"A Web of Indifference"

I had quite the experience this morning.Just when I thought I'd hurt myself laughing enough this weekend, along comes Steve.This morning. I tell him,come help me change the sheets. He NEVER does that, but was game. Right out of the gate, he couldn't get the fresh pillowcases on the pillows. I told him, put the pillow under your chin,with the tag end down so it's in the pillowcase. He claimed I only told him that to slow him up,so I could get my pillowcases on first,- I didn't know we were having a race. Then he wound up,LORD knows how, with an inside out pillowcase, and NHRA Steve claimed, once again,*I* did it to slow him up. So by this time, I'm lol'ing. Now,for the fitted sheet.......we can understand not being able to translate the fitted sheet, I'm sure we've all short-sheeted ourselves,but once again,*I* was the culprit,only trying to slow him down. By now I can hardly contain myself. Then we get past the flat sheet, to the chenille cover....a light cover between the flat and the quilt. Do you think he could figure that out? NO!! The LINES were NOT STRAIGHT ! So,he claims he has ALWAYS HATED IT [OMG, I dont think he ever knew it was THERE] and it makes him too hot, he doesn't want it on the bed, and tried to convince me to THROW IT OUT. So now I'm crying I'm laughing so hard,and I look up at him,...and he is all innocence, he REALLY thinks he can convince me to throw out a BLANKET because it balked him. Just blew me away,I couldn't stand it anymore,I couldn't even shoo him outta the room, I was breathless. I have to think of what else he is clueless about around here,to ask him for help with next time I need some yuks. He is too damn funny for his own good. We aren't used to not having kids at home...at least on Sundays,Tony works. I could get used to this,I need to hit the lotto :o)

Do you know who just called? Shirla! She was IN Tarjay looking for the $%% hersheys pumpkin kisses,and they are out,so she's gonna try another store.Oh, if THAT is not friendship I don't know what is, my 'southern connection......TY SO M for trying Shirla,you know I appreciate it!

I've been kinda blue these last few days,..on wed-thurs-fri last week,I had to do part of a job that required all the manual dexterity and strength I could muster in my left hand,and I haven't been able to play Ruby without pain. I'm never sure if it's ok to play thru it,or if I'm creating a bigger problem by continuing to play,so I just keep playing :/ .....fish gotta swim......

Remember the tale I told you,about having to buy 2 TV's recently? Well,when Steve buys a big ticket item,he does so much research it drives everyone around the bend,over the river,thru the woods,and up a tree, BUT.......He is right.We got the latest consumer reports,and the 2 tV's he picked out were recommended by C.R :o) Nicely done,Dear :O)

You should have SEEN what I just had for dinner,it would have been food porn.Here in NY,we don't grill a lot off-season..first,because it's usually dark at dinner time,and second,we don't want to lure wild animals to us,either by the smell of the cooking or the juices left on the grill. [a garbage can is one thing,replacing Steves grill after a bear has had it's way with it,oh MAN, between the research and the cost,I'm get stabby right quick] We had porterhouse steaks,they were like a lil bit of heaven :o) I think from now on when something turns out that right I'll post a pic of it.

And two things,before I forget..tonight is Treehouse of Horrors #19,for those of you who care [and I do !]8pm est.
What was the other? Wait,I'll think of it,hold on......Hell. Wait......Yes!!!! Remember the blog entry,"Dramatizaion" where I said that I was offended by manufacturers,who felt I was so dumb that I wouldn't understand that the "stink monsters" coming out of the garbage can and sneakers were NOT real, so they had to say,in fine print,that the monsters were a "Dramatization? Well,it seems that manufacturers' do not like women,and have not for a long time.They think we're a bunch of stinky maroons! This was an actual old ad,concerning the use of Lysol,in the old days when it came in a small glass jar.Women were supposed to use it...............as a douche............to attract men,and break thru their "Web of indifference" There are so many things I could say about this that I have brain freeze. But I think I can read mens' minds here,and if the scent of Lysol was emanating from a womans' bajingo, I don't think men would be thinking about takin' the old one eye to the optometrist,they'd be thinking "where are my car keys?" ;o)

Here's a link if you cant read the text,OMG,I think the people that wrote the ad wrote soap operas too,they were regular two-gun Sams ;o)
