3 words that changed your life...

[SEVERUSMAX]

2 cases with me:

"Permanent Medical Rejection"- the official military term used to indicate that I had flunked the Navy physical.

"I disagree with"- words that led to my e-mailing the woman who is now my slave and fiancee.

 

[minsue]

"I love you." - Too easy. Hmmmm....

"Are you sure?" - Husband, after I told him I'm gay.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

"I love you." - Too easy. Hmmmm....

"Are you sure?" - Husband, after I told him I'm gay.

The latter one must have been tough on you. Telling people news that they don't care for usually is.

It was, but it was so much easier on us both then trying to lie about it had been for the past few years.

"Are you sure?" - Husband, after I told him I'm gay.

I'm sure it was a very serious and somber moment...but this got me laughing. Thanks.

As for me, it only took one word:
"HERE!"

As a wedding ring with a large sparkling diamond was thrust into my hands one Christmas Eve.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

True. And it was fairer to him than stringing him along would have been. Having been lied to and told unpleasant truths in the past, I can say from experience that I prefer the unpleasant truth to the lie. It's kinder in the long run.

How romantic.

"Loan me a jacket?"
(I borrowed a Bates bike jacket, painted silver, from a guy. Then what with one thing and another, it didn't get back to him at the end of the evening. Six weeks later, I managed to track him down, went by his house to return it. And never left- it's been 29 years, coming up! )

Can I be didactic? That's 4 words.
Means I can use four as well.

"Will you marry me?" To my eternal and continuing joy, she said 'yes', with absolutely no hesitation.

I would've used those, but I followed the rules.

Of course there was no hesitation, my love. I wasn't awake yet when you asked.

 

[3113]

How romantic.

Oh, it was very romantic. I stared at that ring in complete shock for a full five minutes. Which worried the shit out of my poor would-be-husband. Only fair as he'd just given me a heart attack.

I finally managed to accept the implied proposal.

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

"its a boy" twice

"You start Monday"

"If you insist"

"You did that?"

and my favorite

"I adore you"

 

[matriarch]

I would've used those, but I followed the rules.

You do not follow rules. Ever.

You baggage. OK, I'll ask again, now I know you're fully awake (yes you are, you've had at least 3 gallons of coffee today.)

*bends down on very creaky knees, takes hands in mine, looks smiling into your eyes.*

"Will you marry me?"

"Will you marry me?"

There is nothing I want more. Yes. As soon as possible.

 

[3113]

Oh, Sev, your machismo is gonna suffer for this. Look at what a mushy, romantic thread you've created

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Did we just witness an honest AH proposal?

Oh that is so cool!

 

[matriarch]

There is nothing I want more. Yes. As soon as possible.

That's all I want too.
As soon as we can.

Thank you, I love you. With all my heart.

 

[3113]

I think so, but they're also keeping up with three or four threads while they do it. Talk about multi-tasking!

 

[Belegon]

most recent negative:

"Please sit down..."

it preceded very bad news...

most recent positive? just hours ago...

"WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!"

followed by very good news...

 

[minsue]

I think so, but they're also keeping up with three or four threads while they do it. Talk about multi-tasking!

And IM. We have the attention spans of gnats.

We're women.
Comes with the genes.

 

[minsue]

Better that than "Why won't they shut up? That is so annoying!"

 

[matriarch]

Did we just witness an honest AH proposal?

Isn't it just. Someone pop over to Abs and get some champagne and glasses.

 

[matriarch]

Better that than "Why won't they shut up? That is so annoying!"

....or 'get a room, why don't you?"

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Congrats you two!
