Wow, stalker pm's to new female atot members really works after all. :Q:p;)

Congrats hotchic and linuxboy, here's a toast!! ::wine::thumbsup:

If I'm not mistaken hotchic, you mentioned a few years ago you were moving from a small town in CA to somewhere...now was that related to your relationship with linuxboy?

Congrats :)

You've got definitely more guts than I do to be engaged without meeting the person first.

Best of wishes for the future :beer:

What can be set to human thoughts in what the common seeks cannot so easily be true. Indeed, it seems to me that the deepest and most profound exists in that space between words and thoughts, in that space between when you know she will smile and know exactly why.

How can anything make sense in this crazy world, my good sir, except for love?

Cheers ! :)

:confused:

Good to reminisce at times.

What love may fuel the fire that does not end?
That from within renews itself again
Whose constant lights in dark and day offend
All that is proper, noble, good, and sane
It threatens every moral ever told
That children can survive on bread alone
And live and suffer and with time grow old
Asleep in front of their dead screens and phone
So we became insane to all the world
Banished the lies, unlearned the foolish mess
And like the dancing dervishes we whirled
This decade now with all its Cheers! and stress
May I and what I add be set ablaze
For all that is to come, and all our days.

Cheers ! :)

We broke up and married our other now-selves. The ones who grew up from the selves we were to the selves we became. Messy divorce. The goats got everything.

For a more serious and less obscure answer: we worked our butts off, moved away from the city, and are enjoying a more quiet life in the country :)
