That's the day, 10 um, 11 years ago, when SWWBO finally lost her mind. Happy Anniversary, sweetie. *But it only *seems* like ten, yeah, that's it, that's even better!

I am insanely jealous, you unbelievably lucky son-of-mother-lover... :)

God bless both of you.

Blast. All the hot chick are sewn up, now... :(

John has excellent taste, definitely lucky, and fortunate to have such a lovely lady at his side. Beth, you are a treasure. Congratulations to you both.

Yis! Moveable targets? Kewl.

My pistol...antique thing that it is, has been in the shop for over two months. I want to get it out of their clutches and start shooting. It is an H&R .22 9/9. Sadly, no customer support for the antiques by the new owners, drat them.

Oh don't look so surprised. You knew I would eventually get around to it.

Roar, desultory chest thumping and small token charges in your direction, womyn.

Happy Anniversay, John and Beth :)

You done good, John. She's a classy lady. And so say we all.

Come to think of it, you're not so bad yourself...

Yes...yes...Happy Anniversary John.

Nothing like keeping you on the straight and narrow like a room full of guns.

Congratulations! I sure hope I eventually reach a day when I've been happily married so long that I can't even remember how long it's been...

And I agree on the subject of power tools. Nothing says "I love you" like an angle grinder!

There was supposed to be an emoticon in there where appropriate. SOme how it got lost.

Let's try again. ;)

Yeah, I'm going to agree on the insane thing. Gotta be. Hang out and live with you for 11 years? That's a real exercise in endurance. Though I'm sure the margaritas make it oh so much easier to stand.

Congrats you two. And if you schedule it far enough out(like buying airline tickets) you can get really cheap labo(u)r to put all that stuff up when the engineering studies are complete----plus other stuff that needs doing(that's about all the presents gollum can afford right about now).

Well I see you jumped a year, don't feel bad I've been saying we've been married 22 years for a while now, I think it's 24 but I have to go back to remembering the year we got married, 1983 or 4. But hey, I always remember the day, that's the important thing, beside that's why I married someone with a superb memory.

Well, I had two rehearsals, Mrs. G. I've had *3* 1st-6th anniversarys.

As for powertools... I got SWWBO a 23 quart canning cooker, which is what she wanted.

Me, she wants me to get the bits and pieces I need to construct a target array, to include wire and pulleys to have infinitely adjustable targets when shooting off the deck.

Engineering studies are under way.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Wow, only ten years, you guys are newbies ;P. A Toast to ten more!

Let, see they say the 10th Anniversary Traditional Gift is Tin or aluminum. The pliability of tin and aluminum is a symbol of how a successful marriage needs to be, flexible and durable and how it can be bent without being broken.

I say screw that, nothing says forever like power tools, oh that's just me:P

Now just beware of the Dog House, John
