[QUOTE="DDD, post: 445802, member: 35"] I can't participate in the forgetfulness line as husband will be 79 in a couple of months. It wouldn't be fair. BUT "logic" that's on the table. A year ago husband decided that the lawn service cost too much money, did a lousy job [B]and[/B] he could use the exercise pushing a mower. WTH! The first time he brought it up I said "remember that we have been married almost thirty five years and you have [B]never [/B]enjoyed mowing the lawn". He smiled. A few days later he is looking through Consumer Reports which happens to have, darn it, an article on lawn mowers. After watching him make notes and study the report I said "husband I know this sounds like a good idea to you right now but please rethink this idea. You and I work six and a half days a week...neither one of us has much energy leftover." That week he purchased a lawn mower! A year later as of this exact moment our yard is the ugliest around. We don't have a "lawn"...we have an unkept "yard". Once again I will have to get little difficult child to come over and mow. husband has mowed twice in a little over twelve months! "Logic" is a missing gene. And last Sunday he actually said to me "why don't we go over to the Coast for a few days?" HUH? Business is awful. I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul. Close the store and go on a vacation? OMG. I'm afraid aging is making it worse. DDD [/QUOTE]
