What Have You Pilfered From The Wife For Your Projects?

[Rubone]

My wife is a tomboy, so no girlie girl crap around here. I've never seen nail polish or lipstick in 35 years...this is an old picture, a bit grayer now, but no hair dyes or any fake enhancements allowed around here.
But she's pretty cute...

Nope! But, she "pilfers" my wallet plenty.

It's the other way around in our home. My wife is "crafty" in that she likes to make stuff. She spends way too much time on Pinterest. I have to admit that she is very creative and comes up with some great ideas. If I could just teach her to return my tools to where she found them.

Pam cooking spray. I always snag whatever is left in the can when I run out in the reloading department. I promptly replace her can with a full can and have yet to catch any grief, even when she knows I’m snagging her can. The worst I have ever got was a “we do have a new can… right?”

My wife is into paper crafting so when I am making black powder paper cartridges I use her paper cutter, tape runner (it works better than glue as it lays down a continuous strip of adhesive), as well as some of her better paper. No complaints as long as I bring stuff back and let her know when I am using them.

Measuring cups, measuring spoons, small funnels and worn out tee shirts.

Pantyhose is fantastic in the southeast to keep ticks, fleas, and chiggers off you.

Fleas always loved me, there thankfully don't seem to be any here, but I digress. When I was living in Cali AND had a dog, my legs would be covered in flea bites all summer. One year I got the bright idea to wear pantyhose 24/7. Ha, the little buggers bit right through the pantyhose. So much for that idea...

Yep, and in my experience, flea bites put mosquito bites to shame when it comes itch!

Years ago, I was given an old Tupperware bowl with a snap on lid from the kitchen. I bolted a little motor to it with an off set weight on the shaft. It was my brass tumbler for several years before I finally bought the real deal.

Qtips

Vegetable oil, dish soap, and rubbing alcohol for my homemade case lube.

I am well acquainted with fleas but have not had a bite in ages. I grew on a multipurpose farm. Along with raising cotton and milo we raised cows and hogs of which we butchered one each in the fall and the others were sold. Along with that we had large flock of laying hens (what is called free range now) and sold enough eggs to a grocery store to cover the cost of groceries and also raised a bunch of fryers. I got in or was forced to participate in the killing, plucking and cutting up of the fryers.Fleas love chickens as do lice. I never got a louse but did get plenty of fleas. We would regularly catch all the hens and dust them for lice and fleas and debug the henhouse with carbolenium. Boy, did that stuff smell bad and it only controlled the fleas for a short time. When I left the farm I swore I would never have a chicken close to me and have kept that promise and it was years before I would eat chicken again.

Does she have a sister?

Sorry, the bachelor in me had to ask . . . The husband in me apparently likes trouble

I'm a Bachelor, tell me more about the Sister! I expected some funny comments on this thread, just surprised it took so many post to get them started!

Sigh...
This is a firearms forum, this is a firearms forum, this is a FIREARMS forum. Anything else is off topic. Why is that so hard?
