Thumbs up Off topic - a great story

My wife is a volunteer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Here's a newspaper story about one of her "Wish Kids" and what she arranged for him.

Me thinks not....

I believe the young man is with, "Kelly Kelly, also pictured above," as is stated in the article.

But, knowing Mark, this could be one of his chauffeurs or massage givers....

It's obvious Mark's wife reads the forum. Otherwise I'm guessing there will be one bent-up folding chair somewhere in the Portland area...

Actually, Merry is drop-dead gorgeous, both inside and out. From the photo, all you see of the blonde is the surface. That's why Mark is scoffing.

Juulie - Merri (correct spelling) says your check is in the mail. Juulie is correct - I am the luckiest guy on the planet to have found this woman over 30 years ago. Not only is she a former Miss Oregon contestant and was a stewardess for a major airline, but she is CEO of her own company and a fantastic mother and grandmother, not to mention her terrific volunteer work. All you guys should be jealous.

BTW - why she has stayed with me after all these years is one of the great puzzles of the universe.

There is absolutely no doubt Merri should be nominated for sainthood.

(But we really want to know what you have on her. It's got to be big. C'mon, we won't tell anyone else...)

WHY NOT??? BECAUSE -
1.) You share your meds with her on an as needed basis.
AND/OR
2.) You make her laugh.

PS - My lovely young bride has put up with me for nigh unto 39 years.
PSS - Kudos to her for the charity work!

Not according to her.

BTW - this is the second marriage for both of us. Just the other day, I figured out that if instead of divorcing my first wife, I would have killed her - I'D BE OUT NOW!!!
