    She is great at doing my laundry and makes a great potato salad. That's about it.

    I take it she is not an Answermugger then ele so there is no way in he** she will ever see this answer?  I make potato salad all the time. Does she put hard-boiled eggs in hes to pump up the nutritional value? A little mustard for tang/color? Mayo? Celery? Onions? Doing laundry well is an admirable skill. You're a lucky guy! It could be worse. :( Thank you for your reply ele and Happy Friday! :)

  • He left in 1999 and that's probably the best thing he ever did for me.

  • He’s keen to share his feelings and to connect emotionally everyday.

    He is my best and most trusted friend of 34 years.

    He’s willing to work at overcoming obstacles and challenges.

    He’s a foil to my foibles: his networking counters my cave-dwelling; his hope, my fears; his ideals, my skepticism; his musicality, my pedantry.

    He’s at his best and most supportive when my need is greatest.

    He share’s the burden of chores half-half, which includes the ones that are beyond my capacity like crank starting our ancient water pump.

    I love the sound of his voice, his laughter, and his singing.

    I like the influences he brings into my life.

  • Oh, we haven't been perfect by any means.
    We've had to work at it -- pretty dang hard sometimes.
    But we did start with two good foundations: shared values and friendship.
    I'd recommend that formula to anyone young and looking for a permanent mate.
