The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 2

[Steffy]

I know this is off topic, but I rarely post on any other board except this one.

My DB is a widower. His wife died about 5 or 6 years ago. He has 5 children, 3 are children that he took in as foster children and they adopted the boys before Sandy died. My Mom moved in shortly after my Dad died so she could watch the boys when my brother traveled. My brother is a business agent and goes out of town overnight a few times a month. He has not dated anyone since his DW passed away. At least not anyone that he brought home to meet Mom & the kids. Well to make a very long story short, he has brought a Lady home to meet Mom & the kids. He has been dating her since late December and they are now going out every week.

His dilemma? What does he get her for Valentine’s Day? Jewelry is probably not appropriate as they have only been dating a little over a month. I suggested flowers, candy and a book, but he doesn’t know what she reads.

I told him I would post the question on the boards & let him know the recommendations. He is 52 & I don’t know how old she is, I think in her late 40’s.

Thanks for any help you can give him.

Unless she is allergic to flowers, that sounds great! Flowers, candy (the nice heart shaped box) and maybe a nice dinner? If so, he should make reservations now!!! That's so nice. I wish them well...

After all the hubbub, I have actually set my DVR to record this (but the later showing on Thursday night).

We are apparently not the only ones talking about it, though - I noticed today it is the top-selling album, and has several top downloaded singles, on the iTunes site.

We are HIP!

AMY:

I was sitting here reading and Nick came in - I scrolled down and he said "NO!" as I tried to scroll - I scrolled back up and he kept yelling look! look!

He does this a lot when he sees characters - but I could not find a character he was talking about

finally I stopped on your post - he climbed in my lap - got the BIGGEST smile I have ever seen on his face and said again "look mommy"

I said - "who is that?" and he said "issa"

I said "yes it is - do you love her" and he said "yes" - he was grinning ear to ear - ran to get steve to show him and then said "mickey hugging issa"

Denise and I have already planned Davis' and Julia's wedding at the GFWP - maybe it will be a double wedding!!!!!

Sorry this is but it reminded reminded me of something someone said to me today. A lady came in to my store today with her Husband or boyfriend. She was probably in her mid forties. They were together a while whatever the case. She asked me which I would rather have for Valentine's Day a dozen of roses or a Black and Decker Scumbuster.

I said the roses. She said to me well you are too young, because the roses will die. So I want a Scumbuster.

No matter which answer I would give I would be wrong. Depending on who I was talking to. I was trying not to .

So who wants a Black and Decker Scumbuster for Valentine's Day??

Becky

It's not a gift if it has a plug.....

I have it set to dvr on Thursday also. But, I won't be here for the quiz, I will be in DISNEY WORLD!
Can you tell I'm excited! I just can't sleep.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

I've already told Leighanna that she can't get married until she's 30. She did meet a boy in the preschool she used to go to, and she still talks about him to this day!
My wife's idea about homeschooling doesn't sound too bad to me, afterall!

Unfortunately for Steve's heart - that happens with Julia a lot!! Her teen years are going to be living hell for him!!!

Although she is ADAMANT she is NEVER getting married!!

She did tell me yesterday she decided to be a doctor when she grows up - I asked what kind and she says a stay at home one like Uncle Jim (that is Nancy's DH) who Julia has never actually seen at work - I guess she thinks he is just around to check her out and answer our families medical questions!!

So how much more do you have to do?

are you all packed? are your shirts all done - oh yea - I forgot you bought them and made them a long time ago didn't you - I was up making 10 shirts the night before I left - thanks to Princess Nancy's last minute decision to join us and my refusal to let her kids feel left out!!!

what about your autograph pages? did you make cards for her pillow each night - do you have a binder? or a guidebook? or are you winging it?

Oh - I am so jealous!!

Darn it - I should have booked that ding fare!!
