My social/sexual challenges at age 57 can be summed up very simply:

1. I want my husband to be proud of my appearance when we go out to dinner. He always compliments me and I know he especially likes red lipstick so I wear it often.

2. In contrast, when I have to deal with repairmen/contractors in our home, I want them to take seriously that I know what I'm talking about when we discuss what I want them to do because, the truth is, I DO!!! They better not try to put anything over on me or it will be the worst day of the year for them.

3. Due to various reasons, my husband and I have challenges when it comes to maintaining intimacy in our marriage. We work hard at it. The older one gets, the more challenging it becomes.

4. I have a sign above my kitchen sink. It is signed "Jane Earp", as in Wyatt Earp's wife. It says, "I never shot a man while he was doin' dishes." This is my motto.
