No LB, my husband likes to listen to NPR - he finds it amusing & instructive, and
habs, it doesn't suppress his appetite:-(
Anyway, he's taking a nap, and when he get's up, we're headed outside to dow some work: reordering the storage shed.
One problem, he's had for the past months is his working on a book & a website, and spending too much time at the computer which = too little exercise.
Another tack I've taken is to explain to son: it's not a mother/child thing, it's just plain considerate to let a person who cares about you know under certain circumstances -blizzards, travel, hurricanes, tornadoes !! - how you are!
First son is really pretty forthcoming, but NOT second son....BUT at 20, HE went to India, and that CURED me of ever worrying about him AGAIN! LOL!
