    Mine has to read me articles from the newspaper, even though I am looking through my section at the time. Also, he hogs the front section and by the time he's finished, I've lost interest or I already know what's in it because he has told me! This just started since I retired.

    How many do we get to tell?

    My sewing room and computer is upstairs. Keith comes to the steps and says 'what are you doing'? I told him a million times, if I'm upstairs, I'm either on the computer or doing something that involves quilts and it doesn't matter which one it is, so why do you ask?

    I can't stand for him to ask stupid questions, like 'where is that ice cream you bought today'? I answer 'it's in the oven'. Since he is a native Texan and I'm originally from Pennsylvania, he tells me 'you have a smart Yankee mouth'. I tell him 'maybe so, but I know where the ice cream is'.

    You mean besides the usual farting, burping, picking of the nose?????? He has just recently taken to driving way too fast for my likes so I just get in and close my eyes....so much easier on the heart that way. But he is an extremely hard worker, knows his way around the laundry room, kitchen and knows where the bathroom cleaning supplies are, besides taking care of the yard, pool, etc. After 37 years of marriage, I feel I have the better side of the deal than he does being married to me. haha

    While reading all of these...I've been trying to think of which of his habits drives me the craziest....I'll just list the top 3.
    1. Stands at the bottom of the basement stairs and asks me questions....I'm in my sewing room with a machine going and the TV on....so all I hear is the voice....but not what he asked.
    2. Leaves his towels and underwear on the bathroom floor EVERY day. I have told him this isn't a hotel and we don't have maid service.
    3. Can not close a kitchen drawer. They always have to stay open...

    Mine is a doll, a wonderful person, REALLY he is.

    However, he has a dishwasher hang up where he takes stuff out of the dish washer and hand washes it because he thinks its too big and takes up too much room. OK, fine, but then the thing never fills up, and he gets mad because we run out of teaspoons or coffee cups. Well, honey, if you didn't take half the dishes out every day, we could run it every other day and have clean dishes, honey!

    He also absentmindedly rewards the dogs for being bratty...

    But hes pretty awesome overall.

    just thought of another one - he won't ask a direct question, just beats around the bush, for instance, he'll say, Are you getting up soon? when he wants something from the kitchen, instead of just asking for it.
