    No title because the body will be difficult enough to be civil. Husbands \%\=&3@%$%@!!!!! Job

    Our 35 anniversary and we took 1 day for us to enjoy .. They called every 45 mins with questions ,issues blah,blah,blah. Our 40th is this year and he'll still be on these 3 jobs. I'm not planning any celebration.
    Today he has suffered since Friday with an impacted wisdom tooth waiting to get into surgery. All the while going to work. We drove 1 1/2 hrs and they called him 6 times. We got half way home and called ,home 5 more freaking times!

    State jobs they can stick them right up......

    I know easy to say but you don't have to answer. I am lucky that when I am at home, cell coverage is sketchy, can't always get ahold of me.:biggrin:

    Unfortunately due to having to baby sit EVERYONE, he can't. It's construction and different schools!s in a district. Subcontractors , school officials, project managers. Certain mistakes can't be undone easily and man if some can fiscally fudge or pass along they will in a millisecond.

    People often refer to their spouse as their "better half."

    I say that my wife is definitely my better 98%!


    I'd give her the full 100% except she married me, so she has to lose some points for that!

    My wife and I will be married 28 years the end of September. For us divorce is out of the question, who ever lives the longest gets it all.

    That love at first sight thing. We met and talked and the night club I was managing. It was my day off so I was on the other side of the bar. He bought me a drink and we talked a long while then I went about my business. Then we met at a wedding and his drive left. So I drove him home. It was late so We went to my apartment where my room mate was. I slept on a pull out couch . Well he tried to make a move and I said no. Next morning he apologized and went home. Called me later and 3 mos later we got married. His friend told me the first bar meeting a year before that wedding, he said he'd marry me one day. BTW our oldest is 36......lol

    OMG one wild thing after another, my mind is going to explode if I read one more absurd crazy thing!

    Today NYODN hunting paper.
    First the DEC is tightening the deer and moose feeding regulations. Then comes this little gem.
    " As of the end of June, ECO's are not allowed to patrol a huge swath of NYS. Almost all of the state lands are off limits to ECO's. Under the new restrictions the ECO' can only proactively patrol privately owned lands and a few camp grounds. " This came from the DEC commissioner.

    This move has to do with pay scale between Forrest Rangers and ECO's and to circumvent a civil service law. Pretty big article.

    Happy 40th OND! May you get another 20, 30, or 40 happy years together .
    My wife and I celebrated our 40th in June. The crap she’s gone through married to me should earn her Sainthood.
