I grew up at the beach so no snow for me as a kid. We had sleds with wheels called Flexy Fliers. They were totally unsafe. Leading with your head and no real braking power once you got moving. The crazy things we used to do as kids!

My parents would not miss it either and I had to watch it because my dad wanted me to play my accordion like Myron Floren. Damnit, I still play the thing.

I have to say, I'm not into the bondage. Never had to tie someone up to get what I wanted.....and if someone has to tie me up to get what they want, it obviously isn't what I want.....and they better hope like hell they aren't around when I get free. 3 Days has seemed like an eternity.

I also grew up with Flexible Flyer sleds.

You know you are old when you didn't have to wear a helmet to have fun like that!

And to add to this, there was the HORRIBLE Motorcraft VV (variable venturi) carb that was worthy of nothing more than a garbage can.

So ironic but I also have never been into bondage of any sort but just the other evening the wife was in a rare mood and wanted to " experiment " soooo of course try we did.

Grabbed a few neckties that hasn't been worn in God knows how long and taadaaa " bondage " was the theme for the evening!!

She enjoyed it a lot more than I thought she would and not for nothing so did I!!!!

Apologies to everyone in advance if this was TMI

Not a chance in hell. From a business mindset, there is no favorable outcome to marriage. "Here, allow me to give you half of my assets because you or I no longer want to be together. Also, let's involve legal counsel, the state and insert whatever religious classification you fall under here. All in the name of having some company." No thanks. Been there twice. I'd rather walk off a cliff. Getting married is like building a skyscraper in a swamp; it's a lot of work, it may look great, but you're building your permanent future on a foundation that is anything but solid. Want validation? Go ask any woman what she wants to eat. Hell, go ask her what color the sky is. I guarantee you her initial response will be anything other than the color blue.....and I'm expected to spend the rest of my life with someone who will eventually resent me? Nah, I've already got two kids who do a great job of that. Not to mention 3 days is bad streak for me......yeah....F marriage.

Consider yourself lucky. My divorce dragged on for two years. He took me to the cleaners. The court officers let out audible gasps when the terms were read. It will get better. Hang in there. Good luck.

Neither of us had anything when we got married back in the mid 80s so no prenup. Fast forward, he was awarded lifetime alimony, the house and everything in it, half my 401k. I made a deal and paid him upfront so he didn’t have his hand in my pocket for the rest of our lives. It baffles me how vengeful someone can get.
