Controlling Husband

 One of Barb's good friends just left her controlling husband who had kept Barb and her apart. Anyway, like a controlling husband, I asked Barb "When are you leaving?" Then I asked her "When will you be home?" Barb knew I wasn't a typical controlling husband and knew that eventually I would get to my point. Then I asked "Did she have time to cut my hair?"

Coffee Maker Mishap

 I drink Tim Horton's Instant Coffee all day long. About six cups a day. But Barb wants me to drink decaff after dinner. Tonight after Barb went to bed, I set up a pot in the filtered coffee maker. As I was working, I wondered if I had put the pot under the filter because once I had forgotten to do that and the coffee overflowed the filter and went all over the counter. But I didn't go to check. Later when I went to get a cup of coffee, I noticed that the pot was only half full. I realized that in my hurry I had put the pot on crooked. When the coffee came out, the pot tipped a little and the nozzle on the filter closed. So, no coffee could come out. So I straightened out the pot and the coffee started flowing again. I poured myself a cup and when I put my milk in, there were grinds floating in my coffee. So I looked closer at the coffee maker and realized the filter had overflowed. Fortunately, it didn't spill out all over the counter and down the side of the stove. But I should have trusted my gut feeling that something was wrong when I thought of it. Anyway, I threw out the whole pot of coffee and the bottom of the pot was all grinds. I had a Diet Coke instead.

Who Loves Ya

 Today, Barb was talking about me to a lady at Pickleball and she said "You really love him, don't you".

Secrets Under My Desk

 I eat chips and peanuts as a midnight snack at my desk and I am always dropping some and they land under my desk where I can't reach them. Today Barb was mopping the floor of the house and came into my room and mopped under my desk. She mopped out all these chips and peanuts and said "Ivan, you are just asking for bugs".

Memory Stick Mistake

 I threw out a brand new memory stick and didn't realize it until I found out a couple of weeks later that I was trying to use the USB mouse plug as a memory stick and I couldn't figure out why it didn't work.

Bobby

 Barb met a new lady at Pickleball. Her name is Bobby and she is so nice and happy that she makes Barb laugh. For example, when she was serving today, she said "0-0-2 Please". Barb had to laugh because who says Please when they serve.

Mixing Good Old Stories with Good New Stories

 With two years of little pieces of paper accumulated, I decided to mix the old stories in gradually with the new stories and I want you to guess whether the post is an old story or a new story. Here we go.
