    My SO and I have been together for some time and she's been giving subtle hints lately about tying the knot. So I'm pretty dumb you gotta hit me over the head and straight out tell me what you want, and she hasn't. So the other day I said to her: "You remember that jewelry store where you had your earrings reset?" She got all excited and responded: "Yes" I said: "There's a hardware store next door would you pick up a box of nails on your way home?" Now she's madder than hell and that's how the the started.

            She has Alzheimer's so I only have to disappear for a short time. Good thing though because she is also OCD, so she cleans like crazy but forgets why. :) Just kidding about the about the Alzheimer's, Don't need a coat because it's hotter than hell but I do know the way out.

                Long ago I asked a friend of mine, who had been married for many years what his secret was. "Choose your fights" Works for me, at least with the lady I have now. She's a gem!

                                      I read about the difference in meaning between "completed" and "finished" yesterday. Marry the right woman, you're completed. Marry the wrong one... You're finished!

Charlie: 37 Everyone roars with laughter Jim: 22 Again everyone roars with laughter This goes for many nights and one night the new guys decides to give it a try. New guy: 16 Not as peep. Next day he asks his buddy: "What did I do wrong" Answer: Timing

                                        One of my favourites, that one. Haven't heard this punchline before and I like it. :thumbsup: I'm familiar with "It's not the joke buddy, it's how ya tell it"

                                          Probably the oldest, in fact. ;)

                                          Will Rogers never met me.

                                          Not likely. Married 63 years here. First 60 were the hardest!

                                          >64 It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
