    Just went full asshole dad mode and told them I want it spotless….nobody’s happy right now 🙂

    If they do a good job, could you ask Izzy to pop over here and sort out my fishing room please.....

        And if she gets all lippy and says something to the effect, "But dad, have you seen the state of Giles's fishing room?", then feel free to say that Giles is NOT a good role model.....

          ...and we just had the "now doesn't this look better, and did you need me to yell for it to look better" talk. 🙂

          I'm sure I might have heard it once or twice when I was younger....

                    I'l continue with the rants:
                    Working my ass off in Texel. We had left instructions for the old hedge surrounding the property to be removed, and a new fence to be set up. Except that they left out one of the rear corners, for no real reason. Except for being lazy maybe, because it is difficult to get to. It's astonishing to see the language barrier between Dutch and German returning when you start to complain.
                    I have now all of the old hedge removed, but now I have to buy the missing pieces for the fence. Proves to be difficult on an island, with shipping rates from the mainland being astronomically high.
                    Currently looking into renting a small truck on tuesday, and pick it up myself.

                    I think I could bring up a thousand language barrier discussions being married to a South American. Not complaining just saying.

                      We pay our kids to do the chores. That way they’re motivated to do the work without complaining and the money we give
                      them is what we would have given them anyway when they ask for shit like ice cream or toys or clothes or whatever. We make them pay for it all. 😏

                            I always thought that this language barrier thing towards your significant other was something that comes naturally, regardless of language.

                              Random rant: If you can't control your dogs don't have dogs! I got attacked by two pit bulls tonight and I thought my dog was going to die in the street, but I got on top of him and shielded him with my body and my trusty N1 Deck Vest (thanks Iron Heart)! No but legitimately used the vest to stop them from biting my dog. Rant over! Don't be a bad dog owner.

                                        @GardenState shit man. Really shitty. I couldn’t agree more about dogs not under control. Did the owners take any responsibility at all?

                                          @Mizmazzle the county took their dogs. They’re paying for my medical bills. So at least there is that. Haven’t decided if I’ll take any other action. Once I got inside I asked my wife if my pants were okay. 😂 I don’t remember doing that. Terrible night overall
