And I am here for you 100% as I have given up romance and returned full time to my duties. Speaking of stressful, falling in love was more than I could handle, but back to you, how may I be of help?
 

Pray for your lost soul.
 

You must kneel with me and we will pray together that you may cast out the lust in your heart.
 
Our local group are planning to celebrate the Turning of the Wheel fire festival with a skyclad assembly around a Yule fire this year but with advancing years and advancing arthritis I will feel foolish wearing nothing but a walking aid. Add to that I find the cold weather increasingly unpleasant when wearing nothing but a silly grin.

Elaine says that I'm a silly old fool for even thinking about going so do you think it would be acceptable to Lugh to sit wearing nothing but a onesie with a cup of cocoa in front of a roaring fire at home?
 
A man was stranded on a deserted island with 6 beautiful women when he saw a man swimming toward the island, he said to himself " there goes my Sunday's"..
 
My children, we should all pray together for you are in danger of losing your immortal souls.
 
Ralphy, my wife has a broken foot. The doctor told her to stay off it. It needs to be elevated and iced. Do they make an appliance that will support her on one leg while she is vacuuming, doing dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. I certainly don't have time to stand there and hold her up. The guys are meeting for coffee and then we're playing golf. After that, I have to take a nap before driving around the City Square in my truck. Should I just go to Home Depot and buy lumber or PVC pipe and build something so she can continue doing the work God set aside for women?
If I do build something, it has to be designed to keep the broken foot elevated. She fell down twice trying to vacuum last night since she was just hopping around on one foot with the other stuck up in the air. Took her quite a while to get up by herself. I couldn't leave watching Wheel of Fortune to help. Had to turn up the volume 'cause she was making this obnoxious snorting noise before she got back to standing on the good foot.
I guess the other option would be to see what I could trade her for at the Senior Center downtown. Maybe I could just rent another 70 year old woman that appreciates a good man and has two good legs.
I do need some advice, Ralphy!!!!!!

Grumpy it puts a lump in my throat and really warms my heart to see a man so concerned about his wife.......now if you'll excuse me I think I'll go have a good cry.
 
Get her a Roomba for Christmas. If only other problems could be solved so easily it would make Father Ralphy very happy.

Actually, she was hinting last night about a Roomba. Does anyone here have experience with one? We have a Riccar we bought in 1994. It has been AWESOME, but just doesn't have the "oomph" it once did. With the Labrador, we need something that will collect dog hair... lots of dog hair. I read lots of positives about the robot vacuums and just about as many negatives. Sounds like you still need a good standard vac to handle the spots the Roomba can't go. No bigger than our home is, we might be better served with just a new, top-of-the-line canister vac. Comments????

Oh! Truth... I've probably run the Riccar about as much as my wife has over the years. Did laundry last night, put supper together, and waited on her hand and foot. She's a special lady and, once I got home, she pretty well was "Queen" as I tried to do what I could to keep her comfortable!!!! We've always looked at this marriage as a "team"... a partnership. Has worked pretty well for a little over 50 years.
 
Well, my son, you are a good husband and Santa will bless you and maybe someone more important.

Grumpy, do you have a death wish? Just wait till she gets back on her feet, and then watch out!
