&quot;The positive side of life&quot; <BR> <BR>Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year. <BR> <BR>How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you&acute;re on. <BR> <BR>Birthdays are good for you; <BR>the more you have, <BR>the longer you live. <BR> <BR>Happiness comes through doors you <BR>didn&acute;t even know were open. <BR> <BR>Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier <BR>than the people who have to wait for them. <BR> <BR>If Walmart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet? <BR> <BR>You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. <BR> <BR>Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. <BR> <BR>Don&acute;t cry because it&acute;s over; smile because it happened. <BR> <BR>We could learn a lot from crayons: <BR>some are sharp, some are pretty, <BR>some are dull, some have weird names, <BR>and all are different colors....but <BR>they all exist very nicely in the same box. <BR> <BR>A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. <BR> <BR> <BR>

he he he.......... some members of a health club were having their first meeting. The director of the group said, Now, i&acute;d like each of you to give the facts of your daily routine......... Several people spoke, admitting their excesses, and then one obviously over weight member said, &quot;I eat moderately, I drink moderately, and I exercise frequently&quot;......... &quot;Hmmm?&quot; said the manager, and are you sure you have nothing else to add???? &quot;Well, yes, said the member, &quot;I lie extensively&quot;

Hi Guys ! <BR> <BR>Listen-up, if you don&acute;t want to be picking yourself up off the floor, take a hint here and don&acute;t do this kind of stuff.... I&acute;ll just be under the keyboard if anyone needs to reach me. <BR> <BR>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 they did when they were younger. <BR>When men notice this, they should try not to yell. <BR> <BR>Let me relate how you should NOT handle these situation. <BR> <BR>When I chucked my job and took early retirement a year ago, it became necessary for Nancy to get a full-time job both for extra income and for health insurance benefits that we need. She was a trained lab tech when we met thirty some years ago and was fortunate to land a job at the local medical center as a phlebotomist. <BR> <BR>It was shortly after she started working at this job that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper. I try not to yell at her when this happens. <BR> <BR>Instead, I tell her to take her time. I understand that she is not as young as she used to be. I just tell her to wake me when she finally does get supper on the table. <BR> <BR>She used to wash and dry the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren&acute;t cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed. <BR> <BR>Our washer and dryer are in the basement. When she was younger, Nancy used to be able to go up and down the stairs all day and not get tired. Now that he is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Sometimes sheays she just can&acute;t make another trip down those steps. I don&acute;t make a big issue of this. As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening I am willing to overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday&acute;s lodge meeting or to Wednesday&acute;s or Saturday&acute;s poker club or to Tuesday&acute;s or Thursday&acute;s bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog, vacuuming, or dusting. <BR> <BR>Also, if I have had a really good day fishing, this allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace. Nancy is starting to complain a little occasionally. Not often, mind you, but just enough for me to notice. <BR> <BR>For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won&acute;t have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn&acute;t hurt her any, if you know what I mean. <BR> <BR>When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods than she used to have to take. A couple of weeks ago she said she had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I overlook comments like these because I realize it&acute;s just age talking. In fact, I try to not embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I tell her to <BR>fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. I tell her that as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock so she can talk with me until I fall asleep. <BR> <BR>I could go on and on, but I think you know where I&acute;m coming from. <BR> <BR>I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Nancy on a daily basis. I&acute;m not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older. <BR> <BR>My purpose in writing this is simply to suggest that you make the effort. Irealize that achieving the exemplary level of showing consideration I have attained is out of reach for the average man. <BR> <BR>However guys, even if you just yell at your wife a little less often <BR>because of this article, I will consider that posting this was worthwhile LOL <BR>
