Which POE?

Like I said, it's different for women.

Si, man. Men typically have 6 things in their bathrooms: a toothbrush, and toothpaste; a razor, and shaving-cream; a bar of Dial soap; and a towel from a Holiday Inn. Women, conversely, have a minimum of 439 things in their bathrooms -- very few of which a man would be able to identify, no man.

When I talked to my acquaitance at USCIS he says that AOS interviewers that ask "What color is your wife's toothbrush" are idiots. He says "I don't what color my wife's toothbrush is or what all that other ####### is in the bathroom either!" His wife was a K-1 from Russia.

Real Men don't eat quiche or identify what's in their wives' bathrooms, no man.

I may have posted this before. A couple of trips ago, Mrs. T-B. went to Ecuador ahead of me (I was to follow her in a couple of weeks). She called me one day, using her little-girl voice (which, in person, is always accompanied by big brown puppy-dog eyes), and said, "Sometimes, husbands go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy their wives... a ponytail." [in hurt voice] "Mine got damaged." The only possible or acceptable reply was, of course, "Si, Cariño" (yes, Sweetheart), si man (sigh man).

Rolling my eyes and internally dying a thousand deaths, I stopped at a Sally Beauty Supply, hesitantly entered, and stood there in great uncertainty amidst the alien environment and strange products. A clerkette asked, "May I help you, Sir?" I said, "Uh, can you please direct me to the, uh, Ponytail Department, huh man?" She pointed me to a pegboard on the side wall. Having been carefully indoctrinated in regard to the correct size, color, texture, brand, length, and model number of the subject ponytail, I procured and purchased it. I left the store in palpable relief at escaping the alien venue, and distinctly thought "It must be really tough to be a chick, si man." I got a curious look from the TSA goon as the ponytail was inspected in its proud perch atop the carry-on bag, si man.

We're a one bathroom couple....so the bathroom organization I strive for continues to be overwhelmed by my wife's stuff. When my son comes to visit, I always forget about the bras & panties hanging in the bathroom. He gets quite a show sometimes. Oh well, I think he understands by now that Russian women are...well...Russian women!

The 5-yard penalty for "encroachment" doesn't apply to bathrooms, no man...

[visaveteran1 33]

Boy do I wish that was the case. We have several thousand dollars worth of cosmetics in our house right now.

After five years of being here, she is starting to accept the occasional $5 lip sticks instead of her usual $50 stuff.

My wife owned a large Beauty Spa in Russia...so you can imagine what I have to deal with around cosmetics and other "beauty" items.

I have donned sackcloth & ashes in sympathy, sigh man. Actually, this attire is little different from what Mrs. T-B. considers to be my normal stylistic wont, si man.

Alla likes Sally Beauty Supply for her hair coloring, which she calls "hair paint" (did I just say that out loud?) I have joked with her about the ponytails and also wigs. But, as you can see, she has really abbreviated heair most of the time.

Alla hangs her bras and panties around our bedroom to dry, they are some of the few things she still washes by hand in the tub. So one day she tells me to take her pile of washed but wet panties and hang them in our room. Big mistake.

I hung them from the ceiling fan which is now above our bed (that she bought on clearance at Lowes for $7 even though she hates fans ) and turned it on low speed! Excellent panty dryer, just be careful to balance them and not put all the thongs on one side and regualr panties on the other side. (technical engineering advice)

What did she think????

You're a brave man ... Sally Beauty and similar are undeniably 'another world'.

I was on a mission of mercy -- ponytail procurement -- for She Who Must Be Obeyed, she man... er, si man. However, I did surreptitiously perform a quick physical self-examination afterwards to see whether the male equipment was still intact, whew man. Fortunately and obviously, it was, see man.

Brillliant, si man -- not only from an engineering standpoint, but also as insurance for never being assigned that job again, no man -- which, after all, should be the goal while performing any "honey-do" task, see man.

An alternative would have been to put them in the dryer on "vulcanize" and burn them to a shrunken crisp, then merrily present them to her as "a job quickly and efficiently well-done (pun intended) through insightful application of American ingenuity and technology," whee man.

If I did that she might start wearing the kind that CAN be thrown in the washer and dryer! OH NO's!

I think our interviewer knew better than to ask things like that once I messed up our anniversary date. I guess she figured if I didn't know the date we got married, there's no way I'd know things like toothbrush color or what all that other ####### is.

I'm lucky since I get to avoid the buffarillas working at Sally in favor of the cute little Korean chicks at the hood shop. We've made a trip or two to Sally but the cuteys close to home are so much nicer. (On the eyes, that is!)

We have college boys beside us that I'm sure LOVE their neighbor. Especially when she brings her friends over and they sit around in the back yard with little clothing on getting tipsy.

Oh to be young again...
