You poor darling! I don't understand why you are being subjected to it in the privacy of your own car. Who is persecuting you in this horrible fashion? If you put your own socks away.... Smooch!

I too like the blues -- but New Orleans Jazz is as far as I will go, where jazz/swing/rock is concerned...And even that sort of bores me, these days. Let me tell you a cautionary tale, Chuzzlewit. My late husband detested all American popular music, including the rock music that was what our kids (vainly) wanted to listen to. In his vociferously expressed opinion, rock was "deliberate ugliness". And although he was a pushover (almost said pussycat) in terms of discipline generally, he absolutely forbade the kids to listen to it in the house. I was very happy to let him be the bad guy in this respect, since it spared me the role of bad guy. So what happened after my husband died? My youngest -- the flutist -- became -- oh, horrors! -- a rock bass guitarist. And that is what he is to this day!! Actually, his music is very sophisticated, especially rhythmically. He even has a basement full of all kinds of fancy electronic equipment on which he composes and records whole symphonies of what I would be hard put to call "rock"...Quite mind-stretching, and ear-extending, actually. It suggests to me that true musicians can start anywhere, even with true crap, and work through it to regions far beyond their humble starting-points.... Joan

Why not have two bathrooms? All civilized people have discovered that husband and wives, or their non-married counterparts, do better with separate bathrooms. I would add at least the possiblity of sleeping apart, as well. My husband prefers flannel sheets, I prefer cotton. I go to bed at midnight and get up at 8:00 a.m., on weekends he goes to bed at 4:00 a.m., and gets up at noon. We both snore. Marital harmony is preserved by separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms. I never have the unpleasant experience of sitting down on the icy porcelain rim of the toilet in the dark of night.
