My wife worked at the same place for 28 years and yesterday was her last day. I don't know weather I should be happy or look for some TNT to blow my brains out. She doesn't have the interests like I do as I am busy from 5:30 in the morning to about 9 at night, then I watch TV. She also has MS so doesn't get around as fast as she once did so we can't do all the things we used to do years ago. I wish she liked fish more so than just for dinner like these tuna steaks.

Well congratulations to her and good luck to you ;). Hopefully with the extra time she's going to have now she will find hobbies she can do without strain on her with the ms. The tuna steaks look awesome.

Congrats to her.

I retired last year and my wife said she wants to work for 3 more years.
I hope she finds a hobby between now and then.

Sometimes we do better without the wives around to nag... You'll have to build another house to get away! Or a deadbolt on the man cave!

We spend a lot of time on our boat, so one of us can always jump off



She never comes in my Man Cave, because she would get the Horrors.

Hahahaha well yeah but may not end well, but I suppose it's better than if you had a helicopter.

Your man cave is indeed not very enticing to females.

I tried that, but she came with me.

Congrats......I am ready to retire even though I am not even half way there..... I need to get more exercise so I can be as healthy as you are when I am retired. The fact that you can have those steaks on the grill, your teeth are still pretty good. Now that is worth to drink for!

Happy the forth of July

I still got all my teeth. 8 Of them are implants but they are all mine. They pulled out a couple in Nam.
I met my wife when she was 12. We were in the same wedding party and I went out with her older cousin because I am not a Perv. I am 6 years older than her

Haha Hey. I'm not sure my mandarin is eating enough. I feed him live baby brine daily at least twice a day using your cool feeder. I also feed white worms once a week and frozen brine shrimp one a week. I see him eat at least one each time I feed, yet his sides still look a bit concave. What do you think? I also have a fuge but I don't see pods in the main display anymore since I got him three months ago.

If he is concave he is not getting enough to eat, maybe you need to hatch more shrimp each time, those freekin things eat an aweful lot

6 years apart, that's not even close to perv status, over 10 yrs is perv status. The wife and myself, 9 years 347 days apart, just under perv status.

When she was 12, 6 years was a lot. Which is why I dated her older cousin at the time.
I married her when she was 18 which she probably was in this picture.

The wife and I are both retired but she spends a great deal of her time taking care of her mother who's 97. We still enjoy the time we get to spend together and I'm fortunate that she shares an interest in my reef tank. Last time we went to a lfs she picked out a coral she wanted.

We have one of those, an old Mother. Her Mom is not as old as yours, but she is 89 and in a nursing home very demented. Some day I am going to tell my wife we have a fish tank
