#wdncw we do not care that this VHS tv still works! The basement glow up operation starts today and my husband needs to choose 1. Me or 2. The TV, there is no middle ground. FYI I‘m not divorcing him over a tv, I am just no longer cleaning, cooking, shopping or talking to him if he chooses the wrong option. Fun fact about me: I can hold a grudge

Tamra Bahahaha we do what we gotta do. 🙌🏾 3d
Susanita Yeah! 3d

Bookwormjillk Stand your ground in the war against old junk! 3d
Aims42 I got your back on this one! 3d
CBee Omg that was my TV like 20 years ago. Inherited from my parents….. but I didn‘t keep it! Why do some men feel the need to hang on to every single thing? Don‘t get me started on my oldest son‘s acorn and rock “collection.” 😅😅😂😂 3d
AmyG Our kitchen TV when the kids were young! ❤️ 3d
KadaGul @mcctrish In the ERA of STREAMING, what will he do with VHS TV? He can always buy a VHS 📼 & DVD player to hook up to the TV 📺 3d
mcctrish @Tamra @Susanita @TheBookHippie @Cuilin more grousing today 🤦🏻‍♀️not even about the tv, about the actual job itself 🤬🤬 3d
mcctrish @CBee we bought this 20+ years ago for the basement because this was the playroom and the boys could put a vhs in to watch and the tv turned on by itself 3d
mcctrish @AmyG but you, smart people, have moved upwards and onwards 👏🏻👏🏻 3d
mcctrish @KadaGul we have a flatscreen in the same space, we are upgrading to a larger screen to hang on the wall. We still have cable 🤯 so he sometimes has the 2 TVs showing the same show/game simultaneously for full immersion when exercising. But the new setup won‘t require this 3d
Susanita My spouse has about 20 ties. In over 30 years I‘ve seen him wear a tie on maybe a dozen occasions. When a local organization was doing a men‘s clothing drive, I asked if I could donate some of them. He let me take ONE. 3d
mcctrish @Susanita my husband used to wear a shirt and tie to school every day - a different tie every day - then he started teaching phys ed full time - we had all of those ties for a LONG time! He‘s down to 40? they are all in a mid sized tub - my 2 boys have enjoyed rummaging through for a tie when they need one 3d
willaful My husband basically has Fibber McGee's closet... and chest of drawers, and nightstand and desk... I don't even try to put away his clothes anymore. (edited) 3d
mcctrish @willaful ooo I haven‘t heard Fibber McGee for ages ❤️ (edited) 3d
AmyG Hahahaha, yes we have moved onward! 3d
lil1inblue 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 My dad is such a hoarder. I feel this in my bones. 3d
LiseWorks Oh this is way too comical. This literally made my day as my husband has his TV and vcr in our bedroom closet. 🤣 3d
Tamra @lil1inblue mine too! He even has an 8 track player with tapes, not to mention a VHS and Beta player. 3d
lil1inblue @Tamra I just discovered that he still has the first printer we ever bought. In 1998. 🙃 3d
mcctrish @LiseWorks oh my gosh 😆😆 3d
mcctrish @tamra I‘m thankful we don‘t have any 8 tracks 3d
mcctrish @lil1inblue they paid good money for all of this 🙄 3d
quietlycuriouskate Oh my, it looks like we're all feeling this! 😅 3d
Amiable @mcctrish @lil1inblue @Tamra @Susanita @LiseWorks @amyg @willaful @Cuilin @CBee @TheBookHippie My husband is the opposite—he gets rid of stuff while we‘re still using it! 10 years ago I found out he‘d taken my bike to the “free” spot at the dump —I asked him why and he said “because you haven‘t used it in a while.” That‘s because I‘d been recovering from foot surgery! I‘m still mad about it, even though I bought another bike. 🙄 2d
mcctrish Oh my god @Amiable 😆😆😆 2d
CBee @Amiable I‘m laughing but what the heck 😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 2d
AmyG Well, my husband decided to clean out his t-shirts last night. I was floored. Shirts from the ‘70‘s! 🤣🤣🤣 2d
Cuilin @Amiable oh my, I shouldn‘t laugh, I‘m just glad you weren‘t sitting on it at the time. 😆 2d
Cuilin @AmyG they‘re so vintage that they‘re probably back in fashion. 🤣 2d
AmyG @Cuilin My kids already took the ones in good shape. These were ripped, had holes….from high school and college. He just couldn‘t part with them. 2d
mcctrish @AmyG if you garden you can cut them up to make plant ties 2d
AmyG Ahhhhh. Good idea. I just threw them out. I don‘t ever want to see them again. 🤣 2d
Amiable @Cuilin Ha ha, truth!! My boys joke that they need to keep one hand on their plate so Dad doesn‘t throw it out while they‘re still eating. 😄 2d
lil1inblue @Amiable OMG. That's just as bad, imho! I'm reminded of a family story in which my grandmother instructed her younger sisters to dismantle (destroy) the family piano “because it was too big for the house.“ She defended her decision into her 80s. 😅 2d

We do not care that our credit card was stolen this week as we cancelled our card and caught the thieves before any merchandise was shipped. We do not care that our fridge started making an EXTREMELY LOUD HUM and we got a new one at Costco and had it promptly installed so we didn‘t lose any food. And we do not care about any other of life‘s annoyances as we‘re off to Seattle to visit our son.

#WDNCW @dabbe

AmyG We DO care that you have a wonderful time with your son! 3d
Lesliereadsalot Thanks! We always have a great time. Going to the White Sox-Seattle baseball game tonight! @AmyG 3d
mcctrish Have a great time in Seattle 🎉 3d

Lesliereadsalot @mcctrish Thanks! So happy to go there. 3d
kspenmoll Enjoy your visit with your son! 3d
dabbe You hit the important things right on the head: time with your son. Little or big annoyances go away; precious time with your son never does. Have a fabulous trip! 🩵💙🩵 3d
lil1inblue Ooh! Seattle AND a visit with your son? How wonderful. We would not care about the rest, either! 3d
Lesliereadsalot @kspenmoll @dabbe @lil1inblue Thanks, already here and having a ball! 🩷🩷🩷 2d

I‘ve wanted to read this ever since reading Into Thin Air years ago. It‘s an interesting story- Chris was not much older than I am, and I knew people who held a moral compass *somewhat* similar to his… but should never actually go to the lengths he did. It seems a small mistake might have been his undoing, but I really don‘t know how he would have lived if he had survived.

Suet624 My brother lived in the woods for years and I was always afraid he would experience the same outcome. 4d

We do not care that we have bags of bottles & cans stacked high so the cats think its a jungle gym because it‘s too hot to do the work of taking to recycling. We do do not care that the cats HATE air conditioning so refuse to leave the un air conditioned kitchen so we have bowls of water everywhere that I persist on kicking over even though I know they are there. 🔥🥵😻🐾

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Empire of Shadows” was a fun and witty adventure that felt reminiscent of “The Mummy” (insert the confident declaration of “I am a librarian” quote here because I got those vibes as well). I really enjoyed Ellie‘s and Adam‘s characters and their story, and I‘m looking forward to see what the next book holds!
