VERY TRUE!   my bride is 41.      

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  14:15:54

I don't plan on seeing my 40s for another 18 years

dat - Posted - 04/29/2013:  14:18:15

enjoy the age you are now, and you'll enjoy the years as they come.  I can't think of any bad years 'cept probably jr high years,    I've had a good time all my life

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  14:19:16

You will haveba tribe of children by then

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  14:19:46

Fifth grade was probably the worst year of my life. 

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:21:51

Wish I was back at school again......boy would I do things differently

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:24:54

You and me both! I'd actually take the naps in Kindergarten!

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:32:00

I would pay more attention.................

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:33:15

I'd work harder to learn another language

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:46:49

I would 'discover' girls a lot sooner

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  15:50:23

No, they have cooties until at least 6th grade

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  16:21:03

Cooties or no cooties there would be no holding me back

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  16:23:09

Except for daddies with guns 

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  16:26:44

Forgot about them:-)

Alaina - Posted - 04/29/2013:  16:28:19

Good luck with that

mbanjo - Posted - 04/29/2013:  18:30:52

Of the choice of two evils, I pick the one I've never tried before.

dat - Posted - 04/30/2013:  07:00:35

I would have learned more, school was easy, I just didn't like it,    I wouldn't do any work 'till the teacher said I had to make all A's to pass, then I would make all A's 'till I got my grade up, then I would quit doing the work again

Alaina - Posted - 04/30/2013:  08:58:29

If you didn't like school then, you'd hate it now. It is absolutely stupid. All it is is memorizing and reciting for the test, then it never gets brought up again. There isn't any LEARNING going on, it's all memorization...

dat - Posted - 04/30/2013:  11:05:35

memorization is a big part of learning,,  I can remember things I want to, but not what others want me to

I had this memorized by the time I was 16   then went down from there

Alaina - Posted - 04/30/2013:  16:52:39

Donations to my favorite charity gratefully accepted

dat - Posted - 05/01/2013:  08:21:45

I've been saying that donations are accepted for the wedding we're paying for, but none have come in yet

Alaina - Posted - 05/01/2013:  08:44:11

My parents continue to insist that Matt and I just elope and that they will pay for a huge party instead 

dat - Posted - 05/01/2013:  10:08:37

I like the party idea

mbanjo - Posted - 05/01/2013:  12:42:48

When my prsent wife and I fnally got married after living in 'sin' for six years we did it all from our home. One of my best friends was a chef at military college and did all the catering. The entertainment was provided by some spanish friends who were in a a flamenco dance troupe, and The marraige celebrant was a close neighbour and very inexpensive.....the whole thing didn't cost too much at all, back in 1977..................wouldn't like to pay for a wedding nowadays.

I haven't asked what this one is costing us, and probably won't,   we are having the wedding, reception then after reception party. snack foods at the reception then I'm grilling many pounds of fajita meat for the after reception party, hopefully we don't have may stay,    I get cranky with feeding a large crowd on my dime

Alaina - Posted - 05/01/2013:  14:22:39

I want to get married in the church where my folks got married (in Williamsburg Kansas). It is ridiculously inexpensive, the community building is pretty and right next door, and all my family is within driving distance. But Matt says that he won't go to Kansas unless I drag him there and even then he won't be happy about it. Does anyone know how mad he'd be if I just drugged him and he woke up there? 

mbanjo - Posted - 05/01/2013:  14:32:32

You could always get married by video link .....that way matt wouldn't have to go to kansas.......just a thought:-)

Alaina - Posted - 05/01/2013:  14:34:36

Hahaha no. Because I really want to be dip-kissed at the alter

mbanjo - Posted - 05/01/2013:  20:59:55

Surely you can find a substitute 'dip kisser' for a couple of hours ?

dat - Posted - 05/02/2013:  05:42:24

I'll be glad when this wedding is over, I haven't gone to bed before eleven pm all week

(we are still accepting donations)

Edited by - dat on 05/02/2013 05:43:03

Alaina - Posted - 05/02/2013:  09:01:08

I will donate some of my sanity and lots of my thoughts and prayers. And if we ever run into each other, I owe you a beer

dat - Posted - 05/02/2013:  10:27:19

some of the sanity will help out

Alaina - Posted - 05/02/2013:  12:20:32

It's headed your way. Unfortunately I had to send it snail mail because overnighting it has become too expensive...

dat - Posted - 05/02/2013:  13:56:02

just knowing it's coming helps, I may need it in a week or two also

mbanjo - Posted - 05/02/2013:  13:56:45

When is the wedding?....

dat - Posted - 05/02/2013:  14:02:56

46 hours from right now

mbanjo - Posted - 05/02/2013:  14:09:46

Hey.....that's not far away.........hope it all goes well for you

Alaina - Posted - 05/02/2013:  14:29:05

It's okay to cry, don't freak out, and I hope all goes well for your family :-)

mbanjo - Posted - 05/02/2013:  15:11:03

Just think,.............. if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

dat - Posted - 05/02/2013:  15:34:50

we learn that everything we do is wrong

Alaina - Posted - 05/02/2013:  15:37:04

Hey now, women aren't ALWAYS right! There's that random 2% of the time when we are having a bad day 

dat - Posted - 05/03/2013:  06:44:51

and we better not point out one of those random times, cause we're wrong for doing it

Alaina - Posted - 05/03/2013:  08:31:19

Exactly! And you say we're complicated... lol

mbanjo - Posted - 05/03/2013:  13:02:59

Husband: "This coffee isn't fit for a pig!" .............Wife: "No problem, I'll get you some that is."
