The cardboard exchange sounded just right to me.



Thanks for the opinion. When the event happened, I thought something needed to be said to correct the facts but not to the point of proving anything.

BB does not walk the dogs. We have an big lot (150 X 300) so the dogs run a lot.

Don't discuss anything like this -- just act.


I was intending to do that after one more try. Maybe I will just load the dogs up and go to the park by the river (grassy paths). BB does not like walking around our house. Large gravel on the roads here.

I was looking at the reviews of "Tell Me No Lies: How to Face the Truth and Build a Loving Marriage", Author : Ellyn Bader~Peter T., Ph.D. Pearson~Judith Schwartz, ISBN : 0312262388.

BB is a dreamer sometimes. Recently she has been talking about a Hummer-3 so we looked at one. Then a 4 door, 4 wheel drive pick-up, then a Durango, and then another SUV she was talking about. Rather different for me to even set foot on a car lot but I decided that I don't have to run for the govenor's position just to look in the state capitol. I did tell BB she can look but I don't intend to have one parked in our driveway.

On a brighter note, BB was telling a friend that was worried about increased heating costs, to do what Lou did a couple of years ago, Install a new hi-efficient furnace. The friend said a new furnace cost $2,800. BB said , but Lou installed ours and it was only $900. BB paid a compliment to me about getting a jump on higher home heating costs.
