: Vera You're a Very Funny Lady

October 28, 2002

Hello Aussie Ann:

it's kind of funny to see your name, we once had an Aussie Anne on here, but

she left the list not so long ago. If your at all like her, we'll have lot's

of fun around here.

You know I'm lucky , even if Fred did get my key's to the my car, I have a

kill switch on it.If I take that out it won't run at all , even if he has the

keys. In fact my sister in law and I were at the store the other day, and

when we got back into my car ,it wouldn't start. I kept trying and trying ,

but nothing. anyway the kill switch had came out some, I guess I must of

knocked it as I got out of my car, so once I put it back into place the car

started for me.

I know some of the reason's they get upset at things , are just small things

that set them off. The week before last Fred was mad at me just about

everyday ( I did get a brake he got mad at his friend that day) The one day

he got upset with me was because I asked him " What " when he said something

that I couldn't hear. He kept yelling at me What! What! what! that's all you

say. The next day it was because I said the word " Why " . He kept yelling at

me Why! Why ! why! that's all you say. I said yesterday it was " what " now

it's " Why " guess I better stay away from all the words that start with " W " .

I know I'm bad, but sometimes it's hard . I promise I'll smile and try to be

good.

Takecare Vera

Hi Vera,

Thank you once again for the laughter! You're sure that your Fred isn't

related to my Al?? Has he got any Fijian blood in him?

Al's a fun loving half caste Fijian whom I married 24 years ago - however

this

disease isn't funny and it certainly does cause a lot more problems than any

of

us have ever bargined for.

Al has always been a caring kind hearted loving soul - unless of course if

anything should upset him then the smouldering Volcano would erupt!!! At

times

he can be worse than a " pit bull terrier " so set in his ways (that's the

warrior blood in him). But then the softer side of Al shows up again and life

is back to normal for a short while.

He tried once again just a short while ago when he felt everything was too

much

- strange how they take it out on the ones they love so dearly! Anyway this

time he couldn't get the car keys back from me and I was proving to be just

as

tough in a softer way. He thought he had it all planned - " I'm moving out " he

said one evening. " Oh, where are you going " ? I replied. " I'm moving into a

boarding house " he gruffed back at me. " How are you going to get there " I

asked. " I'm getting a taxi (cab) " he snorted back " and you can keep

everything,

but I'm taking one of the bookcases with me " ! he stated.

By now his dander was really up so I was very careful in how and what I said

to

my very distraught husband. We have nine very large 6' x 6' x 1' deep

extremely

heavy book cases in the house. " How are you going to take the bookcase with

you " ? I asked very patiently. " I'll make it fit, but I'm taking it with me

tonight " ! he stormed at me. I then spoke slowly to my husband " anyway they

won't take you in at the boarding house you have to be physically fit and

mobile " - I then quietly retreated.

Next morning my darling husband was back to normal and life has continued. We

can laugh about it now even though we are both puzzled as to how it started

in

the first place.

Vera I can't wait for the " electric wheel chair " ! Thanks for giving me the

tips on how to disengaged the monster!!

Thanks for the laughter - Gidday Fred!

Aussie Ann
