Apparently Aussies pronounce AC/DC not by saying the letters but comes out more like “Acka Dacka. There’s a useless fun fact for y’all.

Better late than never.
Just thought I’d say that. Whenever I complain about something, my dad has a way of making it the most insignificant thing ever and that I should be happy that I’m alive or what not. Would not only piss me the [BLEEP] off more than I was originally but also… put things in perspective, I guess? Idk. I just know it usually pisses me off Glad your back home safe dude.

I hate it when I'm hanging out with super models and a regular model shows up and just ruins it for everyone.
I have an old set of encyclopedias I want to get rid of and it turns out they are absolutely worthless. Nobody wants printed encyclopedias any more. I guess I have to recycle them. Such a shame.

I wanted to toss them, because like you, I discovered there’s nothing to do with them. My wife was apoplectic. She only thinks of the money spent on them and not their current value or uselessness. Her nostalgia keeps me from chucking the first TV we ever owned, a 27” Zenith with a wood enclosure. It weighs a ton and occupies valuable space in the back of a closet.

Same with mine. I hauled truckloads of stuff to the landfill a couple of years ago that was largely junk my kids left when they moved out, but a good percentage of it was my wife’s hoarder stuff. When she allowed me to haul away a couple of large plastic bags of clothes she claimed to be giving away for about 3 years running, I about had a heart attack. That only emboldened me to throw more things in that I knew she would never miss.

I’m the type of guy that keeps stuff because it can be used one way or another in the future. That, I blame on my father. Now when we’re talking leather bound encyclopedias….that is a nostalgic blast from the past plus the quality and workmanship of being leather bound. If you decide to dump them, I think I would offer to take that off your hands.
Have you thought about setting her out the night before trash day and see if anyone takes her? I tried that once. Trash day was the day after the Fourth of July. I say, “hey!” She says” hey what”? I say, “hey, let’s go out front and watch the fireworks!” She says “ok”. I say” great! Here’s you a chair! Have a seat. I set it by the curb. Enjoy the sights, now let me go in and find another chair”. I went back in and when I woke up in the morning she apparently found her way back inside. No takers. [shrug].

My wife asked if I wanted to watch another episode of “You”. Being honest, I said “no”. She asks why not. Like do I need a reason not to? 3-4 episodes in, I see where it’s going. No longer intrigued. So she doesn’t turn it on. Whoa, so now I’m needed in order for you to watch your show? Sorry I don’t want to watch it. I will watch it, but I’m not nearly excited as you. You do have the option of watching it without me. Good grief, I swear this woman is trying to set me up to wear matching clothes in public. Not happening!
The Amazon Prime broadcast of Thursday night NFL sucks. It looks like a bad antenna reception issue. I'd watch OTA but storms coming through are screwing up actual antenna reception.
Also, the Cardinals all black uni with the white helmet looks really unfortunate and you can't see the numbers on the jerseys very well.

Tell that you understand and appreciate her need for the emotional bonding she derives from watching it with you. Then explain how physical bonding gives you the same sense of fulfillment as a couple and suggest watching it in the bedroom. You don't even have to be the one facing the TV!
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
