W.H.I.D.

Does your Husband suffer from W.H.I.D. ??
If so, he is not alone. No longer does he have to endure the pain of Women with Hairbrained Ideas Disorder (otherwise known as W.H.I.D.) 

He no longer has to wear the “I drink because my Wife has Ideas”  t-shirt. Throw it away. Because now there is another little blue pill ( and NO, not the famous blue pill you are thinking of!) that can help.

Simply dissolve it in your hubbie’s favorite beverage while you seat him in his recliner and fetch his slippers after work. Wait 12 minutes for full effect and then approach your husband with your Hairbrained Idea.

For example…..

Me : Hi Honey! Did you have a good day at  work?

Him: grumble

Me: That’s ok honey, you sit down right here while I get you a drink and your slippers.  (Serve favorite beverage with dissolved little blue pill now. Works best when chilled.)

Him: grumble

12 minutes passes. It sometimes helps to set the oven timer to remind exactly when the best approach time is.

A test question is usually the way to start to make sure the pill has taken effect. Start with something small before you introduce the Hairbrained Idea.

Me: Honey, do you mind if I go shopping today?

Him: That’s great, I’d love that, do you want me to go with?

Test Successful. Proceed to Hairbrained Idea Submission.

Me: That would be terrific honey! But before we go shopping, do you mind if I pick up something very heavy and awkward for free on the side of the road?

Him: That’s great, I’d love to!

Me: And what if it took 4 full grown men to lift it into the back of the pick up, and then what if I wanted to haul it all the way through the house, up our newly carpet stairs, past our freshly sheet rocked, textured and painted walls, where eventually it would reside in a room where the doorway only gives us a leeway of 3 inches to get it thru and the whole time we were moving it, it was leaking rusty oily water all over everything?

Him : That’s great, I’d love to!

Me: And what if I told you it was going to cost $100 for said four men to get it up the stairs?

Him : That’s great, I’d love it!

Me : And what if I told you this item of which I have been speaking is a broken down refrigerator from the 1950′s?

Him: That’s great, I’d love it…… small grumble…..

If grumble ensues, this may be the time to check the dosage. Another pill may need to be administered.

Me : And what if I told you this broken down refridgerator from the 1950′s that is free on the side of the road and will leak everywhere, take four full grown men to move and cost a $100 was ………..

PINK???

Him:………………..pause……………..That’s great, I’d love it!!

And there you have it ladies, an end to your husband’s pain and suffering from W.H.I.D.!!

If you would like more information on this miracle little blue pill, please leave a comment below.

(this has been a true story brought to you and sponsored by The Fancy Farmgirl. This is an actual story, please see photos below. However, I TRULY wish there had been a miracle blue pill involved rather than ME suffering thru my husband’s terrible outbreak of W.H.I.D.)

So with no further ado, please enjoy viewing the best free side of the road find EVER!  This beauty now resides in my office, and is going to be used to store all my office supplies and files.

 

P.S. NO HUSBANDS WERE ACTUALLY HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS BLOG POST, THE BLUE PILL IS FICTIONAL AND ALL OTHER CONTENT IS ACTUAL:)

I love the fridge! Years ago my husband and I were driving the back roads and on our way home decided to stop at the dumpsters provided in rural areas in our “neck of the woods”. There sitting along side the dumpster was this little beauty of a fridge, probably 1945 vintage. There was a large piece of cardboard carefully covering the top of it. I walked over and opened the door and there was a note, written by someone whose hand was old and shakey. The note (committed to memory now) said, “If you decide to keep this little fridge, let it stand upright for 24 hours before you plug it in. It runs beautifully.”
We hauled it home and used it for almost 15 more years. It finally quit working and it was like tearing my heart out to let go of that little beauty.
This was a jem of a find! Enjoy it!!

coley - January 21, 2011 - 6:52 pm

shut up! that pink beauty was on the side of the road for $100??!?! that is ah.some. i love it. and i love dear husbands who love w.h.i.d. :)

Kim@Starry Sky Ranch - January 20, 2011 - 3:08 am

THAT was worth whatever it takes. Its PINK! Omigosh it’s wonderful. I hope you are loving it.

lulu/linda morrison - January 19, 2011 - 11:49 am

~~So Good~~

sheryl Donohue - January 15, 2011 - 4:21 pm

you have got to market that idea! the t-shirts with W.H.I.D. on them, I’m not kidding! My hubby and I laughed so hard while reading your story. we have been there and done that and we are still happily married after 34 yrs. of me suffering from W.H.I.D. and boy do we have a doozy of a story or two just like that! and yes I lkie to put my order in for those little blue pills please!

