Gowerly: Just go out and find someone to spend a weekend with. Not talking about sex or relationships, just someone to spend some time with. You can do it.

I can, but people look at me funny. Also, people here are really really nasty. We're all industrial and stuff.
Oh, and about 4500 hours and counting if I get the chance to work in the US.

Well, as most all of you know by now, Minako-chan and I are a couple. Even witht he problems many of you know we have had, we are still together, and as I know she doesn't spend as much time on the forums as she used to, I can tell you this...

As soon as I can buy a ring, I am going to propose to her.

Congratulations, Ric. How long do you suspect that will be?

Yeah, congratulations! My fiancee and I will have the ring and both bands paid off in a couple months. It's a great feeling. We went through JBR and put 20% down and were able to go 1 year, no interest. Of course, 20% was something like $1600. It was difficult to save, but it's one of my proudest investments to date. Not a penny in interst. I can't buy a pack of gum these days without paying interest.

Make sure the proposal is original and spontanious. You know, zig when she expects you to zag!

Here's my engagement story:

I got a hold of a charicature artist in the area and had him meet me and my fiancee at a local soup bistro. Only she didn't know the artist would be there. We were on lunch break, so understandably in a hurry. We get in line, and I pretend to be surprised at seeing the artist over there, just doodling to himself.

I said "This is such a weird coincidence, I was just having this conversatio nwith my sister about how to pronounce caricature." So i go over there and ask him, and Kel (fiancee) is like, "Neil, what are you doing, I have to hurry!" And I said "just hold on..." and asked the guy my questions. Then he says "You know, I am taking a class right now, and I have to draw a couple for a project and you two are so perfect for it, it would mean a lot if you'd pose for me." I talked Kel into it and we sat down for probably 10-15 minutes.

When he was almost finished he said something like, "Okay, almost done here, but I don't know you enough, Kel, to completely finish this drawing. I left a blank bubble over your head and if you could just fill it in with "yes" or "No" I'd really appreciate it.

So he hands her the drawing and while she looks at it I get out the ring and get on my knee. The caricature was of me on me knee asking "Kellie, will you marry me." And anyway, she wrote yes and the rest is history! Someday I will post that caricature. It's unbelievably good.

Dreamer, I will certainly remember that peice of advice. Sadly Circe, since money is tight right now, for me to get her the ring I want to it will have to wait till this summer. however i am asking her familys blessing when we are together on Christmas Eve or Day whenever that happens.

Just an additional note,

Mina was pregnant like many of you knew and lost the baby tonight.
