Too funny, I am really lucky to have a husband who falls into the 2nd category.

nolalady -  ME TOO on the lucky part  - after 26 years, my DH is still mostly in the second category and even still has a couple of first category attributes!!  



I do have to admit though, that one or two things have slipped into the third category that matches my age group.
