Thanks, S.D.

A gallon?
You're a better man than me - or you've got better kidneys for sure.

Thank you, John.

Married sixty years? Well for what it's worth, you're superheroes to me!

None of the hard stuff for me, but a gallon of sake, red wine or good beer is wonderful!

Herb and Mrs. Herb, we salute you!!! . Congratulations
and may the bluebird of happiness fly in your door!!!
And Stay for another sixty!!! -- j and k

In a way, I envy you. With all the meds I take I'm supposed to forget alcohol. I cheat with an occasional single malt scotch, or Blue Nun wine. Shhh!

Thank you.

That's why men die sooner than women?

Thanks.

Glad I'm not that "through" yet ;)

Broke curfew in a big way on Tuesday. Took my team our for sushi. Way too much sake. Poor decision making. Head to locals scooter-driver bar with live music (recommended by nice waitress). More beer. Out till 2 am... very rough Wednesday!

Anniversary celebrations are much less stressful!

Congratulations!

Well, we're going out tonight to a fancy Italian restaurant, with a big menu and a band that plays from 7 to 9. Sunday it's the celebration with the family. After that -- I'm through with celebrations.

As my husband tells the tale:
"She proposed to me as follows: 'Marry me or die!' ...
So I chose the lingering death!"

Congrats!

I was 21 the first time too, but done with undergrad. Thank goodness that one is over!

One of my friends at works grandparents celebrated their 75th recently! The grandfather died a few days after 100!

LOL Thank you.
We married very young. (21 & 20). I don't recommend it. We were no more ready to be married and have kids than becoming superheroes. I was in university and was selling shoes part time she was working full time. No money and that was even before credit cards. (I'm older than dirt).

Thank you.

I understand.
I lost a son 23 years ago, and I still shed a tear or two for him every day. Life goes on.

Everyone has something. In our case, we were very young (21 & 20) and our parents hated each other. They couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other. It made it difficult to have family get-togethers. But we managed to overcome. Lots of scars, but -- they heal.

Thank you.

Rocky is the word for it. We call it the roller-coaster. As we aged, we managed to turn most of the downs as a part of the deal. No one gets out of life unscathed.

Thank you.

My kids guilted me into quitting smoking which I did in '74. My BW & I have had our ups & downs but always managed to get past them. But I understand that it's not always possible.

You better watch it. You're on thin ice.
Wives have some kind of built-in radar that tells them everything.
