My husband is an engineer. He kept a plastic coffee mug for 10+ years. You could no longer see what was on it and the inside was stained brown. At least he’ll keep you till the day you die.

Doni, LOL! I always tell him that! He’ll do something and I’ll say, “You haven’t changed your style of jeans since 1983. I think we’re stuck with each other!”
