Nancy;

I was not aware I ever beat my wife! As a matter of fact that is the most absurd and offensive comment anyone has ever given me. I do not appreciate it in the slightest. You may think it is brilliant but I do not. What is wrong with you? What is YOUR problem?

Have you addressed everyone who is a part of this thread in the same manner?

By the way, my wife is also my best friend. We have been married for over 35 years and help each other in every way possible. So perhaps you are accustomed to a different kind of relationship.

Excuse me if I take this as personal. It is!

Tom
