So. Much. Like. You, sir, are epic - and the Kween deserves nothing less than epic. Never forget that she is a pearl beyond price.Ode to the Kween
Some Men, they long to be "free"
That's them, but that's not "me"
"Me", is what she want me to be
"as you are", she says makes her happy
Her love, comes to me absolutely
Trust, support, her lock and her key
Words, can't describe how I love thee..
I'm not writing this because you need to read it. I'm writing it because I need to tell it. It isn't for you, or for her. It's for me. To put into words these truths. Well, that, and there is some cool Coffee ideas at the bottom..
I really have to marvel at the Gurl. Over the last 25 years, I have tested the patience of Job. I have pulled off things that my friends just shake their head at, and say, man, I WISH I could. Never anything harmful to a relationship, but things that drive other wives crazy nonetheless. I do nothing without fully immersing myself. With passion is the only way I know how to roll. And I am never without something new and different to demand my time, my attention, our resources.
Christmas is when I really have to take stock of the amazing support and trust she has in me.
Wine, a major passion, she is SO supportive of. I've been collecting since before "us". I amassed a collection that would rival that of many Hollywood stars or business magnates. Never a word said of the cost, the time spent studying, collecting, traveling to find the rarities that define an epic cellar. And she is there every step of the way, supporting me, encouraging me, enjoying the hobby with me. When I was in the deepest throes, she would find the most amazing presents.. The best crystal stemware and decanters, the most definitive books to study, the coolest gadgets to enhance my enjoyment. And she would always be SO interested in hearing what I had learned, and what I thought..
Fishing. When we first moved onto a lake, I decided to become a good fisherman. She would patiently grab a book, hop into the driver seat of the paddle boat, and paddle me as silently as she could around the lake for hours,reading while I stood on the back of that paddle boat and fished. Now doods, you KNOW. THAT is a keeper!
Hunting. She loves venison. It takes HOURS to properly clean it and prepare it. Cooking venison is an art, MUCH harder than beef. She mastered it to bring everything out of the meat that can be. She knows I hate killing a deer, but the meat is the healthiest I can provide my family, and she makes it taste so divine. She'll pack me a lunch to take into the woods. To get an idea of how her mind works, I open it up and it is things like fruits, nuts, Granola bars, trail mix... Nothing that would alarm a deer, only things that they would consider a natural (and delicious) smell. Who does that? Who thinks like that? I just shake my head in wonder.
I've had a zillion hobbies, and I keep almost all of them, so the list just grows. Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries. Every gift is SO well thought out and creative, to support me in my hobbies and interests. To help me learn more about what I am curious about. To find ways to make the time I spend doing all these things more enjoyable. The hobbies that she has the slightest interests in herself, she jumps right in with me.
She has gone to some very cold, tall mountains in blistering cold to ski with me. Jumped into freezing cold lakes to help me prepare for the summer boating season, and then again to help tear it all down. Prepared the house for weekend long stays for strangers from around the USA and Cooked gourmet multi-course meals for large groups of wine lovers to host amazing wine dinners. And enjoyed being the guest of other strangers in far away places to participate in similar events elsewhere.
And in all this, when she can't go, or lacks interest, she doesn't begrudge me my adventures. She supports and encourages me, and does her all to help me fulfill my desires. Motorcycles don't really interest her, but she fully encouraged me when I bought my first. And didn't blink an eye when I bought my most recent, even though I already HAD a nice one. She understands they are for different purposes. That's just plain cool.
She's not into clothes, she's not into jewelry, she doesn't want to drive a fancy car. Really, she is quite selfless. Her passions are teaching kids Drama, studying the Bible, and being an amazing chef. Her skills are an unbelievable attention to detail, and being a fabulous wife and mother. And that's not even mentioning skillful gardener, seamstress, home maker, skier.. all things that bring me even more happiness and joy in life.
Vaping? Yes, she quit with me. She suffered through all the trials of juices, hardware, etc. with me until we found what worked best for us. It was my idea. She got 100% behind it. I could tell she was nowhere as "in to it" as I was, but she knew it was where I wanted to go, and she climbed aboard to be with me.
What brings all this on? Well, this Christmas, it's coffee. My friend DCFluegel got me into yet another new hobby, well a couple really, but the Mrs. is focusing on Coffee, since DIY is something she knows I will put more effort into than her, so she will stand aside and let me figure that out. But the Christmas presents I got were amazing. Almost like she is reading this forum for ideas.
A half dozen Prepara Evak jars for my roasted beans. COOL little devices to keep air out. Stick on chalkboard labels, and a skinny multicolored chalk pen with refills. A little battery operated Bedrocker pencil frother for light duty, and a big 500ml Secura electric frother for heavier duty. A cold press machine to make that job easier, cleaner and more satisfying.
She'll never read this. Well, maybe if something happens to me someone will point it out to her. She would smile, and think "What an azzo, why wouldn't he tell me this himself" Not my way. She knows deep down what I think. And it wouldn't make a difference anyway. She doesn't do what she does, for thanks or praise. She does it, because it is who she is. All she really seems to want, is that random hug or kiss when she least expects it. That tells her everything.

Thank you Brudder. Nah, I'm sitting here making her Cappucino's, just marveling at how quick she is to help me take things to the next level. Really an amazing woman..
Lol... Yeah... I have a LOT of chili... And unfortunately may be in the process of passing a kidney stone, so my appetite is kinda borked... Would send you a bowl or two if I couldI wish they were too big! But no..too small. I remember from years past the returns were wild first thing then tapered off towards the afternoon so I'll probably wait until later. I'm tired of ham and I'm craving chili thanks to DC so I'm trying to decide if I want to make a big pot and calling my niece and see if her and her family want to share or just go to Wendy's and get a small one. No one here will eat chili except for me.

LOVE it! I didn't care for the lack of throat hit in nude nic, so it's down to what you want out of it. MFS has good throat hit, a nice taste unflavored. Nude nic was (for me) tasteless; some like that; with not much throat hit.
I'm praying for your Gramps. And for your family.
My brother comapared it to passing freight train wrapped in barbed wire. You have my sympathies.
Good morning everyone.
I thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts.
You ARE my family, and I cherish you all.

I'm sorry you're going through that pain my friend. I've had one and would rather push out a baby
There aren't words to describe the pain of a kidney stone or gallstones either for that matter.
lol... if that describes you too Princess, then you truly are a Kween! You're welcome.
Forgot to insert the quote. Should have been "Thank you for leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for me"Still kinds missing my brain.

If my "natural drug-free childbirth" was a 9 on the pain scale, kidney stones was a 10. (and lasted longer.
Yah, no bueno - but have had a couple, and thanks to a life long buddy whose family seems predisposed to them, I know a few tricks to 'expedite the process'... Aloe juice... Blergh.

Oh, I thought you were speaking metaphorically! Oh lawd, sorry to hear it brother! I had some developing on radar once, and on the Docs advice, I got DOWN with some Cranberry juice. Must have worked, never felt a thing. Too late? I hope you don't suffer!
And the bad news continues, our little darling Dinah (our pomeranian) is not feeling well at all. She has the runs and is now yelping as she goes. She just lays by my side all day. Trying to give her comfort. Well it will get better I hope this passes soon. Talk to you all later.
