RE Blackfoot She also said I need to find a woman 20 years younger
Quote: this confuses you OG
Not confusing to me. More medical (lagitimate reasons to BB but I don't buy into them totally) reasons/excuses to not be physical from her POV, not mine. I see things we can do if she had more interest in doing them.
Quote: what you did was working-- you just gave in too soon.
At the time I thought I was rewarding some posative behavior because she was the one to reach out and touch me.
Quote: The HRT stuff was designed to make you feel guilty
Could be BF, but it sounded like she was realizing that HRT caused her breast cancer to grow faster but she did not like being off HRT because of the other problems that come about because of lower estrogen levels. I heard " either way (to HRT or to not HRT, that is the question) there are going to be problems", Some of her statements had tones of desperation.
Quote: Then things will never be as you want them.....stop the attempts to get her to 'understand'
I see the insight in thes statements.
Quote: Have you started 'walking the dogs' with her each day to give you guys some 'chit chat time', and incorporating some physical activity at the same time?
Good Idea BF. Might have to do it a couple times a week. I have to watch out it does not become another of BB's showing off her babies events. Three dogs of which 2 are given loads of attention.
Quote: or a 69 SS camaro, or a convertable Corvair etc
I know where about 20 Corvairs are but I don't know if any are convertables. I have a Corvair Spyder (turbo-charged) tac some where in my old car parts pile. I used to work on them back in 1967.
How about a 68 ElCamino with 283 V8,2BBL carb. 3 speed w/over drive, syncromesh first gear Saginaw transmission. (needs lots of work) BB says it is just a junk pile.
Lots of people go nuts over early Mustangs. Thay share the same basic parts and similar chasis as Falcons. Most people say Falcons are junk and Mustangs are good. I guess looks are more important than the core to most people. Camaro's are built better (duability) require less maintenance, and are easier to work on than Mustangs.
BB had a 66 Chevelle SS 396, 325 HP when I met her. I drove a 52 Chevy, 4 dr with an early style 'powerglide' transmission that stayed in "hi range" unless you moved the shift lever to low by hand. It was designed that way.
BB did not like her car and had trouble with it. (same situation with things now too,) I was some what satisfied with mine but wanted to go back to a manual transmission. Still want to have a 5-speed Dodge Caravan. Found 2 at the junk yards.
I had been to Maine and Florida in my car and it did the speed limit. In BB's car, you could be doing 75 MPH and pass some one, then find yourself doing almost 100 MPH easy. Although the SS package and the 396 cu.in. 325 HP engine was fun sometimes, I always wished she would have bought the car with a 283 cu. in. (est HP 175) engine.
Re vacation;
I was working in the yard sunday and over did it. My back went out a little. Usually it only takes a couple of days for everything to get back to normal. It didn't so I put off the vacation but will see how things are next week. I have trouble sitting still but am OK if I get up and move around every 10 minuets. 90% recovery takes fron 2 days to 4 weeks. Looks like this one is going to take over a week.
