My dads’s aunt would call my mom several times per week when we were kids.  On, and on, my mom would get a hmm, or yes in every so often.  I know she half listened, as the aunt just talked and talked and talked!

Oh my goodness, i know this very well. When my Son was small I would do a "Leave it to Beaver on him" June Cleaver " wait until your dad gets home" and  my son would say "Mom I'm not in the mood for a lecture. They are too long. That was so funny and it would end there.

Before GPS many years ago I would ask my husband for directions. Ok!! he would start out and I would write it down, then he would say, but there is an easier route, I would write it down, then he would say, but this route is quicker, and in the meantime I am out the door and using the first directions.

The problem was he took so long to SAY IT that all I could do is laugh and leave and he wouldn't even know he was talking to himself. He was a lot of fun.

@hckynut  hahaha, whether long or short (have you ever done a short post) lol, I enjoy reading whatever you write. Let's just say "You make a lot of sense and you know something about everything"

Keep it going!!

My DH is an engineer and a very 'tech' kinda guy, so the simplest question can end up being a lesson in quantum psychics.

After 25 years together, I just kinda let my eyes glaze over during his dissertation and when he's done, I say "So was that a yes or a no?"

I’m also married to an engineer. Can so relate to your comments.

@LG 

I'm another one who was married to an engineer.  At our Friday night gatherings with the gang after work, all of the wives swore they would never allow their daughters to marry an engineer.  Just say'n.

@willomenia  you are so right. I would always say just one please and he would say ok but at the end he would still say BUT--- and by that time I'm out the door.
