Congratulations!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

You should try an authentic Japanese Yakiniku Tabehodai. That is an all-you-can-eat experience of a lifetime!

Like I said, I don't eat more food than I need to be full. I am a recovering Compulsive Overeater (among other things...). ;)

I actually just read a good article on couple happiness and satisfaction. Apparently women are happiest after 30 years (significantly) and men keep getting happier too but I believe they start out happier and it rises more slowly. There were more than 1000 couples in the study which is great.

Here's to a happier second 20 years :mwave:

I only eat all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster. All you can eat wings turns into a competetion between the friends and I always end up feeling miserable. I think I like shrimip more than anything else so I love shrimp fest for that, I also hate buffets, because I'll eat too much and then just be lazy the rest of the day.

Anyway, 20 years is crazy PP. I've been dating a girl for almost 3 and I thought that was extreme for me. I typically can't hold onto anyone for longer than 4 months lol. I usually get bored and move on... I'm a terrible person lol. Congrats PP!
Those who say money can't buy happiness don't know where to find puffers.

I don't like all you can eats either. I rarely tend to overeat but you pay so much for the food and I don't eat enough to make it worth while. I'd rather buy a meal and take my leftovers home and get another meal or two out of them.

We were ready to divorce after 2 years. Those were the hardest. Hubby always said divorce wasn't an option.

Kyle and I had a really rocky beginning to our relationship too. Very volatile but we haven't had any significant issues in years now.
