My parents were married 67 years, just a few months shy of 68 years when dad passed. They got married at 19 (mom) and 21 (dad). I've been married almost 23 years. My oldest sister celebrates anniversary #32 this year and my other sister will celebrate #26 later this year. So, my advice would be to find someone who's been married a long time and get advice from them! Because whatever my mom and dad were doing right, it seemed to rub off on us kids.
My mom always told me that the key to a long marriage was.... 2 tv sets. And for the record, all of us kids have more than 1 tv set.
I'm letting you guys know first, one of the benefits of being a member of this forum.
This contest was so close. The winner won by ONE vote. And your winner for best Dukes of Hazzard episode is.... "The Ghost of the General Lee"! Thank you all for voting. If you want me to do this again, leave suggestions on what we should vote on next time.
Nedra Volz would be the oldest and Sorrell would not be 100. I know this without looking because I regularly schedule social media posts about cast birthdays.
Dad instilled a love of cars in me. He used to take me to cruisin' 50's night in high school and when I was little we went to the Harrah's Auto Museum in Sparks, NV on vacation. That was a treat. Dad had dementia for his last years, but my brother and I managed to get him to the Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance and the Petersen Automotive Museum a few years ago. We had a blast, made some great memories, and took lots of photos.
It's kind of amusing. Whenever dad would talk about our Irish roots, he'd mention County Cork. Turns out that his ancestors living in County Cork were mostly Scottish. 🤣
I love the "idea" of having a classic car. After seeing what my brother went through in high school with his '63 T-Bird, I enjoy seeing other peoples' classic cars.
That's not meant in any way to discourage, just to make it clear it's a pretty big commitment in time, money, blood, sweat, and tears.
