As a glass is half full type of guy I'll offer my congratulations... it has its ups and downs but it's worth it.

Just remember marriage is like having a second job. It's a lot work but it's worth it.

Mrs. Cusser didn't want photos of her wedding night posted, so here's one of the wedding day photos (yes, black shoes, but this was "back then").

This was a result

Then their teenage years transformed me to this:

We couldnt afford a photographer for our wedding (hell, I borrowed the $57 it cost for us to get married ) back in 87, But i do have a pic of mrs.slave1pilot with me and my first car

and here we are earlier this year with 2 of our 3 kids at my son's wedding

kinkerstinker- congrats on your brand new marriage. I wish you decades upon decades of wedded bliss.
I'll give you a piece of the advice I gave my son and his wife during my wedding speech;
#1. Put the other person first- Always.
#2. Love each other completely and openly
#3. Take the opportunity to make each other laugh every time that you can.

Thanks everyone. That picture was in an alley outside of the building we got married in.

Yes, Mrs. Cusser doesn't even want me to try to fix the 32-year-old standalone ice machine that I bought for $50 about 15 years ago, think that the start relay is bad (and discontinued) but a universal hard start relay kit is about $15. This is a 50 lb unit which makes clear great ice, in cube shape. She wants new for Christmas, says the old unit is ugly - which it is. She wants a $400 unit from HomeDepot.com, the lowest cost choice for a unit that has storage and a drain (how one gets clear ice) and non-crescent shape. In the meantime, I've hooked up the icemaker in the refrigerator-freezer which had not been in operation before, but such ice is cloudy and picks up food odors from freezer and refrigerator side. So maybe it's time for a new one. To me, fixing stuff is a challenge, maybe I'll try to fix it for my 2nd place up north. She also wants a wine refrigerator which would be placed under such Home Depot ice machine, but those are plentiful and lots of choices, under $150.

But - what's driving me nuts - and you married guys will understand this - is she has gushed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday about how good the fruit salad she made for Thanksgiving was !!! Yes, it was good, but does such subject really need a re-statement on the subsequent 3 days???? If this re-appears today, I might just end up on the Investigative Discovery Channel !!! Which aisle in Home Depot are the blunt instruments located ???

Cusser - related to saying something is good...

If I tell my wife that _____(fill in the blank) was good that she just made, I can expect it at least two more times in two weeks.

I always have to say "This ____ is good....but that doesn't mean I want it again in the next couple of days."

She is still on the fruit salad because someone did not give her props she thinks she deserves. Might not have been you, most likely some relative.
Call em all on the QT and tell them to mention the fab fruit mix on the next phone call.

I regularly text my self centered college student sons to call their mother on Sunday, so I don't have to listen to her bitch about the ingrates all day.
