[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 413788, member: 6370"] When we were first married, I was in awe of husband and his dad. husband had been valedictorian at his high school, a National Merit Scholar, and Freshman of the Year at university. His father was a chemist, head of quality control at a big pharma. They always discussed world events. I was in heaven living with brainy people. My life was complete. husband and my father in law, being extremely frugal men, decided to change the fuel line on our Fiat. Did you hear that? We bought a FIAT! Brilliant move #1: buying a FIAT! I trusted that these extremely intellectual brainiacs knew what they were doing, because, of course, they were intellectuals and I was just a woman. I went to the bathroom, when I was done I looked out the window and saw the engine burning. The brainiacs were just standing there, shaking their intellectual heads. No one was doing anything to keep the fire from spreading to the garage and then to the house. I ran to mother in law (just a woman) and she grabbed the fire extinguisher. By then, husband had tried to smother the flames with the expensive electric blanket which had been a gift to us because he was a poor medical student. I kept on thinking of Mae West saying "what a maroon!". [/QUOTE]
