Wow. My husband and I just celebrated our 11th, which I thought was pretty impressive. Congratulations! 3 more and I’m going to have to convince the cheapskates around here to part with some cash so we can send you one of those nifty engraved silver platters… ---

Thank you all so much ! Nah, Sealemon , I learned years ago to torture my victims very slowly, they last much longer that way. 😉 I think he has a few more years left in him. 😛 Sue, oh yeah real exiciting ! He’s asleep in the recliner, I’m on the computer. Hot Dog ! 😉 We will celebrate when we go to Hou-dope. I will have to remember to kick a certian little sea lemon while we are there 😛 PunditLisa, ok you do that, then just slip me the cash ok ? 😛 Gee Ultress, and here I thought (ok, hoped) you liked me. 😉 ---

Congrats and Best Wishes you two. From another long-lived couple, the Plutos. Our secret to success has been a clear division of responsibilities. I get to make the big decisions, Mrs. Pluto gets to make the small decisions. We haven’t had any big decisions yet. ---
