Unfortunately, they're about the same size. I'm struggling with it. I think I'm having to fight against my meds and middle age. But, I'm not giving up. Since it's warmer, I've been getting outdoors more and getting a little exercise.

I have a lot of trouble retaining water too....especially in the summer. My feet and hands swell so bad. If you know of any good home remedies for this, let me know...

tell your doc about the swelling that could be hypertension related -- he will put you on HCTZ which will make you pee all damn day, but will cut down on water retention.

Yeah....I'm on Norvasc, which seems to help the BP. So, I'll ask him about the other..

oh a happy note you'll probably lose 5lbs of water weight!

Terrific!

When you listen to these guys they act so know it all but in their heart they need a woman to love them and also to be practical. Carry your womanhood with pride and love them. They need it. Just life with its challenges.

Relax you are the male...you are the ones that make the challenges for the women. Didn't your Dad let you in on this little secret. It keeps the woman happy and busy.

The only real challenge that confronts my wife is when two of her favorite shows are on at the same time, at which time she reads me the riot act if I inadvertantly knock the one out she's recording on my TV.

Damned Dish Network. You'd think that what one does on one television would not affect the other one, but not so in this case.

The only advice dad gave me regarding women was not generally condusive to good marital relations, though in retrospect, some of it should have been heeded by me.

Something about getting in and getting out. But then with eight kids that I know of, he never was very good about taking his own advice.

The wife is not overly taxed by me, though it must be opined that she is very capable of taxing my patience.

I still maintain that marriage is not a natural state for a man.

That is interesting. I believe it is a perfect state for a woman. I also have heard that faithful couples is not that way always in a wild animal natural state like geese. . A woman wants a faithful hardworking man for a husband but that does not always mean that she is faithful . Interesting what a person can learn on late night t,v,. I am using my daughters computer; JEENA'S napping.

Oh, infidelity is not one of my wife's vices. Besides, she knows I would do the same if I ever caught her doing that. I don't cheat, but neither am I quite as straight-laced as she is.

That would just be opportunity thrown into my lap.

Her basic problem is that her mouth did not come equipped with a zipper. Also, the mute button on the remote does not work when I point it at her and push it.

That's woman's mouth will still be working for thirty minutes after she's pronounced dead.
