CSue, my mouth dropped open with shock when I saw it and he said "don't worry, dear, it'll be ok!"

I am just in shock that he went rifling through my pots and pans for oil changing paraphenelia! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

This calls for extreme measures. Where's his razor?

Reminds me of what happened at my house last weekend.

H was doing something with the alternator on his beloved Triumph (which I refer to as his 1st child!).

He comes into the kitchen with dirty greasy hands...(mind you he had to walk past the garage sink) and looked as though he wanted to wash his hands in the kitchen sink!

Yech, I said..."what about washing your hands in the garage sink, since I just cleaned the kitchen sink"?

"Oh, Ok.... he said". Whew!! I feel like I pulled one off without offending him!!!

Melody! I got it right away when I saw your T-fal pic!

So all of you ladies, what you're showing me is - I'M NOT NUTS! I KNEW it!!! Men are -- MEN!

Phil would weed the poison ivy from our yard -big deposit. Then he'd clean up in the kitchen, wipe PI juice on the dish-towels and leave them (to be used by me later) - huge withdrawal!

To this day he still doesn't understand why that was troubling to me... MEN! :-)

Mel, you ought to see if you can market the pic (w/concept) to a greeting card company. It's that good!

*GASP*

Does the man not have his very own Oil Changing Pan? Good heavens!! Or, like mine, could he not find his in the lair he calls his garage and so he rummaged in YOUR domain?

The desecration!!!

See, at this point, I would usually turn over the ruined pan to him to use as his own, but wouldn't that be rewarding bad behavior???

We must think of an appropriate punishment, lol.

Why waste money on an oil changing pan when there are so many in the kitchen??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> He has a treasure trove of potential tools in my kitchen, he seems to think! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

ok, I have not said anything to him, but here is what puzzles me. I cannot for the life of me understand why he insists on changing the oil HIMSELF when it can be done quickly and easily at oil change places! For $20 something bucks! I don't get it....
