My wife should have her own recipe web site…

Not because she is a great cook (though she is!) but because she would be great at filling in all those meaningless paragraphs before you actually get to the details.
Here’s an actual conversation from today…
Me - “How many animal visits do you have today?” (Holidays are notoriously busy for Karla’s business)
Her - “Well, this year won’t be as busy as last year. We started taking reservations in September, and were completely loaded, but we had quite a few cancel due to illness. Rascal canceled, which made me feel bad, because I like taking care of him, but their parents are sick so Brenda isn’t going after all. Brenda was the one that I told you about that works for the Fairfax County Treasurer and has that keyboard, remember? Anyway, Rascal is one of my favorites, but he’s a long hair. He would drive your allergies nuts, so it’s probably best they canceled…(continue for 10 minutes…)”
Ten minutes later
Me - “So how many visits do you have today?”
Her - “Well, Sharon had to cancel her visits, so I have to cover. One of the cats needs subcutaneous fluids, and this is the first time I have administered to that cat, so I don’t know how long that will take…”
I still don’t know how many visits she has…

Yup. Heck, if something happens (spilled water all over the magazine or something). If she does it, I just grab a towel and we wipe it up. If I do it, you'll hear a few comments "what happened? why did you do that? etc..." which adds nothing to the situation. Men... see problem? Solve. Women... see problem? Add commentary, add emotion, flip coin when logic enters the chat.
Of course, this doesn't apply to our TNCR ladies
