Thanks,

And I love my husband too!

We were married 5 1/2 years ago in Las Vegas at the Monte Carlo Hotel on Las Vegas Blvd. I was able to get a rabbi (we're both Jewish) after searching online. It was perfect!

My first marriage was a big wedding. This one suited me much better at this time in my life.

DG love the picture you look so happy enjoy it hunny .

Hello Designer Gal,



you do look stunning, how long have you been together

Beautiful pic!! :-4

You look absolutely gorgeous DG.



Hopefully on Sunday I'll be able to post some picks of my sons wedding....can't believe the big day has come round so quickly

Oh Bez, congratulations on the upcoming big day!

Do you like the woman your son is marrying?

Oh yes...she's lovely looking and has a lovely nature and they have a gorgeous son who I'm looking after on Thursday while she goes and has a pampering day....lucky her..and lucky me...lewis is a treasure.

Bez, sounds like you're blessed. And you realize it, which is even better.

Well...My eldest sons marriage ended in divorce but he has a lovely lad aged 8



My daughters marriage ended in divorce



My youngest son is 34 so I'm hopeful he has settled down and will hold on tightly to the blessings he has.



All my 3 kids are wonderful but have been unlucky with their partners. I'm sure Mr / Mrs right will turn up one day.

I am an identical twin and also have an older brother.

When I got divorced from my first husband, I felt like such a failure. My bro and sis were in thriving marriages and I was not -- and it was only two years into the marriage.

Bez, keep the faith for your children -- seven years after my divorce, I remarried. I hope they are optimistic about finding a soulmate; being cynical and pessimistic does *not* attract people to you. Always dream and hope for the best.

Soon it will come to you:)

They're not cynical and pessimistic thank goodness, although my daughter does find life lonely without a soulmate. She is always busy with her Buddhist acitvities....which reminds me....gotta dash, have a meeting in 45 mins....see you all later..

I truly understand that.

Isn't it funny how things work between people?

my x & father of my children is one of my best friends or closest people to me :-4

im proud to say i had children with him & we remain as close as we are

snooze - if those are your good qualities i can only assume you have been very badly hurt in the past, i hope you meet a man or woman depending on your choice who will see that & open new doors for you :-6

I sometimes consider putting up a *smilie *interpretation guide along with some of my posts.. kinda cuts into the moment though, don't ya think?There's English and then there's what we used to call Drawing when I was in Primary School. Drawing consisted of decorating short sentences to make a story. English consisted mainly of Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation.

The clue in the sentence under consideration is called an exclamation mark. Even in Drawing Class it had significance.

Without the exclamation mark:

Oh no. those are my good qualities.

That's a statement, emphatic by reason of the italics.

With the exclamation mark, either of the alternatives:

Oh no. those are my good qualities!

Oh no! those are my good qualities.

That's an exclamation, and does not mean what the statement meant. I prefer the latter but either will do.

The statement is informative, the exclamation is observational. We learned these things aged about six, and it has stuck with me ever since. Does the recent introduction of smilies negate punctuation? I can think of a single occasion in the last twelve months when I've employed a smilie and it was done to comment on smilies, not to improve my ability to express myself. The way I have my browser configured, if a smilie moves or flickers I don't even know it's there anyway. I'd rather be misinformed than streched out on the floor in an epileptic fit.

Either English is still fully capable of conveying meaning, without the employment of changed font sizes or Drawing in general, or the English Speaking World has entered barbarous times. Barbarous originated as the sound made by incomprehensible foreigners. Baa, baa. It was probably non-PC even 2,500 years ago when it was a fairly fresh joke.

This isn't a get-flopstock post. This is a gritted-teeth what is the world coming to post. "Some folks 'get' you, some folks don't" isn't valid comment on the poster, but it may well be a valid comment on the reader.

i dident mean to upset you snooze, sorry, i just dident see the humour in it, i seldom get self depreciating humour

spot - your so well educated, to know all that stuff by six blows me away, my memories of school at six were being terrified of sums

Some folks 'get' you, some folks don't.. gotta decide where to expend the effort, IMO.


I agree...it pays to read some posts more than once before replying and landing yourself in the 'mucky stuff'

spot - your so well educated, to know all that stuff by six blows me away, my memories of school at six were being terrified of sums :DSum scared me, too, Butter. So I staid away from the biger kids. Spelin was awways my favrit class tho.

flopstock wrote: Does it bother me? Nope... I enjoy your personality and 'means' of expression, regardless of how it 'sounds' to others who read it. I enjoy 'you'. So if others read it as an attack on me, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you..... I just read it as 'seeing' your personality and so add a couple of more dots in my text reply....just to tweek you..:p :-4You're all very horrid and I'm going home and I'm talking my ball with me so you can't even play any more and that'll show you and I expect you'll cry.

You've got a 'talking ball' ? ...lord...you're a dark horse spot !

I so wish I could type more cleanly - every discovered typo makes me flinch for days after. Woe and alack for I am a useless sod and I can't type straight. At least it was a singular ball.

Oh Spot, I so enjoy your company
