Guerrilla shopping trips for his things, on sale.<br /><br />Mother has suggested I use her friend's technique when the husband complains. Buy cans of the cheapest, nastiest food possible. Open them, put them on the table --"Dinner's served." Walk away, saying, "You complained about the bills and I am responding to that. Enjoy!"Glimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085124664342701611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-24132131152085731162010-03-15T19:50:41.694-04:002010-03-15T19:50:41.694-04:00DTG- He did not chuckle.

We were living very low on the old hog at that point, but it is incredible how much the cost of staples, the food basics we need to just get by, has risen in the last 30 years, especially in relation to "middle class" income.<br /><br />So glad the love continues to shine through for you and Mr Moon. That feeling of working side by side with someone who respects your contribution is so good and love is the whipped cream on the top of that Sunday.<br /><br />x0 N2N2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09508740809219902631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-81440552629604891772010-03-14T15:45:28.078-04:002010-03-14T15:45:28.078-04:00Your honesty shines through your writing and your ...Your honesty shines through your writing and your marriage. And I hear you about the grocery bills. I had to go shopping last week for my mother, who has early stage dementia. She gave me a long list of groceries to buy, and $14.

So just like birds we do this too...from time to time..it is the nature of care...we can't always be simpatico! <br /><br />You said you have been married 25 years...well..that is growth too. All that we put into our marriage has to shift from time to time, adjust, wiggle around and then spoon and cuddle up..yep...that is the yin and yang...<br /><br />PS...I too hate to ask for more money...but hey it's that or we will be eating beans...3x a day...and I do say that to my Love with a laugh...and he laughs sometimes too and the son he hates beans so he is like give the money Dad!...hahahaha! And I am frugal too...that is why I try to do most of the grocery shopping because otherwise my Love comes home with all sorts of odd items.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912709342270151365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-34279124998043412682010-03-14T14:38:53.567-04:002010-03-14T14:38:53.567-04:00i like this, love the honesty and working out as y...i like this, love the honesty and working out as you go.<br />especially since i spent the morning crying and fighting with an ex partner, both of us forgetting the love and only holding on the the anger and hurt and well, mostly the scared.<br />thanks for spending time here today.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510823788662848522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-91945389988790600542010-03-14T13:37:39.844-04:002010-03-14T13:37:39.844-04:00Sigh.
