Aside from the belly-crunching, sounds like my father-in-law. But only
if you ask or make a comment. (Such as, "How many pills do you take
each *day*?" as he's refilling his pill minder for the week.) And he
*will* talk about how far he walked that day over dinner, if anyone else
brings up the subject, but he has more to say on the houses he passed
than anything else.
I did some quick mental calculating, and I spend more on hair care
products than Dan does, but that's because I use shampoo & conditioner
from Whole Foods, while his can be gotten reasonably cheaply from HEB
(which is the low-price grocery chain around here, and where we do most
of our grocery shopping). The elastic bands for ponytails or braids are
held in common at this point, so those don't matter. (We like the
"Ouchless" line from Goody for those.) Although occasionally I *do* buy
a pretty barrette for my hair, and Dan never does for his. :)
