Mountain out of molehill, Virginia. Get an ice cream pail (or dish pan
or pail) and swap out your canning kettle. You can set an alarm for
him that will remind him to empty it on a regular basis, maybe every 12
hours. Find out how adept he really is.

Wrong approach, Virginia.

A husband is like a good quality carpet. Lay it properly, and you can
walk all over it for years.

been there....done that - my hubby fixes computers ...everyone else's, but
mine. I could suggest getting your pot and overturning it on his
head, but that kind of behaviour gets frowned upon. I like Barb's idea -
it'll annoy the hubby and remind him it needs to be taken care of - soon.
But, Dave's idea will work too......I also know this from experience, ;-)

Oh boy...

All good ideas. I've had the same problem with my Hun Bun. He's a
good guy. I just decided a while back that he will get around to
fixing whatever needs fixing. No nagging from me. Why should I
worry??? Of course, if he even thought of using any of my canning
stuff for other purposes, I'd remind him what a good shot I was the
last time we went to the shooting range. (I saved the target paper
with the bullseye I shot--it's proudly displayed on the fridge)

I used to keep targets hung on the wall at my office. (New York based
gun-hating employer.) When I moved to a new office I didn't hang them
back up, but I did put an NRA "Expert" marksmanship award on the wall.
It's in a nicer frame than the employee recognition award next to it.

I just finished framing a NRA "Sharpshooter" certificate with 8 bars
(that's 2 levels less than the "Expert" certificate I already have, but
this one is with a .38 revolver rather than just a .22 target pistol) to
hang up on Monday.

No threat whatsoever is implied nor intended. Just a subliminal
reminder that I'm a pretty good shot ;-)

Back to the *original* post: just swap out a plastic bucket for the
canner, no harm, no foul.

'Course if y'all *wanta* foul, just use his micrometer calipers to glue/hold
craft projects together, and then use his Craftsmen screwdrivers to open
plant stuff outside and leave them on the patio in the rain. Stand on his
motorcycle helmet to wash windows. I've nivver evir done such evil myself,
preferring a full blown hissy fit and get it over with. Ah, but one can
dream...

Yep!! We're like dogs; very simple creatures. Food, water, and a
little attention and we are eager to please our master.

I'm amazed at the love and devotion found in the members of this
newsgroup. Why, Lands Sakes, Miz Anne and I never argue at all. I just
tell her what to do and she does it immediately.

And, if y'all believe that I have a big bridge that is for sale cheap.

Actually Confucius had it right when he said, "A woman is like a gong,
they should be beaten frequently to keep them in tune."

That was said very much tongue-in-cheek of course. <G>

Using the tools and leaving them out in the weather....ah, that's what I
have a teenaged and post-teenaged boy for. Borrow Dad's tools and leave
them where they lay. Nah, I just tell the kids where his 'secret stash' of
goodies is and sit back and wait for the fireworks when he finds out all the
'goodies' that he thought no one knew he had nor did he acknowledge having
disappeared (if he denies they exist, can they 'really' be gone?). I just
consider this revenge of the good sort, as he is starting to resemble a
weeble and needs to go on a diet.....see I'm just 'helping'.
