    Congratulations Jim,

    The reason she has stayed with you all these years is either because you are a sailor ( ladies love sailors ) or all that money you make
    Hope you have 35 more years.......

    I suspect the reason the ladies like sailors is because they are gone most of the time! As for money, after filing my income taxes I usually get a letter of condolence from the IRS. However, As my check goes directly to her you may be on to something.

    Congratulations to you and the Missus! I love hearing stories about long, happy marriages.

    Congratulations Jim! Marriages that last that long are certainly in the minority these days.

    Congratulation. You and your wife have something special.
