When he finally begs for my assistance, I walk right over and pluck the missing item that is right in front of his eyes.

Thank you for this opportunity. Second, I LOVE your anecdote about your husband. Dang, if that species doesn't listen intently to what we say. It happens to me all the time. [But of course, I'm going to deny that should my husband borrow my computer.] Husbands don't look very well when they are searching for something they want either. And if I give direction, depending upon his mood, I can be in a lot of trouble.

And other things he could hear through locked doors in a thunderstorm.

They were nothing like Erma, at all. When Donna V won a couple of years ago, though....hers was like Erma! Oh well...it all goes by who the judges are.
