G0AT HER0

Comedian Jamie Loftus tells a story about a friend of hers that worked on the set of Master of Disguise. Apparently, parts of the turtle scene were filmed on September 11, 2001. Despite the fact that America had just suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history the director didn’t let anyone go home and the entire cast and crew had to work a full day. Imagine trying to process a national tragedy of that magnitude while holding a boom mic over Dana Carvey in a turtle suit. That director should be brought up on war crimes.

Damn Negin, I feel sorry for your husband. Let the poor guy close the shade! What difference does his reason make if it gives him some modicum of comfort and/or joy? The better question is... how are you using these blinds? Are you yanking on the cord like you're trying to start a mower? Does he do a Tarzan impression every night, swinging from window to window? If used properly shades should last a really long time. Simply opening and closing them once a day shouldn't significantly shorten their lifespan. Maybe there is a shade operating tutorial you two can watch on YouTube and then your husband can go back to using the shades, which he clearly wants to do.
