dont get married

[windthrown]

This is true. Factoring in CAD really kicks up the AS hourly therapy rate, doesn't it?

Stihl cheaper than therapy + living with evil...

I beleive part of our success is that we have some common ground, but both of us have quite a few things that we do that the other isn't really interested in.

I fully respect the things she likes to do, and if I end up at a wine tasting, which I don't care all that much about, I make the best of it.


Basically, it's about give and take, having your own time and space, and making the best of the times you are together.

I don't think there is any single human being that you are going to have complete 100 percent compatability with. I also believe that some women are a LOT better than others.

I've watched just about every single one of my friends from high school get married and divorced, some multiple times, and they always seem to have troubled relationships. Marraige isn't easy, it just doesn't happen, you have to work at it like anything else. Women require constant maintenence, and if you don't do it, rest assured someone else is going to do it for you!.....Cliff

It's taken years to climb the mountain and not be Sisyphus. This is wisdom.

Yes. Been there, done that.
Single 14 years. Remarried last Feb to a good one. We are way different people at this point in our lives and know what worked and didn't work before in prev marriages. Commitment, and giving 100%, without being clones of each other or choking each other's interests.

361 is medicinal, but does it also improve relationships?

Geez rb! I hope you can keep her in that mode. Good for you.

We're going to rent a canoe tomorrow and have a little picnic on the lake. I'm looking forward to it!

Marriage needs to be a 10-year renewable contract.

I think that is part of the problem with marriage in this country. People take it too lightly, and too easily give themselves the out of divorice instead of working through problems. As for me and my wife, we took a solemn oath before friends, family, and God. That is a vow I take seriously, and it saddens me that so many do not hold the institution in high regard anymore. It's not easy, your spouse will not "complete you", and if we spend half as much time working on our relationships as we do our hobbies we'll have great marriages. For the most part anyway. I know there are exceptions.

Yeah, it's just too bad I can't take the Asti that I got for Valentine's day! They don't allow it at the lake I'm going to. But it's well chilled by now!

Change the container. Beer for instance looks right at home in an apple juice jug. Got to be creative in these situations.

Most creative I ever got in this area was back in the seventies. Re-routed the windshield washer hose into the passenger compartment. Filled the fluid reservoir with Jack Daniels or whatever. Anybody want to do shots? I'm glad I'm alive to tell stories like that.

You, sir, are a genius!

I haven't been that creative, but I did get away with saying my Jack Daniels was iced tea on more than one occasion.

Also what you can do. I've seen them before, its a magnet that wraps around a beer can and makes it look like a can of Coke!! They fit perfect!!

I have never seen that but I do have a cozy that has magnets on it so when you get out to take a p*** you can stick it to the side of the pickup!

An UNUSED colonastopy bag on your side with a jumbo batch of Mudslides, ain't no gate keeper gets paid enough to check that.
Still scared from all these honey horror stories a few pages back, have a nieghbor that metioned that getting his hair cut for free has cost him thousands.

After 29 years this one stacks. I think it's called team work.

Been away from AS for a week as we were bringing our boy Matt home from college following his graduation. He's our youngest, so in theory we're done with child rearing now--assuming he gets a job soon, of course. After 33 years of marriage, life could not possibly be any better. Matt made a fantastic dinner last night for us, his sister and our SIL and it was all simply perfect.

Honestly guys, there aren't enough toys in the world to match up with the satisfaction I was feeling last night. And my wife works her tail off to help us provide the basics and then some for our family--always has--so I am certainly not lacking for toys.

Find a good woman, commit to the teamwork a good marriage requires and in the end it's a beautiful thing. I am one lucky guy, truly blessed...
