Posts will be sporadic over the next several days as we head to Colorado for my oldest son’s wedding. I’ll be able to post early in the morning and at night, but the days will be busy trucking my mother and mother-in-law on sight seeing trips, along with rehearsals, rehearsal dinners, and the actual wedding. Weather forecast is 79 and sunny for the outdoor wedding on Saturday. I may have to resort to edibles to keep our mothers happy and not complaining.
It seems like just yesterday I was watching Kevin playing tee-ball and taking him to his first hockey practice. Time flies.

Blessings to the newly weds.
Congratulations !!
GREAT song !! I was immediately transported back to the 70’s when life was much simpler.
Thank U !!!
I hope this doesn’t happen.
Safe travels.
If you need dried LDS beans…the Elephant Rocks are a good place to have a pitstop picnic.
More young men should marry and start families of their own.
Congrats to you and yours!
(You’rn…in Southeast Misery dialect.)
Enjoy yourself. Colorado’s still nice if you avoid Denver. -0351 forgot my name. And congratulations.
Did you not advise your son of the trap he is walking into? He will be in court in just a few short years. Guaranteed!
I downvoted you because you’re a prick !
Statics show it’s about 50-50, and just throwin stumblin blocks in front of them is kin to pullin wings off a fly……..
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——==
I think it was Fleabaggs that said he must have gotten divorced 700 times in the first year of marriage….or something close. I'll put my money on this one sticking.
Good luck to you and yours'…… young Mr. Quinn !
Here you go dumbass!
The Statistic
The 2015 study looked at more than 2,000 heterosexual married couples over the course of five years (between 2009 and 2015) and found that women initiated divorce 69 percent of the time. On a similar note, research published by Rosenfeld in 2017 outlines that in non-marital heterosexual relationships, both men and women are equally likely to end relationships, indicating that there is something about the institution of marriage driving the gender gap in filing for divorce.

How does it feel to look so stupid?
Any moose….
You said:
“Did you not advise your son of the trap he is walking into? He will be in court in just a few short years. Guaranteed!”
GUARANTEED !
I said:
“Statics show it’s about 50-50….”
Then youwho said:
“and found that women initiated divorce 69 percent of the time.”
GUARANTEED is what you said. Do the math………and the answer is “you’re still a prick”
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<<<———==
I feel fine, smarter than you, and vindicated by your own stats and words…
Sceered a losin your stuff ? Maybe your 'x' took all your mirrors when he left you?
Sicario, are you bridezillas Irish? Let’s have some composure for a change.
My brother got married to a corn fed white girl from Nebraska. But that’s not the point here. When his daughter got married to a boy there, (they are Germans there, you know what that means, Nazis) they had an outdoor wedding and had set up picnic tables and chairs for the outdoor dinner. The boy’s father thought he’d be funny denying my mom entry to the dinner buffet. My sisters took my mom somewhere else. Martha (not her real name) begged them not to leave – he thinks he’s being funny. They left anyway because they were hungry and pissed off. I said if I’d been there, I would have started flipping tables.
EC ? Primo ?
Two things about posting when you’re around:
a- I chuckle a fair amount
b- I search “spell ………” more than a fair amount.
Yeah, I agree. I’m no angel, so I figure it’s ok if I’ve been rude to my mother but no one else will be allowed to.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<<—-==
A retired AF colonel, then selling insurance, told me how to guard against poverty in marriage. He said for the first five years of marriage put a dime in a jar every time we did the deed. From then on, take a dollar out every time…..he said I'd never run out of money.
He should have married an enlisted gal.
Navy or AF?
If I’d been there, I would probably have been serving the people at the tables. We had deli sandwiches, potato chips, potato salad and a big yellow cake my mother made and frosted. (I think Nick’s mother was in shock.)
I would not have known how to act if my inlaws had thrown one of their big shindigs for us. My husband’s cousin spent $20,000 on his daughter’s wedding. The groom’s family helped with the REST.
It was amazing.
Still mad you didn’t invite me.
women initiated divorce 69 percent of the time
That validates Captain Larson’s claim that when a couple gets divorced, it’s the woman’s fault. Thanks!
Go fuck yourself you bitter prick.
Many of the people on this site have been happily married for decades. Projecting your failure on all men shows what a dick you are.
