just deserts dont you think!!??read it and see4 ur self

It is important for men to remember that, as women
grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same
quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When
you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive,
and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman .


My name is Ron . Let me relate how I handled the
situation with my wife, Julie. When I took "early retirement"
last year, it became necessary for Julie to get a full-time job,
both for extra income and for the health insurance that we needed.
Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show
her age. I usually get home from the golf course about the same time
she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am,
she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before
she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her
time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have
lunch in the Men's Grill at the BR club so eating out is not reasonable.
I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door .


She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not
unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do
what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening
that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it
does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.


Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will say
that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during
her lunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile
and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even
three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that
missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know
what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.


When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She
had to take a break when she was only half-finished mowing the backyard. I
try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice,
big, cold glass of freshly-squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while.
And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for
me too.


I know I probably look like a Saint in the way I support Julie. I'm not
saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it
difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how
frustrating women get as they get older. However, fellas, even if you use
just a little more tact and a little less criticism of your aging wife because
of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all,
we are put on this earth to help each other ....


Signed,


Ron


EDITOR'S NOTE: Ron died suddenly Thursday 2nd of December 2005.
He was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II (golf club) rammed up his ass, with only 2 inches of grip showing. His wife Julie was arrested, but the all-woman jury accepted her defense that he accidentally sat down on it very suddenly.
