29 yrs. last weekend, still learning what makes it tick.



Yes Dear in a lowered head monotone voice can't hurt too much.

I do LIKE it burned, just like this one thanks!

It really didn't cost as much as you think, we can use it to help FILL IN THE BLANK HERE, example: the 4 Wheeler can help me mow grass faster!

Nope, you look just fine to me.

Nope, that HoneyDo list ain't toooooooooo long, no problem.



My Family still tells the story of how I paid a neighbor girl a Buck to change a #2 diaper on one of my yunguns.



Now, TDR Team which one is taking the plunge?



Best Wishes.

Marriage seems to be one of those crops where you will only reap what you sow.

My wife and I are in our first year of marriage, and, we were together 8 and a half years before getting hitched; which was good as we both had a lot of growing to do those first few years since we met as seniors in highschool. Money for us is so thin these days (I think this is pretty much status quo for most newly married couples) we joke that we can see right through it. However, we don't worry about who makes more money one month to the next and always consider whatever we earn to go into OUR collective earnings. As a result, our small earnings are never catalyst to any sort of disagreement between us but rather work to bring us closer together as equal partners in this marriage. Some months we have some interesting decisions to make to be sure that we can pay the bills and still buy groceries, and the great thing with marriage is that you're never in it alone.



In addition to those financial thoughts, I strongly agree with the list of 4 essentials for a successful marriage that RRam posted.

On the 14th we will be celebrating our 24th anniversary!



The four essentials that make for a successful marriage.



1. Communication



2. Respect



3. Honesty



4. Friendship

Congrats and remember to have some fun

Hey Congratulations to you all! Iv'e been married for 28 years. My advice... always a kiss goodbye, never go to bed mad, always find a way to laugh about anything... and most importantly. . (for the guys). . NEVER P**S off a woman that knows how to run a backhoe!! (Remember that famous email pick of the guys truck surrounded by a moat of muddy water?):-laf

Successful Marriage Advice

Always remember that you are on the same side. Differences, yes. . but at the end of the day. . the same side!

 

[wcaldwell]

After 22 years:

1. Be honest with each other.

2. Don't complain to your mother about her (or anyone else, for that matter).

3. Don't make major purchases without talking about them and agreeing on them (that line about getting forgiveness is easier than getting permission is a bunch of crap).

4. Don't take her for granted.

5. Help her around the house (even after you've had a hard day at work - she probably has had that hard day also either at a job or at home with the kids).

6. Keep your intimate (sexy) thoughts on her - totally turn off the porn crap (including the magazines).

7. Be sure to compliment her any time you can - and not just when you're wanting something.

8. Treat her like a lady.

9. Don't belittle, embarrass, demean, or put her down.

10. Simply put - treat her with the same respect you would like to have from her.

11. Like someone else said, walk along (or even when driving) hold her hand - it lets her know you think she's special.

12. Always kiss her goodnight - always.

13. Pray together and keep God in your home and seek His guidance.

Wife 1.0

Dear Tech Support:



Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7. 0 to Wife 1. 0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.



In addition, Wife 1. 0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10. 3, Football 5. 0 , Hunting and Fishing 7. 5 , and Golfing 3. 6.



I can't seem to keep Wife 1. 0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7. 0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1. 0 .



Please help!

Thanks,

Dear Troubled User:



This is a very common problem that men complain about.



Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7. 0 to Wife 1. 0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1. 0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING !!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1. 0 and to return to Girlfriend 7. 0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.



You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7. 0 because Wife 1. 0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1. 0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/ Child Support . I recommend that you keep Wife 1. 0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application 'Yes Dear' to alleviate software augmentation.



The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE! because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.



Wife 1. 0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance . Wife 1. 0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3. 0 , Cook It 1. 5 and Do Bills 4. 2 .



However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9. 5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1. 0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2. 1 and Diamonds 5. 0 !



WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3. 3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1. 0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!



Best of luck,



Tech

These three things are the foundation for a solid relationship. Both parties involvoed have to have them, or you might as well forget it. Good luck to you all!

Big Rocks...

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz," and he pulled out a one-gallon Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full? "Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes. " The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of the gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?" "No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good. " Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration? One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!" "No," the speaker replied, "That's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is, " If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life -- time with your loved ones, your faith, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, your friends, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these big rocks in first or you'll never get them in at all. " So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the big rocks in my life? Then, put those in first.

Its all my fault baby and I am sorry.

 

[RPosey]

Give her freedom to do the things that she may want to do by herself. Everyone needs a little space, try it, you may want to do something by yourself sometimes. Trust her, don't be jealous.

 

[LMeyer]

If she offers to help you shave with a straight razor, respectfully decline.

 

[fest3er]

If she offers to help you shave with a straight razor, respectfully decline.

And immediately apologize for the wrong you done and make up for it in spades.

 

[Brian Sullivan]

Don't let her eat the wedding cake

Rule of happy marriage!

What my wife keeps reminding me is:



What is mine is HERS, and what is hers is HERS!



This comes into play every time I say, "Hey, that is/was mine!" (talking about a drink, snack or whatever) to which she replies, "Honey, we have been through this before,"... and then she repeats it back to me.



Congratulations!

I married my high school sweetheart 19 years ago. After we dated for 7 years, so we've been together for 26 years. My advise is to adore her and be her best friend. Support her emotionally and she will support your diesel addiction!!
