It is just a tease and I know it. When he makes a mistake, I do not let him forget it, so he tries to catch me too.
Seems like we are about even. Doing more as we get older. It is kind of a joke with us.
He got a note when making chili in the crock pot one early, early morning. When I got up, I went to stir it and the hamburg was still in the clear wrap. Good thing I had ck'd it before going to work.
That was many years ago, and yes, we still laugh about it.
The note said something about how I prefer the hamburg unwrapped in my chili.

Parts, too funny!

Hubby has issues with socks. His ex wife was, to put it mildly, not interested
or apparently even aware of housekeeping and laundry. For whatever reason,
instead of addressing the issue with her or doing the laundry himself, he would
just buy new socks when he couldn't find a matching pair.

In our 13 years together, there have been three days he did not have socks
in his dresser drawer, and that was only because they were in the laundry
basket - clean, mind you. He teases that it's fine, he'll just go out and buy more.
Oh, no you won't!

LOL

Gladwin, MI(Zone 5a)

My hubby always picks up after himself and never throws anything in the laundry inside-out. That in itself is sooo wonderful. He also always does dishes. So a little teasing never bothers me, as long as he can take some teasing back.

Rutland , MA(Zone 5b)

my cousin mike, for as long as i have know him has NEVER worn the same pair of socks twice. after each use he throws them away. don't ask me why.

Wilton, CA(Zone 9b)

I have a friend who's son (33yr) throws away two things every morning, the bar of soap and the toilet paper left on the roll from yesterday. Has been doing this since childhood. He also use to drain the hot water out of the tank every morning, but after several yrs of this his mom insisted that he stop.
Totally off the subject that was started...but related to herbies comment; maybe these guys are cousins or something.

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

Wow, Sac, that is just crazy-OCD. I feel bad for him!

Wilton, CA(Zone 9b)

yeah, it's really sad, he's never had a job. With he's OCD, there's a laundry list of things that he "MUST" do everyday. as with Herbie's cousin, this guy won't wear a white t-shirt twice. anyway last year he got girlfriend and they are living "happliy ever after", planning a Oct 08 wedding. Guess she's happy to support him; and the house will be clean!

Hulbert, OK(Zone 7a)

Whew, and I thought some of my OCD habits were off the wall.
