LOL My daughter one day said I like those little library's that you see in front of people's houses for kids. Off to the garage I went, built from scrap wood. I bought

Whenever you fix something that the wife uses, never overlook the opportunity to offhandedly mention how you used that (real or imagined) whatsit "that I've had lying around for ages" and how happy you are to finally be rid of it.

Either they can all hear your creaky bed or you're a hoarder. Maybe both?

It went viral from a dad joke lite DIY tiktok channel: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.mcfarlands/ . Pitch perfect, and they nailed the music.

My problem is I know I have the exact item that I need, I just cannot ever remember where it is at, so end up having to go out and buy it anyway.

I've long contended that the major advantage of computers for the layman is not their speed of computation but their speed of search.

When you're storing items that won't be accessed frequently or are, because of size, stored in unusual places, make an entry in your computer file (mine is labeled WOIST, German for "where is it"). Besides the name of the object and its location, include words you're likely to think of in association with the object.

Now, when you need to retrieve it, search on its name or, having forgotten that, search on one of the associated words.

It all sounds a bit OCD, but, believe me, it's infinitely better than sifting through dusty stacks and boxes.
