Don't tell the wife, I'm growing fodder in the 2nd bathroom!

Or the one I use all the time. "Don't you remember? We talked about this months ago. You had doubts but reluctantly agreed to let me give it a try."

Very nice, I add it to my list as....

7) No, it's not a fodder tower, it's a low cost, non electric humidifier because we know how dry it gets in the house in the winter. Instead of changing out humidifier filters, I just exchange the bins to keep everything fresh for you, but I don't mind because your comfort is very important to me.

You are a shocker! Nice but very very naughty.

If you're unhappy with how much space you get to work in, and you're hiding something from her because you think or know it's going to make her unhappy, I'm not so sure things are working out well for you. Two reasonable adults should be able to come to a solution that would leave both parties satisfied.
Think of it this way: is she going to be more upset if you politely ask her if you can grow chicken feed in the bathroom, or when she finds out that you've hidden something from her because you think she's going to be unreasonable about it? Would you like to have her hiding things from you instead of asking you about them?

Like most wives she is probably already perfectly aware of what you are up to. Just waiting it out until the time is right. Beware!!!

5.) But Dear ... Have you SEEN the price of fresh greens? We're saving so much money!

6.) Okay, Dear. Mealworm farms take up much less space, anyway ...

No 6. Very very naughty.

At the risk of quoting myself...


...I just remembered that years ago I tried making a worm bin in the second bathroom. I was new at it and really didn't know what I was doing. Anyway, I got the feeding and/or bedding wrong. The worms climbed up the sides and out on the floor of the bathroom in an effort to escape the bin. Unfortunately, Dear Wife was the first one to discover the Great Escape and was not happy with me at all.
Let's just say that experiment went into the book as "not yet successful."

She's a saint that woman for staying with you after that. Take her out for a nice meal anyway.

Very nice. I won't argue with something that works for someone else, so it's....

I see where you are going with that. I don't think it work for us in those exact words because we like having guests, but I think I could make it work as....

17) I put it in the guest bathroom so if we get visitors this winter they will feel all the more welcome and important to us that I had to move my experiment so they take a shower.

Are you suggesting I stand up to my wife????

Like, be quiet and make me a sandwich and get me a cold beer while you're at it. And be quick about it because I've had about enough waiting around here. ???

I know what would happen if I did that:

There, I said with emojis. Hope the message is clear. Thank you for the suggestion, but I'll have to pass on that idea.
