    Isn't that one of those books which, once you've read the title, you don't need to read the rest of the book?

    Actually - I think it is one of those books which, if you read it, you end up more confused about the subject than before you started to try to understand it.

    The Spouse takes car to repair shop and gets a ride home leaving the whole ring of keys with the car. After the ride is long out of sight, realizes where the house key is..... I get a call from my neighbor that The Spouse is camped out in front of the house, and not happy. I rush from work to the house, walk up the stairs pull open the screen door (non locking) and walk into the house. (The front door had been left open) I giggled. OOOOOOOooooooopppps. It took two weeks to live that one down.

    Only two weeks?

    You have a very amiable wife.

    My ribs ache from the effects of reading this thread.

    So, yesterday my wife had a dentist appointment and we were to meet up after. I had taken my pickup truck down to have a bed liner sprayed in. Now, she's been to this place/area several times with me....while I was driving. After I'd been there about 15-20 minutes she calls me on the cell phone...couldn't find the place. I managed to explain how to get there and she showed up a few minutes later. After we left, I found out she had been up and down that road a few times...




    wait for it....








    but not far enough and kept turning back since she thought it was right next to the turn.

    I just simply said, well....you weren't driving before so it would be easy to not realize exactly where it was. No problems... as long as I don't laugh about it.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
