Terri, what great thinking on your part! You truly went above and beyond the call there, especially considering the stress you must have been under while your dishwasher was broken. Glad the hospital was able to fix her for you.
Kathy ...
Au contraire. It should not wait! It sounds like a little death is an immediate need.
Male forgetfulness can be caused by low blood sugar or stress and can usually be remedied by a good sandwich or a romp in the sheets. Since testing for the specific condition can add more stress, it's best to provide both for your husband... as much and as often as possible.
Another possibility is a subconscious block stemming from the desire to spend some romantic candlelight time with you, as well as recapture the joy of the struggles of youth with you. Coincidentally (and happily), subconscious blocks can almost always be cured with la petite mort and sandwiches. Chances are, the poor fellow needs help now.
