"You're not my wife!" posted by Tball642 - Nov 13, 2014. I finally decided to play WWF and started a game with my wife. About a week later she said she was not playing with me. I asked the person I was playing what her name was and she said Brenda Ball. I asked her maiden name and then said "you're not my wife!" She said "no I'm not". We kept playing and a few months later my wife and I had a business conference in Nashville Tennessee, where she and her husband lived. We met for lunch and became instant friends. My wife and I are health coaches and proceeded to help them lose 115 pounds combined. They are forever grateful and we have new, wonderful, lifelong friends. Thank you WWF!

Looking southwest after sunset while the horizon still glowed yellow and orange, with old farm buildings in the foreground. The roofs and the ground are covered with fresh snow that fell during the day and the night before. The top of an old pear tree is silhouetted against the sky, pointing up toward the crescent Moon and Venus in the darkening blue sky.
