My wife stopped doing her duties!?
 
This is a first in the 91 years Jesus has granted me so far. I yelled at my wife, I screamed at my wife, I hit her with my favorite Bible, but nothing! Even reading Genesis 3:16 and Ephesians 5:22-24 from my Bible had no effect whatsoever. All she does is stare without blinking her eyes.

Is there anyone with similar experience who has any advice on how to deal with this? I am hungry and no one is cooking diner.

Sounds like she's just being stubborn. You'll just have to be stubborner.

Staring without blinking it's usually a sign of watching too much Netflix. It's also an explanation for the laziness.Could that be it, Brother?

Whenever any of my offspring get lazy, I scream the following verses at them: Proverbs 13:4, Colossians 3:23, 1 Timothy 5:8, and 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

That won't be a problem.

I have no idea. What does a Netflix look like?

Excellent suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help.

My wife still refuses to do her duties. As a temporary solution I was forced to ask my daughters for help but all of them hanged up as soon as they heard it was me.

I blame Hillary Clinton. She has changed all women who used to obey Genesis 3:16 and Ephesians 5:22-24 into disobedient Hell bound sluts.

Life is hard for a white male American True Cristian™ in 2019. But I am sure Jesus has a purpose for my suffering.

Does anyone here know how to boil an egg?

On your behalf I did I ask the help. She was incredulous that I wanted to know about this task, until I explained the circumstances. Her eyes bulged and she started to sweat. She said "I'm afread Mrs Cranky has been made a a zombie by the voodoo". "Nonsense" I said, "She's most likely dead. Keep your native superstitions to yourself. Just tell me how to boil an egg".


After crossing herself several times, and mumbling some jungle incantation she told me that you boil some water on the stove and put the egg in, turn the heat down and cook for about 90 seconds, then remove it, let it cool down, crack the shell. The help likes it to be a little bit runny in the middle so she can feed me with egg dipped toast soldiers coated with melted butter and a sprinkling of ground peppercorns.


Cranky, if you prefer a harder egg, just leave it another minute or so.

If the room starts to smell soon, my guess it won't be the egg.

That sounds way too complicated. Clearly God invented woman for this kind of work. I'll simply put the egg in the microwave.

I haven't had a sense of smell since 1977. I decided to ignore my wife until she decides to start working again.

From what I'm hearing lately, it's like a box of birds. But I'm not too familiar with this millennial things.

Asked my Pa. if your wife’s skin turned cold, it’s a sign she is possessed by the devil. If this is true sir, have you considered calling Landover’s police force and see if they can issue an emergency spiritual enema on your wife to see if it cleanses the “bitchiness” (as my Pa puts it) out of her?

At the Lukes home, the kids wanted it. I did some research. Long story short, the answer was an unequivocal "NO!" However, I did come across a Godly alternative: PureFlix. Instead of pre-screening every film to make sure it's acceptable, like you'd have to do with Netflix, you can just let the kids watch whatever "quality Christ-centered movies" they want because they've all been preapproved for the public's viewing pleasure by Christians who know better.

Re: My wife stopped doing her duties!?
 
That reminded me. Some time back, a neighbor of mine told me his wife was not well, and he was needing all the time he could to spend time with her family, yadayadayada. Lately, I asked him how she was and he did not reply. I spoke (a little too close to his earshot), "She must be dead." I have not heard from him since.

What does this have to do with Madam Cranky? Oh, nothing at all! Excuse me. Carry on.

I hate birds so we don't have those.

That is a great idea. I suggested this and they promised me I will be called back on the matter.

I didn't know that. It will be the only thing the grandchildren are allowed to watch from now on.

My microwave broke down. Does anyone have a spare? My wife still refuses to cook and apparently you can not use a microwave to boil eggs.

I wouldn't want to meddle in your private business, Brother Cranky, but have you tried prayer? It should be equally effective regarding getting you a new microwave and producing boiled eggs!

Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].

Re: My wife stopped doing her duties!?
 
It's been a day, how is she looking now Cranky? (As far as your eyesight can gauge) ;) If her lips are starting curl over her teeth, it means she's jeering at you and pulling your leg with this limp act of hers. Best administer a beating! :D

Re: My wife stopped doing her duties!?
 
Brother Cranky, I have ordered you a new microwave. Just remember you don't turn it on to warm up for 10 minutes. You just put the food in and press the button. Also, don't use metal pots - I'm not sure of the reason but it's probably demons.

As for the work-shy wife... have you tried physical correction?

Re: My wife stopped doing her duties!?
 
I have been unable to sleep (don’t tell my Pa please) because I have been anxious to hear about the latest update on your wife. What would cause a faithful housewife to go completely still and silent for a few days now? Not even a shriek when having The Bible thrown at her is worrisome. What has Landover’s faith police force said about the situation Old Cranky Man?

The zombie was mentioned and this can be a great way to consume eggs. Simply combine 2 measures each of white rum, dark rum & golden run, 1 measure each of green rum (if available) and crème de menthe, 1 egg (whisked) and topped up with ½/½ pineapple juice/soda water.

If green rum is not readily available, 1 shot each of Benetictine & Cointreau is a good substitute. Served in a frosted glass, ice-cream float garnished with mint leaves optional.

Perhaps Cranky would prefer instead a Simple Man's Zombie: A can of beer with a blade of grass on top. Maybe even hold the grass.

That sounds delicious, Sister, though it's important to ensure that the egg is freshly-laid from healthy, salmonella-free chooks. Otherwise it might make Brother Cranky unwell. I shall try it out on my husband's business associates next time they're here: they are very partial to mint tea and fruit juice.
