no,it has nothing to do with fishing
wasn't sure whether to post or not,but what the hey.here goes
i just spent what was probably the best day of my life,with my wife.we celebrated our 5th anniversary today,and i have to say that the past five years have been the best of my life.after over 50 years and 3 failed marriages,totalling 25 years,i finally met my match
she has been my salvation,and inspiration.she accepts my fishinging addiction(though she doesn't understand it)and works herself ragged,while i draw my little disability check and spend it on my fishing habit.she does this without complaint,and even forces me to buy tackle and fish at times when i feel guilty about doing so.
i just thought i'd give her a little well deserved recognition and let those less fortunate, know what it's like to have such a wonderful woman in your life.


ps........................wormdrowner,watch out.this could happen to you some day,believe it or not

congrats rick!!!
it's nice when you have one that understands the things that you enjoy and doesn't try to change you or not let you enjoy them.
me & the mrs. are gonna celebrate our 20th this year and to be truthful about it,i never have been able to figure out just what she sees in me! i guess i'm just lucky to have her.
anyway,take her out somewhere nice and have a real good time!

Rick, congrats. What your really saying is you found someone that keeps you in-line I know how that goes. I'll have 35 years soon with my better half. How she ever put up with me, I'll never know. Sometimes it take a few times to find the right one and sometimes you get lucky with the first one. I should send her (your wife) a sympathy card

My first wife was BAAD NEWS when it came to my fishing habits. Well, 12 years ago, I found one that accepts them. And what a habit it's become!!!

Well, I'm going fishing!

i doubt there are many women who would have stood by me through these past few years,with such selflessness.
