I think they taste best in small quantities! They're good, but you hit a certain point where you start regretting the last three.

Congratulations on a good three years together! That's something to celebrate. It sounds like the two of you have a strong foundation.

I know every marriage isn't idyllic, but I'm glad there's hope for it as an institution.

Mmmm, those must've been good!

I got an order of fried pickles to go with lunch, so it worked out for me, too--but they're more fried than sour.

What kind of apples are you eating that are that sour??!

Yeah, I'm not thinking healthy, THAT's for sure!

Edamame?

dill pickle?

No, Not a pickle...

FRIED pickles . . . those would be good, too. I might go down to SmashBurger and get some of those since I can't have salt and vinegar chips. Sheesh, whatever it is, you're making me really hungry!!!

Hmmm . . . green. I don't know. Is it SUPPOSED to be green, or are you making faces and shaking your head because it has gone bad?

Now I'm in the mood for some salt and vinegar potato chips!

Salt and vinegar potato chips?

I think this is proof positive that us old farts were, and still are, better looking and sexier than all you youngons....

LOL! Okay, I'm good with that interpretation!

According to Nataly, it's only because you have cataracts.

Yeah, but I won't hold it against her because I'm old and forget quickly.

I really should've started voting earlier in the day. My 24 hours won't be up until about 4:30 this afternoon, and this is the last day of voting, isn't it?!

You're going to have to post lots of pictures from your trip. :)

I waited until I was 40 to get married. I had options before then, but just didn't want to live with any of those options for a lifetime. I ended up marrying my good friend and it's wonderful. We are very comfortable with each other and know each other well. We think very similarly, share a similar sense of humor, and have similar values. Our lives mesh well together and I like the synergy we have as a married couple.

I respect the decision not to marry and spent plenty of years being single myself. I was perfectly content that way, but marriage can be terrific, too. Maybe part of the key to my happiness is that we were both completely satisfied with who we were and the lives we had made for ourselves before we got married and we weren't looking for the other person to somehow complete us. I don't think everyone goes into marriage looking for that, but I've certainly known people who did.

There are a lot of reasons marriages fail, but I still believe in marriage and still think it has a lot to offer. I hope maybe other people are like I was and just wait longer to dive in instead of avoiding it altogether.

Almost there!

They must be so fun! Good luck finding them nice homes!

They're precious! How old are they?

LOL! Kitty claws and waterbeds do not mix! Did the cat end the day with 8 lives instead of 9?

Tunnel glass is a very, very hard surface and should not be encountered while topped out.

It was only a matter of time, and he DID say it has been a tough year!

Really? There had to be at least ONE reference to poop in there somewhere, though. I missed all the juicy stuff and came back just in time to see the wake he left behind.

Happy birthday!

Nice! Congrats!

How could it not? Most of his posts were poop-centric!

I don't actually know all the details to tell, but Walt was a bit . . . "brazen" to begin with. When he went out, he went out big! I just don't know what he actually said. I came back online and it was the talk of the forum for a while.

Walt was effective!
