That darned cat is right. [And probably sick of lookin’ at his family.]

Funny and clever.

Kinda like how women of my generation and before felt about their spouses being home, the first year after retiring. Hee,hee.

We always joke our dogs are the biggest democrats always wanting to laze around and get handouts.

That’s great! Funny and true.

Cats just love social distancing. And dogs love company.

Hey PJ. I know a guy who retired from the Postal service. Two weeks later he got a job in a local Mercantile and Liquor store. He couldn’t stand his wife nagging at him 24/7.
He’s been laid off due to this mess, and I hope he’s still alive.

Lazlo still gets to work, for which I am grateful.
Angus thinks I should stay home and laze in the yard like him.

Genius, wish I could read these two columns. I guess these came out of the paywalled WSJ, so that’s not going to be possible.

Sarthurk, lolol. Hope they didn’t kill each other.
Unfortunately, I’m not a nag. I have 5 year rule, which I may have to cut shorter ( hee, hee) as we age. I ask once. Wait 5 years, ask again, then when the task takes him 15 minutes I feel I built up much, much equity. 🙂

PJ,
This analogy is a little odd, but nagging is like dumping a bucket of sand in the toilet, and then expecting it to function.

Sarthurk, yep. I don’t even nag about DH eating more vegies – I just do a 50-50 split on them at the table. No words needed that way. Hee,hee.

PJ, I’ve never been married, but would this work?
Ask once. If not done in 24 hours, do it yourself. Depending on how handy you are with whatever project you requested your honey to accomplish, you might find him more accommodating for the next project.
Or, you just might inherit a new job if you did it properly!

I’m with the cat………..

This “essential” light bulb validation engineer has a cat & dog, that have no idea what all this fuss is about. But I’m still disturbed by owning a cat that lets a 60lb dog sniff it’s butt. I mean, seriously…

Claudia, it would work as soon as I pulled out tools. Lololol

PJ, hehehe

I love that President Trump gets the fact that Biden is like gum stuck on the bottom of Obama’s shoe. LOL! Also, President Trump has a great sense of humor.
Claudia can put a re-manufactured 350 motor in a Suburban in 24 hours? That also means taking out the old motor.
About 15 years ago my dear wife said something about a motor swap taking too long. I said something to the effect of, “The next motor that needs renewal YOU will be there 100% of the time. From discovery, to order, to receiving, to removal, to installation, to tests, to start up, to road test.”
And she was there through all of it the next time and other next times.
There wasn’t any more cussing the mechanic after that.

I had an airhead Beetle fall off the jack on me. My fault, yeah I know. Took me down like 50 pounds of shit in a 10 pound sack. Right above my right knee about half the weight of the car.
Why am I telling this story?
Yeah, you come back in the house covered in grease and blood, snot and cigar butts, and say, “It’s done.”

“What happened to you?”
“Nothing.”
