Oh I'm working on it. I fiddle around in the shop, learning some really basic skills but getting there.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay. That's great. What moment in your life do you think had it been any different, you wouldn't be where you are today?

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, another interesting question. There are so many. I think the night I meet my wife at the instigation of some friends would be one of those. My life certainly changed significantly then.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, how long have you and your wife been together?

Okay, i think I have a guess now. I might be severely undershooting or overshooting based on the information, but i think you're: 49

This has been a ton of fun. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I was very careful in my answers, hoping not to give too much away. I think I was mostly successful.

I'm pretty impressed at the 49 number though!

You're actually 12 years too young. I just celebrated birthday 61.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad you enjoyed participating :D

Yeah i think you were successful too, because 61 is insane. How on Earth are you 61? All your answers sound younger than 61

I'll take that as a compliment! I've had the same job since December 2001. My first marriage lasted over 20 years. My second is at 12 already. Three sons, one daughter, a wife who's a career soldier, means we move a lot.

4 kids!! Congrats man. I guess if i knew you had remarried i could've been more spot on haha

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That would have been a giveaway.
