DH took my car today! I think smoke is coming out of my ears right now. He didn't even ask and all my mail keys are in there, grocery bags, etc. I can't believe he didn't ask!

So annoyed right now.
OMGoodness! My hubby would be sleeping in the garage tonight if he did that!

Passwords, we sort of share. Though when DH went on FB he didn't tell me his. Just that he'd gone on FB. (I'm not.) One morning something got in me and I decided to break into his account. Took me one try to guess his PW and bingo! I was in.
That's funny! I can relate to the detective aspect of just seeing if you could do it!

My hubby has taken care of himself too. That's why it was funny when he came to me to show me he was getting fat. He wears 32" waist. Even with the few pounds he gained while recovering from surgery, he is far from fat. He'll be back in shape in no time once the doctor says he's allowed to do whatever he wants. The inactivity is boring him.

Well, now I have time to burn until he comes home for lunch with my car. He apologized for not asking (how nice of him).

Anywho - we don't really share passwords either, but he uses the same password for a lot of stuff, so I can easily guess. Nothing much to hide, so no one cares. He leaves his email up on the ipad - that's how non-concerned he is of someone reading anything. I never do but I am always surprised he just leaves it open on there for all to see. We're connected on facebook, so that's a non-issue as well.

As far as porn - okay, this is horrible/funny. I always jokingly ask DS when he's on his computer - "hey watcha doing - looking at porn?" because we know what he's always on and addicted to - the jeep forum.

That's funny. I do the same thing with DH, but he's always on some food safety forum discussing e coli strains, or something equally wicked!

Mr. Dew is always looking at something horse related. Yawn.

Or planes. Forgot the planes.

Got the rest of the stuccoing done. Except for the places I can't reach. I don't do high ladders if no one is home. Yay, me. (I also cussed out every woopecker I saw.)

I'm still organizing my house. The last of the laundry will be done today. (Washing winter clothes for storage and washing spring close coming out of storage.)

By next week, I'm hoping to have the attic cleaned out. I'm tossing tons of stuff.

Hubby thinks it will take me two months to finish this huge project of reorganizing the house to prepare for remodeling.

I'm aiming for two weeks to prove him wrong!

Need to vent.....

Vacuum was running rough so spent awhile and replaced both belts, cleaned the beater bar, replaced the bag...whole shebang....sweet. Love it when that's all new and runs great. Until the new belt kept slipping off. Several times. And it is a real PITA to take apart and replace the belt. I bought a decent brand but not the "Hoover" brand. I have had this vacuum for years and with Macie I have to replace the belt every couple of months. I have never had this issue before. I could just scream... My vacuum cleaner is laying in the family room right now, all apart and I'm giving it the evil eye everytime I walk by. Think it will help?

You have my total understanding mm. I bought a very expensive Hoover and after a year it gave up the ghost. Did exactly what you have done. Nothing.

DH now brings home a cheap $100 vacuum every year or so. He doesn't usually admit defeat but he refuses to work on the old ones when they quit working. (I don't even try. Asthma. He handles anything dust related, bless him.)

I'd sit and glare at it with a glass of wine in my hand if I were you.

Sorry to hear of your vacuum troubles! We had the exact same problem with our old one too.. I finally bit the bullet a few years ago and bought a $400 Dyson- probably the best 400 dollars I've ever spent.

Thanks Dew....This isn't an expensive vacuum...it's just a Hoover Windtunnel (w/bag) from Costco. Probably had it 5 yrs. Usually runs great and I've been happy with it. We're hard on vacuums....but because I go through so many belts, I grabbed some 3M brand at Walmart (I always fear having a belt break or need replaced when I'm vacuuming right before guests or something when I don't have time to run out and replace) instead of the Hoover brand at the little mom and pop Vac-n-Sew I usually go to. The belt just keeps slipping right off....grrr....I may well need that glass of wine!

Straw - I know....everyone I know swears by their Dyson. I just can't seem to want to spend that much. Plus...I hate the bagless thing. I don't want to deal with cleaning out a canister and having dust and dog hair floating around. I want to take the bag out and toss it and be done.....
