An old man and a woman had spent their entire lives together.

They were childhood sweethearts first, and had now actually been married now for more than 60 years.

They had hardly known a life without the other in it.

Over all the years that they had been together, the elderly couple shared everything, keeping no secrets from each other…

Except for one thing…

The little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had made her husband promise never to open it until the day she fell deathly ill.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box - keeping his promise.

One day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

Despite being devastated by the news, the couple needed to settle important matters before they ran out of time, and the woman decided she would finally tell her husband what the contents of the shoebox was.

The elderly man then took it out from her closet and brought it to her wife’s bedside.

Upon opening, the man was shocked to find two crocheted dolls, and piles & piles of money that had to be $250,000..!!

The wife then explained about the contents.

"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.”

“She said that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."

The old man looked at the box again.

The old man was so touched he had to hold himself back from crying, as there were only two dolls in the shoebox.

Presumably, his wife had only been mad at him twice over the span of almost 70 years in their married life.

He scooped his wife up out of happiness, and gave her a kiss. After a moment, he looked lovingly into her eyes and asked:

"Honey," he said "that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh, that?" she said.

Um, why don't you post a few of those here, so we can, uh, critique them.

Okay!  Here's the sexiest picture ever taken of me.

I miss Neal Boortz too.  He was on the AOPA board for a short while, iirc. He flew out of PDK if I’m not mistaken.

Yep, flew a Mooney out of there. I believe he has a Carbon Cub now that he flies down there in Florida.

I would love to see the U.S. Dollar be once again backed by gold or silver but these Fascists would never allow that as they'd rather see the dollar go the way of the Duetche Mark prior to WWII.

  The whole reason to dump the gold standard and go to a fiat currency was so the government could just print as much money as it wanted.

 This has NEVER succeeded in history, and has always led to a meltdown and eventual insolvency. 

  But what about the elites?    Keep an eye out as they will be dumping the dollar and buying currencies in the BRIC countries.   You and I will be left holding the bag.

  Better start buying gold folks.  But look for the government to start restricting that as well.

We are living under a authoritarian regime.   Our media is state controlled.  We have lost our borders, and our economy is tanking.

And every bit of this lies at the feet of the republican party.   They REFUSED to put a stop to all the hoaxes inflicted during the Trump Administration.  They worked hand in hand with the democrats to perpetuate the nonsense.  They REFUSED to back their president during the two impeachment fiascos.   And they REFUSED to acknowledge or fight against a blatantly stolen election of 2020 and 2022.

 And now these sorry bastards are trying to convince everyone what we need is an ESTABLISHMENT backed candidate.

 Fuck 'em all.
