  • How things work

    Well, it's not a mid-life crisis, but here's how things seem to work out:

    Married 35 years, took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey, 35 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10- inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year old blond. Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 60-year old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."


    My wife is a very reasonable woman

    She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year old blond and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed....

    My wife and I have been married 7 years tomorrow(the 16th),I let her read this and she agreed with it 100%.However she is only 36 right now and I am 32, but she has been holding her age much better then me because she is still a pretty damn hot looking little blonde and I have blossomed quite a bit through the belt since we got married.LOL It's a good thing she loves the hell out of me plus she likes airplanes and flying too.I hope she's dumb enough to put up with me another 50 or 60 years because I really like having her around....unlike the first 2.

      My hot little brunette and I will have been married 64 years ago tomorrow. (Got married while on a 24 hour pass from the Air Force, just before I shipped overseas.) Still as happy as ever.

        Tomorrow(the 18th) is our 25th aniversery & my wifes birthday. I married her on her birthday & had two boys on the same day two years apart. I don't have a lot of dates to remember. Probably a good thing.

          I thankfully don't have an Ex wife (32 years of marriage). But thought that this fit in with Karl's thread...

          --------------------------------------------

          Some of you may know my ex-wife, Mary. She had started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started (1990) and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year. Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Wisconsin because of bad weather. Some could call it a crash; an accident at the least. Our kids were with me at the cabin up north this weekend.
          National Transportation Safety Board officials have issued a preliminary determination citing pilot error contributed to the accident, and Mary was flying a single engine aircraft (a basic model, at best) in IFR conditions while only having obtained a VFR rating.

          The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.

          This photograph taken at the scene shows the extent of damage to her aircraft.

          She was very lucky.

            I always tell people I married my trophy wife the first time, so I don't need to shop for a newer model.......besides, although marriage is grand, divorce is a hundred grand.

              I think your 1st wife and my 1st wife went to the same flight school,only mine was kicked out on the 2nd day for being over experienced.

                      I've gotta brag on my wonderful sweetheart. We have only been married 3 years... blended our families.... 6 kids 9th grade on down. And she still let me borrow against my 401K to buy the Tcraft!!! She is an awesome woman... and on top of that.... her Dad bought a Tcraft too!!!

                        John,

                        From my memory, it looks like Marriage is treating your middle fairly well!!


                        I'm going on 15 years, and she still lets me get away with way too much!! She actually found our Tcraft!
