Wanted: a replacement husband to switch places with MH for 24-48 hours
MH is on a kick these last few days where he says "that's about a useful as a...." every few minutes. Some of the most recent:
"That's about as useful as: a tornado in a button factory
: a potato in a vacuum cleaner
: a tomato in a chicken coop
: china in a bull shop
Seriously. He's driving me INSANE! He knows it's annoying but he just cannot help himself.
I am willing to consider any husband who is:
mute
handy around the house
a good cook/baker
filthy rich and with a compulsion to buy gifts
Must be good with cats and dogs.
"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky." -- Ranier Maria Rilke

Annnnd once again, I think YH and MH are kindred souls!
My DH is very quiet and pretty handy around the house but he's not such a great cook and he is terrible at buying gifts. Likes cats; dogs are ok if they are big and calm.
He also says, "A man running for his life would never notice" when trying to discount obvious defects in his handiwork. That's great, but I'm not running at 5+ mph when I'm looking at a picture hanging crooked on the wall in my house.
You're not doing a good job of selling YH as a potential switch option, here, Kimberly! LOL
And hanging crooked photos is something MH and I do together-- so we can negotiate how crooked is too crooked not to fix!
Hahaha. MH is the exact opposite. He insists on using a laser level, regular level, square, and measuring tape to hang things on walls. It's ridiculous.
I would trade you mine, but he's got a couple of gems of his own that would probably make you completely batty, although the man can bake the hell outta some bread! His recent favorite is referring to some of my more outgoing girlfriends as a "spicy dish" and every time we see middle school aged kids when we're driving around he yells out "hood rats!". I think his tourettes is acting up again.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that Wayne is suddenly stricken with temporary voice loss so you can get some peace!

JGreg, please send your husband over to my house stat... I asked DH to hang a shelf in the closet and it is SO crooked... it's killing me. I've added things to the shelf to try to make it look more balanced!
hahaha...this is all making me lol...I know my H has some doozies himself, but naturally none come to mind at this moment
he's mildly handy and is actually an amazingly thoughtful and creative gift giver...but he doesn't cook and he is leery of pets that aren't ours...
hmmm....mine is mute most of the time...runs a hardware store so there's the handy bit...unfortunatly wouldn't know a ladle from a spatula and it's no go on the monies & the gifties....fantastic with the wee furries.
Though he is a great lover of puns so...
