My epitaph:
Poof! Gone. Just like that.

oh, yeah, I went on and on but congrats on 15.
In my family and the one I married into, my mom and dad went 35 until he passed. My direct in-laws are now 88 and 86 and passed 65 years, their parents went nearly 70.
Recommendation since I know you are a tech head goober - take time to maintain the relationship. Find something to do together.
That's marriage advice for all of you. I seduced my bride by taking her sailing. Then college was over and then children and life. Maintaining the family (get off the roof you idiot) is not marriage maintenance. I have to clean the garage, wait what toilet is backing up???! is not marriage maintenance. Dig deep and figure out ambushes for love. Do something stupid. Have a PLAN. Don't let life inconveniences into your decision loop. Sorry, I seem to be talking to myself. This elder care is killing me with stress.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

True, maybe compromise over something? Just keep trying.
I'm in the middle of this battle as well. Technically retired at the end of June, wife prefers sewing, I prefer other projects, we're trying to start walking again (Autumn is just around the corner). Weird, as soon as I retired, she decided to do the same - we crunched all the #s and decided we could do this. Two weeks later, MIL who has dementia managed to trip and fall, breaking her hip. She argued for 4 hours before my fil just said elephant this, and called 911. That happened on my 46th wedding anniversary. To say from that day to now has been complete and utter hell is an understatement.

Congrats.
The first 60 are the toughest! (63 here).
She is still my bride and the love of my life. I tell her so.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

The TIME went by no need to wonder where it went it is gone
I am sure you have had wonderful TIMES witch have provided great memories savor those
We don't have a in person contact relationship but I keep wondering about the post
where you talked about moving to Canada
Wishing you all the Happy Days associated with your milestones
Keep kicking those stones down the road and living life to the fullest

We've still got an eye towards Canada, but we're hanging on here for as long as we can.

Terminus By Ralph Waldo Emerson : (last stanza)
".....
As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed at prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.”"
It is the Journey not the Destination that is to be enjoyed."
Have a Great Birthday!

Happy Birthday and Anniversary, dear lady. And thank your husband, as well, for not being a jerk and keeping you from sharing your wit and wisdom with the rest of us, lesser beings. Some guys are like that, sadly, and to my mind they are insecure, weak ninnies who need a good tipping into a dumpster. Your gentleman seems to be a good guy, and a blessing to your life. Good choice, girl!
When I was in High School, I can clearly remember talking with my friends about the odds that we would live to see 2000. Hell, we had the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Draft, Nuclear Energy proliferation; there was no way we were going to make it to 45!
We did...
You say you feel old in your bones... Let me tell you a story, my young friend.
When I was in my forties, I had a young friend of 5 years old. She announced that she wanted to learn Tai Kwon Do (where do little kids get these ideas?) There was no way that I was going to let my little Laura Jo enroll in a strange studio before I checked them out. So I enrolled. I was 47.
At first, I couldn't touch my toes, I couldn't even touch my shins without grunting. After 6 months of training, I could stand up straight-legged, and lay my hands flat on the floor. That took no effort, and cost me no pain. Mind you, it took a lot of hours of hard work to get there, but I did it, and so can you.
Today I'm an old dog, barking at 70, but I can still perform most of what I learned at that school. Yeah, there comes a time in life when you can no longer do the things you used to do, but it comes at a time much later than most believe.
Schedule some serious physical activity, like martial arts, and pursue it. I truly believe that this course will enrich your life for as long as you live.
Will Rogers never met me.

That's how they make Haggis flavored Mackie's Potato Crisps

The forbidden flavor. It's the one our chip aisles can never know.
|
|
|
|

Here in the states, there's a company that makes crisps with truffle flavoring. Have you ever heard of or tried those?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

In Montréal, we have a good selection of imported truffle flavor chips like Torres Selecta.
Some are better than the other. It a fun novelty chips.
These days I have a fixation on Brets French chips.

That is great.
There are 48 videos from that producer.

When you start a feature change, but you end up having to change everything because the new feature is not supported everywhere else..
