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.
“Zeppelin concert t-shirt”
Zeppelins last concert was in 1980 so 42 years ago. Vintage shirt.
Hey, I’m not opening up any new t shirts while those old ones are still good.
I remember when the technicians arrived at my office door with a lot of boxes. I asked, what's this. They said it's your computer. I said I don't want one. They said corporate biggies say that everyone at your level must have a computer in their office.
That's the day it began.
I had to do that for my mom.
Took me 45 minutes to close them all. She couldn’t figure out why her iPad was running slowly.

They stopped touring in the United States in 1977.

I was at the 1969 concert at Filmore West.
Honeydrippers? The Firm?
I draw the line at throwing out my [disintegrated] t-shirts.
This is not satire- I live this at least once per week
Then take them to the garage.
Do not leave them on the floor of the closet.
If you want to keep them for sentimental reasons then fold them and put them in the cedar drawers.
Do not leave them on the floor of the closet.
That’s one I think the gals on average are better at...
My wife is the opposite.
Early on she was taught to “get out of that” before doing something else.
Now she has windows 11 but still closes everything out.
The Bee knows my 92 year old mom!
You laugh, but I showed my wife this very thing recently. 38 open tabs.
+1
What’s the size and are you selling it? Mine got wore out.
I do love the Bee
You don’t throw that away regardless.
Put some cardboard behind it and slap it in a frame.
About a hundred or so open at any given time on the spouse PC.
I close things when done. At least 95 percent of the time.
