No worries as I'm sure most men would fall into that setup as well.

I have no doubt about that.

It's mind boggling that's for sure but given that it's a rare piece, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get the island, mansion and a yacht with an anchor and everything...maybe even a few dancing girls.

More than likely the value of that ring could buy you an entire tropical island with a mansion on it.

Looking back at the photos, it appears that there are two men who won't step foot in a jewellery shop.

Can't say I blame you cuz some of that stuff just cannot be unseen. No worries though, my imagination can conjure up the most outrageous stuff sometimes.

Together 83 years, the ‘longest married couple’ to give advice on Twitter for Valentine’s Day



He was peddling produce along coastal towns in Connecticut when he fell in love with the neighbor girl, Annie. She was a few years younger and still in high school. She’d walk with her friends in the morning, and he’d drive by in his 1932 Ford Roadster and give them a lift.

The country was still in the throes of the Great Depression, and Annie’s father wanted her to marry a man 20 years her senior. But she too had fallen in love, with the charming John Betar. So at just 17, she followed her heart, and they ran away together, eloping in nearby Harrison, N.Y.

That was more than 83 years ago.

Eight decades later, with 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, they’ve seen the world change immeasurably over their lifetimes together. Now, at 104 and 100 years old, respectively, John and Ann Betar will tackle a whole new frontier this Valentine’s Day: Twitter.

Named the “longest married couple in America,” according to an analysis by the Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a Christian organization, the two will dispense marital and life advice online. It was organized by Handy, an on-demand home services company that will be collecting the questions and tweeting the Betars’ answers.

They have few expectations for their social media experiment, but they are accustomed to people asking how they’ve stayed content together for so long, and what they eat and do to keep busy.

A lot, as it turns out. Ann Betar still cooks, cleans, reads, makes the bed, waters the plants and hosts family gatherings, her husband boasted. And he still drives, cuts grocery coupons and handles the finances, she said.

“We’re just lucky to be together. So fortunate,” he said, in an email exchange. The best part of their long life? “Just simply being together,” he said.

John Betar is a Syrian refugee, whose family escaped during World War I. He was only 10 then, and he bounced between refugee camps for several years. His father had already made it to America. His mother got a foot infection during their escape and died in 1919, leaving him and his brother to fend for themselves until their father sent for them in 1921.

He said they send donations to support Syrian refugees now.

“I always feel the doors [to the West] should be open. They were open to me. Gee, imagine if they weren’t …,” he said.

There wouldn’t have been Annie.

Happy Valentine's to you too Pete.
I promise there's no ex-lax in those

Yep, I'm inclined to agree with you about the timing of events but leaving the events as they were. Having the benefit of manipulating a few decisions to perhaps change the outcome would be tempting though.

RE: Need Opinions

You're in luck as there's no snow in Mississauga but the grass is rather dormant in the winter.
