Friday Fun....You know the Romance is Fading, When...

This has been a week of sad, serious, shocking, & strange news items.

So in the interest of lightening-up the atmosphere...
I ask you:
...how do you determine when the decline of romance begins;
...how do you determine which one in the couple is at fault;
...how do you determine what steps to take to re-energize the relationship;
...how do you determine who / whom will take that first tentative step:
...how do you determine where it is best to handle the situation ? ? ? ? ?

Well, let me enlighten you:
We have a great table in our Kitchen;
...can you see the leg on the left;
...can you see the 2 chairs;
...can you see the possible positioning of the 2 persons at that table;
[his view will let you see the Base of said table; under the chair]
...can you see that conservations have:

disintegrated into verbal sparring if:
...your feet  are on my side
...na-a-a, you have yours reaching all the way over to my side;
...all I did was try to change position here;
...Barb, your feet are always spread out & then you claim that I [ SAL] hog the space under the table.
...O.K., I am finding a piece of wood, which I will place under this table & we'll see whose feet knock it over ;
...No, I will locate a piece of cardboard and place IT under this table.  {no guts, no glory I [Barb] say];

As of today, at 4:09 p.m. neither of us havepositioned our choices
Mine = wood
Sal's = cardboard

Perhaps, one day around here we will discover just whose feet ARE hogging it;
I threatened to bring back the glass-topped table, which was removed when we saw all the faces of our pets sitting  under the dining table & watching:
EACH and EVERY bite we took.

Problem is more than likely solved;
for the moment;

In the meantime,
I do have the wood shelf all lined up
Don't know if Sal has found his cardboard.

We have the 30 second rule around here anyway;
if one says something & the other cannot come back with an answer [smart-Alec retort] within 30 seconds,
THEN the other one wins;
This can be translated for this situation as follows:
If one cannot locate the barrier / or border item within 30 hours;
Then, the other one has WON.

I have my wood shelf;
I see no cardboard;
I WIN.

Hope that you get as good of a laugh from this as we continue to so do.
