I'm Pretty Organized

[Jeff '79]

My wife is not.
I have a place for everything and I put things away in their place when I'm done. This goes for tools right down to paper files and computer pic files and documents.
I get everything together to open my Koi pond and I'm missing a 7" hose with reducers on each end which connects my pump to the waterfall and the UV light thing. :banghead:
Time for a drink and a little VBOT. Fk it... It'll turn up somewhere... I hope, otherwise I have to order the reducer ends.

[lspencer534]

A 7" hose? I'd look under the bed.

I don't get it

I don't get it

Neither does she

Reason for the 7 inches :Jeff '79:

[MrPeabody]

My wife's problem is using the wrong tool for the wrong job.

"Honey. where is our Wusthoff carving knife?"

"It's in the back yard."

"What's it doing in the back yard"

"I was using it to dig some holes to plant some flowers."

:yesnod::leaving:


Whenever something is missing, she says the same thing: "It's around here somewhere."

Six months later when it turns up: "See, I told you it was here."


To those of you not married yet, getting used to these things is the secret to a successful marriage.:cert:

Oh, like a dildo?

My wife is notorious for ruining scissors on things like copper wire and such.
I bought her 5 pairs of scissors and she still goes in my desk drawer and uses mine. :wtf:
I hear you. She has ruined many a tool for me...:yesnod:

[DAB]

had a nice pair of tin snips...for cutting thin sheet metal, like ductwork. Mrs. DAB 'borrowed' them one day to cut some wire.....now they are her's, and i keep my new set of good tin snips locked in the shop. sigh....

:rofl: Being into crafts and sewing, my wife has an array of scissors that I don't dare touch. I have a Swiss Army knife.:lol:

Right-cutting or left-cutting snips? What good is one?

[MrPeabody]

Doesn't matter when you're cutting wire.

[DAB]

yellow handle straight cut.

now i have a set of 3, right,left,straight. :smash:

[Jeff '79]

Doesn't matter when you're cutting wire.

They just don't get that there is a correct tool for everything.
Or that shit rusts if you leave it outside...

Barb used to think my roofing axe was a good tool to dig holes in the backyard. :banghead:

Actually, it is. I use a hatchet to plant all small flowers.

I used to have my own tools, a hammer, needlenose pliers, tape measure and assorted sizes of Phillips head and regular screwdrivers in a drawer. They disappeared when the sons lived here. I asked why didn't they go to the shop and get their own tools. Their answer was because mine were in the drawer and they didn't want to walk outside to the shop.

:Jeff '79::slap:

I used a hatchet last year to plant several hundred Pachysandras. They are under Cypress trees, and a hoe or a shovel would have taken months because of the tree roots. Keep the hatchet sharp...and aim well.

I learned the hard way to keep my tools under lock and key. 2-3 years ago some thief went into my unlocked work shop and stole hundreds of dollars worth of tools. I hate a damned thief.

[LisaJohn]

Our shop got robbed several years ago. Scumbags took weedeater, blower, chainsaws, bucket of tie downs, tools and a broken non-working cb radio. Some of my sons friends pulled into our driveway at 5am and scared them off. They were all meeting at our house to go to 'Dega race. Thieves had parked on the side of the road and walked to the shop. John found several tools in the yard. The po po didn't care.

Ugggh. I dread the day that happens to me. That's gotta be so totally bogus to have to deal with , especially the invasion part of it.

She's at it again. For Christmas, among other things, she bought me a bottle of Woodford Reserve. It came with two very nice high ball glasses. They are my favorite glasses for drinking bourbon on the rocks. I just opened the refrigerator and there they were. Filled with Jello.:leaving:

Bought my wife a toolbox full of the basics you note and more.

She still asked to "borrow" my tools.

I finally realized that "can I borrow" means "will you do it" :Jeff '79:

Well when she starts searching for the screw gun, ya, then I get the hint, but to do crafts and ruin scissors cutting copper wire over and over? C'mon!!

The women come and they go, and all my stuff is still here like I left it. :lol:

Kids are okay once they hit 55-years old. But at age 65 they start deciding which nursing home to put you in.
