All a woman really needs is a vibrator and Mr. T.

To any parent who is sick of watching "Nemo", "Toy Story", and "Cars", there is a movie called "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" that is a nice change of pace. Mr. T plays a police officer and Bruce Campbell plays the mayor in that film.

Eat your school, stay in greens, drink your sleep, don't do milk, get your 8 hours of drugs and you can get work

If you think military wives need a Mr. T, you should see them when they get into their 80s and 90s and they're on their own in some retirement village. The need the whole friggin' alphabet. And they're not afraid to ask for it.

This is such bullshiat. I hate to see women who perpetuate the myth of their own reliance on men to handle every stupid thing around the house. You SERIOUSLY needed some guy to take care of your smoke detector for you?

Unless it is something that involves a LOT of upper body strength then you have no excuse for not figuring out how to do it yourself. Mr T sounds like a really swell guy, but he's not doing you any favors if he doesn't clue you in that you need to learn how to take care of your own house.

Sheesh, I feel sorry for that guy. What an incompetent woman. A few things that have broken when my husband was away was the toilet broken and I replaced all the internal hardware (we had an old rubber floater system that finally went out), the p-trap under the sink split so I replaced it, our neighbor hit one of our above ground faucets spraying a mountain of water everywhere so I fixed/replaced that, the furnace went out so I found the problem and fixed it (the control board busted, but it has happen before so we had the part on hand), the water line connecting to the dishwasher split (old house, old plumbing), and the fridge light went out so I replaced it (surprisingly many people don't know how to do this).

Get a good household repair manual, consult the Internet if something stumps you, or call a professional for big/dangerous jobs. Calling your neighbor in the middle of the night to replace the battery in a smoke detector because you are apparently to dumb to buy a tall enough ladder or to diagnose why your furnace won't shut off? This woman apparently can't be left home alone.

She's sleeping with Mr T and needs to make her cover story louder.

Military marriages, you see this kind of thing all the time.

But a power-of-attorney can't help in every situation. (Try telling the furnace repairman that you have a power-of-attorney, and see if he cares.)

Furnace repairmen in Maine will only work if the man-of-the-house signs something first?

This. Although she does have a small boy and lord those are dangerous, but still... No one will find out if you leash him to the couch for 20 min while you find the beeping smoke detector IMO.

RandomAxe: She's sleeping with Mr T and needs to make her cover story louder.

And that was my thought. :)

What an insufferable twat. I'm a Navy brat and my mom used deployment to do remodelling jobs...they fought too much over house stuff like that, so my brother and I helped as soon as he left. I learned how to refinish hardwood floors, mud sheetrock, etc by the time I was in high school from those projects. My dad would come home, we'd unveil the work and dad would be thrilled, since he didn't have to do it and my mom always did really great work.

Most of the Navy moms I knew were pretty tough, this biatch would be torn to shreds by the women I knew growing up.

Any military wife knows the base club is full of able-bodied young service members who would be happy to take on the household duties while their comrade is away.

They might even make a video of it.

Oh yeah, you can always tell when the 82nd's deployed. The NCO and Officers clubs are suddenly full of lonesome wives.

Yep. And those able young service members are the brand new guys coming in to the rear detachment while all the other guys are deployed. Now you have privates farking the Captains wife. I've seen where a platoon sergeant got back from deployment and gained a new private to the platoon that had screwed his wife AND daughter while he was gone. Fun times!
