^ Hats off to you, dude. I certainly wouldn't do your job (waaaaay too lazy for that).

Was supposed to apply a second coat of paint on one of my walls...seven years ago...see the picture.

Cheers!

What lame negative advice. My wife does many things for me she probably does not want to do and she does them to the best of her ability. Why would I ever want to repay her by doing a job badly? She deserves the best effort I can put forth. If you think your method is a secret to a happy marriage I will let you in on another secret.....you are fooling yourself.

Agreed, I have too much pride in myself and respect for my honey that I would only do the best job possible, even begrudgingly. But what has kept ours going strong is that we each teach each other our masterful skills. She's brought me into the kitchen and I've brought her into the home improvement world. That's how you strike a strong marriage, by growing together.

End of sermon.

I have an innate aversion to doing a piss-poor job of anything, regardless of who it's for and for why, so would struggle to do it on purpose. However, putting a red item in the wash with the whites was purely a clumsy accident (honest) and one I'm not permitted to repeat, as is failing to remove tissues from trouser pockets, not turning socks right-side-out and forgetting to unbutton the cuffs on a shirt. One of the downsides of being married to a teacher is having to do things over and over again until I get them right... (though that's not always a downside Wink

). Conversely, she-who-must-be-obeyed's practical DIY skills, and the speed and precision with which they are carried out, have yet to improve so it's simpler to occupy her with tasks that are not on the critical path yet have an inbuilt sense of achievement once they are completed as long as they do not involve her getting "icky", "mucky", or "yucky" (so unblocking drains is an undertaking I have to do solo), or requires any physical excursion, necessitates the adept use of tools (and care thereof - nothing chills the blood quicker than the sight of one's better half reaching for a wood chisel to lever the lid off a tin of paint...), or needs to be performed with any degree of accuracy that cannot be measured to the nearest yard (or metre). The last one there being a complete mystery to me as she can cut and sow cloth to millimetre precision but ask her to do the same with wood or wallpaper and the next thing you know we're driving off to the supply depot for extra supplies of wood, paper or both to make up the inexplicable short-fall. Even getting her to recite the "measure twice, cut once" mantra at the same time fails here so I suspect the multitasking claim is a myth (it's certainly one I've never witnessed firsthand myself - unless ignoring me while watch TV counts).

That said, I wouldn't swap her for the world (mainly because I've got nowhere to keep it).

What?

That makes me feel better k. (Up until tomorrow when I feel short again)

My eyes can and will stare into your soul if you look for too long hence I generally wear sunglasses.

Hi Mikah - long time no see

Nice pic.

Oh btw have you checked out Ochre's new album? It is gorgeous (although much in the same vein as Lemodie...ahh hell I'm not complaining).

Lo-fi electronic? What are some of the acts you've been listening to? Just curious to see what lo-fi electronc stands for
