OK..shell breaking time

[Darrad]

The moderator guy said the 10 post minimum was an attempt to prompt people out of they're shells, right? So, here's my feeble attempt.

Boyfriend and I have been together for 11 years now and I can't even remember our last argument. Believe it or not...we never argue! It's hands down the best relationship of my entire life. I think the secret is to both like and enjoy the same things or at least some of the same things. For us...that would be casino's, beer (Especially Shiner Bock!) We like to try all kinds of craft beers but Shiner is our staple and has been for 11yrs.
We also have a lot of fun with B Horror movies. Every year we go to Dallas to the Texas Frightmare Festival. Total blast! Lots of crazy people there half our age....Lol

Between the casino breaks, bars, and horror cons, we have to unfortunately work. I am a retail merchandiser and Bert is an IT network administrator for a Resort called Artesian Lakes. His job is cool! He has beautiful scenery all around him. Fun fact: we know of ..at least two horror movies filmed out there. Spirit Camp and Pick Axe Murders 3. BTW...there was never a 1 or 2 of pick axe murders...they just went straight for the third. Lol

I have two grown children and so does Bert. None of them live with us (thank God!) but all are doing fine.

So anyway...there's our breakdown. I personally think I should be given 2 or 3 posts JUST for this long revealing one!

What does everybody DO on here?! Surely your not all independently rich! (???)

I think telling us a little about yourself is a great way to get your post count up!

I've been married for 13 years (October). Have a little girl the age of 5 named Lacey. I'm the general manager for a commercial cleaning company and my wife is the manager of a self storage facility. She doesn't really like to gamble but she puts up with me doing it lol. No locals for me so I take the drive to Biloxi every few months.

ReelEmIn...I like your signature lol.

It sounds like beer and your relationship are two great things! Like they say, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it. Yeah, the key is having very similar interests. And I agree, you should get lots of post credits for this post! But it is very simple just like Sondor said. Just post "Nice win", Happy birthday", "that meal looks great", etc. and you will be there in no time.

I am multi-millionaire and I made my fortunes on the slots at .80 per spin. But seriously I work for one of the nations largest banks. Have a great schedule that I was able to set, and a great group of folks that I work with.

Welcome to JWE @Darrad! Very happy to get to know you

I am sure people are sick of hearing my story, but here goes I'm a retired air traffic controller, so far from independently wealthy, but I do okay. I love to travel, and luckily my husband still works (from home). He's an Escalation Manager for a big ass company that does computer security for major banks, airlines, and stuff. Honestly, I don't understand what it is that he does, but I nod my head sympathetically when the shit hits the fan for him. Which is pretty much daily. We have 2 sons that grew up and moved away, one in San Francisco and one in San Antonio, They are quite awesome if I do say so myself We miss them so they have been replaced with 3 dogs that are a bigger pain in the ass than my boys ever were!

I am also a fan of Shiner Bock but it's very difficult to find up here. Yummy!
