Does this happen to anyone else? We have a lovely new (from last year when I wasn’t here) shower nozzle that has two settings. 1. A pin-point stream which feels like your skin is going to be shredded off your body. OR 2. A lovely gentle stream which gradually waked you from your slumber.
Doug almost always showers first. I don’t think you have to struggle too much to figure out which setting he prefers.
The only answer I believe is right is if he changes to setting #2 and leaves it there all the time. With my travelling back and forth from Saskatoon I never quite remember to anticipate the shock.
Poor Kristin!
Do you two fight about the toilet paper and toothpaste tube too?
I burst out loud when I read this!!! YES – we do! The toilet paper needs to be put on so the paper rolls off from the top rather drooping down from underneath. And Doug always complains that I squeeze the tube from the middle (I do.)
So I hope your question wasn’t facetious!
And we always complain about the other person changing the settings in the car … the seat … the rearview mirror … the side mirrors
It’s my car … and I think Doug should reset everything to my liking.

Join the crowd, Kristin. Liz squeezes the toothpaste in the centre as well. She also forgets to put her seat cushion and back rest over to the passenger side when she finishes driving our car.
However, we both life the same setting for showers. No problem there.
Wow, Mike and I don’t fight about any of this stuff…. We both squeeze the toothpaste tube from the top, neither of us care about the toilet paper, and we’re both around the same height so we don’t need to fight about settings for the car (for the most part…. it drives me nuts when he doesn’t shut off the wipers when he turns off the car), and we like the same shower setting too.
BUT use my good cookie sheets for anything other than cookies (we have cheap ones for things like frozen pizza), and sparks may fly. Let’s just say that when garlic bread in a plastic bag met one of my cookie sheets, a shopping trip was forthcoming…
Kristin tries to reduce things to simplistic terms but at her advancing age she forgets how we got to the current showerhead. I believe that just after Rhett was born (1982) we bought a water saving showerhead made by a small BC company [and I should note long before being “green” was fashionable). It was a perfect showerhead, Kristin and I (and our kids eventually) loved it. Maybe 5 years ago it got plugged and I couldn’t unplug it with even the most toxic concoction. We tried a variety of cheap and expensive showerheads – the current one gives several settings and the one I use is the closest I have been able to find that matches our old one – it hardly is of the skin peeling variety, I have used several of those types in various hotels. Kristin’s preferred setting is downright wimpy.
I don’t every remember challenging Kristin which way to install the toilet paper roll, I know which way she prefers and install them that way.
The toothpaste tube looks like it has been assaulted after Kristin is done with it and her method of squeezing is hardly amenable to extracting the maximum amount of toothpaste from the tube. I should note that our daughter is following in her mother’s footsteps on this one.
A molested toothpaste tube?? Wait until my mom hears about this!
This blog had a much more accurate depiction of reality before Doug’s comments.
Trust me:wink:
Jennifer – How come my “wink” smiley face icon didn’t work??
I think your issues with winking are a sign that perhaps the wink was not meant to be….
What can I say? I am my mother’s child.
