Loue is staying home with sick wife
You have no idea how tempted I your partner isn't with you. This
was to just launch into an article on could be while you are watching a
herd of graceful deer in the sunset
and you're longing to share it — or if
you have a flat tire in the wee hours
of the morning while it's teeming
from above. Sharing is love.
To those who can recognize the
emotion that makes life rich and
rewarding, you get the added bonus
of romance.
Super Wrench would never allow
himself to run with the rest of the
pack down the road of romance
covered with overpriced roses and
fattening chocolates. His gestures of
adoration have become classic
memories. The year of the shaft, the
golf clubs and the shovel. The year of
"I forgot", the year of "every store
was closed" and the year of, "I got
you pregnant what more do you
want?" His romance perception is
still a work in progress, but he has
such potential. What more can a
woman ask for?0

the different ways one can use snow.
I was cut off at the pass by a faithful
reader who called to discuss a
previous column and mentioned she
was looking
forward to my
yearly
"romantic'.
piece. There's a
lot of things that
can be attributed
to snow, but
romance isn't
one of them.
Romance
should never be
mistaken for
love. The two
don't always
seem to come
hand in hand.
Romance is that f rst flush of desire
that can quickly lead to the altar and
just as quickly to the dumpster. Most
of us would prefer to recycle our
partner on a continuous basis with
improvements along the way. That's
where love comes in.
You know you're in love when
you cover up a scream with a smile.
Your man comes home with a brand
spanking new red pickup truck and
pride is leaking out of his pores. You
don't have the heart to burst his
bubble by reminding him the mice
are using the living room carpet for
nest liners. He'll come down from
somewhere up there as soon as the
payment schedule arrives from the
bank.
Love comes shining through when
you make sacrifices. What can be
more endearing than a man who
gives up a night with the boys to stay
home with an ill wife? She's not
pretty to look at with flu pallor,
diarrhea, sunken eyes and sweat
soaked tresses, but he thinks she's
beautiful. He frequently calls out to
see if she needs anything as she's
lurching from bed to bathroom and
will actually get up from in front of
the television if he hears her fall. A
man like that should be treasured.
You're in love if you get lonely if
