"I think women are particularly suited to this...we are the ones who will go to the store and comb thru racks to find a bargain.. men just want to go in and get what they want, buy it and leave, lol! "

Yes! Sadly, I have to agree. Over and over I keep telling my self "too impatient you are, grasshopper." And then the next day the same thing.

You have an elegant system.

Though the girls do have a few things they mess up on now and then, imo. I got a call late today from a phone I didn't recognize at work. It was my wife stranded at the local dump where she had gone to drop off recycled glass. She had locked her keys (and her phone) in her truck along with two dogs and a bag of freshly purchased chicken. It was near closing time at the dump. I had to drive like heck to get home (45 minutes), get the spare key, back to the dump (20 minutes), and deliver the key. AMazingly I dodged all the cops. There she was sitting on a pile of old refuse containers by the glass recycle bin, now and then getting up to look at the dogs through the window and warn them to stay out of the chicken. The dump guys kindly waited awhile after closing for me to get there.

After all had calmed down and we were back home, I again brought up the usual discussion...is recycling glass really worth it? You know they just go dump it anyway. She waited quite awhile this time before assuring me that it was.

(disclosure: I have locked my keys in to a time or two but my truck has a sliding rear window which I leave unlocked and can slide through..barely.)
