Lionel, 99, and his wife Ellen Buxton, 100, met in March 1930, married on July 18th 1936 and have been inseperable ever since.
The couple, together a total of 82 years, have not spent more than one night apart.
Upon speaking of their marriage, Ellen says:
“We have never been apart really and have never wanted anyone else. We have been married happily because we have been good friends as well as husband and wife.
We have always made sure we have had nice evenings out together. Whether it is going for a romantic meal or out to play bingo
‘We are more in love now than ever. We keep each other going.”
The worst feeling is knowing that you’re somebody’s whole world, but you can’t even stand them.
They cry tears of joy when you come off the plane, and they hate to see you leave. But, you’re so much better off without them.
Sometimes, I just wish things could have ended differently with us.
Because if they had, I doubt we would be as fucked up as we are…
That just as easily as I walked into my life, You’ve kicked me out.
And it breaks my heart to know that for someone who was a big part of my life at one point in time, and who I’ve left reminiscence of in my day to day life just simply deleted everything that was once “us”.
I still have all of our pictures, all of our inside jokes, everything.
And you’ve kept absolutely nothing.
And even though I left you, it absolutely breaks my heart to know that as easily as I walked into your life, you’ve deleted me from it…
The sad part is, you’re not even mature enough to be friends, and that absolutely kills me…
Guy #1: The guy , that is so sweet too you. He gives you Good Morning texts & Good Night texts. He tries so hard to get your attention , he says the sweetest things and would do the sweetest thing for you. He tries to prove to you that he’s for real. He answers your text right away , he calls you. He shows that he really wants you. He would do whatever - say whatever to make you happy. Yet he’s the guy most girls don’t want cause he’s so easy to get. You can’t say that’s messed up or i’m wrong. Cause you know i’m right , we don’t give those guys a chance we just keep them around just to have someone there. Or go to them for comfort or use them as a rebound or we just ignore them.
Guy #2: The guy , that likes to say the sweetest things but he leaves you unsure about things. You can tell his playing around but sometimes you can’t. It’s hard to get his attention. He doesn’t give you the time of the day , yet when he wants to talk to you he’ll do it whenever. He takes forever to text back and you guys don’t even talk on the phone and if you do its barley. Yet , you try to play around with him too just too show him ” i can play that game to ” - hoping you would even win the game. When he takes long to text back we decided to text back longer just to show him , ” i wasn’t waiting for your text - you can wait for my text now ” . You try to get his attention. You try to play his game hoping you’ll end the game and win the game. You would do anything to get that chance , yet he doesn’t show you exact signs that you might get a chance. It’s a chase with him and lots of us girls like a chase.

1. First Important Lesson - “Know The Cleaning Lady”
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say “hello.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. Second Important Lesson - “Pickup In The Rain”
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read:
“Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband’s bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.”
Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3. Third Important Lesson - “Remember Those Who Serve”
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked. “50¢,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. “Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. “35¢!” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn’t have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4. Fourth Important Lesson - “The Obstacles In Our Path”
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand - “Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.”
5. Fifth Important Lesson - “Giving When It Counts”
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”. Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
Polgamy-
In my opinion, if someone wants to marry multiple people… Let them.
I don’t care if it’s against YOUR religion, or if YOU think it’s wrong.
It’s THEIR life, and they should be left to live it as they please.
Gay Marriages-
In the 1900’s interracial marriages were looked down upon.
Many people said “Let them marry their race, don’t let them marry us!”
With gay or homosexual marriages they’re now saying:
“Don’t let them marry themselves! Let them marry…. Us?”
It again, doesn’t make since, and I again think that if they want to marry people of their same gender, they should be able to because it’s their life, and love is love and they should be able to marry whom they choose.
Bullying Each Other About Height-
I think that it’s the most pointless reason to be mean to someone, over something they can’t control, their genetic make up, and the rate they grow at. And I honestly don’t see why someone would stoop so low to hurt someone.
I think people in general should just mind their own and keep to themselves.
To be continued….
