The modern culture put too much emphasis on the "wedding" instead of the "marriage". Just look at how much time, money, and resources are put into planning the average wedding ceremony. IMO, engaged couples should invest more time learning about what marriage is and what it is not, just to level set their expectations.

Wondering if it's numbered?

Had to go to a last-minute conference in Orlando this week. The team wanted to do some heavy drinking on the last day. Unfortunately, I had something much more urgent to do...

well you beat me slightly. congratulations ! sounds like you now buy gwp's by the bulk box. I get them the "old fashioned way" one $150 purchase at a time lol

[I sent an earlier reply to this but looks like Mods wiped it] Basically I discovered how messaging can be a very different experience when between spouses, GF/BF, etc. I think the written text triggers different areas of the brain then just speaking in person. Women also are the biggest consumers of romance novels...I think they are wired a bit differently to take in written "romance" gestures...hits them differently and then that causes our response to them to be different as well. I highly recommend couples to try it if they haven't. It was an eye opener for me...

Lol at "little." Thank you so much for sharing, just snared a 2nd copy. Rakuten has 1%, not much but helps with the shipping.

Been browsing through Beyond the Brick's space related featurettes and came across this two year old clip by now showing what an armada based around the Galaxy Patrol from Series 7 of the Collectable Minifigures line could look like. Plus a predominantly olive-green fleet featuring some of the smallest drone builds (courtesy of Simon Liu) I have seen. Also, a lot of this rare Star Wars helmet.

I got lucky. Never seen LEGO do this before with a regular box laid flat and the poster within. Maybe they did it because the Cantina shipping box was long enough to pull it off. However, it's numbered 1,343 out of 1,000,000,000.

I was volunteering at a school booth w/ another guy. He had a daughter in my son's class. Anyway it's his last one "through the system" ( has two others in college) and he seemed pretty happy. He told me he and his wife have a great relationship...because she's an early bird and he's a night owl so they rarely see each other. anyone who has been married long enough can TOTALLY RELATE. Most happy couples I see live very happy lives AWAY from each other....passing ships in the night. Even my inlaws were most happiest when they took turns staying with us helping us raise our boy... The miserable ones tend to be forced to be together because they work together in a small business or some other capacity. The more time you are with someone ...the greater the chance of taking the other for granted and resentment brews. We can all be on our high horse and say this or that on why that's not us...but throw in kids...inlaws..mortgage(s)...car payments...jobs...careers...and the random life surprises...and well no one really knows right?

The why is likely the same reason why other people do it, and why people are connecting with AI. It's simply easier and more appealing to connect with someone new than to work through the issues that caused you to get in this point in the first place. I went through a rough patch in my marriage and we distanced ourselves from each other. It took months for us to actually sit down and have the tough discussion that we needed to have, and to get down to the root of the issues. Ours had to do with the fact that in 5 years and 4 months we brought 4 little people into the world, and we were neglecting each other to take care of them. All that time wasted, and discussing divorce, because we couldn't just sit down and openly talk about things. It was definitely easier to pull away, but definitely better to reinvest in the marriage. I suppose the first step is to figure out what you want. Once you know that, you will know which direction to work in. You just can't half-ass it either way as each moment wasted is one you won't get back.
