just wake me when she

> 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

> Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will

> during her lunch hour, but chaps, we take them 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 would help
> her figure. 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
> lawn. I tried not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I told her to fix
> herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and
> just relax for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself,
> she might as well make one for me too.
>
> I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Carol.
> I'm not saying that showing this much patience & consideration is easy.
> Many men would find it difficult if not impossible. Nobody knows better
> than I do how frustrating women get as they get older.

> However, Chaps, even if you just use a little more tact and less

> The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch
