The GF has been talking for over an hour straight now.....how do you women talk for so long?
My wife can turn a two minute conversation she had at work into a 30 minute story. I'll hear every word, verbatim, that was said. What she was thinking. What she thinks the other person was really thinking. What she thinks the other person could also have been thinking about. What the other person was wearing, in detail. And what kind of looks they were getting from people nearby.

We may need to have a talk with them. I think your wife and my gf are the same person

Not exactly sure.
The wife has certain lights in the house that she will turn off no matter what. Like our bedroom light she turns off when I'm in there folding clothes. Bathroom lights when myself or a kid is taking a shower. When it comes to her closet light, I need to turn that off every morning or any time she has been in there.

Are you sure it isn't a grow light in her closet?

The vixen is just the opposite - she will turn on a light upon entering a room, then leave and not turn it off. So I'll go by and turn it off, and she'll say, "What did you do that for? I was going back in there!" (Meaning, of course, at some point in her life.) :rolleyes:

While my phone is being repaired, I borrowed my moms cell phone to have something with me. Wife keeps sending large attachments to me. I try to explain that 10 year old flip phones cant handle that, but to no avail. Then I need to turn it off or the phone will try to download the thing and eat up the battery. Then she asks why she can't get ahold of me. At least Apple emailed me that my phone is being worked on yesterday.

Mine will actually turn a room light on as she is exiting. I can't figure it out, or get her to quit.:confused:

MrsWx is nearly the same way. I have often wondered when I leave for a weekend of if I were to die if any lights would ever get shut off.

Oh joy. Had the "Don't know which (HS) class to go to because I never got a schedule" dream last night. That's about the third or fourth time in my adult life of having that dream. Always high school...never college.

This is not to be confused with "Go and march the band field show you never, ever practiced" dream.
I just had the college dream of missing the first day of class because I couldn't find it. I'm 59 damn years old! Will it ever quit??

PapaLew & I have become vampires to a certain extent - stay up late, sleep in. With all the late night hosts on vacation we've been watching late night movies on Paramount (formerly Spike). Lots of macho commercials that I pretty much tune out, but one the other night...as it was "wrapping up" we both kind of looked at each other and said: "did we just watch a commercial for Trojans???"

Well, I suppose it beats ED pills...

Heads up In-law rant,

TL/dr: Wife's side can't make decisions and are inflexible. And why I HATE the holidays.

I vented in here and deleted to save you all, but I do feel better.

I HATE THE HOLIDAYS ALREADY!!!!!!

That makes me think of the scene in A Christmas Story when they are going out to get a Christmas tree and she turns off "The Lamp".
He asks her why she turned it off and she says she doesn't want to waste electricity. Every other light in the house is on.
