My wife?
As "my husband" and I scanned the numerous postings of this wonderfully intellectual blog, one thing constantly grabbed my attention. I was alarmed by the many uses of the phrase, "my wife" by Merlin. When I refer to my significant other in the terms "my husband," there seems to be somewhat of a underlying condescending tone. So why would Merlin constantly refer to her as "my wife??" We all know her name!!
Hope all is well and good luck with the move!!

GOSH! now we have to call the FBI relocation people again. No, there is no condescending meaning intended. Now, if I used the phrase "my woman," "my squeeze," or "the sqaw;" that would be condescending. It is most excellent that you have joined the blog. Jennifer has discussed blogging, I think that she may get motivated since the numbers are growing.
I prefer the more tender and loving term, "my wench."
