Thanks Scotty! There were times we thot we might not make it, but we knew it was right & we have always been determined to make things work out. A simplistic formula, but then life is complicated enuf as it is, especially with all my issues. Both of us having a sense of humor--humor for us, anyway--has helped a whole lot!

Victor

Congrats on your anniversary.

It would be nice if you would ship a crate or two of frog legs to Milwaukee!!

Enjoy! Hope you were a Bucs fan tonight! You can go eat frog legs again.

Bob

Victor,
Happy anniversary!
My first taste of frog legs was right after the nomsv retreat in September! Me and another guy from the retreat dined at one of his favorite haunts in the city. Yeah--tastes like "chicken" with a "seafood edge"!!!
Friend--I admire your courage. You actually ADMIT to doing water aerobics with the old ladies at the pool?
Hey Victor--I was playing Led Zeppelin & the Jim Carroll Band on the radio when you were tying the knot. Glad to know you made it work all these years with all you've been through. Here's a hug for you both! ((( )))

Happy aniversary Victor!

My wife and I have been together almost 13 years, but 23, man thats how old I was when i met her!

p.s.

You've heard it said that 25 years is the silver aniversary and 50 is the gold aniversary, but I say:
23 is the frog leg aniversary
24 is the escargot aniversary
25 is the rocky mountain oyster aniversary

congratulations!

Victor,

I don't know if you know what Rocky Mountain Oysters are from your reply. They are very popular in the west.

Let's see how can I put this. You know what a bull is. You know what a steer is. You know what they do to a bull to make him a steer. They fry that to make Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Kind of like the first time I had escargot. They tasted great until my brother-in-law told me what they were.

As Victor and his wife were driving into the restaurant parking lot, this one was seen leaving out the back:

Thanks Bob!

So you like the frog legs, Bob? Not too easy to find in NC, at least not this time of year.

However, since the Bucs won the SuperBowl--YES! YIPPIE! YAHOO! :p (sorry, got carried away there!)--I should drive down to Tampa and try to find that restaurant where I first ate them--if it's still there--and celebrate with a big plate of big frog legs! :p YUM YUM! Or I could just take my wife right back up to that nice restaurant & order up a batch there!

What an anniversary weekend! An incredible wife for 23 years, the Bucs win the SuperBowl, and the NC State Wolfpack even beat the archrival UNC Tar Heels--the game after, BTW, beating the #3 rival Duke Blue Devils!

Hot Dog! I mean, Frog Legs!

Sure makes the pain & the struggles a lot easier to live with. Sure makes life worth living!

Interesting, there's a retreat in Florida in May, not too far from Tampa. If I can find a way to the retreat, I could actually eat frog legs in my old stomping ground again, maybe even at that same restaurant!

Yeah, I admit it. Unfortunately it's hard to get men to even try a class, much less stick with it. In spite of the fact that the last time I looked I was one (a man, that is!) :rolleyes: Besides, it's really the only regular exercise my fibromyalgia permits me to do. Fortunately, I'm really getting into it. I've just started working on a home course to get certified.

Thanks a lot Rick my friend, from myself & my wife!

Victor

Thanks.

Hey Mo, I was also 23 (actually just short of it) when I met my wife! So I guess I'm a bit older than you. But if I made it this far so can you!

23--that's !
24--not to sure about that one yet!
25--I'll stick with the silver, thanks!

Victor

OK Chey thanks for clearing that one up for me, I think!

Nyyaaaah aahh ah! :p

Hey what is it with you guys and the escargot and the Rocky Mountain oysters, anyway?

OOHHHH, wiise guys, aye?
