Mrs H is like you, she is most definitely not a morning person. I like to get up early and TCB. She sleeps in a bit, and is refreshed to square her end of the bargain up. We balance that well together, especially with the restaurant.

Funny you say that, Hubba, because my wife is just the opposite of me. Goes to bed early, gets up early. I guess it's true what they say; "opposites attract." 49 years together so we must be doing something right.

Yep! Will be 34 years married for us next month, and 39 years since our first date. It amazes me almost daily at the differences between us. We balance each other very well. May be cliche, but we complete each other and make a great team. Congrats on almost half a century together, my friend. That’s quite an accomplishment!

Mrs Oz is definitely a night owl person, complete opposite to me and I like catching sunrise rather than sunset. But we are no where near the number of years in terms of marriage

Wishing all your years together are in a happy and loving relationship.

Thank you Esteban, likewise too with Mrs Esteban!

We're not exactly newlyweds because we got married during Covid but we're pretty late for getting married at our age

Never too late when you're in love.

Found this:

What is unconditional love? Unconditional love is when you love someone no matter what they do and have no expectation of repayment. It means you love someone for who they are, with no strings attached.

This happens to me with a variety of things, including names. Got a 70th birthday coming up in a few months so I just write it off to old age.

I have a pad of paper next to my computer to write things down and I send myself emails all the time to remind me to do things, plus I constantly put dates on the calendar.

Just remembering all the things I have to do keeps me very busy.

When I experience this I start running through the alphabet, thinking of
first names. It usually comes to me. Eventually. 🤔🤣

Just turned 68yo and starting to struggle with remembering names also. Mostly just folks I have not seen or interacted with in a while.
