Hilarious I down loaded that one to save lol

 

[bbbass]

I never spent money on fast cars, loose women, or bad habits,

I did all that during my first marriage.

 

[SparksFly]

I did it backwards, or as I like to say- the right way. I got married a bit later than most. I never spent money on fast cars, loose women, or bad habits, but spent most of my 20s buying more guns, surplus ammo, and reloading gear than I needed.

Now I've got a wife and a houseful of kids I couldn't imagine living without. I've still got more guns than I need and have the need for more mostly out of my system. Best of both worlds, in my estimation. I can't afford to buy much for gun stuff anymore, but don't really care.

When my wife and I were first married she said that one of her friends asked her if she was going to make me get rid of my guns, as if it was a realistic and reasonable thing. She replied why in the world would she do that?

That sounds like a keeper to me!

Me too brother, Married 28 years to the same Bride, had 4 daughters it's a blessed life indeed to which I know you can attest.

I gotta call BS.... the OP is no accident. An accident is after all the kids are grown and out of the house and the wife tells you one day that she's pregnant..... now THAT'S an accident!

There was this girl I met and I accidentally got her pregnant.

Aloha, Mark

Whoa, whoa, whoa! That sounds like a negligent discharge to me! Don't you go calling that an accident!

 

[FireArm]

I accidentally had three children. . . Birth control was not built for my sperm

If only that had been floating around 25 years ago -- I sold a motorcycle and almost all my guns to pay for a wedding with my first wife. Three years later, no wife, no motorcycle, and one battered 10/22 from my youth.

That stinks, sorry to hear it.

I know we all have opinions, but I have a strong one about expensive weddings. I read an article recently about how the average wedding in the U.S. now costs $35,000, and it's common to take out long-term loans to pay for them.

Personally I think that's genuine insanity. I don't understand it at all. When I got married many years ago, it was a fairly small affair that cost maybe $1k, dress included. Her folks helped with that and there were family and friends who volunteered with photography, food, and such. We're just as married as those who spent tens of thousands, actually more married than many/most, statistically.

I blame Walt Disney. How many generations of little girls have grown up now with ideas of a fairy tale princess wedding and living happily ever after? Sure, you can go into hock to buy the fairy tale princess wedding, but happily ever after is only in the story books; it's not real life.

Yeah -- that is insane. Thankfully, I didn't have $35k worth of guns and motorcycle. ;-)
