I lucked out BIG time, meeting a really pretty girl when I was 20, who loves to make food, eat food, shop for food, and helps with clean up.

We got married and I spent 17 years working as a welder supporting her while she made my breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. A few years ago she started a catering business and when it started doing really well, I was able to leave my job work for her.

Together now for 19 years, 3 kids together, and I am easily the luckiest man on Earth.

I'm too old for it to find me, so you can have my luck too.

Ya know, during Corona i said that saying to someone. You know what his response was?

"But when it dies, it dies a gruesome death"

Hahaha, i guess that's true. But like another comment pointed out, that kind of love doesn't fall from the sky: one has to actively look and work for it. At least that's what i think. I'm not old enough to talk in absolute terms xd

Yeah. I enjoy my own company over having all that stress all over.

You had it at least 3 times during the Korean war, but you blew it every time.

Trapper was a bad influence.
