The trials of being home alone

[Bob Wemm]

SHMBO has been away at our daughters for nearly a week now and looks like being there for at least another 3 or 4 days.

SO, I had three options this morning as I put my last pair of clean undies on.

1. Turn them inside out and wear them again, or
2. Go to the shop and buy some more, or
3. Do the washing.

So I elected to do the washing for the first time in our married life, 46 years.
Goes to show, there is always something to learn everyday.

Bob.:wink:

I hope you didn't mix your brights with your whites.

You might end up with pink underwear !

 

[Krash]

That gives a whole new meaning to Down Under, hey mate? :wink:

Bob; If you own 3 pair of underware you should be covered for 12 days. !st day wear then normaly. 2ed day turn them around front to back. 3ed day turn then insde out. 4th day switch them front to back again. After that it's camo until the misses returns, or option 2 or 3. You could also take a shower with them on and get by with one pair. My wife seldom lets me touch the washer or dryer. I have had pink underware in the past. Lots of luck !! Jim S

You could just keep wearin em.If they get too crusty just chuck them up and make a bowl.Gas mask and face shield required.

Now, that is a possibility I hadn't thought of.
Thanks for the idea.
I wonder how an "UNDERBOWL" would go at an Exhibition????????
Raises all sorts of, well, I don't know!!

Bob:tongue:

 

[Kenny Durrant]

As long as your in a craft show that would be ok but keep it covered when your outside. Here in the States they will arrest an exhibitionist.

 

[johncrane]

Bob! you should've gone feral, :tongue: not good if the flies are bad

 

[toddlajoie]

There is a 4th option, just bring them in the shower with you...

 

[Dalecamino]

Throw them against the wall. If they don't stick, you're good.:biggrin:

This posting reminds me of an ad that always made me laugh.

So Bob how are you going to explain to your wife that you have clean clothes.

Dan, she already knows.
I had to ask her how to turn the machine on.:redface:
It's got about 10 buttons???????

If anyone asks what it's for, you can tell them it's a bowl for holding assorted nuts. :biggrin: :tongue:

My husband retired while I was still working. At that point, he took over doing the laundry. (He used it as an excuse to buy a big fancy pair of Maytags.) That was fifteen years ago, and he is still doing all the laundry. I barely know how to run the machines. I REALLY appreciate it, too!

 

[sbwertz]

The only time my husband wound up with pink underwear was when a big open can of Hawaiian Punch tipped over in the little refrigerator in the travel trailer. His undies were in the drawer under the fridge. He wore pink undies for the whole trip.

PAAARRRTTTYYY!!! at Bob's house!!!!

Pffffft.hahaha

Just do the same thing they say for jeans, put them in the freezer at the end of the day when you are done wearing them. The cold of the freezer kills any bacteria.

It's a fact, look it up.

That would bring tears to your eyes first thing in the morning!!!
You would have to make sure you went to the loo first.

Know the feeling Bob, my wife was in the hospital from the beginning of December to the middle of April... so I was left at home alone with nobody to talk to except the dogs and the cat... they're demanding, but lousy conversationalists.... fortunately, prior to my current marriage I spent 15 years as a single dad, so I had to learn all the intricacies of being a bachelor, housekeeping, laundry, cooking, child care, etc....... but at my age now, bachelorhood sucks.

Betty has been away since Monday, hopefully she is coming back tomorrow.
We don't have any pets anymore, only stuffed ones and they are even less conversationalists (Geez, that's a big word). The lizards usually run for cover so there is no help from them.
The "Willy Wagtail" birds have just hatched out 3 chicks on the front verandah, but they are not much company either, just go beserk if I go anywhere near the nest.
Oh well, life goes on.
Better go and finish the couple of pens I'm making.

Bob.

Your Betty sounds like a wonderful wife!...don't forget to tell her so.
Congrats on the 46!

I do tell her often.
She thinks I'm crawling, but I know when I'm onto a good thing.

Cheers,
Bob.

You could of been like Naked and Afraid.. Just wear your birthday suit. Then put them back on before she got home..

 

[Bob Wemm]

She is still not home.
You know I just might have to resort to the naked thing.
Don't know how the neighbours will handle my "Fabulous Physique" though????
