Following my divorce in 2001, I moved from California to Missouri; where I bought a small farm which had a 22-room house. I had had a number of years experience as an antique dealer; and, I furnished the house as an authentic "Turn of the 19th Century" farm home, complete with furniture; carpets; curtains; etc. Being 'single' I got a kick out of the comments such as "Where's your wife?" etc. For years, I merely smiled; and, replied "I took care of her. However, as you walk about, please avoid the NW corner of the property; and, ask no more about her." I became reasonably friendly with a number of the people in this small rural town in the Ozarks; and, replied to them, when THEY asked about my wife: "I would appreciate if you didn't mention her. The Sheriff might want to enquire further; and, it would probably make for an uncomfortable situation." And, about 10 years, later, when I moved back to California, my insurance agent asked: "You can tell me, now that you're leaving." I simply walked away, giving her that same 10-year-old "enigmatic" smile. And, if you're ever in Mountain Grove, Missouri; and, someone tells you about the "Mystery of GirlsTown" and, the strange guy who lived there, YOU will know what they're referring to!
Hey! The "Mona Lisa" has gotten away with it for 500-years! And, Mr DaVinci has never told anyone either! And, I haven't told YOU either! <smile>

They are all very cool and very unique. The question I think that needs to be asked....

I DID "like being married". . .For almost 30 years! And, one day, I told her "THIS is not working. Because we are NOT the same people as we were thirty years ago. We gotta make "adjustments," or bunch it. . .And, go our separate ways! She re-married. . . to a guy (I was really happy for her. . .That she found a Time Machine; (found the Guy from 30 Years Ago!); and, I "bought the farm!" I learned to drive a tractor; raised all my own fruits and vegetables. . .And, beef, too! And, began cooking for "strangers" at the B&B. Getting back to that ubiquitous "thread," as a man, I was a pretty good "decorator." And, it is NOT a "male or female trait."

I'm not so sure about the second one. A lot of guys have aiming issues.
Love it! Now all I have to do is convince my wife that we need to update a few things around the house!
There is a old car missing a transmission somewhere.

We just celebrated 32 years. I'll turn 87 in May so I doubt if I will be making any changes. My wife is 15 years younger than me!
47 for us on 09/11. My wife is 6 months younger than me.

Great imagination or too much idle time. Actually I like them all would not mind having one or two.
