Valentines Day is also special for me and my DH. He proposed to me on 2/15/91. He said he didnt want to do it on actual valentines day so we could have our own day. He had picked up the ring the weekend before and froze it in an ice cube and then the night after V-Day came home from work and asked me if I wanted a drink. After I finished my drink he offered a refill and said why dont you drink that last little bit and by that time the ice had melted enough for me to see the ring. He did the whole down on one knee thing too. It is a great memory and I would say yes all over again - I definately got one of the good ones!!!!

Oh Ginny and Lisa you guys have the most romantic stories. I had to pull DH kicking and screaming to the altar

That's not the truth of course, but we got engaged at Christmas time and it was a whirlwind of family, not the solo event, romantic event one would hope for.

Funny too, I was engaged before DH and that engagement also happen on Christmas. Kinda weird. Well, I am really glad it was the engagement to my ever-lovin' DH that came off

Just talked to her again. After 12 hours at the airport, they finally decided to cancel her flight. The earliest they can get her on another one is Sat. morning. Only problem is that her return flight leaves SanDiego at 10:30 AM Sat morning.

She's been waiting for her luggage now for about an hour. At first, they weren't even going to unload their luggage. They were going to send their luggage to Ca, let it go unclaimed, then ship it back home and deliver it to the house sometime next week. Gotta love the airlines.

At least she's safe and should be home soon.

Oh Mike, your DW has really been through it today! Maybe an extra-special Valentine's celebration is in order. Glad's she safe.

Hi all ... Just wondering if there are any other Canadians out there. I need to have someone on my side when you all tease me for saying eh!!! ... Come on you know you're going to say it at least once on the cruise.

Lisa .. I know you have been working really hard on the website, by the way it looks great ... thank you, but do you think you could add state (or province in my case) to the list ... It would be nice to see how many states and countries are represented.

Oh my gosh! You guys back east, and in the midwest....stay safe and warm!!! If I could send some of our weather up there, I would.

I've been MIA for a while. Tried to sort of stay up to date, but it isn't easy.

Good to see you again, Stacey!

 

[O'BWV]

Oh wow. I can't even imagine.

Hiya Stacey, long time no talk, how've ya been???

 

[lbgraves]

We had school today..though the weather was aweful/hazardous....I know alot of people called the mayor to complain! His voicemail must have been full!

LOL! I find this funny since the Mayor would have had no say on whether or not the schools were open.

 

[Verandah Man]

Glad your back Andy.

Oh well, I was going to work at home anyways, so I might as well work here and check back periodically to make sure you're behaving.

Who you talkin' 'bout, sweet innocent me???

We're not Canadian but DS loves to say "eh" just like he was one!

 

[O'BWV]

That's what I get for typing with gloves on!!!

Hey Andy, I'm glad you're power's back on! If you guys ever need a place to flop you're always welcome here!

******************************************************************

Update:

Yea, the power came back on around 4:30pm, went back off for about two minutes, then came back on and stayed on, at least for now, LOL!!!

It’s back up to 67* and climbing!!!

Now to go back and see what I missed the past few hours.

Glad that you are warming up. Be sure to bundle up a bit more tonight just in case.

That's OK Andy, my evil twin wont hold it against you. She will deal with Randy.

 

[lbgraves]

Andy glad things are looking better for ya!

BF just called..was let out of work early (had to talk him out of coming to see me!). About 5 min from house got cut off -had a spin out and two cars behind him hit each other due to his spin out! I hate this weather!

you had mentioned earlier about the time your DH was away and how it affected your kids - I can relate: DH spent about 5 to 6 months working in one city while DD and I stayed behind at home..he worked too many hours and we were lucky if we saw him for most of the day Saturday. It really affected our DD terribly - she is so close to him, as I bet yours are close to their dad too! I hope to never have to do that again!!!

The therapist I talked to for DS ended up helping us gain a better perspective on the situation. She said that it is like going thru a divorce to the kids with the same behavioral issues. DS was acting out & had major anger issues because he was keeping it all inside. Once he admitted that he missed Dad & didn't like being the man of the house some of it got better. After DH came home we all had to go thru a reconsiliation. I had to get use to him being here again. DS was directing his anger towards DH but we eventually worked thru it & he realized that he hated Daddy's job...not Daddy. He then got to learn exactly what DH does & how important it is because he makes sure the plane is safe so noone else's Mom or Dad get hurt. I told him how hard it is for me & that I don't like his travel either BUT it is DH's job that lets me stay home with them. He eventually understood & is proud of his Dad now. I think we are back to the standard battle with an 8 yo now.

Okay Andy, for the life of me, I can't find you "randy" post. What naughty thing is you say (I'm wagging my finger at you). Butter melts in the mouth of the Andy I know
