maritalbliss,

Thanks for the reply to checking in, which I do from time to time. The age thing is not a big deal now in terms of how I fee. Char has far more complaints than I do - bad knees, sore ankles, bad and sometimes sore hips which she really does due to her Osteoperosis, her back of course, sometimes stomach problems, urinary trac infection which ended a couple of months ago. I can say with all honestly Marital I can look at my wife and feel blessed for two reasons: first is, I am so happy that I don't have any of that yet, and second she still is an honerable and lovely woman who just happens to be my wife. I think the thing that I fear tho most now Marital is the day that I could not hold her or care for her, whether is be helping her walk or climb the stairs here to out place when I can get her here.

It is just too too bad that most BHs do not seem to have the fortitude to steel themselves and look forward and to attempt to defeat that person who is intruding on their Marriage.

In the meantime Mariatl I sort of spluged on plants for the patio - several greaniums and salvias plus two tomato plants and a couple of parsely plants.

Take care and simply thank you. It is still tough.

By the way, the reason I created a new topic is just because It was important to me, and also that not many responses on that Other site is all.
