If your wife is like mine, then she likes pink clothing.
Here's a quick and easy tip.
Buy a bundle of new "red" shop rags, throw a couple into the wash with the rest of the clothing, "walla" everything in the washer comes out the most beautiful shade of pink you ever did see.
No no, no need to thank me.
Trust me...she'll love you for it.

Hi Keith,

Sounds great.

If one's wife likes blue, do you know where one can buy blue shop rags?

Fred K-OR · 04-20-2015, 10:14 AM

Just throw your bran new greasy jeans in the wash.

Y-Blockhead · 04-20-2015, 10:19 AM

My wife likes white. Do you think your tip will work if I throw my white shop towels in with her white 'unmentionables'??

Rusty Homestead Fl · 04-20-2015, 10:35 AM

The cheap ones from Harbor Freight work best. She'll love you even more.

And I'm not having any trouble typing, but it is kinda hard to see the keyboard.

If your wife can do that to a man I sure as hell ain't going to say anything to upset her. I don't want my pretty face messed up.

You never make them Happy, just Happier......

I remember a guy about 2 years ago that put his fresh painted intake and exhaust in her oven for a bake ,.,.

He still eats out .,

The silver lining is this, (at least when it comes to my wife) she will never have you do laundry again. If you do a horrible job at what she asks you to do, chances are she won't ask you to do it again. Example, when my wife and I where first married, she kept asking me to empty the dishwasher, which I HATED to do. I intentionally kept putting the dishes in the wrong place, until she got fed up and asked me not to unload the dishwasher because it took longer for her to find stuff then to unload it herself. After a few years chores were sorted out as to what I was "capable" of doing or not. I just "happen" to be terrible at dishes, folding clothes, etc...

And thus, the formula for a happy marriage.
Sly...but effective.

I've taken to using the white terry cloth rags I get at Costco or Sams. When they get too dirty to use, they get thrown away. A new bale of rags is a lot cheaper than having to eat out every night for a week.

H. L. Chauvin · 04-20-2015, 11:19 AM

Hi Keith,

After looking at the photo in reply #8, you could be bothered too often by others in public asking:

What happened?

Maybe try to order a shirt with wording printed front and back:

"Tried Harry Reid's Exercise Machine."

Appeared it worked for him ...... initially.

gweilbaker · 04-20-2015, 12:07 PM

You mean that machine isn't for cleaning parts? What she doesn't know won't hurt me!

BILL WILLIAMSON · 04-20-2015, 03:00 PM

Pat's been gone for 3 years & everybody WUNDERS why??? I have a whole drawer FULL uf ladies' DRAWERS??? At 79 years young, my pilot lite still burns, with a nice BLUE color!

I got her a 29 Model A Fordor. I can make all the pink laundry I want for a long time. I'm still golden.

I learned long ago that it was best if I never put ANYTHING that was red in the washing machine.
