I Suspect That Many of Us Have Been There

It’s MY area!! YOU don’t go in it. YOU don’t touch anything. YOU don’t even think about moving ANYTHING!!

 

On penalty of certain, slow, and excruciating DEATH!!

Thing is, you need to pick a smart one.

If "there" is on instagram, I haven't.

My experience was quite minor. I'm lucky to have found a good one that knows what not to touch.

On this occasion, I had cut some old 2x6 into short blocks for lifting my old truck up on cement blocks to get the weight off the tires. Went to do it and the blocks of wood had turned into a box kindling for the fireplace!!🤠❤️

I've had something similar happen.  I had one of my sewing projects laid out on the cutting table, ready to assemble.  He wanted to borrow my 18" see through ruler.  He put everything away just so he could find the ruler, and get glue all over it.  I was able to put the pattern pieces back in order but he had to replace my ruler.  He doesn't go in the sewing room now.

That he would dare! I never enter the sewing room, the quilting space or the loom room without a reason.  The opposite applies to the office and the loading room!

Going to the sewing room. Geez.

 

A year or so after I got married my wife wanted something that was in her purse, and sent me for it. I came back with her purse and handed it to her. She told me that all I had to do was get it. I told her that I was trained from a very young age there's no way in hell do you go into a woman's purse. I didn't go into Mama's purse. Daddy didn't go into Mama's purse. You don't go into somebody's purse. You take it to them and let them go into it. But you don't go into it.

 

My wife couldn't understand that. I tried to explain that it was like she doesn't go into my wallet, and she looked sort of guilty.

Schoolmarm asked me to get something out of her purse. I refused!

 

I brought her the purse and it took her five minutes to find what she wanted.

 

I stood there and looked on.

When she finished and started putting stuff back in there, I told her that too many things are in there that she may never find, that it was a quantum black hole, and that I didn’t want to be sucked into it!!

 

She doesn’t ask me to do that anymore and she KNOWS not to open my wallet!  She will fetch it and hand it to me!

First, a woman's purse is indeed a quantum black hole -- Blackwater spake truly indeed! -- I told my wife I was afraid if I reached in to get whatever it was she wanted, something in there would grab me, yank me in, lump me up and kick me out and I still wouldn't find it!

Second, my father told me of a contemporary who, as a young man, detail disassembled an original .44 rimfire Henry rifle.

His Mama threw a cleaning fit and took the cigar box of parts and threw them into the sulfur crick behind the house.

During a flood.

When she was given to understand the dollar value of what she'd done, she looked like she wished she could crawl under the linoleum and slink off.

My buddy's wife "tidied up" his very extensive reloading bench.

The only bright spot was that she didn't throw anything away.

It was literally years before he re-found everything.

[Alpo]

I don't remember if this was a joke or a cartoon. But the wife tidied up the reloading bench, and he had all those partial bottles of powder and she combined them. Now they took up less room.

It was meme a while back!

The only thing i know about the wife’s purse is that it’s important for the purse and wallet to match.  Some things you just don’t question, I’m told.
