Maybe a swiffer, perhaps? All our appliances are fairly new.  Vacuum makes no sense without carpet in the house.  After 17 years with this chick,(6 or 7 or who knows unmarried) I assume I’m in the clear and in the “old people” stage where she only expects my criticism and subtle hints of cleaning the bathroom.  But that just doesn’t seem right.  So, on lockdown, what do you prince charmins suggest?  Toilet paper?   Help a brother out.

To be clear, 11 years married and 16 or 17 years total together.   Like who really keeps tracks of this crap?

16 plus years together and you think a Swiffer spells romance???  You're flailing around like a rookie here.  You need to personalize whatever you do if you're hoping it leads to the horizontal bop.  Make the day all about her.
. 
1)  Dinner -make, or get takeout of whatever her favorite is.
2)  A gift- NOT something that you spent 5 minutes picking out on Amazon.  Jewelry is always good.  Pay attention, this is important, it doesn't have to be expensive, far more important, it has to show EFFORT!
3)  The movie - a chick flick.  Romantic comedy good....Die Hard, not so much.
