Randy,<P>Wow, that many post!!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>Well, I looked at yours hoping for ammunition, but dang it, you post an average of 38.5 a month. hmmm someday i'm gonna have to go into those post and see if there one or two months you have posted more than mine. (secretly hoping so)<P>Well hey, I think somebody is counting wrong on here!!!<P>Also, now that I think about it, I made several post today that just said OHMYGOSH!!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Those post all together shouldn't even count as one post. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I need to find out who is making up these rules, and have a talk with them. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Well I have been told I'm windy. Sometimes quiet and sometimes will drive you crazy. Usually when I'm nervous about something, I will drive you crazy.<P>I have been thinkin' lately that I have been on here way way too much. I've gone through the divorce crisis, date or not date crisis, relative in law crisis and now it's time for me to be productive. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Anyway, I'm gonna head for bed. Have a good night all.<P>Oh btw, on that post, just post it on another thread, silly!!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] GEEEZZZZ!<BR>MEN!!!!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Take care,<P>ANNA<BR> <BR>PS<BR>OHMYGOSH!! When I hit submit, it said something like "Your post did not go through because you've exceeded (ok stop there for a second. I thought for sure it was gonna say I exceeded the maximum number of post!!!Somehow I thought you knew someone with connections to play a joke on me!) the maximum number of images." lol OHMYGOSH!!!

[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P><BR>Yes Anna, I could do that but then I would have to think up a new title and everything..........actually the thought never occured to me but I'll never admit that.

I personally know Willard.<P>8 images is the limit. See how you are? Short little posts, but tons of smily faces and frowney faces..... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Hey, is that one of the "OHMYGOSH's above?<P>You dont need to defend yourself.... I have deducted no points for being windy. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Anna, there are alot of sad hurting people on this site. And sometimes it becomes just to much to try to take it all in. I find it sometimes painful anyway. And so it is refreshing to read your posts which always try to mix a little humor in to a bad situation and you do it quite well.<P>I was only teasing about your number of posts. You are right though in that people only tend to come here when they are in crisis and thats to bad. If we all worked on the little things as they come up nothing would ever build to that crisis stage. And it would be a heck of a lot easier to joke around. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] <P>Hey....and if your gonna be dating around with all sorts of morons down there in Texas...Im just gonna have to deduct 2 points right here and now Anna.<P><BR>I'll talk to you later.... As soon as I think up a title for my post to you. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P><BR>Take care of yourself.<P>Randy <P>

There's a reason for those double post Randy! I'm so surprised you didn't guess. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>My ever so windy ways came in handy. I became good friends with Willard and he's now going to double post everything you post so I will have a better chance at you passing my record this month.

Anna,<P>Naw....I just sit here and push the submit button a hundred times until the site uploads my post and then it does it twice. <P>And even if I double and triple posted I think your record would still stand [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I gave up on the long post. To bad too because it was really good [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I even tried reposting on a new thread but that didnt work either...so I just decided it wasnt meant to be, and now the timing is off so....you lose....or gain depending on your perspective. It was really funny though.<P>I mentioned fancy undergarments and guttin fish...two of your favorite things [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>So you are a great cook huh? Whats your best meal? <P>Im a pretty good cook too. My son and I made two apple pies tonight and while not the prettiest looking things they sure turned out tasting good. Ofcourse its gonna take me two hours to clean up all the flour all over everything but such is the price of perfection.<P>Holy crap...its Sat night and my son and I are baking pie. (note to self....maybe you need to start getting a life.)<P>How am I ever gonna find my woman in fishing boots [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] if Im at home baking pie? And where do you find a woman in fishing boots anyway? Yea, I know...at the lake. But its getting cold here now and that might get pretty tough real soon.<P>So you like to scuba huh? <P>I have snorkeled all over the world...well alot of places anyway....I love to do that. I once had a shark (about a 10 footer) swim right past me and I was so excited that I swam after him to get a picture as I was to amazed and a little uncalm [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] when he first swam by. I dont know if that was smart or not, but it sure was cool! And not scary at all for some strange reason... There were some other chunkier people in the water so I figured he would have picked on them before me anyway [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] That was a cool day in my life though. <P>Anyway gotta go now. Stop kissing those wart hogs in Texas....ya'll are gonna catch some mad cow sickness or something [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>You take care now.<P>Randy <P>

