Happy Anniversary from all of us!
Happy Anniversary!
Three years? WOW!
Time flies when you're reading Althouse.
Wasn't reading Althouse back then. But congrats, anyway!
Congrats , Meadhouse!
The traditional 3rd anniversary gift is leather. You two have fun and don't forget the "safe word".
Congratulations to you both!
Happy anniversary, Althouse!
ALH, noticed it was the leather year too.
But what to do with all of year two's cotton undies?
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary and Best Wishes for many, many more happy years together.

Happy anniversary to my favorite http://www couple and one of my favorite nonfictional love stories.
Sincere congratulations!
Meade and Althouse were married on a mountaintop, but for three trivia points, who was BORN on a mountaintop?
I got this wrong, btw.
This remains one of the coolest things ever to happen on the Internet. What else competes, really?
who was BORN on a mountaintop?
Was it in Tennessee?
May you have many more happy years together.
Well, yeah, Rabel, I thought it was in Tennessee. And as it turned out, it was that little fact, which I tried to verify on Wikipedia, that led me to the reason for my own error.
Many congrats and fivewheels is right.
By sharing your joy, that joy was spread among your readers and multiplied.
That you celebrate your love every day makes the blog one of the nicest places in the blogosphere.
Many more years of happiness to you both.
Happy Anniversary!
Three years, congratulations, where does the time go?
"Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, the sweetest state in the land of the free!
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!"
Can't believe I didn't have to look that up.
Happy Anniversary! I have fond memories of our 3rd anniversary, 36 years ago. May you both get to celebrate many, many more, too.
Congratulations... Many Happy Returns.
Its earliest attributable use was by Lady Newdigate in a letter written in 1789 (and published in Newdigate-Newdegate Cheverels in 1898) [1]
"Many happy returns of ye day to us my Dr Love"
The letter is written in London on the 31st of May 1789 by lady Hester Margaretta Mundy Newdigate to her husband, Sir Roger Newdigate, 5th Baronet, and refers to a wish for their wedding day.
For better and for worst... Althousian looks up a greeting on the Wikipedia ;)
Sincerest congrats. The photos in that stream are beautiful.
Three years already? Wow! I've been hanging around here way too long.
Congrats to the lovely couple. :)
Killed himself a Baar when he was only three,
Davey, Davey, Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
Congratulations to one of the most in-teresting couples I know, virtually or in the real world.
I haven't scrolled down the posts yet, but I'm hoping you've posted something about the alternate-reality had-Kennedy-lived thought experiment from earlier in the day. I'm curious to see what the two of you came up with.
Congrats. You complement each other beautifully on blog. I think the word is "transactional."
Mazeltov!
Congratulations, and best wishes for a very Happy Anniversary!
Happy Ann adversary
now wait I mean anniversary. I read about this whole thing in a couple places.
Holy cow, 3 years? Seems like yesterday. Congratulations!
ps. Same day as Stephen Green? Coincidence?
Ha ha Laughing at myself samanthasmom and rcocean. I mean I was singing the song, with words! And got them all right except for "Davy Crockett".
I was belting out "Daniel Boone"!
And I even know why I did that. lol
When I was TV surfing last night, I came up on a 50's/60's? episode of "Daniel Boone" and was just curious enough to see how a favorite show back then would suit me fifty years later.
Surprise! Suited just fine. Which I suppose tells me that I haven't changed much, except for adding on years. The values I admired then, are the same values I hold dear today.
Just didn't help with the trivia question, dammit. lol
Cheers to the dynamic duo!
Just remember what the old mathematician said, Ann: "Two can live as cheaply as one...half as long." Fair Winds and Following Seas!"

