    When you lob one to a pro you’re gonna get slammed.

    Times have been I’d take the seven minute, best legal speed, home from work if I was using the stove prior to leaving. In all these years it’s only been justified when I had the oven on intended overnight coasting, just letting the ribs slow cook on retained heat. I got up from bed to pee, noticed the oven’s glow.I also have a problem with my dryer, timer not working and it runs heat or air until the door opens. I plan to shop around for the model and replace the timer once I get sliders to access the back. Last night i got up to make sure i stopped the heated drying after the wash load. It was off but still.

    Janis wants to be a liberated woman, until there’s work to be done.

    Did you put out the clock and wind up the cat?

    I drive my “Janis” crazy with things like oven, crockpot, etc. Can’t help it, I was a Fire Chief at a US Penitentiary for two years. I lock a lot of doors too.

    I looked it up: To break serve means that your opponent is serving, starting a round of back-and-forths by hitting the ball first——but if you win one of those rounds, then you get to serve instead, “breaking” your opponent’s streak of serving. Sorry I can’t make it less wordy.

    Arlo is right. Look at how effortlessly she worked her way to winning this point with her eyes closed!

    Life got a littler simpler when I installed mechanical timers on all four water spigots.

    “Charcoal fire?”

    Does she mean “the grill?”

    I do my checklist before I hit the pillow, and as Santa would say I check it twice, missing one can lead to even more questions

    this level of ‘control’ makes one worry about how hard anything going wrong will hit

    I take care of everything before bed. I would never have this conversation with my husband. His answer to everything would be “I don’t know”.

    I occasionally forget to lock the front door. Nothing bad has happened in the last fifty years.

    Where on Earth do they call a barbecue a “charcoal fire”?

    The last time I left a glass of water out like that, I almost drank a centipede.

    Check the garage door? Nothing more disconcerting than finding it open when you get up in the morning.

    My wife just made me throw out our empty boxes last week. Then I needed one to mail a package. I actually had to buy an empty package at the post office.

    My ex had (at the time) undiagnosed OCD and would go through this every night, and every time we left the house. Years later when she was finally diagnosed with the disorder, she found meds that relieved her of the feeling of having to check the oven, front door, stove, unplugged small appliances, etc. multiple times each day. Though I never had the disorder, I did have to live with it through her. I’m happy for anyone who can find a resolution to such a slavish mental issue.

    Once while leaving for a week-long car cruise, I had forgotten something at the house so we turned back since we were still within 2 miles of the house. When I went into the house, my cat was crying out of control and the house was hot. In the few minutes we were gone, our upstairs thermostat went nuts and decided to turn on the heat (this was in the middle of summer). It was already 99 degrees F in the house when I entered. Thankfully all I needed to do was turn off the system, which of course meant no air either. I opened the upstairs windows so the night air could cool off the house and away we went. Talk about luck! If I hadn’t forgotten something, and I don’t even remember what it was now, my poor kitties probably would not have survived. I probably would not have a house either, it would have caught fire.

    Go get in the car and go get some ice cream, and a hot dog, and a six pack. Be gone an hour. Janis won’t sleep the rest of the night. Revenge is sweet.

    You wonder what, if any, chores she’s responsible for.

    My partner and I have the same checklist before checking out. Ours also includes accounting for 6 beasts. Same routine whenever we leave the house, got it down pat.

    I remember back in the mid 60s my mother reading an article out of the paper about a car getting stolen across the lake. And she said I guess we’re going to have to start locking our doors. I thought to myself why now? After all they stole the car not the house. But why haven’t we been locking the house all along?

    It is amazing how many things are stolen from inside cars left unlocked outside at night.
