I get texts from the wife all the time like this - how do I change the AC setting, my cell phone/computer/iPad isn't working right, the [thing] is making a funny noise, my car is doing [something she thinks it shouldn't], etc. I was a tanker, so I was trained to break things and blow them up as well. I can be in the middle of meetings, etc., and I get buzzed all the time with text messages - "call me because..." Grump.

You should limit your purported expertise in said subject matter. If your reply to all queries was, "Gee, I dunno. If I ran it over with a 63 ton MBT, would that help? If not, that's all I got."

Well that takes the GRUMPY right out of it. But I guess that's ok....GP

Not really - that reply should make her grumpy, and that's OK. We are an equal opportunity Grump University.

Some other things I never learned. 'Yes, dear'. Oh and, 'you're right, I'm wrong'.

Maybe that's why I'm divorced.

If you had to pick one, would it be the grenade launcher or Capt. Morgan?

No, there are no minefields on Gotland.

No snow here yet. Maybe this weekend. Plenty up in the Adirondacks though, I miss it up there, haven't been in some time now. Booked a flight to Chi-town as a prelude to the UP in MI. Should be fun, provided the snow holds. Fingers crossed.

Hey, you kids get off my lawn.
