When I am all set for a wonderful day of quilting, my DH comes wandering into my sewing room with plans he's made for me!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! What am I ever going to do when he retires!!!!!!

I went in for my physical and was telling the Dr. that I was anxious because my DH was retiring. We have gone to this same Dr. for about 25 yrs. so he knows us both well. Anyway, I told dear Dr. that DH was going to drive me crazy and this is the advice the Dr. gave me: "Find the jobs you hate the most; smile sweetly and ask him to do them". So, when DH retired, I said, "Honey, you know how I hate shopping and I know you like to shop so I was wondering if you would like to take over the grocery shopping". He agreed so quickly that I had to tell him where the suggestion came from. Then he said "what else do you hate to do" and I told him that I didn't like to vacuum the furniture and now he does that too! Try it--it might work for you too!!

Been there, done that!! Make sure that he has something of his own to do before he retires! I insisted that my DH do SOMETHING, and he chose golf.
I married him for better or for worse....not for LUNCH!

Here's one...when you end up with tons of sewing machine feet from several machines but you don't remember what goes to what...I have like 75 feet right now from 4 machines and I can't figure out where they belong. I guess it's good that they seem to interchange with one another.

Dara, I have three Berninas and the feet are NOT interchangeable! GRRRRRR.....
I keep them in separate boxes along with the instructions that came with the feet so that I know how to use them!
