VERY happy for you guys!! Hope he was able to get back OK last night. Weather in north GA was pretty nasty. When I flew back into Atlanta area last evening everyone was holding & deviating to beat the band. I had to go a long ways out of the way just to get in safely around the weather.

We are encouraged to hear some success stories!! Gives hope!! Doesn't hurt to have 2 people who have MB foundations for starters.

Take care,

i missed my flight due to a tattoo, and traffic. then my next flight out was delayed twice. got home at 1am.

the rest of the weekend was incredible. blondie is a real, live, true, authentic beautiful woman inside and out. i couldn't have asked for a better person to know.

i am officially ticked off at Karona and dukhunter for their lack of contact. i thought mlhb and I were the center of your lives?

great weekend

I'm glad to hear it went well from both sides.
Now really, what is the tattoo story?

i should just give everybody my personal blog address and you can see and read all of it, but...

my lone mid life crises moment was going to be getting a tattoo. i found a design online, mlhb and i dropped it off the day before and made an appt, and on sunday i got the ink done. they told me it would take an hour, it took almost two. it made a tight schedule tighter, and our goodbye quick. traffic in albany and new jersey was terrible so i missed my flight.

tattoo looks great though. here's a link to the design: http://www.free-tattoo.com/tattoo/tribal-tattoo-the-falcon-god.gif
the finished product had white in the "negative spaces".

ticked off gekko???
I don't remember you giving out your phone number?
I would have been glad to call you two over the weekend!

Seriously......
So glad your "meet" happened and that all went so well.

It seems that you both are equally as taken with one another, AHHHH.

Happy Thoughts!
K!

I am so not a tattoo person, but still had to look at the design.

I've been checking up on the two of you! Besides, how do you know I was not in WV bumping shopping carts while the two of you were out frolicking around? Glad to hear it was a sucess. We all love to hear about good things happening to good people from MB!

Tell me the truth now, she must have at least one personal quirk I can use to get to her in some way. Throw me a bone here, I need the ammo to fend off the barbs she throws out there. Box Blonde? Knee high nylons? Lisp? What??????

personal quirks?

besides not knowing ANYTHING about Albany or its surrounding areas?

give her more than two diet drinks and or two cups of coffee and she stays up all night like my daughter on m&m's

she chickened out on the piercing which makes her a lightweight.

she takes FOREVER to get ready, which is typical for a high maintenance snob.

mainly she treats me way to well. i was spoiled this weekend. i told my best friend today that i met someone who is truly a good person inside and out. i can't imagine not knowing her.

Some guys have all the luck! You sound like you just joined that select club and I am happy for the both of you!

Never seen a blonde chicken before. Especially not a "high maintenance" one. A blonde chicken with the metabolism of a hummingbird. I can use this to build on! This gets more and more fun every day! Talk to you again soon.

d-wife:

orginally i wanted something native american because i am part cherokee, i couldn't find anything i liked. that design is close to an american indian design. it's actually Egytian. it's a Falcon God symbol which is supposed to mean protector, like a father.

gekko's tattoo looks great btw... i watched them do it. i took pix of the guy doing it! i did not however know the meaning behind the symbol.. i thought it was because of the football team? silly me.

a blonde chicken duk?? hummingbird?? i WISH i had the metabolism of a hummingbird... maybe i would be as light as one then! lol

You are his "quirk"!!!!!!

He seems pretty well adjusted given the amount of time he spent with you. Must be a heck of a guy! Men are always unfair aren't they? Get over it!

I will try to catch you tonight!
