>>but I am getting barked at...lol. I will NEVER move again and certainly not with this husband<,

I hear ya--Mine just retired in Nov. and we moved the end of Dec.

I can't even watch my TV. It's cowboys and war movies everyday all day....(sigh)

and he took over my checkbook

Might I suggest another TV...say, on another level? Or, turn the garage into a "shop" for him, cable included. I'm tellin' ya, the more remotes you have, the better your chances of sanity!

He took your checkbook??? Where I come from that's a hangin' offense!

That's just wrong! Find a volunteer job for him or you will go batty within a year!

Oh, you poor thing.

We sold our sawmill in Wyoming in 1990. Mr. RR tried to retire. He drove me out of my mind. He followed me everywhere. I felt like we were joined at the hip. One day, I just had enough and told him, "I took you for better or worse, but NOT for lunch every dam*ed day!" One week later he bought a new business here in So. Dakota. We moved here, built a new home and have lived happily ever after. Our sons recently bought into the business and Mr. RR is slowing down again.....but, oh joy, he discovered golf! The boys are doing a really great job with the plant, hubby plays a lot of golf, we travel quite often, and I FReep. After 45 years of marriage, we have found a good balance. Life is good.

Wish it were so for Beth Holloway-Twitty. My heart breaks for all those who loved Natalee.

P.S. He took over your checkbook? Oh, the horror!!!
