Answer a Question with a Question...

I'm married to someone far more organized and efficient than I am. When it comes to bringing tasks alllll the way to completion, his ability to stay focused helps me stay on track. Sure, I buy the cards and even write them out, but then they sit (unaddressed) for a few days until he casually says, "If you'll address those cards I'll take them to the post office while I'm out."

Is our marriage unusual in that way?
 
Only a few of my (same age as me) married friends have excellent marriages. Often both partners behave as if they're much put upon. Putting the other down seems a perverse way to try to elevate oneself. Perhaps that's why our parties and social group is populated by people from their 20s - 90s, with a strong emphasis on the 30s - 50s.

I've found that discontent as well as joy can be infectious, have you also noticed that?
 
Certainly! There's nothing more contagious than a bad attitude!!!

Which do you wear most often, a smile or a frown??
 
I'm certainly not agile enough to place my head on the floor and get my legs to bend far enough to stand on my head, are you??
 
No, on the contrary, yoga relaxes you.....I am one of the most stressed out people on the planet.
Do you find that listening to music relaxes you.....providing it's your choice and not the neighbours?
 
If I told you we live in a community that is home to a large university and a nearby military base, would you believe we "enjoy" lots of other people's VERY LOUD music as they drive down the streets near our home??
 
I would believe it, having lived right next to the Queens colour RAF squadron parade ground... where music practice went on all the time but especially early on Sunday mornings... :eek:...have you ever been a member of one of the forces?

That reminds me of when we lived in Kenya and our men were training the Africans to take over the base. A squad were being taught how to march....my father went into the canteen and put 'Spanish Flea' on the jukebox. Africans have a strong sense of rhythm and couldn't stop themselves dancing to the music instead of marching!

Enlisted in the Air Force in 1966. New bride and I planned on making it a career. Was refused entry to any of the four services due to extremely poor eyesight. Wore "pop bottle thick" glasses back then. Our son is career U.S. Army. He's in Korea at the present time. Made E-8 this past year. Still has about 5 years before he will retire.

Answering the last questions with a question... Do you know I have two left feet, having never mastered dancing or marching?
