25 Yrs tomorrow, what was that girl thinking? I thought she would have culled me a longtime ago, she must have known that I was too tough and stringy for any one else and took some pity on me, keeping me out of the MP DB (Detention Barracks). :smiley:

Well heres to hoping that the tough old trout, keeps me for at least 50 more.:stuck_out_tongue:

Congratulations. Old Dogs like us are just comfortable to have around, which is probably why she’s hanging on to you. We’re fiercely loyal and let em know when someone’s at the door, and we’ll eat anything they throw in our bowl.

Have a great celebration of a quarter century of marital wonderment. Take your sweetie someplace with cloth napkins for dinner.

Congrats, Sir!!
I’ve got ya’ beat, as far as “being married for 25 years”, and…wait… YOU’RE talking about “to the SAME woman”, though, aren’t you? Never mind, then.
Seriously, in this day and age, where “the average American marriage last an average of 3.4 years”, your feat is truly one to be VERY proud of!
As he usually is, Joe V. is right on the mark, as to why they keep us around after awhile. Although, he DID forget that once they get us trained, who in their right mind, wants to go through it AGAIN?
Just, remember, it’s the LADIES that say this, NOT we MEN… “All the GOOD MEN, are already taken”!!
If you do take her out, to a place, where your meal doesn’t come on a tray, or wrapped in paper, try your best to use all your utensils!

JC, there’s a lot to be said for “Pure Class”! And, you obviously, NAILED IT!

Congrats to both of you! Sounds like you both found a keeper!:smiley:

Remember, “Don’t kiss your girl by the garden gate 'cause love is blind but the neighbors ain’t”! That love you two both share will keep you both young at heart forever. :smiley:

Wow, congratulations! Hope you have at least 50 more great years together.

Way to hang fffwx. Congratulations! You’ve done well, living in the times of “Disposable Marriage”. We’re creeping up on 50, and it doesn’t seem possible. Sounds like you got one of the good-un’s too. Here’s hoping you hang for another 50 or 60.

Ray,
The title of your post is funny!
Thanks,
Doug :smiley:

Flyfishfairwx I am in total awe on anyone with courage enough to call his wife a tough old trout. This May 23rd I will have been married for 40 years. In any of those 40 years had I called my little parsnip flower a tough old trout, my hide would be hanging from some old shed wall.

Perhaps You had better order a nice vintage wine to go with that four fork dinner.

Congrats on beating the average marriage length x 6 by the way.:shock:

It seems that fly fishermen know which ones are keepers and which ones arent.:smile:

“tough old trout”?!?! “little parsnip flower”?!?!? OMG!! no wonder you guys have been married as long as you have! You both have incredible wives!!:stuck_out_tongue:

:DWELL,lets see, She was, and is, a ranch girl. Yes dear, Darlin’, Love of my life, NICE WORDS!!! :cool: She can still throw hay bales around so after 33 years last June 8th, If I’m going to pick on her, it is “OUT OF HER REACH”!!:lol:

Congrats on your 25 years!!

Where praytell is such a place where one can take their better half, That has real honest to goodness Cloth Napkin’s!?!? As I can’t recall seeing such anywhere in the past 10 year’s!.

“MY LITTLE PARSNIP FLOWER”???
Thanks, for THAT ONE, GnuBee!! The next time, I want to take an “aerial view” of my surroundings here, locally and not hire out a plane or chopper… I think I’ll sneak up behind Linda and whisper that little “sentiment” in her ear!
Being a red headed all Irish lass, as I’ve mentioned before, calling her that will be a nice change, overall, from when I usually call her “My little Protestant beauty!”
