A good wife will stick with her husband through all the problems that he would not have had if he hadn't married her.

When others kid me about being bald,
I simply tell them that
The way I figure it,
The good Lord only gave men so many hormones,
And if others want to waste theirs on growing hair,
That's up to them!

-Senator and astronaut John Glenn.

He early on let her know who is the boss.
He looked her right in the eye and clearly said, "You're the boss!"

"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."

-Sydney J. Harris

Where does the family start?
It starts with a young man
Falling in love with a girl
No superior alternative has yet been found!

-Winston Churchil

When the lights are out,
All women are beautiful.

-Murphy's laws for sex


Good luck Paulieg69. I hope you two have a very long and happy marriage & life!

Jake

My lovely bride earns almost as much as myself (good) and she likes to get dirty with me while working on the toys in the garage. I wouldn't trade her for anyone.

Oh yeah! My wife told me she dosen't want me parking in the garage because it is too hard for her to squeeze in next to me. That's OK, at least at this house (just moved two months ago) I have an extra driveway so I don't have to park on the street anymore (next house: three car garage!)

Nah, you should buy a four car garage with a detached house! Just having a three car garage and a house would be ok, but the garage being more important than the house? Now that rules.

If you see one of those grab it, it belonged to a car nut somewhere down the line.

1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.

Can see both below.

My brother's friend has some property. He built a garage, but it was way out back. When asked why he didn't build it nearer the house he said, "So the old lady will leave me alone." It worked.

Strange thing, when I was shopping for a house, nearly every house we looked at happened to have a muscle car in the garage. The one I bought had an early Mustang with a 289. The Mustang got the garage and they both parked outside. I asked them to throw the Mustang in the deal but they said it belonged to a friend. Probably true since this guy works for Chrysler and all his vehicles were Chryslers.

Back to the lighter side of marriage:

A guy is at a bar drinking beer(what did you expect?) and after every glass he reaches for a picture in his wallet, looks at it a few seconds then orders another beer. The bartender finally ask the guy and he replies, "While, it's a picture of my wife and when she starts looking good, I know I better go home."
