i am so very sorry for your loss. i can't say that i know how that feels. i just can't imagine the empty hole feeling. i hope you do have family and friends nearby to help you out when needed. we are here too if you ever need us or heck even if you don't need us, we are here.

my hubby has said on many occassions that he wants to be the first to go. he says he would fall apart without me, he calls me the glue. he has no worries in the world right now, he doesn't even see mail anymore. all he has to do is go to work and come home. when he comes home he snacks on junk food, then i bring him his dinner as he watches the boop tube. he gets to play out back with all his toys (yes he does have some) and he gets to think (as you say) that he makes decisons on other matters. but we all do know who runs this house. :lol: i keep every organized and keep it all going some what smoothly, hubby wouldn't even know where to start on paying the bills.
when he does go to the store and sees how expensive food is now, he tries not to complain when there is no money left in the acct for fun stuff. the other day he went for some hot sauce in the fridge, it was right there on the front self, no looking needed, it was the first thing you see when you open the door. but do you think he found it? no, he did not. so i had to go and get it for him. but when i did see where it was i just closed the door. :lol:

men are a totally different species. LOL but i wouldn't want to be without them.

I don't want to wander to far off the path my sister-in-law is very sick been in the hospital several times in the last couple years.
My brother sounds like your husband when it comes to bills and payments he had a steep learning curve when he had to do the shopping and bill paying.
He turns 72 today 1-11-12

now back to foamies..........

Hey louella I asked in the foamworks thread but can you give a cost of your TB2 and canvas for your camper? Trying to get a realistic cost on it and see how the foamcoat and other coverings actually fare against each other pricewise.
