I alternate between "dear husband" and "damn husband" depending on my mood....
Actually, I shouldn't technically be using the dh term anymore anyways, since I am no longer married and I'm living with my new love but I just can't bring myself to refer to him as my "boyfriend" at the age of 46... "Partner" sounds so "legal"... Maybe I should call him Erik???

Only if that's his name.
Ah, what the heck - we can just pretend his name's Erik anyway.

I suppose we could all call our Others Erik or Erika, depending. Could get confusing, though.
BTW, when I say DH I'm not always thinking either Dear or Husband, depending on my mood. I can get quite creative, but I'll let you fill in the blanks, spelling optional.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

My husband is a ham radio operator, and they call their wives XYLs.
X-Young-Ladies.
Yes, I think that's grounds for a divorce.
Back to snacks!
I'm going to buy some of those snack size baggies today and want to cut some bars into bite size pieces. I like the Peanut Butter Balance Bars (I don't think they would melt or get gooey -- not sure, though -- they don't have a chocolate coating).
Paydays ought to work.
What other bars would do well in pieces without crumbling to bits or melting?

If you will refer to page two, I did warn about the thread drift... I'm just sayin'.

Referring to snacks on the bike, if it's 40 miles or less, a cliff bar or gu or two will do. More than that requires fig newtons as well. And I always have something within 15 minutes after I'm finished riding--another cliff bar or smoothie usually. Can't hardly choke down a banana in the heat. Ick!
Referring to what I call my SO---it depends on whether he waits on me or never looks back after he takes off on his 26 mph testerone rides. I've called him many different names.
