I am sorry if this has been asked before but does your wife do chores? I remember you saying she drives the kids places.
Well, this weekend she hasn't, but she's been working on her business so that's understandable. During the week she did go grocery shopping and I think she did dishes a couple of times. Unfortunately, I'm helping her with business stuff today which isn't much fun. When I misunderstand what she wants, she gets pretty angry so I just try to not make assumptions and not talk much.
I have a customer called Dean Longbottom. I want to ask how Neville is, but he's probably sick of it.

Gud, I know I've said this before, but I have to say it again: that is not how a partnership works. Your wife should not get angry when you misunderstand what she wants. In relationships with different communication and thinking styles (like, hello, my own), both partners have to work at making the communication work.
You deserve to not constantly worry that your wife is going to be angry with you.
Facebook etiquette question: a family friend (friend's parent/parents' friend) just puts birthday messages on her own wall. Do I tell her that's not the best way???
I'd wait until she says something about "how come no one says thank you for birthday greetings on Facebook?" and respond with the explanation that many people may not see them because she posts them on her own wall, and instructions on how to post on someone else's.
What Jilli said. Also, I am a single person starting her own business while still working a part time job, and I still find time to do dishes, cook, make the bed, do laundry, etc. This is not an equal partnership. At all.
Gud, what would you think if a friend of yours was living the life you are?
F*ck southwest. Right in the ear.

Oh hippocampus I am furious on your behalf. What happened to just being a considerate human? I live with giants and the guys routinely notice when someone can't reach something in a grocery store and ask if they can help. Being considerate and helpful to others is normal behavior, or at least I always thought so. And when it is your actual job to serve customers and be helpful, it should be required.
Grrrr, this is just wrong in so many ways!
Gud, what would you think if a friend of yours was living the life you are?
Exactly. Look at it from the outside like you were reading the book of your life, or watching it in a movie.
Timelies all!
Did much walking today. Went to Byward Market, Imagination Village and Parliament Hill. Did the tour of the Library of Parliament. Drooled over the architecture and the books.
