This must have an echo in many households. My mother-in-law has said much the same thing.

My grandparents where Norwegian and the household was fairly European. Grampa handled the money. Grandma made the household work. When they got old, each of them got an Old Age Pension and grampa said to grandma, give me the money, I am the man of the family. Grandma said, "All my life, I have never had any money of my own and now the cheque from the Government of Canada is addressed to me with the cheque made out in my name. This is my money. And she did things with that money that she had been denied from doing for 45 years of marriage. Maybe the billionare above bought the Harley but would not buy the gas. > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the keyword > "igve". > > > _______________________________________________ > Futurework mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework > _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
