Thinking about asking my girlfriend to marry me

[velvett]

Pauly's parents are truly blessed and I think we may be able to all agree that his parent's situation is not the norm.

There are a few couples on this board that also met and married very quickly and I am amazed and at the same time thrilled for each and everyone one of them.

However, I still think the concept is insane and can't say I would do it even if I felt "oh my God, he is the one".

Logic prevails I guess.

But it's just my opinion, doesn't matter, you're a grown man and you're going to do what you want to do regardless.

Good Luck.

you know, im in the same boat. my pepper grinder is the biggest piece of shit, and it makes my pepper taste like plastic.

i really want to get one of those nice wooden ones that waiters carry around in upscale places. any suggestions?

im being serious here. my pepper means a lot to me.

If I told you that I found my dream pepper mill at TJMaxx would you believe me?

No, I can't either.

I bought my first one-nighter mill in desperation. He was short, stubby and chrome, stylish but he gave lousy pepper.

But then there was woody.

God bless woody.

He is hard to store anywhere being shy of 15" tall but my my, he grinds heavenly.

Woody's German made and I'm guessing he's Hickory.

15"? Are you a size queen or what?

velvett, you seem like one of the characters from "sex and the city". Urban, modern, sophisticated, etc. so I can understand how this doesnt make sense from your point of view. The woman Im with is small town type with small town values, so this isnt that big of a deal. Ive actually lived in good sized cities my whole life so someone like her is a refreshing change from the usual cat and mouse headgames every woman in this town plays. If Paulys parents are blessed and you are thrilled by couples who are similar then why am I going to do what I am going to do regardless? Regardless of what?

Only you and she will know if it's right or not. Take these next 4 or 5 months to really think it all through. So what if you have enough money? The ring will still be there. Don't jump into it. Good luck also.

Randy,

I'm sorry, poor choice of words on my part.

What I should have said was, you are going to do, or rather you should do what is best for you regardless of what anyone else has to say that is supportive or not of your desires.

Seriously, I do wish you the best.




I escaped the glass and concrete for horse farms and fishes.

I was totally serious about the pepper mill.

we have another Frackal situation on our hands. so how much are you going to spend on the ring? how much will you be regretting it after you realize that you were a little too quick with the trigger?

Not quite frackal. First of all Im older than him and second of all the woman Im with isnt twice my age.

ACK!

OUCH!
