44 years ago today, this lovely woman decided to commit to spending the rest of her life with me.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell her what she was getting herself into.
Fortunately for me, she still hasn't noticed the gravity of her mistake
I'm glad love is blind and my wife has also been able to overlook my many defects.

She's still trying.

Fake it as best you can,... that you are just perfect.
DFW
(60,264 posts)And I think she would probably let you know in no uncertain terms. I t5hink she just considers me an intriguing long-term project.

DFW
(60,264 posts)But we have nothing against proving her wrong, although she put out an ad decades ago that warned that it was not nice to fool Mother Nature

(22 posts)It's nice to hear good news and I am happy for you, Congratulations! (my wife and I are up there also). There is so much bad news these days. As I grow older I realize just how scummy so many people are - whether it's from the news or looking back at the people I worked with over the years. Enjoy your time together! Time is fleeting.

(3,289 posts)her judgment as a catastrophic error. From the small sampling of your posts that Ive read, her judgment of you was excellent. As was yours of her.
Congratulations and happy anniversary!

DFW
(60,264 posts)We did a few chores, and then we went up t5o the Gasometer in Oberhausen for an incredible exhibit on the world's forests (Avatar, take note). Then we took a train back down to Düsseldorf for a fabulous Lebanese dinner. The restaurant even brought us out a volcano firework for our table. Then, almost too full to move, we got a train back up to the airport, where we has left her car, Now, I have4 hours to pack and get a nap before going back to the airport to get my plane down to Madrid, where I pick up the plane to Washington.
