Sociology . a well-established and structured pattern of behavior or of relationships that is accepted as a fundamental part of a culture, as marriage: the institution of the family. 5. any established law, custom, etc GG ~ .

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 After 53 years maybe we should.......naaaa, she would never agree to that. Besides then I would have to get dressed up in a suit and tie. There is the reception after, and all the booze and food........ well, mebbe that idea has merit.

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Be thirty-five this Sunday, legally! Made a lot of jokes about it over the years, but it's mostly been easy and generally fun. The only thing she ever asks me when I tell her I'm plannin' on doing something is.... (she cocks her head to one side and looks at me with those bright blue eyes, kinda' sideways) "You got the money?" SERIOUSLY!! I could be talkin' about jumpin' off the Empire State Building and that would be her only question!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would never go down that road again with the wrong person.. so I guess i am destine to listen to the stories you all tell .. cuz I am a horrible judge of character.. lol.. But I love the respect and honor all of you show for marriage.. and I love just hanging out and listening too it.. and being a SaSS sister.. that is cool enough for me.. Good night .. and sweet dreams.. and thanks for sharing with me.. Deja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
