.....your wife standing there looking at your workbench, hands on her hips, and she asks you - "are these my measuring spoons & if so, what is that in them?"......My answer - uhhhhhhhhhh, how did those get there? This really happened Friday night, & after a quick run to the closest store, she has a brand new set & a promise from me to never touch her measuring spoons again. No promises were asked for, or made, about other kitchen utensils. ;D Want to add one?

Busted!
Tsk Tsk!
If you needed it you should have hit the dollar store or something.
Replacing it was very wise :)
:D...
Been there a couple of times, the last time I got clever, she had a stainless steel colander that fit perfect in my 5 gallon bucket to soak my parts.
I took a chance and snapped one of the handle off, when she came home, I mentioned we couldn't use this anymore, maybe you should buy another... she agreed ;D

??? Measuring spoons , colanders wait and see what happens when she see her toothbrush in the shop... ::)

Same here Sal. I use one in my parts washer.
This has worked well for me. Need to screen the bucket out very year or so.

What did you use for the Sunday Macaroni Dinner??

just throw them into the dishwasher. they'll be fine! ;D
Wouldn't dare...I respect my wife's stuff and space to much.
(i.e. I'm a coward when faced with her justifiable anger)
FYI, stick to pipe cleaners or Q-Tips to ream out/swab passages. I have learned the hard way that no matter how effective an eyebrow brush is for the job, it is NOT acceptable...
Thanks everyone.....Mr. Alan, those were my exact words to my wife. I still had to go to the store for a new set. ;D
Dennis
Brewcrafter.......shhhhhhhhh !! Don't let the word get out that those brushes are perfect, after all, most of the grease I clean out of places is black, so what you don't know, won't hurt you......right? ;)

Hey Gman does that stuff smell like the old parts cleaners? Dominick
Yep, cab cleaner in a can. ;D
Maybe a tint of stale blue grease!

Fish Dad - I know that elsewhere in the forum was a post regarding using Chapstick for waxing/sealing reel spools. Now I don't know how closely related Chapstick is to lipstick, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms from my day job, that there are certain brands of lipstick out there that I would like to paint my house with (not necessarily because of the color!). I don't know what's in that stuff, but I swear there are times that it's easier just to throw the pint glass away! I have to think it truly would be a bulletproof "lifetime coating".
I ran across this old thread tonight and I just had to reply.
The picture was taken this afternoon - and I never even got in trouble ! You see, my wife fishes as much as I do and she completely understood the practicality in the situation. I Had the gear in saltaway for a few weeks and just ran them thru a quick rinse.
But her eyebrow pencil ? I highly doubt it !

I was making a coiled rod leash the other day so proceeded to boil the coiled mono in a pan on the stove so it keeps the coils, got in to a fair amount of trouble :)

Yes, metoo..... >:( >:( LOL but I still occasionally need something that I don't have in my workshop and she has in the kitchen.
Kitchens are no longer Wife domains, I am also expected to work there :o

Shoot, most of the nice stuff in the kitchen is mine! ;D
On another note I found that if you boil a bear skull to clean it, in the house and with a really good roasting pan (who knew they are different ones???), make sure your wife does not return from her outing early .................... I had some splaining to do.
