I like that ‘putrid princess’. I wonder how much more flesh Miral is going to flay? Bryan took a lot, she won’t have much left. Nothing seems to have brought her to reality yet. Some people are never aware.
Which is to be feared more? Miral’s claws? Or her tongue lashing?
I’ve had NCOs that could tear you apart with a tongue lashing, and not utter swear word one. Linguistic artistry in action, it left one in awe and admiration at the same time it left you feeling lower then whale scat at the bottom of the Marinas Trench.
Call me old fashioned but I still like the idea of two people making a verbal contract in the presence of witnesses. And I have to disagree with the lovely and redoubtable Teresa. Even a bond such as exists between Phil and Kathy can be broken. They tend to wax and wane; to become stronger or brittle over the years and decades. If anything can sustain the relationship it must be the fact that it started wit a close friendship. I say that as one who is now in his 50th year of being married.
Romantic love may fade, but true love and friendship have staying power.
Re your earlier comment, I went and took a look. The white light is simply overpowering the green light of Dagger’s wings.
Yup. Met her in September of ’71; married her in August of ’72. We’ve been “an item” for half a century. Stayed together for the whole richer-poorer (mostly the latter), sickness-health (both of us but more often me), better-worse thing. Even publicly renewed our vows in 07. Both getting old now. Neither one pretty to look at (not that I ever was you understand).
Side note: When I met her in 71 I was a Junior in college and she was a freshman. I had just been dumped a few weeks earlier by the girl I’d been going with since we were both Freshmen in 69. We hadn’t set a date but had started planning the wedding. I wasn’t looking for anything permanent. When I met my wife my first thought was that she was a cute little nothing-head and that I didn’t have to worry about any “long term entanglements”. Yup! “long term entanglements” My exact thoughts. Half a century later . . .

“Princesses” so seldom are.
Hovertext?

Prutrid Little Princess has been added to my lexicon.
Thank You

Fifty years married? Mazal Tov! Congratulations, newlyweds!

Congratulations on your “long term entanglement”. Mine is only 37.
Congratulations and Well Done on your continuing great conversation.