Randy,<P>I may have missed counting a point here or there but it looks like I only have 1 point now. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] It seems to me that you are getting mighty generous in deducting those points but when you like things you just say "Oh well I won't deduct any points for that since I like it anyway." Well, HEY! Where's my point??? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I've decided that even though you are being unfair playing the game, I kind of like this points game and will come up with my own points for you. I can't guarantee I'll ask you to marry me if you reach 100pts, but I will guarantee that I will give you a prize for reaching the 100 point mark. I am still thinking of the prize, so far number one choice for your prize is one of those singin' fish. You know the one fish that sings "Don't worry, be happy." You probably already have one of these displayed elogantly above the fire place mantel, but people can always use a backup fish just in case the first one tears up or somethin'. I was also thinkin' of one of those corncob backscratchers? That would be a cool gift too.<P>Ok so here's how you are fairing on your points.<P>1 point for sense of humor.<P>-1 point for not giving me points when I obviously deserved them.<P>2 points for fishing and snorkling and not being a couch potato.<P>2 points for baking pies on Saturday night with your son (btw, sounds like a pretty good life to me).<P>-1 point Since I'm 5'0 and you are 6'1", I will have to keep a step ladder handy on every date when it comes to kissing me at the door.<P>1 point because a 6'1" guy could pick me up so easily. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>1 point because you seem to enjoy children.<P>-1 point because you gave up to easily on posting that thread. It would have drove me crazy until I come up with a way. I hate being defeated especially by a dang computer.<P>Ok let's see, after tallying the points, you have 4 points so far. In the positive, I might add. That is not bad for a start and it's 3 points more than what I have now. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] You just may get there first!<P>Oh, on the questions you asked. I don't know if I have one particular dish that's the best. I am not a "fancy" cook, I am more of a country cook. I grew up in Arkansas, and around Arkansas home cookin'. Probably the dinners that are most requested would be spaghetti & meatballs (none of that jar stuff ewwww, only homemade) lasagna (also no jar spaghetti sauce in the lasagna, PUH-LEEEESE!), roast, chicken n' dumplins(my grandma made the best chicken n'dumplins, I miss her so much) and chicken caserole dishes. Also, I love grillin' steaks and fish. For breakfast my children love the biscuits and gravy I make them. Just simple home cookin' nothin' fancy stuff.<P>Oh, and although I cook deserts for special occasions, pies and so forth, you will rarely see me making or having desert with a normal, no special occasion, dinner. Way, Way to fattening.<P>On the snorkling question. I've never snorkled, I've never had the opportunity, I would probably love it, but who knows until you try. I do love being in the water, lap swimming for fun and excerise though. <P>BTW!!!! Who says I gut fish???? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I never ever even watch those fish being brutally murdered and gutted. Ohmygoodness, that's a man's job! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Take care,<P>ANNA<P> <P>

Anna,<P>If you bait the hook, catch the fish, take him off the hook....theres only one thing left to do...well two really...and thats either to let him back into the water or clean him up. I let em go sometimes, except for walleye which is the best eating fish on the planet. Ok......you catch em...I'll gut um...<P><BR>Im gonna try parts of my post again, because in it I gave you several points but you didnt get them so I'll try again...(and yes I hate when this computer outwits me but sometimes timing is everything and that was the reason I gave up on the post.) But since you noticed I wasnt adding any points then perhaps the timing is not so far off.<P>Lets try again...before you talked about being feisty and how that would deduct a point...but I like feisty and so I added a point. <P>You also talked about sometimes being a contradiction. And my answer to that was that you are a woman and that it is quite normal....in fact girls learn to do and get away with this by age two. Ok...I'll give you a point for being a girl. Heck, my mom is a girl and I like her alot!<P>You mentioned that you like fancy undergarments, and I replied that you can wear any fancy undergarments you want as long as we are going fishing. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Thats a point.<P>Your humor and compassion here get you 3 - 4 points. This site can get to you after a while (so much pain) and everyone needs to know that there is life after this pain and you help to show that in most of your posts....1 point.<P>This is just a start Anna... you cant get to 100 points in a week after all...although I know you can get to 100 posts in a week or so [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] <P>Im gona send this off now because I fear its getting to long for this site but I will follow up later with the rest.<P>One more thing.... 6' 1" and 5' will match up quite well cuz I'll bend down to kiss you... and after you meet me you will wanna stand on tippy toes to reach up. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>You take care now.<P><BR>Randy<P><BR>

Now I tried finishing up this post but it wouldnt take it again. I think whats happening is that it it takes me so long to think and type this stuff out that it "time outs" on me, and then everything gets lost....but you are right...I will figure it out...I am a clever boy. <P>Thats a point isnt it? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Take care Windy.<P>I,ll try more tomorrow.<P>Randy
