[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Coronita]Put in time now or put in time later, there is no free lunch (well, at least most of the time). I keep hearing people refer to work while they are younger as ball and chain. The funny part is that ball and chain exists for a lot of people a lot longer who didn’t put the time up front, it’s just stretched out over a longer period of time, lol.[/quote]
And he said to the man, “You listened to your wife and ate the fruit which I told you not to eat. Because of what you have done, the ground will be under a curse. You will have to work hard all your life to make it produce enough food for you. But lo, on the 857,934th day of creation, the Lord created Monsanto, and GMO crops, and many fertilizers as a result of the Lord’s Green Revolution, and the Lord said: I shall not let you go hungry again, even if you don’t work all that hard, as long as you’re not really really poor, and do not reside in one of those shithole countries ruled over by King Trump. So sayeth the Lord.”[/quote]
I would look at this a different way. I think you should be thankful you found a good woman, and that she stayed with you for many years, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, put up with a lot of male stupidity, helped you make some really good decisions that as a single male you would never have made, encouraged you to be a better person while not making you feel awful when/if you fell short, raised 2.000 kids with you that seemed to have turned out well, and didn’t ditch you the moment a hotter, more successful guy walked into her life. Just saying…I’d say you had a pretty good life…
