    What's the difference between...

    What's the difference between somebody alphabetizing all the sub-forums (forae?) on this board within the forums, and your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other straightening out you reloading bench?

    One we don't have control over and the other we REALLY don't have control over?

    I noticed it too, but in the grand scheme of things isn't a big deal to me. I'll get accustomed to it. It'll just take a few days

    One is helpful, the other is a shooting offense!

    And just when I knew where to find the categories of items that interested me, I give up

    the difference is that the reloading room clean-up ain't gonna happen.

    If I was a betting man, I'd bet on this one.

    I never thought of it either. Maybe a man catches a break more often than he thinks.

    Straightening out my loading bench? That's pretty funny. Tried to hire a maid once and she offered to burn the place down for $100, lol.
    Alphabetizing the forums? Didn't notice. May cause me to explore a forum I normally don't visit, could be a good thing.

    I think it's more like OCD.

    Proper casting and reloading techniques may resemble OCD to the folks who don't understand the importance of attention to detail and consistency. BRB, gotta go wash my hands, lol.

    Well, the first part of the question is no problem for me. But the second half of the question, IT was done ONCE ( by her ) and NEVER EVER touched again!!!!!!

    That a pet peeve with walmart, why the heck are you moving the food around so I can't find half of what is on my list before my legs give out?

    I noticed that the sub-fora had been alphabetized but figured I had unintentionally changed a setting somewhere. As for "organizing" my reloading, that could work ... just as long as she agrees to sit beside me and hand me the things I need like a surgical nurse. Ah, Honey, could you hand me that rusty coffee can full of 750 grain 45-70 bullets, please? No, this is the wrong can. These are 650 grain. While you're up, I need 2# of 2F with the same lot number as this empty can and that box of 45-70 dies with the extra dies in it that won't close anymore and the wrench to tighten them with. Where are those cases I cleaned last month? Seen the primer tool lately? Yes, the one with the green tray. [Daydream Off/] I'm relatively sure the last time she was in that room was the day before it became my reloading room. The next time she'll venture past the door will be when she liquidates my estate.

    Except for the Commercial Sector.

    'V' comes first, and 'P' comes after 'S' in that zone.
