• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I didn't think i said anything wrong to my wife.

Missus has lost her wallet, did the usual retrace of events etc. Figure it's in one of 3 snow banks at home.1000007426.jpg1000007428.jpg1000007427.jpg
 
We figure as she slid out of the truck her wallet must have come out of her pocket, that evening it snowed and into the day so when I returned from work I cleared the driveway. So it must be in one of the banks. She says " can you get it out for me" and I say hold on a sec, came back with a snow shovel and said start digging.;)
Well the air was Blue along with a feeble attempt of throwing the shovel at me.
I guess I hit a nerve and here I am trying to be funny.
 
You can't win. Shortly after we'd been married we had an argument probably over something trivial, she's only 5ft ish and threw a punch at me but I ducked and doubled up with laughter at which point she threw her wedding ring at me and stormed off. Soon settled down but I hid the ring for several days before telling her where it was. It's never happened since.
 
duke, it might hurt that she took it out on you - because she is so annoyed at herself for dropping it of course, but when you find it just think how happy and grateful she will be. (Hopefully)
As long as she didn’t leave it in a shop or lose it under the car seat!
Do you have a metal detector? Or you could use Dowsing rods, or a pendulum.

Had a metal detector, later today I'll carefully skim back the banks and spread the snow out on the driveway and hopefully I will find it. I will be using my front end loader.
 
Checked with the last shop that she used the bank card in and they don't have it. I even went back to town yesterday to check the snowbanks there and the banks are gone. Snow had ben trucked away a few days ago.
 
They truck it to vacant land owned by the municipality. So you end up with huge piles of snow there. Usually melts down by the end of May.
It is only removed in the towns when sidewalk access and vehicle visibility is an issue.
They will plough the roads and leave a large bank of snow at the end of your driveway which you are responsible for. In the rural areas where I am I also have to make sure the mailbox at the road is open to allow delivery.
 
Well, with great relief SHMBO's wallet has been found. She was getting dressed so I could take her to the dentist today for two teeth to be removed, under the neatly folded clothing was the wallet.
I am glad we didn't cancel cards and ask for new I.D.
And I spent two hours sifting through the snow banks!!!!.
 
I sure hope she showed some appreciation for all your effort! Anyway, glad to see no one was able to misuse those for ID theft. I know someone who got in a lot of trouble that way.
 
We were watching or tracking any possible card use ie, credit cards and bank cards and there was none.
This coming Monday we were to start the process.
Appreciative hmm, all she said was; "I knew we would find it.":)
She did thank me for looking in the snow banks.
 
You are a man, which automaticslly makes you wrong, even when you think you are right. Get over it! (source: my missus)

My missus's favourite saying is, "you think you are funny but you are not".:)
But we don't dare reciprocate the same attitude.

I brought a sign home a number of years ago that says -- I married Miss Right but I didn't know her first name was Always.
I thought she would be pissed off but she liked it.
There you go!!
