I also do the getting him ready before waking him. Lots of times water for bath runned, clothes laid out, food brought to him in bed and sometimes I change out the stuff in his pants. At night I record all of his shows, cut out as many commercials as I can and then have the remote ready for him when he gets in so he can unwind by watching tv.

I don't know what the "stuff" in his pants is but,.... I love you! you sound like a good truck drivers wife. Be assured he appreciates it and if you find that he doesn't.. Dump him!!
I ask my wife on a regular basis if she would rather I change jobs to be home everyday or keep with the linehaul. It has to be a Team effort!!

I did all of this and one night he fussed because I forgot to return a rented money. I'm telling ya, he's SPOILED. I told him he couldn't get a better wife and he said why, I'd shoot her?? Doghouse that day......

Oh and one question: was the rule of 85 ever the rule of 77 or 76 or whatever?[/QUOTE]
Yes it used to be 75 years. (age and years of service = 75 retire.) But alas, that was in the day of Detter (little ಠ▄ಠ) and Palazo... them days are long gone and never to return.

The average age of retirement has gone up past 70 if you ask the economist's.

You sound like Gator's wife, but alas, he never has quit *****ing so he can retire next year and get a haircut and get a real job.....

Gator is from an IN terminal. (it will be a mystery until you ask your husband about the crazyness that used to happen when it was not all work everynight.

But maybe we could ask Jughead, oh but he wouldn't say sh*t if he had a ccx mouthful of it!

Oh and who the hell would iron uniforms? GTFOOH....

You want a suit and tie, go get a real job. Jeez... your a driver not a oh never mind.

Nope, I'm not Gator's wife, hubby isn't going to be able to retire next year and I was almost positive I had read the 75 or whatever rule!

I don't iron the uniforms either, I believe they said Permanent Press?? Ok, I get the stuff for hubby because I'm always having to wash a load of his uniforms. Something about him having just enough clothes to get him by and not to expect any new uniforms for TWO YEARS. Ok, but don't blame me when he has to wear PATCHES on pants and shirts.
