Hey, kiddo, Glad to hear you're OK. Luck on the job! I used to work for a telephone interconnect co. that had all of Ohio & Kentucky. Back then most of the people realized that they'd eventually have all the new big systems they could sell & bus. would wind down to just service & changes. A few yrs later they sold it. Quit while they were ahead? Don't know what happened to the techs & programmers.

My daughter in law got laid off 3 wks ago. She was the only graphics designer at a small print co. The customers whose designs she did are sending her their stuff AT HOME! She's thinking about naming her business "In My Slippers". They have a couple powerful MAC's & other cool stuff, but her talent is the most important asset. She's a very very good artist.

Speaking of graphics, another reason I'm a newspaper person is one of my sons prints our local daily. Macy's changes cut out mega pages of ads, recession even more, but they also print a weekly that hits 5 counties. Gotta keep my kid employed \:D

Did your wife always dislike you "being all over her"? Maybe she's always thought sex over 40 would die off?? If she's beginning or in "perimenopause" mood swings are a given. The combination of stress over unemployment & your being home all day could be a big bag of worry to carry around. In the event she ever decides to try an antidepressant, make sure the Dr. doesn't give her one that kills either libido or orgasms or both. Some do, others don't.

Google "Humunculus" for an image of where various body part sensations are in the brain. Funny looking pic, but stuff's in the same places male or female. I doubt my H would go for foot rubs. He's ticklish. Making him giggle isn't what I have in mind LOL. Have a good week. I hope to get some sleep tomorrow & be more social later in the week.
