I declare...
04/09/17 at 08:34:13

Been 34 years today my wife made the biggest mistake of her life Grin

But in doing so, she provided me an opportunity to be a husband, father, and in all honesty, showed me what it is to be a man.

Not to default to weakness, excuse, and blame, no, but to acknowledge my shortcomings and then tackle them.
It is not in proving, but in overcoming.

The BIGGEST thing she taught me is streadfast commitment to a pledge.
It's easy to exhibit joy and happiness when all is right in my eyes, it's another thing all together to hold fast in a storm and stay to course instead of seeking temporary shelter that will forever alter the promise you made to all who entrusted you to the destination.....

I share this guys, for if I can, you can, if you are willing to toss some of our chauvinistic ideas overboard Grin

We don't have to pretend to be strong, will only need to be real.

PS: and yes, my lil' dinghy can occasionally still find the port o' call Grin

Congrats, Ray !!

My Mama Bear & I started dating in '62 and going strong today.
I attribute it to 3 things:
1) Neither of us walked away.
2) I attended my first AA meeting in '89
3) I attended my latest one this morning Wink

Yes, 2 ships still continue to "collide in the night" Wink

Heading out on The Fox (my fox orange S40) for a nice cruise after lunch.
It's going to about 70F here in the Great Lakes region today. Cool

Your brainwashed trapped in 34 + year science experiment to break a mans will , reduce him into a blubbering idiot , seen this before I know all about ! Next your going to tell me , but the food is so good ! It's in the food. I'm not sure if I can help , you may be too far gone ! My advice is refuse to take out the garbage and start pissing on all the toilet seats in the house , remember it's in the food !!!

You blow dude, 70 here means 70 percent chance of rain Angry

However, today is 50 sumtin, and I am weeding and planting under dry but nippy conditions.
Oh the toil will be rewarded in a few short weeks when all the beauty bounds out under sunny skies.....
As I tool about on my savage with a basket of fresh cut flowers hanging where my headlight goes, and the wind rips through my fishnet speedos as I sit in her saddle Kiss