I hope you are gaining a daughter in law, it often happens that you lose a son. However, because my wife is Salvy, we keep gaining – we got the daughter in law and her family and friends.
——————————————–
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
I got a tribe.
Paula?
Lol… nah. The kid and the worry. Lol… Paula is a blessing. Only person more hick than me I call friend.
Hard to come by at my age.
Viva Cristo Rey!
You must be the one who is bitter. If you really loved your son you would talk some sense into him of this trap laid before him. Did you advise him to get a vasectomy? Probably not, since you didn’t have the fatherly fortitude to warn him of the dangers of marrying an American feminazi.
Hollywood is still projecting like an old Bell & Howell . It’s you who’s bitter, Bozo.
And you’re gone motherfucker.
A friend of mine just recently divorced, wait for it, wait for it, initiated by the cunt wife. She fucked him over good.
Carry on. …
Congratulations to your son and soon to be daughter-in-law.
If you get a chance, I would highly recommend a trip to see the Aspens. Four years ago last week, after our grand-daughter’s wedding, we took a trip to see them and it was stunning.
From t-ball to nupitals. It really did go by quick. I liked Bill Murray’s quote in the movie “Lost in Translation” about the initial terror of having kids:
“Your life, as you know it… is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk… and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.”
Indeed.
Congratulations and don’t forget to enjoy every single minute.
nuptials
Hey, I tried out the “free the nip” thing and got sunburned areolas. Should I complain to that judge in Ft. Collins or site Admin here if I end up with sun damaged nips. Seriously, I would NEVER have done such an idiotic thing if I hadn’t read it here.
So… who is to blame? The judge for the ruling or Admin for publishing?
Did you use sunscreen on said aureolas? Hey, are they pointing upwards like nkit’s posted “angry aureolas” last Friday? I saw a poster for Anjelina’s new Maleficent movie and they apparently are using the same angry aureolas to add to the evil.
Lol
Okay, I’ll ask it.
Prenup?
as valuable as this blog is that he’s gonna inherit Soon,let’s hope so–
we don’t want a fox news scenario on tbp–
My sarcastic point- don’t let her get the dog, the house, the kids, and the BLOG!
Here is a quote from Adrian Rogers:
Girls have a tendency to marry men like their fathers. That is why mothers cry at weddings.
Best, and congratulations!
Don Admin, Congratulations on the marriage of your son.
I’m honored to be among friends in celebration of this wedding.
May their first child be a MASCULINE child.
Hope the weather is as forecast. My parents used to get Denver tv stations as their “local” feed (podunk cable system in rural Oregon) and noted it seemed each day’s 5 day forecast was often totally different than the last.
Congratulations on the nuptials. Great to see new families forming.
Have a great time and congrats to the couple!Yes,the logistics really do seem crazy for what should be a simple affair but will be done with before you know it and good memories and a new future remain.
Despite it’s politics Co. is a great state with a lot of good people,have a lot of friends that way and made many more at the many concerts in Red Rocks,have fun.
On a side note,with less posting will me more time to engage in frays in the comment sections,let the fun begin and release the frogs of war!
Good luck seriously. If she joins the 69% of Feminist losers, consider marrying a good traditional foreign woman.
I hope you and your family have the best of time.I wish your son all the happiness
This life has to offer. Marriage is a blessing from the Lord. So be safe and watch out for other drivers .God Bless you and your
Family and Your new Family.
Have a wonderful time, sir admin! None of us should ever stop growing, nor our families and that’s what this is all about! New growth… ?
May their union be complete in Christ.
Greetings GCP…
A fantastic read ! I hope young Quinn and his new bride will read what you have offered !
There were a number of different quotes I could have pulled from your article to make my point.
“Not that a human man might ever be equal with God, or have to follow Christ to His cross; but we are admonished to let such a mind be in us, serving our fellow believers and most importantly, our wives. A man must love his wife and put her well being above all else and above all others; come what may.”
“……come what may.”
I have spoken to the plenary of the Word with you in the past. I really wrestled with the whole Eve being enticed to partake, and then ‘how could Adam have been tricked by her?’ question. The plenary being the point that Adam ‘knew’, but that he loved Eve sooooo much, that he gave up his life for her; and ate of the fruit.
He KNEW !!
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——-==
Again, great read !
