    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.

      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!
