A wife (and parents) can be useful adjuncts to PWDs/CWDs 🙂

I shouldn’t have written the sentence that you just quoted. It is misleading. I was referring solely to the two times that I had BBQ sauce on my fingers. I had tried to wipe it off at the table, but obviously there was enough residue to give a false-high reading.

May I suggest this to you? When you have BBQ sauce on your fingers, you are not supposed to wipe it off. You are supposed to **lick** it off…😋  
🤣

Just having fun. Welcome here, BTW!
