    42 years of wedded bliss

    The wife & I just celebrated 42 years of marriage! OMG! Has it been THAT long?

    She said she will probably keep me around a little longer!

    Over half a century here and I'd do it all again. Who would have thought she could put up with me for that long?
    You each keep coming, one day at a time, there's lots of room up here.
    Congrats to every couple.

    Congratulations to you and your lovely wife banger. 42 years is quite an accomplishment!

    This year will be our 44th and like you say, where did the time go? But I got a real "keeper" who is a lovely lady and I wouldn't trade a second of all the fun and years we've had for anything in the world. I just wish we could have 144 years together!

    Been single all of my 56 years. I'm a damned good cook, don't mind doing my own laundry and can sew on a button if need be. I commend those of you that manage to keep a good woman around for 20, 30, 40, 42 or even over 50 years. If you forget how good you have it come bach with me some weekend.

    I know how good I have it. Mrs. smokeywolf is the best dog-gone partner in the whole world. Only been married 18 years, third time was a charm; first one wasn't dependable, second one wasn't sane.

    Congrats banger and congrats to the Mrs. for puttin' up with you.
