DD has my last name, not her father's, so if I were to marry, I would hyphen my name. Just hope that future guy's name isn't really really long!

Barry- It is so weird seeing that "webmaster" title in front of your name....When did that happen? Tell me, does the job come with any perks?? Any freebies for your close "single" buddies?? nudge nudge.

There's an annoucement on the Universal board. As for perks, I get a better parking space.

"Hom" is a very short name.

I assume that when I do marry I will take my husband's last name because I am not overly attached to mine. I have no feelings about it one way or the other. Just hope it sounds good with the rest of my name

Well, how does "work guy's" last name sound with your names?
I love hearing how your relationship is progressing. It sounds really great. Just what I want. Last guy pushed it way too fast.

 

[floridaminnie]

But Barry I have still yet to receive those flowers!

You know what I like about Barry? His tastes are so selective that he makes you feel like the only woman in the world.

PW -- we're all waiting for our PMs telling us what your vent was about!!!

Hi All!

Have been giving this name issue some thought. (Forgive me showing my belief system...) The Bible says a woman leaves her family and is joined to her husband's. But, now I have children. The hyphen is so cumbersome. Yet, my children are their father's children. I just don't know what I'd do. Perhaps I'll never have to make that decision. Or, the girls will all be grown and then I would take on my new husband's name. Complicated. I think when the time comes, we will all know what the best decision is.

The professional name situation is difficult, too. But for me, I took on my dh's name, putting the sheepskin a bit farther down the wall.

(For the record, I wanted to keep my maiden name when I was younger... That name dies w/ my sister and that bothers me.)

Barry, congratulations and salutations on this most auspicious occasion!! Just how does one master a web?

Hmmmm "work guy's" last name, strangely enough, has the same first 3 letters as my last name. I don't dislike his last name

Yesterday we both had the afternoon off, and it was an extremely warm day (before it turned fridgid last night) so we walked a few blocks from his house to this park with a big lake in it and feed the ducks and sea gulls some old bread. We also attempted to fly a kite, but the wind didn't cooperate!

Things with "work guy" are really good. I feel so comfortable with him....sometimes I worry I may be getting too comfortable too soon

He isn't pushing me for anything though, as you mentioned disliking, he is sweet and nice and caring, all traits I haven't been experienceing in a long time, and am sort of on a "good-guy high"!!

Sometimes I wonder why I am single then.

Suzanne -- your flowers are on the way, expect they may not be the flowers you're envisioning in your head.

Hi, Sk8Mom!

Oh, I'm just frustrated. And I'm also one of those that freaks out if I don't hear from someone for a few days. However, things have changed since I was in VA, and I'm not happy about it! Not sure what's up exactly. MEN!

 

[TigerBear]

(((HUGS))) PW. Men are definitely challenging to understand. Not that this is necessarily applicable in your situation, but has anyone read Mars and Venus on a Date by John Grey? He presents an interesting look at the stages of dating - and how differently men and women experience these stages. Although I don't agree with all of his assertions, I do find them interesting.

For example, he describes men as rubber bands. He believes that when men experience greater levels of intimacy, they switch back and forth between wanting to get closer emotionally and wanting to pull away. The closer a man gets emotionally, the more likely he is to pull away. According to Grey, if a woman accepts this in a man and allows him to retreat, he is more likely to spring back to wanting to be close (and that when he comes back he will love her even more). I don't think this applies to all men - and it seems to apply to some women I know. In general though, men do seem to have a greater need to maintain autonomy and also a greater need to do the pursuing.

 

[DocRafiki]

Disney-- your "date" or whatever it was sounds just perfect! I just don't think that most people enjoy those simple things any more. I always feel like I have to do something "interesting" when I go out with someone (friend/date/whatever), that people would be bored doing silly fun things like that. That is great that you're so comfortable with him. As the yunguns say, "Woot!!"

I, for one, have one less reason to stay home on a sunny day or a "weekend" night. I picked up my "new" car! WOOT times ten! It's used, but HEY it runs! I've been using my car as an excuse to stay close to home for like two years now. Now I just have to get rid of the dogs, and I'm a free woman!

(YES that's a joke!)

Anyway, WHAT a load off of my shoulders! I feel like I can "get on with my life" now. I've been putting off getting a "new" car for THREE years now! You watch -- now that I have a car payment (which I've never had before), I'll lose my job.

tmq -- I'd be with you on the convent except I'm not catholic or even Christian. What do non-religious-types join when they want to swear off the opposite sex? Hmmmm...

Pw-- yeah, I got the PM. Didn't I answer? Sometimes I'm bad about that. Did your guy ever really address the stuff he read in that e-mail?

I'm so sleepy I'm about to pass out. One day back at work and I'm ready for my weekend again. Nighty night.

 

[floridaminnie]

Just passing by to say hi. Need to go to work and had a very interesting night. I'll be back after work. Hope everyone is having a nice warm day even though it's cold outside everywhere today!

 

[tmq2766]

Hey Doc,
We could always start our own Convent........

PW:
Try to keep busy so you have no time to think about him and before you know it he will call and explain that he has just been sooo busy but thoughts of you havegotten him through it all. And if he doesn't than you can join our newly founded convent

It is SOOOOOOOOOO Cold her today!!!!! A highoa 8 witha wind chill of -25. BRRRRRRRRRRR
