Thanks Clifford, I thinks it's great to have been married for 39 years. I've been married for 40 years. Let me see, first one, 4 years, second onee 11 years, third one, 25 years. Yep, I got it right, 40 years. Grin.
Regards, Tom Hodges.

I refer to her as my first wife because that is correct, and it keeps her on her toes a bit, knowing that she could be replaced. After all these years, we have grown to be habits to each other, so it is my estimation and hope that she retains that slot for the duration, but telling her that would entail certain risks. Some things are best left unsaid? Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson I am a bit confused about your comment about doing something in November with your first wife. The month of November is just half over and you have a second wife in less than one month? Just curious.

My first wife and I engaged in some spring cleaning in November, and we can not figure out whether we are behind several months, or ahead several months. In any event, I was commenting about my collection of screw-drivers, which has gotten out of control, and I am telling all of my friends and family that this Christmas need not involve screw-drivers. One of the participants on the site asked me, "what would a blind person do with a screw-driver". I explained that I had disassembled a chair today and reassembled the good parts from two chairs to make one good one. This gentleman apparently has not been exposed to handyman activities at all. While I don't perform as many tasks as I did as a younger man, I am astounded at the lack of opportunity some blind folks have. Their parents, teachers, and friends have protected them too much, in my country boy's opinion.
