I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.

JIM AND PEGGY
It is important for men to remember that as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there’s nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
My name is Jim. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Peggy. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Peggy to get a full-time 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 club 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 club so eating out is not reasonable. I’m ready for some home-cooked grub 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 they 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, I think. For example, Peggy 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 tact 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 Peggy. I’m not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult, some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.

JimEDITOR’S NOTE: Jim died suddenly on May 27 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 Five inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby.His wife Peggy was arrested and charged with murder.
The all-woman jury took only 15 minutes to find her not guilty, accepting her defense that Jim somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club very quickly. -
Yeah that was a messed up trial; but, ummmm… He was at fault? Granted in the end I think she should be charged with murder if she committed it… But that can be taken as “Jim-was-a-saint”, which he definitely was not…

i dont know what to say. she should probably be charged, but the the prosecution should have no trouble getting a re-trial by using common sense. i mean, an all women jury, every man knows women run on emotion, and strongly act on the emotions they have at the time, for better or for worse. it could easily be seen that the lawyer knew what he/she was working with and made this a bad man vs. old nice lady trial. that shouldnt be the case for murder, but i’m not even sure if i want to see that lady in jail. but was the man an evil orge or just a jackass. and do even jackasses deserve to be murdered. its one of those things ya’ know. u’m for the rule of law in this one, but maybe just give her five years in minimum security prison, and let her out for good behavior in 2 1/2. shit, i dont know what to do in this situation.

She’s obviously not guilty. You men have a very hard time preventing yourself from attaining significant, massive, bodily injuries without us women to mollycoddle you.
