An ATOT bachelor party could go well or oh so badly. I predict one of 3 things happen:
1. It's the most boring party ever as everyone is on their smartphones, ipads surfing ATOT and no one knows where to find strippers
2. Crazy good times - everyone gets smashed and 700 internet memes are born
3. Wake up the next morning and find 3 dead hookers to bury, one ATOT member missing a kidney and bulk amounts of jello on the floor
4. Hangover ATOT style... "dude, I'm banned... what happened?"


Most likely the best thing we'd get would be an "Neffing at the bachelor party" thread.
Where everyone there would talk about how awesome the party is while ignoring the fact that it really was awesome they wouldn't be on ATOT.

Judging by your pics, you look to be in your 40's. What took you so long to make the plunge?

*This* is what is great about ATOT, reading stuff like that!
Congrats OP, live happily ever after! :)

Dang yoyo, I suppose it's safe to say we won't be seeing any more engineering challenges until yoyo ma jr pops out? :|

Merde to your endeavors, fine friend.

That's cool it's going well, but I'd not have made marriage something less than a year of knowing a chick that I met at my first attempt of trying to date.

good luck with it.

Thanks for all the congratulations, guys!


I guess I'll write up a response to specific comments / questions in word and paste it in once the forums are back up.

I'm sorry about demystifying the forum experience for you. I hope you don't find the ATOT forum member gallery. Yes, she has a healthy rack.
There's even one more picture that she let me put up for a previous thread.

Out of focus person in 5th picture - That was a new year's eve party at her friend's house... so... one of her friends!


zinfamous
No, Harold the dog doesn't look to impressed in that picture. He's a good guy though. He's taken care of her for 8 years and we seem to get along pretty well too. I take Harold on walks and find 4-leaf (and 5-leaf) clovers with him.

The ring is a 1.32 carat sapphire in a platinum band. It's back at the local jeweler getting a wedding band matched to follow the curvature of the main band.

I made them unlisted as part of the OkCupid thing... figured they were too far on the embarrassing side.

At the zoo I worked as part of the gardening crew for a summer job several summers (planting flowers, cutting down trees, watering flower beds, feeding animals from certain trees I cut down, etc.)
5 years ago, HomeBrewerDude got in contact with me after he found out I was in Madison. He hired me as a student hourly employee as I was just starting my Elementary Education degree (I started out in computer/electrical engineering and ended up graduating a couple years ago with an Elementary Education degree with a minor in Physics). I didn't end up with a teaching job, but HomeBrewerDude hired me for a full time position after I graduated. So... no formal econometric training or degree, but those are the kind of concepts I'm explaining out in the field. I think when it comes to relating to teachers and explaining concepts that it helps to have my particular background.


The Dude8
I suppose L&R would be another place for it, but I saw it more as a happy announcement I wanted to give to ATOT, since I know a lot of people in this section.


Aikouka
Yeah, I had a great experience with OkCupid. Since then, I've recommended it to a few other people. In fact, a co-worker of mine (who will be doing the catering at the wedding) met a great guy after I told her to sign up for it too.


DaTT
Nope, no Ogame account, but I did explain it to her and told her to keep an eye on me to make sure I never get obsessed with a huge time sink like that again.
She has played a few computer games in her time though (Neverwinter Nights, Age of Empires, etc.)


ProfJohn
We're closing on a house in less than a week. One of the projects will be taking half of the unfinished basement area and making a modest movie room out of it. I'm not looking forward to moving all the stuff though.
Oh, and yes, Harold is very protective of her.


SSSnail
I think we'll try for kids of our own first.


Zifnab
I don't think my sister's looking to settle down quite yet.

DrPizza
Baby names aren't quite on the radar yet. I have a feeling she won't be up for "minipizza" though, sorry.



Gray hair comments:
Yep, I have it. I'm 27. It started a few years ago.


brainhulk
bachelor party is being planned by a few co-workers I think. Last I heard it might be paintball (I've never tried it before).


Exoterous
ATOT bachelor party sounds scary.


wischeez
Yes, the new house will be in Madison. Plan to stay here for a long time... we've both been living here since 2002.


gaidensensei
Engineering challenges lost some appeal when nobody else was participating. It was very fun when it was going on though. I've been pretty consumed with work, wedding planning, and house purchasing lately, so free time is in short supply. I have a feeling that's not going to change any time soon.

I didn't mean to imply this was my first attempt to date. My first long term relationship lasted 4.5 years, 3.5 for the next one, and this is the third one. The other ones never felt like this.

Don't listen to the bs. I knew about a month in my wife was the one for me. Whenever you know you just know. Btw it's been over 10 years since so suck it haters. Don't let anyone or anything get between y'all. Good luck and congrats from a stranger that just wishes you well.

Congratulations!

Just the other day I was wondering where you had gone to. Good to see you didn't drop off of the Earth.

Lot of little yo-yo's running around soon! :biggrin: (or at least up-down-up-down trying to make them...er...winding up and down of the yo-yo of course).

That's smart. Both you guys are definitely 'lookers' so it'd suck if either of you jumped into something just because the relationship fell in your laps.

Too many people do this instead of just getting out and 'hunting' prospects :)
