i just figured i would drop in and see whats going on. im on my 2nd cup of coffee and just finished rearranging the kitchen cabinets (ok smart asses ...their contents not the actual cabinets..im not norman) which is sure to make Jenn expend building materials when she gets home from church.....she hates it when i rearrange things! so i figured i would sit and chat with you folks for a spell before i go rearrange the pantry. how are we all? where are norm and andy?
..... Well we know what Norm is doing..., as for Andy...:confused:. As for the pantry.... Deb did this to me years ago, we watched a movie with Julia Roberts where she escaped from a pysco nut bar marrige by faking her own death...to be found and stocked by nut bar hubby. One of his things was all the caned food labels must be facing forward pefectly. I would joke about this now and then. We went mega shopping one day and I brout it up later as I was about to make dinner and I started acting like pysco in the movie to then open the pantry and.... OMG all the labls were perfect.... was almost creepy
The other day I mentioned to Marcia that we (meaning me..) should rearrange the pantry - not enough space in it now for canned goods, etc. She said, "Don't you touch it. It's fine....." Her kitchen. Her rules. Okeydokey....
Mornin Ian same here...2nd cup...now i must go do something constructive...like cleaning....my house is about 3 hubcaps away from being on HOARDERS
rick...i realized i was getting old...when i got excited about getting a new vacuum!...but man! does it clean nice!
Good afternoon to all! I think I had tooooo much coffee this morning (like 5 or 6) at one point I think I could see through time. Pulled the door panel off an Alero and was shaking like crazy. Totally jacked up regulator lots of cable stuck in the window motor rigged it to stay up and sent them on their way.
The only time I go in my wife's kitchen is to get from the dining room or living room to the back door. We rarely use the front door. Once I looked in her pantry and got scared.

The Mrs has given up watching me stock our pantry. It's become my domain and she rarely touches it. I was a pretty severe OCD case in my younger days and a lot of it still lingers. She hates seeing me open a case of pop and put each can onto a shelf all facing the same direction.
Reminds me of The "Odd Couple", and "Monk the Defective Detective." I'm a little like that but my wife just sort of tosses cans in the fridge and pantry. Some actually end upright. As long as she knows how to cook it and the beer's cold it doesn't matter.
I live very dangerously. My wife is a neat-freak - so I'll move something subtle. It will be back the next time I go past. I'll do it again, and again, and.............then the hammer falls :Blasting_anim: and I'm out in my shop or up in the den When her mom was alive we'd set traps for my wife. Her mom and I would sit at the breakfast nook, and her mom would get up and put a small coffee spill/stain on the counter, then put the coffee pot back, then further along the counter the dish towel. We'd wait and as my DW would come in, looking for her coffee, she'd automatically swing past us saying good morning, grab the towel, wipe the counter from end to end making sure to spend a moment on the spill, and pour her coffee without missing a beat. We'd crack up and she'd look at us like "what????". Never told her till years later when she caught her mom in the act. So, every now and then, I do the same. It could be toothpaste on the bathroom sink or a piece of hair from my beard strategically placed to stand out when she's walking past, an on purpose tea ring on the counter - I feel I'm channeling her mom when I do this so it must be legal, right????
