Garb Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Speaking of women, I have a girlfriend coming over to show me her engagement ring - she was engaged Valentines Day. Say's she dreads planning a wedding - would prefer to just elope. However, her husband to be is a traditional guy - and by traditional, I mean the church and reception thing. This is my friends first marriage - and everlasting one, I pray). Her fiance was married once before, but had it annulled. According to him, and the church, that marriage never happened. Quite frankly, I think that's horse sh*t, but whatever. They are both in the early forties. She says she would feel like a complete moron walking down some ailse like a blushing bride. I can't say that I blame her. Sad part is, her mom has alzheimers and she really has no clue that her daughter - whom she always wanted to see get married - is actually getting married. Anyway, what's wrong with eloping? I think it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just grounded Grant from his Wii all last week. He loves that thing more than life itself. We grounded him and he was upset. The next day he asked to play it and we reminded him that he was grounded. By the second day he had moved on to something else and by the time his grounding was up and we told him he could play his Wii he said okay and went and did something else.

But honestly, I'd love to just go to Vegas. Hell, last time I got married I did it in Vegas, in a helicopter over the strip at midnight. Didn't stick but let's roll the dice again.

Norway'sWaddlingMarmaloof Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Question? Does she fear the cat butt? No at all. She had never had pets at all before but now she loves her some cat-butt. When Goofy Maloof (avatar pic) is in bed with us and his backside is pointed at her face, I sometimes give him a very gently nudge so she gets some star trek door contact.
