Yes Joe, this does put you in a tight spot, what with the birthday thread thing and all.........But if you have been checking, I have really tried to make each birthday thread a bit different, sometimes suggesting they kiss my ass or whatever, just so all the messages are not alike. I have always prefaced these remarks with my reason for doing so, that being my fervent wish to please you and to belay your having a conniption. Therefore, and on that basis, I shall once again step into the breach and again be sure that this is NOT a thread with just the "same old thing" being said over and over.

First, let's talk about your wedding..........Lemmee get this right.....Your sister is going to be your best man?????..............uh-huh..........Well, right there this thread gets pretty bizarre...........I've suggested to others that they get married naked because then everyone would know who the best man really is. Somehow, I don't think your sister is equipped to compete. So who's the Maid of Honor? Max?

Joe, I have learned over the years that when your wife speaks, you need to listen.....and obey. I mention this because Christina is Chiropractor and if she tells you to "Get Bent" she can probably arrange it. Let me also suggest that you get back in practice with those words all married men need to know:
1) You're right.
2) I'm sorry.
Employed correctly, these two phrases will work about 80% of the time, but you need to pay some attention to your listening skills because they can backfire, as in:
SHE: "This dress make my butt look really big."
HE: "Yeah...You're right. I'm sorry."
....Not a good situation to be in especially if throwable objects are at hand.

Remember that communication is the foundation for any relationship and you need to be on the same wavelength and speaking the same language. I know this has already been on your mind as I recall you telling me how Christina said she could do wonders for your coccyx and that you were a bit disappointed with the result...................

I am not going to wish you well because everyone else has said that and a well is simply a water storage device and unless you're very thirsty, it's not much of a wish. What I would wish you is happiness, and if you two are half as happy as Karen and I, you will be thrilled and excited about life and love beyond your wildest dreams (providing the sad remnants of what's left of your hair doesn't fall out).
