ADVICE FROM RETIRED HUSBAND RON
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 ov*rs*nsitive woman.
When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Lorraine to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed.
Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club 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.
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 front lawn 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.
EDITOR’S NOTE:
Ron d*ed s*dd*nly on January 31 of a p*rf*rated r*ct*m.
The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club j*mm*d up his r*ar end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing, and a sl*dge hammer laying nearby.
His wife Lorraine was *rr*sted and ch*rg8d with m*rd*r…
The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her N*t G*ilty, accepting her defence that Ron, somehow without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.
A hole in one, so to speak.
