    Congrats Ron. You are the Jimmy Carter of egging. Jimmy Carter, the un-celebrity president - The Washington Post https://apple.news/AZlILNu8oT1eL7FMyR6gGmQ
    LOL! I shook hands with him in Washington DC way back in 1975. He is the ONLY Dem for president that I have ever voted for! To this very day I still respect and honor him as a person and as a fellow sawdust maker I still connect with him!

     ? Huh? In 16, soon to be 17 years she has never cut, bagged nor even mailed a single one of the 4,427 gaskets I have helped my fellow eggers with!

    Oh, I get it.  You don’t want to have to share profits with her.

    Thanks everyone! Just to set the record straight besides having been married now for 52 years we also were high school sweet hearts for those 4 years. PLUS clear through 4 years of college so 52 + 4 + 4 = 60 years. We had promised both of sets of our parents that we would not get married until we finished college. So we graduated college on Friday, got married Saturday and I started work in public accounting on Monday!!!
    I had finals on a Thursday and got married two days later. When I went back to school the next quarter I was a Junior. I had two years of college left, and then I started in public accounting! I was so poor at the time I could never image buying an Egg. It might as well had been a yacht. 27 years later and we are doing just fine.

    52 years is worthy of celebrating!  Congrats Ron to you and your bride.  That's awesome.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    That's a major achievement. We have 34 so I have a ways to go but hoping to make it there.  We will make it if we live that long. We are in this thing until death.

    Congrats.
