Ohhhhh, my husband is all these rolled into one! Sheesh! The hearing aid thing..don't even go there! Plus he hears me when I'm talking quietly to someone in another room, but when talking to him...he doesn't hear. We call it "wife deafness." But I will admit I have to have the TV louder than he does. Go figure! But he does do grocery shopping on his own (I hate grocery shopping), looks decent most of the time, and so I guess he can stay a little longer (after 43 years, guess so). LOL

LOLOL! We had this conversation last week and I realized we had turned into old farts!
DH-Is it cold outside?
Me-Yes, it is and the wind is blowing.
DH-You're talking to Joey (DS)? What's up with him?
I'm still trying to figure out how we got from the weather to Joey. I realized that we have arrived! Not sure where, but we're there!

Ohhhhhh, I am sitting here laughing OUT LOUD, and breaking into DH's concentration on the talking heads on TV; especially with coopah's entry (I could have written that one myself, including the number of years married). I don't normally go into this section--I try to limit my computer time, but today can't seem to make myself sit down to my machine or go to my cutting table. Lotsa funnies, you ladies......

I do love DH dearly - but I really don't enjoy having him read the grocery ads to me!

I've just about decided my husband snores so loud so he can hear himself and wake up and go to bed. If i wake him he says he wasn't sleeping,just resting his eyes. And the snoring?.. Doesn't happen. Lol
