I think I am on thread 5....... OMG I'm an old timer. The good news is I am still here so something is working I guess. I need to down load from the lap top.
Mark I will E-mail the book to ya. It's a very interesting book. Totally opposite way of thinking but I does sound reasonable

The trip here was nice. Talked a little in the car. Surprising the 5 hour trip seemed to fly by for me. First stop was bridle vial falls. Not much of a hike. Going up hill I don’t have a problem it’s going down I USED to lean on somebody but this time I just used my cane. My daughter asked me if I needed help. Told her thanks for asking but I can do it myself. Not much water. After we went to the lodge. Now this is where I may have screwed up. I am doing a 180 on this trip. And I am trying not to pursue but. (And that’s a big butt). The W and I brought the first load of stuff to the room. Another trip was needed I told her no problem I was going to stop by the shop so I grab the last bit when I return. OK normally the W and maybe my son would go back and get stuff because of my leg. Sometimes I USED to play the sympathy card... But I said I would NOT to pursue but to show I could do it. Any way we had a nice dinner, she ordered her chardonnay, I who would normally order beer ordered Chardonnay also but a different kind. I told her that way we can try each others out to see the diffeance. She said great. When the wine came she proceeded to tell me how the zinfandel wine I used to drink was a sissy wine and that Chardonnay
Is the next step to red wines that true wine drinkers drink? So I sipped mine and tasted hers and told her mine was a little dryer. She agreed. Said hers was a little more expensive that the one I ordered. If I wanted hers she would trade. I said no that’s ok but thanks.
Ok I see this like when CL’s W complains or puts him down on his dancing. We all know CL is a great dancer it’s just that his W wanted to put him down. That’s the Way my W would be with this wine thing. BUT…… Just like CL’s W has recently complimented him on his dancing and asked him to join her, My W kind of complimented me on my evaluation of the wine and even offered me hers.. Anyway guys and gals. It’s the next morning everybody is asleep. When they wake the next big 180 is coming up. You see I am verrrrrry self aware of my leg. I always keep it covered. Well RIGHT NOW I AM SITTING OUTSIDE THE LOUNGE IN SHORTS. Yes the world can see my leg. Just to let you know how it feels to me it would be exactly like any one of you sitting naked outside. That is how private my leg condition is to me. BUT ya know what…. IT FEELS GOOD. Got to go now I’ll talk to ya all later. Well…. The 1.2 mile hike up to the water falls was very interesting. It’s not a big trail. People kept commenting to me about my leg and how good I was doing. Daughter and I mostly stayed together. Went all of the way up no problem. Got my W to sit with me on a bridge with the falls behind us so my daughter could take a picture. ½ ways down I started getting a pain in my side but did not complain. Made it all the way down to the bottom of the valley. Ate lunch and then left for Glazer point. When we headed up the last road the W realized we were low on gas. She said she meant to remind me that we should get gas before we start up the hill. I told her oh well if we run out we run out no biggie. We will just call AAA. To make a long story short we made it to the top of glazer point and back down. Never ran out of gas. When we got back to our time share it was too late for my “Special” dinner so I will do it tonight. I slid the envelope with the necklace signed “Happy anniversary, love ya always” under her bedroom door this morning and then came down stairs to read. When she came down I said good morning. She said thank you for the necklace. I said I hope it does not make your neck turn green. That was it. She did not say anything about our anniversary to me. Oh well according to the book I am reading I do not “need” her to say anything. It is a preference. I would prefer her to acknowledge our anniversary but I DO NOT NEEDS IT...
If I can get my son up we are going fishing soon. Went to get boat but by the time we got there they were sold out. So went to a train museum and panned for a little gold. When we got back to the time share (BTW W slept W daughter). W, son and daughter went swimming. I cooked our dinner. I took a picture of the meal and I will put it on my web site. W was surprised I cooked the snails. Daughter asked why I would cook snails. W tells her because W likes snails. I ate 3. They were OK I don’t think I will do it again. I was thinking after eating the snails was probably a form if chasing and I probably should not have done it. How ever It is the new me in the fact that I am going to try new things. Anyway after dinner my son told me happy anniversary (in front of the W) I told him thanks. My son and I then went down to the club house and played pool for a few hours. After we came back and played the game of life with W son, daughter. Then went to bed. W N EVER said anything about the annv. NO card, NO anything. Like I SAID I WAS NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING. But it would have been nice to have some acknowledgment. Son and I got up earlier today rented a boat and got 2 hours fishing in before we had to go home. I caught one (gave the pole to son to reel in). And Son caught a BIG one. He fought it for a little while and then it went under the boat and the line broke. My son was Soooo excited. The more he repeated the story the bigger the fish got. Well packing up getting ready to head home. When I get there I’ll post this. See ya soon
I'll post pic's soon
I have more thought to post but it will have to wait

Funny thing happened on the way home. W wanted to take one more drive around the lake before we left. I told her no problem. Anyway there were allot of babes (I think I saw yoyo and olive there) in bikini's I "exaggerated" my staring and made little comments. I don't think the W liked me looking. She kept on trying to talk to me about "other things". I am on page 38 of the book WAW sent me. I also told her I was taking tomorrow off. This really bugs her because she has no vacation time.
Oh well Husband
