Well that's inconvenient
8We moved into our house roughly 9 or 10 years ago. Shortly afterwards I installed a ceiling fan in the “play room”. The problem is that I tied it to the switch in the kitchen so the kitchen light has to be on for the play room ceiling fan to work. We do have a remote control for that fan as it doesn’t have a switch of it’s own.
As part of our floor remodel we are doing some electrical work. This has now been fixed.
I went in to turn out the lights. Turned off the kitchen light and the play room light remained on. Didn’t know where the stupid remote control was, so sent the wife to turn off that light.

“the wife” How romantic!
Nothing personal, it’s just a pet peeve of mine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@therealjrn
I usually refer to “the wife” as What’s her face.
@jst1ofknd Ok, that is better, I must admit.
@therealjrn
Coming up on January the 4th will be our 22nd anniversary… You want me to remember her name after this long? (Smile)
@therealjrn about “the wife”. A long time ago my beloved had a job in an industry that worked on things that most people don’t know about. Indeed, she couldn’t even tell me what she worked on. About that time I started a FB account and she was adamant that I never mention her by name as she didn’t want a digital presence and she didn’t trust online security measures. I asked he how did she want me to refer to her, then. Her solution was to be The Wife. And our minor children are to be The Boy and The Girl. I did change her listing in my phone from Wife to Love Of My Life this year for our 25th anniversary, though.
@JnKL @therealjrn
Nothing wrong with a bit of online obfuscation.
@JnKL A friend of mine used to refer to his wife (playfully, mostly) as “The Beast”. So she started referring to him as “The Burden”.
