Tri-me~

What a hoot!!
I've had 2 dogs. My main squeeze dog who died 5 years ago and my rebound dog, Sarah. I'd glady marry either one.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I did need to join the group, but it was a few simple clicks since I already have a Yahoo account.

And now we can talk about someone else's face (thank gawd)!!
Yours is very nice and reminds me of no one! 8)

I couldn't help but notice the exchange on the previous page. Laurie, are you trying to steal my man? Can't you see how distraught he was? Then you, and your feather pen, how conniving of you!

Now, I've nothing left. And no one saved me a drink. My life is but a deep, dark hole in the ground. I think I'll climb inside. To hide. (that was a poem - a bad one, sure, but it rhymed). I think I'll have much time on my hands now to hone my craft. Pain being a salve of sorts.

I want you both to know, that I can do nothing to stop your union. I don't support your love, as I know Perth's love. However much I might hate you now, Laurie, I can understand why you would want my man.

Key of E please..

My Man ** The Billie Holiday tune by Channing Pollock/Maurice Yvain / Albert Willemetz/Jaques Charles

*MY MAN*

It cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
It's my man

Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this I'll soon forget
With my man

He's not much on looks
He's no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him

Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do?

Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All right

What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday

For whatever my man is
I'm his forevermore

Linda.

Ummm, Linda? *beckons with fingers and speaks softly* Linda, please come here and listen closely. No. Shhh. Take a deep breath. Okay? Okay. You have misinterpreted my exchange with your beloved Perth.
Thing is, now promise to keep this to yourself, I think he is a crusty alcoholic. I know. I know. You loooove him. I said I'd buy the champagne. And I have ordered the monogrammed towels for your upcoming nuptuals in a lovely shade of cloud white.

I think maybe you are just having those pre-wedding jitters. Your thinking is not right. Please re-read my exhange with Crus err, i mean Perth. We loath each other, at best.
Kiss. Kiss. Now go dry your eyes and keep planning the wedding...

*I open a second bottle of champagne, pick up a glass, put it down and drink from the bottle*

Oh, I see. *snuffle, snuffle* - hey, that was good champagne. Can I have another bottle? Also, can I have the towels in "Powder Pink"? Please.
Thank you so much. My heart is now at ease.

Linda.

Certainly. The catalogue calls it Paris Pink. Will that do?

It is so sweet how you two women have come to an understanding.
I have never been married, but i can understand being insecure before the wedding. It has been my experience that men who drink heavily are very sensitive. They cannot handle the world so they drink. Don't despair (thrust your tongue firmly into your cheek) Your love will help break through his insecurities. Be patient with him and understanding, he needs you to give him the strength he needs to see alternative ways. If you love him well enough and hard enough all will be fine, just fine. Sure he may be crusty, but he must have his moments? Be a good little woman and love him, love him, love him he will change one day I am sure. A good woman stands by her man no matter what. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, I hated to do it, but I rummaged through all my packed things and found my Ouiji Board, that I haven't used in many years. Was interested to see if it had an opinion on all this, so gave it a whirl.

I was very tired and couldn't be up all night with it, so quit and went to bed after it got as far as D - Y - S - F - U - N - C . As I fell asleep, it just kept crossing my mind, Linda, that somehow you'd prefer a skating rink to Paris Pink. Maybe, if I can find my crystal ball, I can narrow this all down a little more [not that you'd be interested, of course].

If I don't get back with you by the time of the blessed event, however, I think you probably might as well go with Tri-me's latest bit of advice :) . You can do it, girl............many women have, you know :lol: . I'm sure that, underneath it all, where only we women can see, he's nothing but sweet purity.

Tri-me :D !

It's impossible to see your stills without joining. However, like Laurie, I didn't have so much trouble doing that. What a great time it looks like you all had :lol: ! I'd love to see it in action and hear the dialogue. Going by some of the make-up tricks, cast of characters, et al, it looks like it had its share of camp. Very creative. It looks like you guys had a blast 8) ! Is your groom a whippet? If so, symbolic, as well?

Geez, I won't be the one to tell you [will I?], but you do resemble a dear woman I know [Venessa], who's also very creative. Ironically, your pretty face in the photo is in a similarly-upturned position as your cat avatar here and, of course, your colouring is similar. You appear to be a very nice woman, supporting the evidence I've seen here.

Naturally, I, in an effort to uncrowd my computer, just deleted my Yahoo account as I rarely used it. So, I cannot see a darn thing! Adding Yahoo at this point isn't really an option, so I guess I'll just have to take everyone's word for it that a good time was had by all! By the reactions, it sure sounds like it.

Lizzy,

Yes. Sweet Purity. I couldn't have said it better myself. I can't imagine what your Ouiija board was trying to tell you, though. Something about dis fun (those old boards aren't very good at spelling), dis fun c... hmm. dis fun ceremony! That must be it!!

Yeah, I'm sure you're right :) . It was headed another direction, but I'm sure it would've veered off at the last second to the E. I'm sure of it. You've gotta be right. And I don't think Ouijis are beholden to correct spelling, so thanks for taking the trouble from my eyes. I thought it was there for good, so I didn't try. I just took that extra bit of sleep. I knew I could count on you to fill in the blanks.

Ohhhhh, such a happy pairing :D . Just sorta Yin & Yang, know what I mean?

The invitations will be "& GUEST," right :D ?

:? ..and guest??...I'm probably going to wind up paying for this shindig...

Well, yes, of course, it would help in the inviting process, if I knew the name, nationality, sex, age, religion and politcal leanings of said guest.

No problem.

Problem. I'm sure hubby-o will be inviting every drinkin' buddy he's ever had, and won't be telling you a thing. You won't even notice my one guest, at all.

"& Guest," right :D ?