Congratulations!
Some of those old pictures are beautiful, especially those with the rain clouds, like Levitan's painting.
Happy Anniversary, gorgeous scenery, wonderful love story and beautiful rings , many many more years of marital bliss, good health and great blogging is my wish for you both, Ann and Meade!
Happy anniversary!
You (points at you two lovebirds).
I just learned here that the third anniversary is leather, which must explain the flattened, drying animal corpse in your photostream.
It's touching to think that you are making your gifts from scratch, rather than going all commercial with store bought leather.
You (points at you two lovebirds, while nodding in slow motion)
Points!
I just said that hoping that Titus would stop by to say what he usually says.
TITS!
Happy anniversary, Ann and Meade!
"You (points at you two lovebirds, while nodding in slow motion)"
And UnBuck's just DARING Chip to work his magic.
Getting pretty demanding here...for a Friday night.
But, hey!
It's Meadehouse's LEATHER anniversary.
Me?
Just come for the "dressage". ;)
Happy Anniversary!!
So, anyway, back to that episode of Daniel Boone.
Boone is taking provisions to the people who holed up on the other side of the mountain. Later, called Boonesboro. He promised them he would be back with the things they needed to make a new life for themselves.
It seemed that all the wagon train travelers shared that goal.
NOT TRUE!
One guy, who had saved Boone's life twice, and ditto in return...so now they are even, if neither an "even Steven", but you get the set up here.
Well, the other guy got to figuring that if he sold the provisions to someone willing to pay a lot more for them, that he just might get rich. And if he's lucky enough, there would still be enough left over to buy provisions for Boone to take to the settlement.
He kept saying, "Dan, you know me. I'm a gambler".
Almost expected Kenny Roger's song of similar topic to be played in the background, but it was the 50's, so...Have to wait a decade for THAT classic, cowboys and cowgirls.
This is when Boone goes all serious on this man who he thought was his friend.
"I gave my word to these people, that I would bring back the things they need to survive and prosper. By staying where they were, in the outpost, they were risking their lives, and on my word alone.
They're my people. I'm nothing if not good for my word, and now we're a community."
Whew! Powerful moment.
Here's how it ends. Gambler wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and Boone was going to be good on his word.
BANG!
Seemed harsh at the time, but show's only a half hour, so, hey.
Did you guys have sex before you were married?
Can you still have sex?
Are hard ons or female orgasm's even in the picture?
Or is it all about bicycle rides and politics?
tits.
I knew it would last.
Happy anniversary!
Happy blessings on another prime anniversary!
Happy happy anniversary! May you have many more happy, healthy, prosperous years together!
Hope it was a great day in a great life.
Speaking of which, thank you for including us in The Adventures of Meadehouse.
Many of us grew up with Dick and Jane.
Now we have Meade and Anne.
Best Wishes,
The Boone story goes to show you should always be extra special respectful around the Scotch-Irish, right tradguy?
Congrats M/A. Wow, three years. Scary how fast time goes.
Doesnt seem like three years--congratulations, and many more happy anniversaries.
Happy Anniversary!!!

Congratulations you two.
Titus,
I am of a similar age as Meadehouse, but in dating mode. The sex gets better with age because one substitutes frequency for quality. Don't be an ageist! :).
Happy Anniversary to you!
Isn't love grand?
Thanks for all the kind expressions, everyone. Getting old together rocks - with great bursts of laughter, conversation, and affection - both care filled and carefree.
Thanks for being here with us in your own unique way.
Happy anniversary!
It seems like only yesterday...
Mr. Meade & Mrs. Althouse;
Congratulations! I've often thought 'what a looker' when I see pics of Ann, and even better, a good conservative & right-thinking law prof at UW MADISON???? You two are a fascinating pair and one of my first stops every day when gathering news. Mazaltov. Here's to two of the fairest and most well-thought-out people I have had the pleasure of encountering in one form or another. Cheers!
Sweet. Congrats!
May the honeymoon continue.
'grats! Hope ya'll continue to live happily ever after.
I was just razzing them. Congrats. You two look great together.
I was probably thinking of myself, and when the day cums when I can get it up. Then what? Death. Dear God, I can't even think about that-so depressing. I saw an old queen mesmerized by the cafe clerk this morning and thought that's my future. Always looking never touching.
tits.
Davy Crockett was actually born in a cabin beside a creek, in a valley, not on a mountain top. The cabin still stands. It's in a state park.
Congratulations!
I think it is cool that when Glenn says "Happy anniversary to Ann and Meade", everybody knows who he is talking about!
One of the wonderful things about the blog community.
I want to see the yearly announcements from each of your "first" marriages and know what they mean or meant to you. When you bailed on them, did you send out announcements saying, "Ha-ha - fooled you!" or did you slink into the dark, hoping time will do wonders for the memory? Or your character?
Don't answer, I know. You're so brave.
Anyway, congratulations - the charade continues - happily, for what that's worth. And just as getting divorced increases the likelihood those around you would do so as well (another unannounced accomplishment) you two representatives of the marriage-can-be-what-you-want meme will be the first couple I contact once your example makes me consider that move for myself - which will happen, as I promised, ONLY after the lawnmower starts by having my dick in her tank and not a moment sooner.
Giving your word has to mean something around here.
Wait, sorry - I forgot who I'm talking to - no it doesn't.
Your word - even when spoken on a mountaintop - can mean whatever frickin' thing you want.
Because it's all about you and always will be, Oh Great Baby Boomers, until the day you die.
Then things can get back to normal around here,...
"Oh Great Baby Boomers"
Don't kid yourself. We're not that great.
Cracky, you are getting to be fucked up. Yeah, they're each divorced and now married to each other. Triumph of hope over experience.
What do you want them to do? Die? Scourge themselves daily? Get divorced? Just be miserable the rest of their lives knowing they haven't lived up to your standards? Exactly what can they do to please you, satisfy you, shut you up?
Nothing, right? So might as well ignore you.
BTW are you divorced from the murderess, or still hitched?
Oops. Without the "e."
12:34 AM -- which was 1:34 AM where I am.
I blame Bush.
Happy anniversary!
