So what have you learned in 11 years of marriage, Mr. SunnyD? (If that is your real name!)

In no particular order:

I've learned that moshquerade is always there when you need...
ATOT loves pics of just about anything.
RossMAN rocks.

Oh, you meant in my marriage. The woman is always right, even when blatantly wrong and your own suggestions are actually right, in which after a time the woman will accept your suggestion except somehow turn it around making it her own suggestion implying the original was still right, but this new version is now even more right.

You take the victories where you can get them.

Do not rub said victories in your spouse's face.

Money is hardly worth fighting over, especially when you have none.

Giving a woman your debit/credit card is akin to posting your CC#, CVV#, SSN and Billing Address on the internet. :)

Video games are an addiction. Sex is the cure.

Having something to work towards every day makes it worth it.

Given enough time, you see the world around you in a new light.

When she describes herself as a psycho-bitch-from-hell, do NOT agree.

Working with your spouse in an employment setting is fun, but only if you aren't physically with them for the whole work day.

Most days, I'm glad I'm not a woman. ;)

I could go on... but I'm at work. :)

:thumbsup:Congrats to you both.
Mrs. BoomerD and I will soon be celebrating 33 years of "wedded bliss":roll:...yes, to each other!

Let me add a couple of words of wisdom to SunnyD's enlightenments...

The best way to get the last word in an argument...is to say "Yes Dear." (believe me, it's usually less painful than the alternative!)

Being right doesn't always mean you are right...no matter what the facts may actually be.

Being right is usually worse than admitting you're wrong...even when you ARE right.

Flowers can heal a ton of hurt feelings...

One "Oh Shit" will wipe out a whole stack of "atta-boys", both at work and at home...

Just remember, you may be the boss in your house, but you need her permission to say so...:p

DO NOT forget birthdays or anniversaries. (even the little ones, like the anniversary of your first date) You WILL pay for the lapse...

DO NOT forget to tell her how nice the house looks after she's spent the day cleaning it...nor how nice she looks before you go out...those little things can make your life MUCH easier...:p

NEVER, I mean NEVER-EVER reply to the questions like, "Do these jeans make my ass look big?" Guys, just pretend you didn't hear the question, and find some emergency to get away...FAR away...learn the little signs that she's spoiling for a fight and GTFO quick...did I tell you, that even when you're right, you lose?

33 years with a ball and chain...and surprisingly, I haven't completely chewed the foot off yet...:D
