After 41 years of marriage I am still learning how to do things the proper way.
For instance loading the dishwasher is one of the things I have yet to master. Things can not cover the dishes as to let the water clean them. I have found that getting down on my knees and looking up into the basket I can see if there are any dishes obstructing the water flow on the dish above.
I have learned to check the garbage bag every 30 minuets to be sure someone has not come along and deposited trash to cause it to have an overflow appearance.
I now know to watch the dirty clothes bag to be sure that the clothes that fall out onto the floor are not mine and that they are not contaminating any clean clothes in the vicinity.
I have learned not to question the amount of money we have in the banking account and how to show interest in paying bills.
I am working on how to answer the question of...What would you like me to fix for dinner tonight? Will I ask for too much or insult her by not wanting her to fix anything? You know something along the lines of "Does this dress make me look fat"?
OK I am just shy of learning all there is to know about living correctly. All the years I worked at a job was my excuse for not knowing all these things...but now that I am at home all the time I have no excuse for being in the dark.
God be with me through this learning curve here...

Hi Speedy,
"What would you like me to fix for dinner tonight?"
That is an easy one....get out the oldest thing in the freezer. That ensures that everything will be used up in it's time, and takes all the indecision away!
Happy Trails, Penny
Sounds to me as though "someone" may need a part time J.O.B....too much of a good thing is still TOO MUCH. I have learned over the years (50 in July) to not make myself highly visible, that way one is appreciated more when I am around.
When I first retired a few years go the wife and I would sit at opposite sides of the breakfast table, gently looking at one another..and I could tell exactly what she was thinking..."what can I have for him to do the rest of the day..." I found I liked my "make work" (motorcycles, fishing) much better than her jobs. Works out well.
I just laughed so hard reading this post. Yes, most men make themselves scarce, Pete says I am a horrible Boss! Heheheh...yea, he likes to fish a lot!
