The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 16, 2024

Wherever you want to take me.

You’re buying!

Feed Brutus soon . . . He’s had a hard day at the Tea Cozy Company !

Does the laundry once a week, Nobody cleans their house everyday, maybe a little touch up. loaded the dishwasher, took the kid to school and stopped at the market

@Old man 2718- And it had better be to Olive Gardens or Applebees! !

Gladys should get a job outside the home so she can work less.

vicious cycle…

Let’s be honest. She works at her own speed, makes her own decisions, has no boss standing over her, doesn’t have to deal with cut-throat office politics, and nobiody forced her to do all that in one day. Once the kiddies are old enough for school, she will have time every day to lean back, read, call and chat with her friends, go to the hair dresser’s for a pedicure… I saw how my mother had lots of free time in the week, while my father was on his feet all day and often didn’t get home until after I was in bed. Plus worked Saturdays one out of every two weeks (he was a pharmacist). Between the two, I always wished as a young kid that I were a girl instead of a guy… i saw all the advantages. Too bad today’s women can only complain!

You just HAD to ask…

Read the room.

Great, me also. I’ll just pop a Pizza in the microwave. Dinner in 3 minutes. Wash up. Yummy yummy, look out tummy. Or we can order take out. Or we can go out to eat. Your choice Brutus Honey Bee.

Time for Gladys to either delegate some chores or spread them out so they’re not being done in one day.

A “TO DO” list is in order…..☺️☺️☺️

What’s for dinner? Whatever you want to cook honey…

That 2 hour nap and 2 hour gab fest with the witch really cuts into productive time.

C’mon Brutus, order in, or get into the kitchen and cook for her.

Brutus arrives just in time !

Don’t get comfy, we’re going out for dinner.

Nice head band, but I don’t think she really works up a sweat.

there’s always that one more thing that’s needing to be done… boy am I dreading going grocery shopping today, cause work will be piling sky high when I get back home, with more adding to it after dinner. :L

A woman’s work is never done. That’s why God invented Pizza. Some of those frozen ones are actually pretty good. A little salad, a glass of beer or wine. Ice cream and leftover Christmas cookies and you got a feast…..

You had to ask.

“Surprise me. Wherever you want to go.” Count to 10 Gladys. Then 20, 30, etc.

Once again his timely is impeccably bad.

Bad timing Brutus…go grab a McDonalds burger…..

“Yes”, says Gladys, “just as soon as Pizza Hut delivers”…

OMG Stripey strikes again

One of the reasons Brutus is the Born Loser is that he has really lousy timing.

pizza!

Bill Burr does a great comedy bit on this subject!!!

Gladys must me an incredibly slow worker. I figure 3.5 hours would about cover it. Leaving her plenty of time for lunching and soap opering.

The only thing she’ll make for dinner is reservations

We (usually I) only do fresh cooking on weekends, making plenty to reheat on weeknights. Tonight it’s BBQ beef we did in the slow cooker the Sunday before last (I put the roast in there to thaw on Saturday; she unwrapped it, poured the sauce on it, and pushed the buttons). Thinking roast pork from last fall tomorrow night (after a slice of last Sunday’s meatloaf for lunch – she does the best meatloaf), last month’s baked chicken legs then summer-grilled brats on Thursday. Do almost always do takeaway on Friday. Saturday she’ll get fresh fish for me and a microwave dinner for herself; chicken gumbo on Sunday.

Brutus should not run in the door asking for dinner. My ex used to wake up on Sunday mornings, my only day off, and ask me what was for dinner. After a while of hearing that, I said it would be whatever he decided to cook. It at least made him wait until I was up and moving before he asked.