Thanks sir ordo! Was Adam “tricked”, did he “love Eve as Christ so loved the church, giving himself” or… did he simply display the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life that Eve already succumbed to? Two verses…
1 Timothy 2:14 KJB… “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”
Romans 5:17 (a) KJB… “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;…”
Love is not ever an “offense”. Adam knew, of course, but his motives were far less than honorable. He too thought being “like the gods” (lucifer and those with him) would be a pretty good idea., as did Eve. She was deceived, Adam, undeceived, ate willingly, defiantly.
We were in direct defiance of Him from the beginning.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<——-==
“Back To The Future!”
Thank God the church which is His body will not be here!
GCP….
Again, with scripture you defend your position admirably !
In all we have discussed, I have been aligned 100% with you. I would take slight exception on this matter, slight enuff that I still see 100% agreement, know what I mean? Maybe you can help me reconcile a bit more…..(I’ll be short, not ‘catty’)
“Love is not ever an “offense””……So NAMBLA is okay? Homosexuality, trans, etc etc..?
“……but his motives were far less than honorable” How could we possibly know his motives? Adam was made perfect, right? Meaning without sin. So was Eve, until the nacash deceived her in his magnificence. Eve partook, but until Adam did, he did not know the lust of the flesh, the eyes, or pride, did he? (almost a chicken or the egg question?)
The First Adam, and the Second Adam…..??
I most certainly understand ‘defiance’, as I’ve got several decades of training in that area. And even as I finish typing this, I doubt I will be able to support with scripture my thoughts that Adam did it out of love. He had been living, named all the creatures etc.; fell into a deep sleep and woke no longer alone, but with a companion ‘of his own kind’…..
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<———==
I hope this makes a little sense, as I'm still on some pretty strong pain dope and have had even less sleep than the little I usually get. Forgive me if I'm comin across a bit more loopy than I normally do…..
Congrats to you and Avalon, Jim. Best of luck to Kevin and his new bride. May they prosper and share a life of joy, children and happiness.

Have a gooooooood time. Just wait till you have grandkids. Seriously, it is great. And then you die.
All possible Blessings and joy to all. Word of caution about the edibles. I have heard of people eating them (I have not) and “nothing happened.” So they take another one and an hour later everything gets weird and they spend the next ten hours in sheer terror and panic thinking they are going to die. Maureen Down wrote an article about this. Have an awesome and amazing time but just stick to Coors.
Coors?Try the fat tire beer made there among many other good ones,a bit pricey but hey,tis a celebration!As for ingesting too much know a few folks back in their heyday of mispent youth in the late 70’s took some pieces of paper,nothing after 2 hours and tried another,10 minutes later the first kicked in!
Fat Tire is possibly the worst beer I have ever had, but that is just my opinion. That’s why they make so many different ones. I tried it on draft FWIW. The TV detective Bosch (Titus Welliver) on Amazon Prime always orders it so it undoubtedly has adherents. I’m so old that in my youth one of the biggest scores was when a guy would somehow get Coors brought to Illinois by truck drivers or vacationers. They had 11 and 15 oz.bottles. Now it’s everywhere and I haven’t had one in decades. Reminds me I have to go grab a couple of 12’s of Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I drink half of it over the course of the year and use half to make batter for chicken or cod. Cheers!
HR,I remember when Coors was a “import”,damn,just aged meself!I have not had a tire in years so not sure how they are now,last time there was tanking on Red Stripe!
Safe travels to you and many blessings to your newlyweds
My Mom And Dad’s Wedding song. I wish your son and his betrothed have a wonderful life, as did my folks.
Congratulations Quinn’s!
Congrats to the new couple! I wish them health, wealth and happiness. At my wedding the judge read this, I hope you like it.
Apache Wedding Prayer
Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there will be no loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.
May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead
and through all the years.
May happiness be your companion,
and your days together be good and long upon the earth.
Treat yourselves and each other with respect,
and remind yourselves often of what brought you together.
Give the highest priority to the tenderness,
gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves.
When frustration, difficulty and fear
assail your relationship – as they threaten all relationships
at one time or another –
remember to focus on what is right between you,
not only the part which seems wrong.
In this way, you can ride out the storms
when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives
– remembering that even if you lose sight of it
for a moment, the sun is still there.
And if each of you takes responsibility
for the quality of your life together,
it will be marked by abundance and delight.
