It's only when they have a large solid object in their hand that ya gotta worry... Those cast iron pans pack a wallop!

Experience?

Yeah...when she's at work and you're at home alone......I know she would slap you silly!

Regards!

I didn't say that I say those things loud enough for her to hear them.

Many years ago I jokingly pointed out that I was bigger and stronger than she.
She jokingly(?) pointed out that, though that was true, I would have to go to sleep eventually.

Reminds me of a joke my best friend once told me. He's from Malaysia and we had just met.

"What do you do if your dishwasher stops working? ... Slap the *insertwordforafemalecaninehere*!"

I didn't get it. I just stood there wondering what's so funny about slapping an electrical appliance to get it to work again. He had to explain to me that pretty much every upper-middle class family in Malaysia has a live-in maid. I met his family's one years later when I visited, she's lovely and being treated as part of the family, so thankfully the joke was just that

Yesterday's fall off the bone baby back ribs, grilled in 3.5 hours, and NO BOILING INVOLVED, nuff said.

What a coincidence, Bob. We had ribs yesterday too.
Big, meaty country style ribs.
Rubbed with Famous Dave's rib rub and properly boiled prior to finishing in the oven.

I made crumbed beef schnitzel with baked potatoes last night. My wife decided we need vegetables with that.

I have to repeatedly remind my wife that potatoes are vegetables.
She insists that they don't count because they aren't green.

From a botanical standpoint they are, from a nutritional standpoint they are classified as starchy foods. In the UK they don't actually count as one of your recommended 'five-a-day'.

I have this same problem. But then, chicken is a vegetable and that's not green either. Except when it's 3 weeks old in a broken refrigerator.

Mrs Rupert is standing over my shoulder looking at those and drooling.

Wish I could get someone that cheap here.

I would estimate I mow about 4 acres of my 6.17 acre parcel. The rest is woods. It would cost a small fortune to pay someone to come way out here in the sticks to mow and trim. Takes most of a day for us, using a walk behind mower to trim around tress, etc., a Kubota diesel riding mower with a 52" deck to go around the house, shop, garden and perimeter, and the full sized Kubota L260 tractor with a 6 foot wide 3 point mounted PTO driven finish mower.

My mom's favorite threat for us kids... She was not joking, quite certain of that!
