Well on Monday (8-22-11) The wife and I will reach our 41st wedding anniversary. We went out this last Saturday night to celebrate the occasion with my Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law who are celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary. We went to a very nice restaurant in San Antonio called Morton’s. It was kind of expensive, probably enough two buy two hard drives. lol! Anyway, I just thought I would share this occasion with my online friends to show that I do indeed do other things than stay online all of the time here in the openSUSE forums. In this picture taken at the restaurant, my wife and I are the two on the right.

Thank you Jim & Malcolm. It is hard to believe we have made it so far. Its been hard lately on the wife since she is stuck in a wheel chair. None the less, a very good time was had by all. We even ate leftovers from there tonight, so we ran that cost per meal down just a bit. lol!
Congrats. We are 37 years as of today (Aug 21th). We actually remembered this year. Most years it slips past and we realize it later.
Congrats to you as well FlameBait. I can say that I was informed early on that I should not forget the anniversary. My wife even put the date inside my wedding ring, though the ability to read it has been long gone due to wear. More recently we have decided to combine ours with my wife’s bother and his wife as our anniversary dates are only four days apart. So now, I have a small network to help me remember even as the old memory seems to come up short sometimes.

Thanks so much for your very kind words from everyone. As for the land for our wedding anniversary part, I now consider myself to be traditional which is blank on the 41st, just like the land I did not buy. Too bad being modern did not see a new computer instead. lol!
I was 18 and one month from being 19. My dad had to give permission to get married that young, back on Saturday August 22, 1970. After the wedding, we found our car complete with tin cans tied to the back and just married sayings written on all of the windows. I drove just a few blocks away (on our way to a local hotel for the first night) and removed the cans. Then on Sunday as we left out to our honeymoon, I had to stop at at local car wash to get the writing off of the windows. It was raining and the shoe polish or what ever it was was running down everywhere making it hard to see. It was all very memorable to be sure.
Congratulations (everybody!). It’s good to hear about such long-timers! I thought I was getting long at 15 years (well, maybe compared to a lot of our friends, it is a long time)!

dragonbite, 15 years is a long time now. I guess I am not sure what the average marriage might last these days.
that’s pretty cool i think …
what were you used to work at that time?
did you had a college education?
mostafaxxx, I was attending a Technical School for electronics at the time for which I did graduate. I went on to work for a consumer electronics repair shop later. Think home and portable stereos and receivers, record turntables and tape players of all kinds. I later in 1975 moved on to HVAC control systems with a very large control company. I have switched control companies a few time since, but still in the same field, now for some 36 years. I got into computers with my very first control job, attending a three week MODCOMP repair school. Back then you repaired a computer, down to a logic chip. CPU’s took up much space, with many Integrated Circuit chips and you actually understood what they did inside. I had to learn machine language code in order to repair them. I have basically been a hardware person that had to learn programming to make them work. In the HVAC business, its still the same as always. I got my first real PC in 1979 with a Radio Shack TRS-80. I have had a personnel computer of some type ever since.
Congratuations and thanks for letting us know. Wish you many more anniversaries.
