    And to think the church hasn't officially Sainted her yet. Unreal.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Congrats George! I'm beginning to think I'll never see 20+ years of marriage as my fiance` and I split up after 2.5 years and I was divorced back in '97. My grandparents made it 52 years together. That was something I had always hoped for....

    Again, congrats to you and your wife.

    Congrats George!! The wife and I have just now made it past the two-year mark. 24 years is an amazing accomplishment in this day and age.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Congrats. There is next to nothing better to hear than a successful marriage story. Too many people get divorced, and move into another relationship without fixing their own short comings. Marriage is work, and all I have to say is job well done.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I've made it over 25. Don't know how.
    It's definately got it's up and downs. Sounds like you've made it past
    the tough years. Now it's time to cruise into your golden years together.
    Aren't you retired yet??????

    congratulations, George... we celebrated #24 this year, too. Good thing since our older child is 23! She was born on our anniversary, which if nothing else is easy to remember.
