NCWalker: I knew that would get your attention. I love it too, the signature line that is.

What was that onlywords said about if I brought home half a dozen fish? Hmmm, I could go back and look it up, but geez I think I have it memorized.

Yup, I stopped on the way home from work and picked up a half dozen trout fillets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> And no I was not expecting the trip upstairs, I just wanted to see the smile on her face. I figured she'd bust out laughing, but she was too tired. She did manage a nice smile though.

Thought you'd enjoy that. Take care!

I think he is on his way home from work, but I am sure he will respond. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

PLEASE don't tell me you are as peculiar as my H.

There can only be one of you in this world. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Tell onlywords "hi" for me.

RAP: I wouldn't call myself peculiar, but when onlywords read NCW's post with the half a dozen fish line for the first time, then told me how funny it was. And then when I came home she was reading it again, and she was sitting at the pc cracking up.

So I thought if I brought home some fish I could get her to crack up again. But she was mowing and weeding and picking up trash around the neighborhood today, and then it leaked in her car so she had to clean that up too. And then she made fried chicken and boiled/buttered potatoes for supper (yum) and she was tired, so it kind of took away some of the funniness. I don't think she expected it, but being tired it wasn't as funny as it might have been <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

God Bless all,
RH

I was just teasing you. That is one thing H and i have in common. A peculiar sense of humor. I do love that about him.

I actually used to drive him crazy when I would get in my weird moods. He doesn't embarrass easily, but I used to try. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Sounds like onlywords worked very hard today. I am sure she will think on it later and laugh. It was pretty funny.

Have a great night. Now I want fried chicken. H and i are taking the kids out to eat. I will show him your post first.

Blessing,
Pam

RH,

I can't really explain what I started here. RAP was laughing much like your wife the first time she read it.

Didn't think it was THAT funny.

I am a little eclectic, or maybe that's eccentric.

RAPs just weird. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> One of the reasons I love her.

Sounds like OW is too.

Guess we are the lucky ones.

Hey! Who started this party and didn't invite me???? RH? I know you told me about some post of yours, but I didn't realize you had started a new thread! I guess I was more tired than I thought! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
I thought it was cool that you brought the three fish home! You're a weirdo. But I mean that in a GOOD way! And God can take those three fish and feed ten thousand! Now, I should get out my breadmaker and start baking.....how many loaves will I need? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

RAP,

Thanks for telling me about this! I think RH is just as peculiar.....just somewhere along this journey of life, he forgot he was supposed to be having fun. It happened to me, too. This is a very good start! I like the playfulness....

HEY RH! Add that to my list! And I hereby give you credit in my love bank for 10,000 deposits!

Love you,
Julie

RH,

First, let me state that I am sooo Happy to see that you and only words have come so far in such a Short time period.
Man you 2 are blowing my recovery Time away by a mile.
NOT wanting to jinx you....so KEEP it Up.

In addition, so admirable for you 2 To be reaching out to others.
Many find that hard to do during Recovery, so my Highest regards on accomplishing that feat.

Next, Even IF your Jest didn't go over quite as planned, the main point is you were Thinking about it and tried to be playful and creative. Good Job! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

In these trying times we are in.... THAT Means SOO Much. (Never loose sight of that).

(Sometimes it IS the thought that counts).
So Hang in there and KEEP the Good Ideas Coming!

It's also enjoyable to see you couples kinda ...."Bonding" as you are.
The playfulness and good humor is refreshing. (Hope I'm not out of bounds for saying so?)

[Also hope you are healing up quickly after your surgery?] Sure can be more of a challenge then when we were young bucks.


To you Only words:
What do I have to do to deposit 10,000 "love unit" credits.
[ & At one "pop" no less]
Please Clue ME IN! I want the secret. [NO! I NEED the secret!]

I have to tell you I'm really Tired of the 1 or 2 at a time method.
So any enlightenment on that subject would be "highly" appreciated.

Believe me I'm still willing to Learn. (Not ready for the pound just yet).
Take care All

About the 10,000 deposits: I don't know if you've ever played pinball. But if you have, remember the old game called GorGar. You had to get a 1,000,000 points to get the free game. All the other games at time were more reasonably set to get the free game (KISS and I forget some of the others, but you get my drift? You only needed 100,000 or 200,000 for the free game.)

I think her bank account is a little bit like that (inflationary). But the key thing is, that the deposit was made.) (The love bank one that is) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

TopRope: Good to 'see' you too. Can't take credit for the fish idea, just plagiarizing ol' NCWalker. I am trying to be more considerate...one of the things the 2x4 of an A will do to you.

You know, for some reason, I always thought it would be me who strayed in our M, never even gave it the slightest thought that my W could do that. (She always 'seemed' more religious than I. She was a virgin before she met me-the corruptor that I am. She could never do that-have an A. But I never thought about how I could have allowed us to become that vulnerable. I never saw her attempts to reach out to me. It happened, now we deal with it. Luckily, I think we get as much if not more from this site than we give. And I am thankful for that. This truly is an amazing website!

God speed to you,
RH
