Subject: Bob's Story

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 Bob. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Carol.

When I took "early retirement" last year, it became necessary for Carol to get a
full-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 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 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 yard.
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 that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Carol. 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, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and 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,
Bob

Me: "Today is International Women's Day."
Coworker: "So we have to think about women all day?"
Me: "Yup."
Coworker: "How is that different from any other day?"
Me: "Today it's official."
Coworker: "Hooters for lunch then."
Me: "Yup."

Midlife for a woman begins when...

You go to the doctor and you realize you're now so old, you have to pay someone to look at you naked.

You no longer have upper arms, you now have wingspans.

You are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, you are now flying squirrels in drag.

You stand naked in front of a mirror and can see your rear end. (without turning around).

You go for a mammogram and you realize it is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless in film.

You're in the grocery store and you hear a Muzak version of "Stairway to Heaven" in the produce department.

You bounce (a lot), but you don't bounce back.

Life throws you curves...and that you're now sitting on your biggest ones.

It's very hard to "get jiggy with it" ... jiggly, yes - jiggy, no.

Your 1970s Body-by-Jake now includes Legs-by-Rand McNally. (more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of the state of Tennessee).

You want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube to and scream "Listen, honey, even the Roman Empire fell, and those things will too!"

You look at your latte-swilling, beeper-wearing know-it-all teenager and think ... "For this I have stretch marks?!"

Your memory really starts to go and the only thing you still retain is water.

You become more reflective. You start pondering the "big" questions-- what is life, why am I here - or - how much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

A Woman's Random Thoughts ...

Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.

Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them.

One of life's mysteries is how a 2 pound box of candy can make a woman gain 5 pounds.

The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.

I know what Victoria's Secret is. The secret is that nobody older than 30 can fit into their stuff.

A friend of mine confused her valium with her birth control pills. She had 14 kids, but she doesn't really care.

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, "you know sometimes I just forget to eat."

Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "listen witch...do it and die!"

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?
