You mean you don't get discounted rides etc. for being a pilot??? That is not nice. 🙁 Well, you could just use a limo instead of a helicopter. That should be somewhat cheaper, I guess.

Well, I do actually... I can use the JetRanger for $375/hr for personal use. I don't remember off hand what the 407 runs, it is so much I never bothered to ask. 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

We just went out to celebrate, or at least a mini celeberation...

We met at the local dive for drinks for about an hour... Walking in and seeing her again reminded me all over again why I love her...

Well, yea, I know... but he suggested it out of kindness and I didn't want to shoot that idea down too hard. 🙂

BTW: -5,000,000 Grasshopper points for Palek, since he called it a "chopper" not once, but TWICE

Amen to that.

Saying what she's thinking, and not expecting you to be a mind-reader = PRICELESS!!! 😀

What? Run away from her? Never! I love her too much, in it though thick and thin, good times and bad, for better or worse, till death do us part, and all that jazz... 🙂

HEEYYYY!!! Unless you can show some proof that you're an authorized Grasshopper Points dealer, gimme back my points!!!

What's wrong with "that word" anyway? Care to explain?
 
I am always at a lose on how to response when someone announces that they are in engaged.
On one I wish everyone well in what ever they do but on the other hand I have always considered marriage to
be one of the more unpleasant rings of Dante's hell.

good luck

BTW, I am missing out on something by not exposing my personal life on this forum?

You know,if you're this sweet in real life that poor woman doesn't stand a chance 🙂
 
I think we saw this coming 😉

Surprise her by giving her an engagement ring as her Xmas gift, if you haven't already brought one. The sooner you do it the more of a surprise it will be. Hell, take off today from work and go buy her one!

Oh, so in other words, "Congrats" and "My condolances" at the sametime? 😀

Shucks... 😛

She has no idea what she's in for, is that what you're saying? I'd have to agree with you!

A little obvious, was it?

If so, why didn't anyone tell me? 🙂

/me <- always the last to know these things

Oh, I have no idea how I'm going to afford that... I'm without a job right now and that is going to be expensive. 🙁

I'm sure I'll figure something out, to be sure. But you're right, sooner would be better than later. I won't wait until April, that would be too obvious.

Perhaps Christmas would be the right time, I just will have to find a way to pay for it. Perhaps I should start one of those "savekaryn" type web sites? Would anyone here toss in something to the "Grasshopper Engagement Ring Fund"? 😀
