Way to go Todd! I am so happy. Wish I could have got drunk at your wedding 'cos I can't dance anymore. Sheesh, this place has been through so many deaths, births and marriages it's getting to be like a church Viva la vida!
Isn't it wonderful to feel magically bound to your love by the unbreakable celestial ties of marriage? Congratulations, Todd and Jeanette, in a shower of confetti and sincere wishes for everlasting happiness, music and love (it can be done)!!
May you have a long live together....Enjoy it, it is nice to have somebody to walk with you trough your live. And to be somebody that walks along with somebody else's live.
You know, I've been studying this for a while and one of the techniques that women use to gain the upper hand is to either move the goalposts or slide the focus of the argument away.....
eg...
Me: How did those scratches get on the back of the car?
Wife: Because of the stupid way you parked it....I couldn't see where I was going when I was reversing.
Me: But you're supposed use the mirrors...or wind down the window and just look, for crying out loud!!
Wife: Well I was in a hurry and didn't have time after mowing the lawn. Maybe if YOU had mowed the lawn it would have been some help.
Me: But that's still no excuse for damaging the car!!
Wife: OK....Tell me the last time YOU mowed the lawn....or did the washing and ironing? Eh?
Me: ..But.....
Wife: Yes...EXACTLY! You CAN'T!! You just sit around playing with that stupid guitar all the time.
Me: But I've hardly even had the guitar out of it's case in about 3 weeks!
Wife: Oh, so is the age starting to affect your memory too?....Look, some of us are too BUSY to stand around and argue....Some of us have WORK to do!!
(Door slams)
And that dear readers, is the moving the goalposts technique.
Good example Ron. Well,.. Im in a relationaship and I think im already under 25% winning an argument.. But I ignore it most often and do what I want to.. The most scarying about the graph is that for the last years of marriage,... the man has absolutely no arguments left... Todd.. be strong! You know the next big topic will be childs... Now its still time to enter a seminar for understanding and dealing with women. I would take it. lol...
Ok.. jokes aside. Why did you use the 11th september for the most happy day in your life? Was that a strategy of you not to forget the right day in future? I remember exactly what Ive done this day a couple of years ago. I played guitar in my room, took a break and saw a movie about some people attacking NY.. Than I figured out... It was no movie. A friend of mine has birthday at the 11th sept. I dont know the birthday of my parents and sister... but this date I cant forget.
Congradulations! That was a big step forward in your life! Wish you the best! GOOD reason! I am also kin PS: It seems you can now remember 9-11 for aGOOD reason! I am also kind of strange with how my marriage dates go (got married 4th of July, and had the marriage anounced in newspaper at 1st of April) Ha
Congratulaions old chap. I hope you didn't make the mistake I did and got married in high fashion. You tend to look sillier by the year when you get the wedding photo's out. Anyone remember shaggy dog haircuts and platform boots???
