Eventually the water evaporates and then the pot melts on the stove. Trust me I know.

Nonstick pans left on the stove on high when the water runs out is not a good experience. The smell stays in the house for a while.

Between Saturday and Sunday, spent over $130 on shit like this f59932e32b37f15784b6428eedfe7ce5.jpg81f2c09f9b9eb73670879847289ae73c.jpg

And we still don’t have the basics. So guess who has to actually go to the store now.

Unbelievable how lazy she has gotten with those damn apps. And then she has the nerve to complain about the vegetables that she let someone pick for her.

I've said it elsewhere, but this is the same woman who became incredibly, violently mad at me because I couldn't remove the lock on the water meter when the water was shutoff at our house due to nonpayment and she was the one that had not paid the bill in over two months.

this is her isn't it

The real fucking bullshit part about the apps is that men build them for women to use.  Fuck those guys, guarantee they're all fucking single.  

Because they know it's like crack to them. Sitting around in their pjs with titties unharnessed and they can still shop! They know we're cussing them, FUPM. Same with a thousand other stupid ass things they burn cash on. They make bank on it. Zero fucks given.

Now when I say it's buried, it's actually beneath about a 1/2" of some plastic pieces, so even if you found "the spot", you wouldn't see anything.  So you have to dig 1/2" in to find it.

Well apparently she only dug in about a 1/4" because "IT'S NOT IN HERE!!!!!"

Guess where it was.

At some point in your marriage, you need to give her something longer than 1/4” as a point of reference.

INTRODUCTION:  In this experiment, the goal was to determine how many questions the Subject (my wife) would ask in a given day.
HYPOTHESIS:  It will be more than I imagine but no number will surprise.  My responses will not have any impact on the subject.  
ENVIRONMENT:  Tester will do nothing to influence the subject to ask more or less questions.  Tester will answer/not answer in normal fashion.
Experiment to be conducted on the day of leaving Nashville and returning to Home Base (4 hours travel time) and will start at 6am and end upon lights out, whenever that may be . 
Tester sets the O/U at 51.5 questions.  

Sixty Two.  62.  She asked 62 fucking questions.  (In a row?)  Well, sort of.  I'm not sure I said 62 words all day long.  
Plus, she slept for 2 hours on the car. And I had to take a 2 hour nap when we got home.  

Next time, I will count how many times I answer  "I don't know".   Any other suggestions for the next stage of this experiment?

I really hope you wore a plain white tee and marked the questions as tick marks with a sharpie like they did on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

A few ideas to run either as standalone or as some sort of codependent variable:

 

A: How many questions does she ask where you have the exact same  knowledge base I.e. watching a movie together for the first time. 
 

B: How many questions does she ask with optional answers where the answer you give is ignored in favor of the other option. 
 

C. How many questions does she ask that she continues to explain and justify even after receiving an answer.

A -  Time included one movie.  This accounted for a mere 8 questions.  Less than normal.
B - Good idea.
C - This is SOP for her.  I try to ignore this behavior.  

I've thought about a subtotal for questions she can easily find the answer to.  e.g., "What time is it", "Is it going to rain today", "Do I need a coat",

Another category for questions I have no fucking way of answering:  e.g., "Where is my phone", "Why did that guy turn in front of you like that", "Where is my phone", "Why are they (some person I don't know) selling their house", "Where is my phone".

Here's some bullshit:

My wife routinely sets her IPhone alarm super early (~5AM) so that she can either get up and go to Orange Theory fitness class down the street or get to work early when she's got something to present in a meeting. However, she also routinely snoozes for half an hour and lets the alarm go off multiple times before getting up. That's actually not the part that bothers me, as I can usually sleep right through it.

No, the problem is that either she's pressing the wrong button or something is jacked up with her phone, b/c it's not terribly uncommon for her to still be laying there asleep when I wake up around 6:30 or so, with no further alarms going off. In the past I've woken her up and been like "hey didn't you need to get up this morning" and the answer is usually delivered in a pissy tone, either that she didn't get into class from the waiting list, or over-snoozed and missed it, or she just never heard her alarm at all. This is a recurring problem.

Cue this morning, I wake up at usual time and she's still dead asleep in bed. I hop up and get dressed for the gym, getting home around 8. I walk up to my bedroom and wife's in the shower and starts half-ass yelling about "don't ever leave for the gym without waking me up, I'm so fucking late and needed to get a bunch of shit done at work this morning." Basically blamed me for letting her sleep so late (despite no mention the night before of needing to get up early today).

This weekend I will be purchasing one good old-fashioned alarm clock and placing it over on the chest of drawers, out of arms reach, where she can't possibly accidentally turn it off without getting up.

I look forward to hearing how this made things worse and how it's your fault.

Pretty sure the response is that grown ups can usually wake themselves up when needed and she should try it.

Want to know how I know you don’t have kids?

This one veers into the technical side of things and CR posts, but here goes. For someone as smart as she is, she's still a women and she must think there's a bigot under every bed. 

Me: "All I am saying is that the standard deviation for measuring men's mathematical ability is higher than for women. The mean is about the same but the spread is wider. There are more men than women on the high end and there are more men than women on the low end. You're an engineer. I know you know what I mean. It's not all attributable to discrimination."

Ms CL: "Oh yeah? Then how come my high school calculus teacher looked at the classroom on the first day of school and said, 'There are too many girls in here'"?

Me: "What percentage were women?"

Ms CL: "About 60%"

Me: "Did any drop out? How many?"

Ms CL: "About half"

Me: "So by the end there were more boys than girls?"

Ms CL: "Yes"

Me: "You realize what you're saying?"

Ms CL: "Yes, the teacher was biased against girls."

.

.

<Conversation continues for a while - we talk in circles>

.

.

Me: "I know you understand what I am saying about there being more men at either end of the curve. It's basic statistics.I know you know how a normal distribution works."

Ms CL: "Yes. But I'm the only girl engineer at my job. Shouldn't there be more like 30%?" (Guess she's referring to the calculus class thing?)

Me: "No, the further down the curve you get, the ratio of men to women should get much higher. It might be 10 or 5 or 1 percent women by the time you get to really advanced fields like what you do."

Ms CL: "Then if there is no discrimination, how come the further I have gone in my career, there have been fewer and fewer women?"

Me: "Good point. I think I'm going to go surf Shaggy for a while."
