OH is a retired chef Sue. He doesn't boil veg he cooks it in a wok, no water just a drop of olive oil and throws in some herbs.
Can you hire him out? We have a company here called 'Hire-a-Hubby'. (for all those things like roof leaks, painting, small maintenance jobs and such, just to clarify) I wonder do they have chefs as well.
Wish we had 'Hire a Hubby' here , my OH is a fantastic chef but.........he is useless at DIY. I've been saying for a while that we need a new kitchen but he didn't listen (do men listen?), then, the sink tap started to drip, drip, drip, he couldn't justify paying a plumber to fit a new tap washer but neither did he have the slightest idea how to fix it himself. One day I got up to find him with some plumbers tape in hand, a pair of scissors and he proceeded to wrap the sticky tape around the leak!!!!! Hmm, me, a mere (sarcastic) woman knew that wouldn't work. Well, the upshot was: HE decided we need a new kitchen. Men's logic isn't easy, is it?
Fellas on here...do not read this hint I have found that's the easiest way to get things fixed, Make an excuse so they have to use it, then it will will quickly become their idea to have it fixed!
My Mum had it right!. Have a go at fixing it yourself. Grunt, groan, drop tools, carry on. "Here, give me the $%**^# thing, I'll do it"
Mine is regularly used to store meat fillets while they get back to room temperature. My daughter's cat doesn't know how to open the door.
Right now I need a new motor for my rear window wiper on my car. 1st. snow of the season I will make sure hubby drives my car. Right now when it rains he says use your side mirrors instead cause you can still see through the raindrops. Well, he won't be able to see through 6 inches of wet sticky snow and it will be here soon.
Isn't shocking to see, in black and white, how women manipulate, dare I say exploit, us poor males and the lengths they go to.
My brother's daily ritual seems to be to walk to his local coffee shop, where they know his order and greet him as a friend every morning. When I am visiting him (he lives in Canberra) I join in the ritual. He has been going to this coffee shop for at least 15 years, I know this as his son is now 16 and originally he went with my nephew in pram: he is a stay at home Dad having retired early before his son was born.
Oh Derek, it is so hard for us when we are so completely misunderstood. Our motives are of the purest, after all: so we hide our pain and soldier on!!!
