        She has Alzheimer's so I only have to disappear for a short time. Good thing though because she is also OCD, so she cleans like crazy but forgets why. :) Just kidding about the about the Alzheimer's, Don't need a coat because it's hotter than hell but I do know the way out.

          My SO and I have been together for some time and she's been giving subtle hints lately about tying the knot. So I'm pretty dumb you gotta hit me over the head and straight out tell me what you want, and she hasn't. So the other day I said to her: "You remember that jewelry store where you had your earrings reset?" She got all excited and responded: "Yes" I said: "There's a hardware store next door would you pick up a box of nails on your way home?" Now she's madder than hell and that's how the the started.

                                      Not likely. Married 63 years here. First 60 were the hardest!

                                      >64 It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