michelle - January 15, 2011 - 8:46 am

I love this story. Does he have a brother???? I always do this by myself or enlist a gilrfriend, brother or my dad.The fridge is great and SO worth the journey. Fun idea!
Congratulations on the weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hard and so worth it. I’m down 45 pounds and get really cranky if I miss “MY JAZZERCISE”
Love the blog,
Michelle

Lori MacKenzie - January 13, 2011 - 7:35 pm

You scored, you lucky girl!!!! The blue pill idea is a hoot, if only we had one!!! Love the refrig/storage!

Cari Bruno - January 12, 2011 - 3:35 pm

o.k,
I NEED THAT BLUE PILL!!! LOL
And, that is DEFINITELY the best roadside, free find ever!!!!
Lucky.
Have a great week
Cari B.

Rose Brier Studio - January 12, 2011 - 12:42 am

Oh My Gosh, how could you NOT pick this up. Yes it’s heavy, but a pink refrigerator is so fabulous. Maybe if you let him know that you will be able to sell it for a hefty profit (perhaps as hefty as the refrig itself?) this would help him see you as brilliant and not harebrained? You don’t have to tell him you will NEVER sell!

Really great find Tiffany.
~Marilee

Donna - January 11, 2011 - 7:43 pm

Well W.H.I.D be damned…that has to be the best free roadside find ever!!! I mean EVER!!! You hit the jackpot baby! I would not have been able to contain myself. I think I would have had to camp out beside that pink beauty until I had help loading it. I would have been afraid that someone else would come along and try to scoop my find before I got back to load her up. Congrats on finding such a treasure.

Erica Cooper - January 11, 2011 - 5:05 pm

You are hilarious… I love it. I think I could really use this little blue pill this week. I opened up a can of worms yesterday and it would really come in handy today. :)
Love your “little” pink fridge by the way… it rocks and so do you!

Kana - January 11, 2011 - 4:05 pm

I really LOVE your free find, it looks great and some nice storage!!! Well, free except for the $100, it’s always something isn’t it?

Country Wife - January 11, 2011 - 12:58 pm

Your blog is so fun! And love the refrigerator :)

Monica - January 11, 2011 - 11:50 am

Wow Hubby gets an award. My husband would say no way. But with that find there would be no stopping me either.

Nisha - January 11, 2011 - 9:38 am

that is 100% fabulous!

Aly Severance - January 11, 2011 - 6:54 am

Sherry Hicks - January 11, 2011 - 6:30 am

I absolutely love this post, and your idea! This is the cutest idea for an office file cabinet ever!!
Thanks for sharing I had fun reading.

Cassandra - January 11, 2011 - 4:52 am

I am in LOVE! Deeply in LOVE! What a steal..i would have NEVER come across something so neat..Have fun!

Jamie Willow - January 10, 2011 - 8:31 pm

I was already loving this, and then i saw your susan branch calendar and I swooned…ahh…so much to love…

kat - January 10, 2011 - 1:34 pm

Seriously, I would have passed out if I had seen that awesome pink fridge on the side of the road. You are a lucky girl indeed. It’s positively darling!

Kim G. - January 10, 2011 - 9:26 am

It is a perfect file cupboard! The best I’ve seen!

Violet@CreateBeauty - January 10, 2011 - 8:51 am

Tiffany, YOU ARE MY KIND OF WOMAN!!!!! I would have done the same thing. That pink refrigerator is wonderful, and perfect for how you will use it. You are SO funny!!!!!

Actually, I own a pink refrigerator. And a sink and stove… but it is child-size and lives in my laundry room for little girls to play with when they come over.

But a full size one? PERFECT!!!!!

I’m having a give-away on my blog this week ~ I made a “Reach For Your Dreams” friendship glittered wand…. with a little crowned bird upon it, which you might need for your office also : ) ~~~ Hope you’ll stop by!
~ Violet

Elaine/TinkerVerve - January 10, 2011 - 8:47 am

Love this post!
I’ve been giving a lot of ‘thought’ {and some action} to your ‘weight loss post’…maybe this cute little refrigerator would be a good distraction from opening the one that’s full of food and yummy options…. {just a thought}
Enjoy your cute new addition!

