Mrs Git and I celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary today.  We're going out for a big pig-out.
Mrs Git has been a wonderful wife and we're still as as happy as we were, even though the relationship has changed enormously.

Congratulations!!!

I second Tank's opinion.

Have a good pig-out!

Congrats to OG and Mrs. OG.

I'd be privileged to buy you both a celebratory drink if only I were nearby.  If you ever holiday in Florida I will make good on that promise. Cheers anyway.

Congratulations, OldGit:hug:
It makes me happy to hear both of you are happy. Relationships do change enormously over the years, don't they? Some can't adapt to the changes all of us go through as we get older. But to be able to stay in a happy relationship with your best friend for 45 years is priceless.   :smilenod:

FedEx Home tracking showed my graphics tablet delivered to my door 30 minutes before I got home. It wasn't there. They opened a case. I remained calm, as I was sure there was an error. A few hours later, UPS delivered it! Right after I closed the door, FedEx called. I let them know. The agent said she had no idea what happened, even though it was obvious. LOL

I talked to the wife of the person who previously ran FedEx Home here the last time something went wrong. She said she hears it all the time now. I wish I could specify a different carrier. The last time I saw such unprofessionalism was with the USPS. I called up a head honcho. Shortly after that, the USPS added complimentary insurance. LOL

Yay! We're about 14 years in (still shacked up). Fortunately, we have similar mental disorders (sensitive people brought up in insensitive environments). That's been a boon and a roller coaster. The hardest part has been dealing with her 2nd latency period. She assures me that it's almost over (from what she's read), and that I won't be able to keep her off me.

Amazon UK used to use a company called Yodel.

It took literally hundreds of complaint reviews before they dropped this company. Stuff was thrown over walls, left outside the door on public pavements, not left at all but logged as delivered . . . Then Amazon got their own system. I had something logged by them as delivered at a time when I was home that was not so. It was not signed for so no idea where it went, I know my immediate neighbours. Complained, got another delivery, OK. Two months later same item turned up at the local click-and-collect point.

It was some expensive books that I bought as a gift for the local school's new photography group. Told Amazon, they said, "Keep them". So I did!

I quit my overnight stocking job in just a little less than a week! Then I get to go back to being a normal day person!

(Well, normal doesn't describe me or my life very well, but at least it will in this case!)
