Well, son, let me give you a bit of advice. I can honestly say my spouse is responsible for 4 of the happiest years of my life. Of course, we’ve been married for over 3 decades……..

Do not waste time or $$$ on bribes . She WILL get even, bribes or naught. Trust me on this one. You will not know when, where, or even how. Just trust that it will happen and that you may not even know about it unless you detect an unusually satisfied evil grin from the corner of your eye. Also- especially if she is the beneficiary of your life insurance policy- hide your ’sorb supply. If you do not, then for the next several months, at LEAST, sniff to check that used kitty litter has not been substituted!

Duck and Cover!

I actually thought this was quote of the day!

It wont have the same effect if she has to pay for her own rags.

It may just be the difference between the UK and Australia but I think Mike's wife definately has them on at the moment!!

(apologies to our female members)

Also, how do you get one of those buzzing things in the bucket get up to ultrasonic speeds?? What size/power batteries are required??

Cheers

(I know, it's all just too wrong!!

Superb!!!

I would imagine (not having much...any experience with said devices) That this depends very much on the size of your bucket?? Generators? KVA?

Don't know about battery power, but if you plug a 110 V buzzer into a 220 V outlet in Germany it shakes till it smokes.

You could always say that you were steilising her toothbrush because you had dropped it on the floor, and it's a coincidence that you were sterilising the Rebreather bits at the same time.

I would advise taping a toothbrush under the sink and using that, with a decoy one that she can scrub the bog with in plain sight. Think how devious you can be and go with that.

No matter what you're probably screwed either way...

Everybody knows that despite womens protestatiojns the answer is always - SHOES AND HANDBAGS
The questions is how many , of what colour are required to egt you off the hook?

If shoes and handbags are the solution you better hope they aren't the high end variety ..... Shoes for $800+ as well as handbags ..... I had to bribe my old lady for a boo boo I did and it cost me $1350. Be very careful when you go that route. It's always better when you don't get caught.

Skelator ... Giggles

Or you could just use a couple of these floating round in the sink I am sure they would do the job, might make a good bribe as well

Whether you are looking for a very discreet massager or you just want to relax in the tub with a new friend, this product is for you. You may also find it useful if your husband or boyfriend seems intimidated by the thought of a personal massager. Who could be intimidated by this little guy.

Why did you use a tooth brush?

Put it in the dishwasher. Works much better, and far less effort.

Unless it is an Inspo. Mine is certified by the factory to be not dishwasher proof.

Any case, bribes are a bad idea - it makes them feel as if they have control. You know what they really want when they get angry...

Cheers