Holly R. Moore - January 10, 2011 - 8:13 am

Hilariously written. Hats off to you and your gorgeous new find!! It looks great and I bet was totally worth giving your hubby WHID. Haha!

Hugs and happy day to you!

Angela - January 10, 2011 - 6:58 am

Florence Muma - January 9, 2011 - 9:44 pm

OMG how perfect is that. Love it!!! We have an old refrigerator that is still functional, it dates back to the 50′s. We use it for extra drinks, but now when it dies, I think you have the greatest idea. Florence

lulu/linda morrison - January 9, 2011 - 9:34 pm

that refrigerator is the perfect holder for those cute chicks! Great idea Tif. See you soon. L

Tracey Gianakas - Posh Girl Friday - January 9, 2011 - 6:24 pm

Oh and if they made that blue pill, I would be first in line!

Judy - January 9, 2011 - 4:49 pm

I cannot believe you scored that beauty on the side of the road for FREE (well, except the $100 that is…) :-) Lucky girl!

Judy

Kelly Tareski - January 9, 2011 - 4:13 pm

OMG ~ How freaking awesome is fridge… Great Find…

Molly of Fleur de Bee - January 9, 2011 - 3:42 pm

Melanie {The Tiny Tudor} - January 9, 2011 - 3:42 pm

You may be the luckiest girl ever to have found that beauty on the side of the road! It’s amazing. I love how you’re using it in your office.

Natasha Burns - January 9, 2011 - 3:31 pm

Oh my!!! This is amazing Tiffany! And the story that went with it, priceless! I can’t wait to see it in October!
I have a similar story involving a chippy green desk, however, the pill would have been handy… Because I stupidly squeezed it into my car, wrecking some of the interior fabric, and it barely got through the door to get in the room, and the chain effect it caused was really not worth the effort! (but I had to pretend it was and hold my ground with my hairbrained idea!)

Grace - January 9, 2011 - 3:09 pm

Oh My God!!! Ok I first have to say wow this is amazing but great applause for your husband! See no blue or Pink pill needed. Gorgeous fridge/storage for your office. Grace xxoxoxo

Lisa Hilderbrand - January 9, 2011 - 2:41 pm

I think that has to be THE BEST EVER free thing by the side of the road I have ever seen…and I have seen a lot of free stuff in my day.
Awesome, Girlfriend….simply awesome.
xxoo,

oh yes maam miss rochelle, I have every intent of having the wallpaper up by then! :)
xoxox

admin - January 9, 2011 - 2:25 pm

It doesn’t match my kitchen at all, it is all creams and wood tones. My original intent was to have it outside my house to keep my overabundance of eggs in, but alas, when I found out it was not working and was going to be a fortune to fix, the office idea came to mind! :)
xoxo

Sue Hetherington - January 9, 2011 - 2:25 pm

Ya know Tiffany, if I saw that very same fridge on the side of the road, you are probably one of the first people I would think about that would absolutely love it and go for it. It is soooo YOU! I absolutely LOVE it! I am actually feeling pangs of jealousy….I wonder if there’s a Pink Pill for that condition ;-)

What a find!

Oh, and about the ‘little blue pill’, let me know if you come across any….;-)

When I first saw “W.H.I.D.” my first initial thought went to something I have heard from my hubby…LOL…What Have I Done (NOW)? LOL

Good score girl!

Sue

kimberly - January 9, 2011 - 2:24 pm

Have I mentioned today how much I adore you? No? Well, I do.
I can’t believe that room was empty a week ago! You are the most ambitious friend I have and I aspire to be as driven~

Alisa - January 9, 2011 - 2:19 pm

Oh my word! It’s so cute and in such great condition! It’s got to be definitely worth any grumbling.

Alice - January 9, 2011 - 2:14 pm

Love your new office find. The color is amazing. To be so lucky to have one in my office…..I can dream. lol

Leah - January 9, 2011 - 2:05 pm

Dollys Cherry Heart - January 9, 2011 - 2:02 pm

I need a bottle of those magical blue pills too! PLEASE!!!!

Only it’s hanging on the wall next to my wooden tea house :) :) So cute. I’m so glad that I found your blog, thanks to Rene’!! Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

Chris Scogin - January 9, 2011 - 1:54 pm

Tiffany I Love your pretty pink fridge, I have those Hair brain Ideas all the time. My husband doesn’t just grumble it’s more of a loud rumble, so send those blue pills this way asap. LOL
P.S. Did you find that in Enumclaw? It’s my home town I grew up on Mud Mt Rd.
