No wax on... no wax off.
What is the sound of one dishpan hand clapping?
Nature... and men... abhor a vacuum.
Dwell on these things.

Duty: Doing the dishes.
Excuse: Just say, "I lost half my platoon in sudsy water... ever since then, I haven`t been able to look at a sink full of dirty dishes." (It`s best if you turn away and pretend you`re wiping a tear from your eye.) Then, mumble, "They were good men... good men"

LOL!! Swaynester....that was seriously funny. Hooooo. I`m wiping a tear from my eye. thanks for that...I know it`s intended for Joel but hey, by the time he reads this, he`ll already have enjoyed it.

Ohhh. hello Joel, speak of the devil, how long were you standing there......nevermind. I wish you a hearty "welcome back!" I know it was hard for you. I can picture you sitting there, watching the sunset, drinking your girlie drink...c`mon, I know you had a few girlie drinks and itching just itching to get online to check your SuN baby.  Don`t worry everything is fine.

I`ll leave you alone now because I know you have more catching up than you`ll ever want to do again before your 25th wedding anniversary!

Welcome back Joel. You were certainly missed! Congratulations!

I`ve only been married for about 11 years so I may not be as wise as the others but my advice is:
Never go to bed angry. Make up beforehand.
Meet in the middle when you can.
Hold hands often.
Say "I love you" and mean it.
Do something spontaneous at times.
Just because your wife gives you a hug, doesn`t mean she wants to "do it". (I`m still trying to get this into my husband`s thick head.)

Almost forgot to mention, Joel, we had a another contest while you were gone... oh, and there was an attempted coup but we saved StartupNation.

And, Rich, that wasn`t an acrimonious flair-up, Brian was just joking when he said all that stuff about you.

Yee-Haw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I`m back in the saddle again ..."

Wow - how cool of y`all to give such a warm welcome. So much to take in from everyone - advice, song lyrics (was that on this forum or another one?) ...  where to start?

How about this ... I truly did NOT even look at the SuN website the entire 2 weeks. It`s fascinating to ingest 2 weeks worth of banter & news & revolution-squashing & such in a single day, but that`s what I did yesterday.

I`ll not try to put all of my thoughts into a single post, so you`ll be hearing from me regularly from here on out.

I will say this though ... Rich, EVERYone knows that it`s what you do prior to record breaking traffic weeks that really makes it happen.

Woo-Hoo!!  It`s GREAT to be back!!!!!

(but the wedding & honeymoon were absolutely a dream! There`s a Mrs. Welsh now, and she lives in my house!!)

Regarding rule 6, when your husband gets that look in his eye, see rule 5.

PS. We`re going on 26.

Yeah, nice try Steve! LOL Just kidding. Yes, it is good to give in once in a while regarding #6, but a hug does not always mean it`s going beyond that.
