for 23 years as of yesterday. I know that few people care, but darn it with todays divorce rate I’m pretty darn amazed at, and kind of proud the LIONsob and myself. Oh and if you happen to see this when you wake up hioney I love you, and I am thankful everyday that I am your wife (even when I’m POed enough to choke you). That’s all people nothing more to see here. Move along. ---

It’s always wonderful to hear about couples who have been able to stick together and make it work; gives some of the rest of us hope.

The LIONsob and I both thank you all for your good wishes. Now from the bottom up, just because I’m in a bottom up mood. \*\* rocking chair \*\* , Thanks and yes, make no mistake the give and take is hard work at times, but it is well worth it. \*\* Dylan \*\*, You baaad girl ! His hair is fine, I’m still brushing and braiding it daily. Little does he know that I am doing that so that in a year or two I can whack it off one night while he is sleeping and have myself a nice wig made of it (his hair , you pervs). \*\* Geobabe \*\* Thank you. Our secret is that we are both determined to win the _I can take it as long as you can_ game. 😉 \*\* JimB \*\* Honey you must be joking ! Remember I have seen you and no man who looks good as you do, with eyes as beautiful as yours can have been married that long. No matter how many times it took. \*\* heembo \*\* Thanks and remember be kind to your liver, drink iron fortified beer. \*\* Demo \*\* Thank you, and I hope to one day being able to give you and a certian lady these same wishes. Oh and hioney likes his new name. \*\* Ms.Robyn \*\* Thank you very much. \*\* DRY \*\* , Thank you and don’t give up there will be someone who comes along oneday who will be the one. \*\* Astroboy \*\* Thanks and I hope you do reach this point. As long as you are both commited to making it work it can. But it does take two (free advice::never stop wooing her:: ). \*\* Scotticher \*\* Thanks. ---
