She is jealous of our boiler "Cindy".

She claims I spend too much time on this website and that EFM must stand for "Every Freaken Minute"! :o

I think she just doesn't look at life the same as I do. It's what you like in life that matters.

Reminds me of a quote I read on a live-aboard sailers blog.

He said "he had spent most of his life's money on booze, women and boats, the rest he wasted"! :)

My wife took a different approach. Last year for Xmas she put a vintage tin sign from Lehigh Coal & Navigation on the coal bin, it reads " Keep this bin full".

My wife takes no approach , as long as she is warm and has plenty of hot water for showers she's happy , and that makes me happy .

My memory is poor...I just went downstairs and realized that is not at all what the sign says. :oops:

Wife is not only happy that she's warmer with plenty of dhw but the fact I spend more time in shop.
