I am really grateful that I received the thoughtful and thought provoking responses that I did receive, a few weeks ago. They allowed me to "normalize" what I was experiencing, to see it from a comfortable place. Yes, it is a very romantic thing I'm experiencing. Very romantic, indeed.
I've been busy, the last few days. Hell, the last few weeks. I had to get a car that could handle a road trip; my old one was not up for that. I had to organize the logistics; could you believe it was so hard to even find an affordable room in her area? A vacancy itself?
And I drove all day. A little over 600 miles. Almost precisely 1000 km. To meet her, for the very first time. I honestly did not even know what she looked like. Just words, is all I had. A few simple descriptors. We've been corresponding for years, but we only started really communicating over the last few months.
I was going on that roadtrip to ask her one of the most important questions there is. And I am back home, now, a very happy man. She said she'd have me, as her partner. The rest is just details, now.
If I've been weird, the last little while, it's because I've never felt like this before. I am in awe of it. I've just been exuberant....I've been exuberating all over the dang place.... haven't I been doing that? Exuberating, all over the place.
Now you know why.
All will be well.
Lar

Lar:
Judi (jlynne) and I are genuinely pleased at this turn of events. It brings fond memories for us. We wish you and the mystery women the best of luck. So, who's relocating?
Ron
P.S. Are you familiar with "Harville Hendrix"? His books, including "Getting The Love You Want" have been a fantastic and realistic resource for us. Just a mention.....

Ryan is not, and never has been a Babbler.
He doesn't even look at the board!
And yes I'm married, that's how I got the "G"

Yes heartfelt congratulations Lar!
But please, a little discretion.
You don't know about my love life (or very little) and I haven't a clue why you thought Ryan was a babbler. This relationship is sacred to me, and I've been discreet about on purpose.Thanks

I don't often correct you, Dinah, but I am the lucky one, here.

I did not say anything more than that, except I thought he was a Babbler. An internetter, now that I think about it. It was a trivial detail, IMHO, added to the one that you had posted yourself. And I didn't even know you'd finished the deal, yet. I just figured that you had.
> Thanks
You're welcome.

>>You posted, on April 15, that you going to run errands, and get married.
Yes. I know what I posted, that's hardly detailed information I gave.
And it's not up to *you* to decide what is trivial enough information to repeat about *my* life, especially when it's incorrect.
An apology from you would have worked well here.
D.N.P/D.N.B Please

The details have not been addressed. I sure look forward to that whole marriage/witness ceremony thing, but we haven't talked about that, yet.

I swear aging is sh*tty. I AM blind or I'm having cognitive problems or both. Yep, I 'spect it's both. (BIG previously confused now cleared up smile).
Congrats to you and yours. Best to you both.

> warm regards, JakeHow did you know I was thinking kilt, laddie? I have rightful claim to wear a tartan. I have the clanship for that. I wasn't going to bring up the pipes right away, though. I'm not sure how that would go over, yet.
