Dear Bored and Desperate,
your wife sounds impressive and formidable, therefore I would be interested in what some of your EAS's are, as this could be a useful resource for me and other members here.
However, maybe your wife has misunderstood your I-DEAS and you should point out to her that
really they are:
I nteresting
D evoted (and/or Dutiful)
E mapathic (to her every need)
A morous (but only when appropriate, because you are also Sensitive) and
S #@*.....................
One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
