this is my journal and i will do whatever the fuck i like!
it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of
housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this,
try to show some understanding. My name is Wayne, and let me
relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Beverly.
When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Bev to
get a fulltime job along with her part-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 country club, so eating out again at night
is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooking 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 the dishes 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. 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 that this 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
Bev, and I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is
easy. Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get
as they get older, but, guys, even if you just use a little more
tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this
letter, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile.
After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.
Signed,
Wayne
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Wayne died tragically on March 1st of a perforated rectum. The
police report says he was found with a Calloway extra long
50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end,
with barely 5 inches of grip showing and with a sledge hammer
lying nearby.
His wife Beverly was arrested and charged with murder. The
all-woman jury took only 15 minutes to find her Not Guilty,
accepting her defense that Wayne somehow, without looking,
accidentally sat down on his golf club lengthwise.
because of this outbreak next years foaling season may not happen no doubt you would of heard about it on the news. El Costa De Lago is one who may be infected his cover charge is $220,000 per mare and serves up to 5 mares a day. so that is a huge loss for Coolmore Stud. something worse then that is our Diva is at Coolmore with her newborn colt and she was due to be served by De Lago in the coming weeks. i am just praying both she and her new colt are safe in the foaling stables/paddock and away from the stallions.
if this outbreak gets worse the Melbourne Cup and millions of dollars will be lost for this year not to mention the studs are going to loose much of what they need to operate. $220,000 does not just cover the stallion. but feed, stabling and vet checks for the year to make sure all is going well and if she is staying to be covered again by the stallion in the weeks after she has dropped her first foal.
having grown up on such a horse stud i know what they are going through and hope that you all join me in praying that these horses are well and the EI does not spread or kill any of them which would be a tradgedy in itself.
at the moment i would give anything to be able to drive down to Portarlington to the place i grew up and work my frustrations off. who knows maybe that is my problem i know i was much like this last year as well. dreaming about horses wishing i could go for a ride and watch the foals stand for the first time. there really is nothing better then that.

Before you scroll down for the answer, see if you can figure it out.
Come on. Think! How many?
If you're ready to give up, go ahead and scroll down.
But you're going to be embarrassed if you don't have the right answer!

Master has told the kids that he is leaving and they took it better then we expected i not long got home from a Melbourne excursion to spend more time with him since we hadnt done it in awhile. i now have a pritty dark blue and hot pink Wrangler t-shirt with a pink pony on it. and a white shirt with light pink writing down the side. Master also got me a new pair of heels for $15 they are silver, have an over strap so i dont feel like my foot will fall out and they feel very very tall at 4.5 inches which is very tall for me and they are pritty and will go well with the pritty corset all protectively hung in the wardrobe. gotta love DFO. then we ended up down at the water front and had some fish and chips on the pier near the Spirit of Tasmania which is HUGE and had a nice walk then went for a nice drive before having to come home so Master could go back to work. Turbo has been pritty well behaved its a wonder what food does he has only had about 15minutes of sleep in the car and i was practically asleep on the train home. so a relaxing night for me tonight as long as i get at least 2 of my chores done.
next weekend is my baby free weekend and Master is away on a scout camp with the kids so dont know what i will do yet any ideas let me know.
i took over my dog again since my mum just yells at him for scratching and doesnt bother to find out why. i found a large scab on his back leg and when i went to work on it fleas came out it was discusting anyway now we have a fluffy dog with a bare bum but it had to be done but the clippers worked well, then found some stuff to kill fleas and covered him with it made all the easier considering it didnt have hair to contend with on his ass where the infestation is the worst and put some frontline on him which mum forgot she had, so hopefully it will help. i'll be back on tuesday to check on him.
an interesting thing though he lay down so i could check him out without a fuss and when i was clipping him i let him settle where he wanted to be which happened to be in front of the gate so it made it hard for mum to get in and out but he lay there and let me do what i wanted. its the same with giving him a bath, i let him get settled and then i work with him my mum is the oposite she will fight with him to get him where she wants him and fight with him until she is done yet i get the job done better and he is relaxed the entire time i am working with him.
i posted to the under30's group that i wanted to organise a girly weekend to introduce my friend sarah to people. which has now been turned into a huge under30's weekend. funny how you mention Dragon House and people will almost jump through hoops to get there. so trying to organise it for next month. emailed rose to see what weekends she has open. i do love organising these things i should do it more often.
in other news i got my mum off her computer and into her garden!!! which is huge. i got one part of it cleaned up and then she joined me and started doing some herself. unfortunately her cherry blossom tree died was deprived of sunlight due to the jasmine i think it was that over grew and covered it. but the main thing is i got her out there next step is to see what she does.
FUCKING SOLAR HOT WATER AND WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so ofcourse it was slightly warm to start with and then the water was freezing because not only is it overcast so the hot water didnt have time to heat but the pannel is leaking on the roof and housing havent come to fix it yet. so when i get the water bill along with my last one i will go to them and see if they will pay it. since they arent fixing the problem.
today i got a full set of gel nails and i must say while it hurt alittle when it was getting done my god does it feel weird doing anything...
