sad part is Grandma passed last Sat and Funeral is Thurs at 10 am and I wont be able to be down there in SoCal so I know mom and pops really wont be in a real happy mood and I'm bummed just thinking about it.

but hea on a good note Grandma was 96 and still got around real good and had her wits about her. So we all should be that lucky.

I did get to go down there about a month or so ago and spent some time with her, so real glad I got to see her.

so I think I'll have a drink on Thursday for grandma, hell everyone have a drink on Thursday for grandma. she would dig it.


Sorry to hear about that Ed. I will tip one for you and grandma!

Hmm.

I've got this Friday off from school so I think the PSD might get a little TLC.

I've got to find a decent deal on 5w-40 Rotella Syn though.

Either way it's getting a new fuel filter. I already have one of them in hand. Then I'll put a new needle valve in that Husqvarna snowblower and that'll be good to go.

We're working 4-10's this week, but my weekend is already booked - maybe one minor fuel upgrade on the truck, and the remainder of the time to be spent setting up an online bookstore so we can purge (ahem... sell) several hundred books from our attic and bookcases.

I thought the same thing until every single person I know is divorced and I was the veteran of the bunch. There isn't a single person I've meet that is married after 15 years to the same person (under 50). Some didn't make it a year and 75% were under 5 years.

Some are on the 2nd and 3rd wifes and they say the same thing, best day of their lifes was the day before they got married.


I don't know anymore, I'm going to have to do a lot on hands on research in the near future to validate my concerns. lots and lots of research.

Ed, sorry to hear about your grandma. I actually lost my grandpa Larry about a week and a half ago. Still not sure how to feel about it.

See Ed...some women don't enjoy sex. Some women only put up with sex to get the man they love to marry them...and then it all stops.

Some women really enjoy sex...

Well now you can sit back and relax. No cooking.

You and I have never met, Ed, but my wife and I will be celebrating our 23rd anniversary to each other this August. Neither of us were ever married before to anyone else, and we've been fortunate to have 6 children together... no adoptions... and again, no children for either of us before we were married. I'm 47-1/2, and she's nearing 46.

It does happen.
