ELKO, NV--Experiencing a moment of incredible grace and patience, local husband Clarence McTwombly sat his wife down and gently showed her how it was actually possible to close the 8,537 unused browser tabs on her mobile phone.
"See honey, that 'X' in the upper right corner allows you to close that tab you are no longer using," said Clarence to his wife, Clarice, as she nodded along while not really listening because she saw a tab showing a swimsuit she had been looking at a few months ago, but was now probably ready to buy. "All you need to do is is tap that 'X' with your finger, and it's gone. Simple as an oil change."
Showing some confusion, Clarice asked what on earth the purpose would be in closing any of the browser tabs, especially since she may need to pull up the content of any of those tabs at any time, because, really, you just never know.
With boundless love and longsuffering, Clarence answered her question by scrolling to some of her earlier browser tabs--a task that took over 40 minutes--and showed her that the 17 tabs related to finding coupons on baby formula may not be important anymore as their youngest child was now in college.
At publishing time, Clarice, also filled with overwhelming charity and patience, led her husband to the closet to show him how to throw away his 141 old, disintegrated t-shirts.
Never, ever touch my disintegrating t-shirts!
Does she know how to flush the toilet?
He may have already taught her that.
I can relate. On the rare occasion I use my wife’s phone I’ll notice she has around 47 tabs open.
I do have a Led Zeppelin concert t-shirt from college, which was 35+ years ago. Needless to say, it doesn’t fit.
I'm not seeing the relevance...? If nothing else, these T-shirts can give their final full-measure of devotion as garage mechanic rags...
That’s not that far off from my personal experience. 😂
It shrunk?.......................
Do you remember in the older versions of windows where each instance of software had it’s own task tray icon?
I have to repeatedly instruct certain people (usually older women, sorry) that you have to close software when you are done using it, and you can see how many instances of that software are running by hovering over the task-tray icon (windows 8 and up). Some software only allow a certain number of purchased connections or seats, and the culprits whine that there are no open seats left to connect to. Well, I have to explain, “you are using most of them already. Close your open windows”.
Since I’m ranting, I believe Microsoft buries everything useful. I hate ribbons!
[oldtimervoice] Why back in my day, I remember when you could get to anything by 2 clicks and 2 menu fly-outs! [/oldtimer]
Did he show her how to shut the computer off too?
Hopefully Clarice can operate a garbage disposal.
Unlike some in Congress.

Most of my old t-shirts don’t fit either. I’ll bet it’s due to the global warming that Al Gore was talking about. What other reason could there be?
You could probably get some decent bucks for that on eBay.
Got a rolling stones 1989 steel wheels tour T in VGC.
Also my 1981 Tom Petty Hard Promises tour T is my prized possession as far as RR t-shirts go.....that one is definitely a disintegrating T shirt.
I’ve noticed that about old trousers, too. The inseams stay the same but the waistbands shrink. Dang it, there’s a law of physics involved here.
I have my blue Jean jacket from college in ‘66. And I wear it.
Lol, just loved the title!!!!
I've found that buying used bath/hand towels at garage sales work better.
I didn’t know that was a lady thing. I currently have about 50 tabs open between two laptops. Maybe I need to rethink my current gender assignment.
