Things you wish you could say

[RoyalChick]

This is not a "wish I could say", but ... my DH can't cook either. He's brilliant in many respects but his late mother was like that, an enabler. She about had a cow once when I casually asked him to help me load the dishwasher. I don't know if she thought it was "women's work," or that he was too precious to do it or if she thought he was stupid. She never taught him to cook ANYTHING. But I'm going to teach him. I'm diabetic and have osteoporosis and other health issues. He needs to learn how to take care of himself. I'm going to teach him to cook .... and do laundry, too. Like, immediately. He may not always have me.

My father was a stereotypical 50s and 60s husband: had a housewife, dinner on the table at 6, etc.

When he retired, she made him do everything for himself. He had to learn to cook so he could survive, he had to make his own doctor appointments, he had to pay the bills. Her reasoning was the same as yours, @BigBlueHen53 .

Same with my Dad. The only thing he could do was make coffee.
Then my Mom died and he picked himself up and learned to care for himself.
I did help of course but I lived a long way away so he really did have to fend for himself mainly.
I was very proud of him!

Listen. You've been asking the same question for days. And you keep getting the same answer, from not one but several of BYC's most expert chickeners. Why did you come here? When are you going to believe us? What will it take to convince you? Why are you wasting our time? Go away.

No. You're insecure. I get it. You won't be convinced until your bird either crows or lays an egg. So we'll just keep assuring you until your bird confirms what we've been telling you. It's all right. It's what we're here for. Sigh. I need chocolate.

Feel like this post is about me. I'm sorry.

It's not, cat. You're good!

Thank you.
I mean, I only have 4 posts about the same bird. Rookie numbers.

Apple, WHY did you put such a weak cooling solution on that MacBook? It's only one year newer than the other one and watching a basic 1080p video makes the thing hit 98C and max fan speed in around one minute. UGH.

Apple is the answer

I feel like I must own this exact computer

Mine is a 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro. I don't know which 2014 MacBook Pro you have but if it's a 13-inch one I'm going to guess it has the same trashy cooling solution designed for a processor from 2009.
