LOL..I am sure he had another name he was nice but a bit shady he had all these investors give him money to buy a Chain of Hotdog stands called:
Cowboy Hotdogs
I knew what you meant...I was there. :O)
Oh oh oh oh!!!
I wrote a bit of romantic short story (I know, I'm a dork) that was pretty much encompassed a lot of what was left of my romantic dreams (not sex, but just romantic stuff). A guy I was absolutely crazy about read it and like others, thought it was a pretty good short story. That was that, I thought.
A year later, after my mother died, he called me and said "Do you have any vacation time?" He was tongue tied and couldn't get it out, but finally, he said that he had gotten a BIG bonus and wanted to take me on a vacation to Victoria, BC.
I was exhausted, and knew nothing about Victoria, but I needed the rest. Well, it is THE most romantic place on the planet. And that was my 'date', for 10 days, he recreated a lot of what was in my short story. From walks in gardens to ice cream cones at the pier to a day out watching whales to telling me he loved me while drinking sangria in a courtyard.
'Nuf said, I'm gettin' all misty eyed.

Great Date!
Oh this is going to be fun.....
My husband-to-be (I had no idea at the time) and I had had the kind of argument that ends relationships. I never wanted to speak to him again. After several days of silence...I was afraid it was really over.
We were both working in Bryce Canyon National Park. It was beautiful, romantic, and remote. It was about lunchtime at the visitor center (where I worked) when I saw him coming up the walk toward me. When he got to the front desk, he asked me if I wanted to go to lunch. I said yes.
He guided me with a light touch on the back to his pick-up truck and he drove me to one of the most scenic look-out points in the world and he produce a picknic basket. Inside was canapés made of tuna, cheese and crackers, and tuna sandwiches and a bottle of wine. He excused himself for serving me tuna, but said that it was all the little grocery store had to offer.
We had a beautiful heart-to-heart talk about our future and our desires. I discovered more about him that day than I had ever known...and I decided I would marry him. Of course it took him a few more months to decide he'd marry me!
LOL!
Sounds lovely - where is he now?
;-)
I meant workin on it, as in part of the process, (smoochie-smoochie and cuddly-wuddly) not necessarily workin on it like bumpin uglies workin on it.
You like yours wrinkly too, eh?
Oh, no, no shortage at all and I've had/have my share of suitors.
But where are we going to go on a date? ;-)
LOL!
Then the answer is yes. ;O)
Cyborg's phrase is "a tribe of little geniuses."
Great!
The boyfriends are always the last to know...that they will be husbands soon....
;-)
The middle one reminds me of my ex-....
Yeah, right after the ultrasound technicians.
Still in Houston,
Drinking himself to death :(
Funny, but sometimes people come into your life just long enough to help fix something that's broken or strengthen something that's fragile. Sadly, I couldn't do the same for him.
But I have some wonderful memories.
I had a TERRIBLE FIRST date with my husband, he took me to a park and brought a 6 pack of Michelob and BBq sandwiches both I dislike, anyways he ate and drank all of it and then proceeded to say to me:
"Will you show me you Chest"? although he used a different male term for chest, anyways I said your a jerk take me home he made up for it many many times over since then! HAHA...
I'm going to chime in w/ worst date because I missed the "worst date" thread.
Worst date was my first date w/Mr. HR. It was an election returns "party" in Nov.,1992 (need I say more). I think we stuck together out of sheer need for survival those first 8 years.
