Hey AW, how are you? Hope all is well...:)
Excellent summary, your entire post.
What’s the use of complaining, rl?
Hahaha...I had to go for a hearing test a few weeks ago, and the Audiologist asked why I needed my hearing checked, and I told her my wife forced me to do it! (She kind of did...:) though often I can’t hear her and have to yell out “What?” because she is speaking conversationally to me from the next room! (and I have to pay attention, because she occasionally quizzes me to make sure I am actually listening to her with a “What did just say?”
I don’t want to fail that one! She might make me some “special” tea from specific plants she grows in her garden...:)
ME: (sipping my homemade tea) Honey, what plant is that?
HER: Oh, that’s Digitalis. Pay no attention to it. It has pretty flowers. I pick them sometimes. How are you feeling?
ME: Oh, ah...okay I guess. Why? What about that one? It isn’t that pretty. What is that one?
HER: Oh, that’s Castor Bean. I use it for “special” things.
ME: Uh, really?
HER: Yes. How are you feeling right now? Just curious.
I guess when they ask that question “Do you feel safe at home?” I should answer “I do, unless she offers me some of her “tea” in that sweet voice of hers when I know she is mad at me!”
Then she asked if I had any other hearing issues, and I said I have pretty significant tinnitus with three different tones going on at once, and she asked if I had mentioned it to my doctor.
I said I had, for some years, but...nobody seemed the least bit interested in doing anything about it. I found out they can’t really do a lot about it anyway, so...I just shut up and don’t say anything, except to poke fun at it.
Classic case of “What’s the use of complaining?”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
I’m taking all of those!
I love my wife...she treats me like gold...not kidding!
Based on your anecdotes here, sounds like you deserve it! Long may you both enjoy the life you’ve created together!
It’s not our side that needs to be worried if the truth comes out.
