Oh, you’re getting a laptop, Henny. Although, I’m not sure to whom the win should be awarded. But that’s typical of virtually any marital dispute.

The only way I don’t get one now is if I’ve poked the bear too much and she doesn’t get it for me out of spite 🤣

Hey, thanks so much for the mention, Henny! I didn't get a notification about it, so it was a very pleasant surprise just now.

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

You’re welcome! Sorry you didn’t get a notification, not sure how that happened. Glad you found it anyway 👍🏼

The first footnote was perfection.

I hope you enjoy your new laptop as much as she knows you will. It’s only a matter of time. But I do find it cute you think you’ve won. We play this game in our house as well. He never wins. It’s most fun however when he thinks he has.

Ha!!

Wives play chess.

Husbands play pick up sticks 🤣

Perkins' book has been on my to read list for like two decades. And USAID is one of the ways our government accomplishes what it used Perkins to accomplish.

You should definitely read it, it’s crazy. The version I recommended is his updated version so it’s a little newer.

Moorea Maguire's avatar

Cool, I wonder what's in the new version. I've seen interviews with him and his story is so important.

Sounds like it all worked out in the end!

We’ll see if I do indeed get that laptop…I may have jinxed it by publishing this too soon!

Keep us posted!

William Weaver's avatar

So what kind of laptop did you get? lol

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

Ha! I actually debated publishing this one until she got me the laptop. Knowing her she may now not do it just to spite me 🤣🤣

William Weaver's avatar

I couldn't share a laptop with anyone.

But my wife and I both do web dev in our home business so we have half a dozen floating around at all times.

It's a Best Buy™ up in this house! LOL

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

You guys must be the ones keeping them in business then 😉

Love the banter here, Henny!!! Seems pretty spot on.

According to hubby we had a perfectly fine set of suitcases. According to me they were 30 years old and falling apart. When our RE broker went thru the house to tell us what we should get rid of she too almost vomited at the sight of the old suitcases. They’re gone.

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

Ha! I can assure you ours were not that old 😉
