Wives, don't you just love 'em ...
Posted by SteamPunk on Monday, December 27, 2010 12:44 PM

I spent nearly an hour earlier looking for a piece of PE brass that decided to make a bid for freedom by leaping into the carpet under my modelling bench.  After much swearing my wife came in to ask what the matter was.  She told me to get out of the way and within 30 seconds she had found the part ....    Love you Shaz.   lol.

My wife is actually pretty good with this skill too....   although I am stubborn and will search for a long time before I enlist her assistance.

 

Ok,, now go make me a sandwich...........

Enjoy the ride!

My Wife would have came in with a vacuum cleaner...  I have to ask my Daughter to look for anything that escapes to the floor nowadays.  I can't get down on the floor to look anymore.  Usually getting the Daughter to help requires a substantial bribe of candy or promises of playing video games with her.  I think that she enjoys kicking my butt at video games.  Did I mention she is a big tomboy...?

We really should start a parts exchange to share resources and spare parts bins...  I have so far been saved from scrapping kits by at least three people here.  I would love to be able to help some others that may be in a similar situation.  All it would take would be a sub forum for it.  Or even a sticky thread in one or more forums.

Recovering parts from the CM? go barefoot, or put a stocking over the end of the Hoover (panty-hose over the vacuum cleaner for those that don't speak ENGLISH Stick out tongue)

When mine does that, I remind her how many times I've been married...

My wife prefers it when I am out of town working, that way she doesn't have to deal with me getting frustrated with a little piece of PE that the CM got.  No she wont help find it.

It takes a brave man to post something like that in a forum that there is even a 1 in a million chance of his wife seeing it if she looks at his monitor at the wrong time...  I salute you...
