Prerequisite For a Tranquil Marriage

Two TVs required

     One for him to eyeball sports

          Hers for home shopping

I'm not so sure that this is a prerequisite as much as it might be the key to a happier day. Interesting point, Robert. I'll have to mull this one over a bit. Congrats on your win in the contest. Dan C.

Now this is really to the point, Bob. We had two for a while but when Billy lost his leg and had problems healing I made him move upstairs. I then would go to the computer and work on my columns or novels and share the emails with him. It worked out pretty good. They were in the same room too. God Bless, Cile
