How long have you been with Your Significant Other?
« on: November 18, 2019, 11:47:21 pm »
   I've been with the same crazy women for 16 years, fortunately we don't live together, she lives in a Ford Explorer somewhere in the Texas Hill Country, wherever her Spirit(s) take her.  I've got her down to Bi-Monthly visits, same as my Humana Nurse, Life is Good.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Celebrating 37 years this December.  3 children, 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and out of all of those we see one of our kids on a regular basis and one grandchild occasionally.  Life can sure kick you in the pants. Sad.  Oh, and we have a furry child that is way too smart for his own good...lol

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Formally, as in married, 52 years as of last March 2nd.  Couple of years before that actual.

44 years and counting.  We met when we were 18 and both freshmen in college.  Two kids, one dog, no grandkids.

I met my wife at work we were both eighteen and the first date I took her on I told her I was going to put a ring on her finger, that was 44 years ago. Oh yeah we got married 6 months after that date.

30 years or so... told her I love her just a few minutes ago... I think she returned the compliment (not sure, my hearing ain't what it used to be, she may be cursing me)... So I blame my long marriage on my lack of hearing.

I decided when I was a teenager that I was too irresponsible to be a good wife and mother, so no marriage for me.  But I have had cats as long as 16 years.  Those relationships were often far better than any I've ever had with a guy, but they never lasted long enough. 

Anyway, for those of you who have been with the same guy or gal for a long time through thick and thin, I say, "congratulations, God bless you and may He grant you many more years together."

Well, I'm feeling less ancient. Mrs. PeteS in CA and I are approaching 40 years' marriage.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
