| | 47th anniversary today is my first wife and my 47th anniversary. my how time fly's. someone once said .... the fastest time on any trip is with a friend ... this trip was fast.......for you guys.... I want to tell you how to save a lot of money on anniversary and Birthday cards etc. I take my wife into a real card shop ( expensive kind..halmark type ..because I'm not cheap ) She goes around looking at all the nick naks and I look for a card, I take my time read most of them until I find the very special one........then I call my wife over and tell her.....Hon If i was going to buy you a card This is the one I would buy you.........she reads it .....then I put back on the rack and we walk out. .........I have saved a bunch of money. lol

| | Re: 47th anniversary Oh Jim! You really do walk a fine line.....I know what you mean when you say the time went fast. Congratulations on 47 years. I think that puts you and your wife in top 2% of lengthy marriages. I 'm one year behind you. I think I found the secret to a long and happy marriage. A very simple agreement between wife and me....It's my job to earn the money and her job to spend the money.....Again, congratulations.....there'll be many more, I am sure.. Tom H |

When I tried the card thing, the last thing she said was ....... cute! I saw her two days later, after the swelling went down in my left eye, not for three out of the right one!
