Aww Em, sorry to hear you have the flu! I hope you are feeling better really really soon.

Jill, your ring is beautiful

Good morning everyone!

Good morning! I am being a bad girl today...... I skipped church.

I'm in agony today everyone.. feeling like a truck ran over me a couple of times.. spent all night throwing up and now I have the runs.. I HATE the flu. now my bones are aching

Oh noooooooo. I'm so sorry you're so sick. I'm glad you are feeling better today. Gosh, you know what? I haven't had the flu or a cold in the longest longest time. *knock on wood* When I was working in an office I always dreaded whenever someone would get sick and come in to work anyway..... like they're a big hero or something. Because, sure enough, the rest of us in the office would all start dropping like flies with the same thing. If anyone sick ever came to my office I would tell them "Don't come any further and don't touch me."

I am pathetically addicted to the bad girls club.

I'm very happy today.... Glen presented me with the most beautiful "engagement" ring... yes I know it's backwards LOL, but with the cost of immigration and the move he wasn't able at the time to propose with a ring. We knew all along we were going to get married, so we did! I just didn't actually have an engagement ring. I wore my Gran's ring but it's very old and worn so I don't wear it really, plus it's too big. So anyway, today I was out all day and when I came home, he surprised me! There were roses all over the bed, candles on the dresser, and little cardboard hearts he cut out. In the centre was a box, with a ring inside! Oh and champange too! I was thrilled, I just didn't expect it but I am really happy Here's a few pics. We just got home from a romantic dinner

Ohmygosh, Jill! I just got all teary-eyed! What a beautiful ring and what a sweet, romantic, surprise. That is awesome. Congratulations!!!!

He picked out a very pretty ring for you. Tell him we approve

Thanks everyone! I am so happy, I forgot to say something which I wanted to originally. The thing that makes me so happy is that Glen could have put a ring on his CC like a year ago. But he is so financially responsible, which I love. He never charges anything, and if he does it's paid off ASAP. His attitude is if you can't pay cash for it, don't buy it. Obviously not meaning like a car or house but other purchases that are deemed "not necessary" like clothes, jewels, etc. So he saved up for awhile for the special ring, and paid cash for it. That's what I love about him and makes me proud, is his financial smartness. I'd prefer it be paid off than put on plastic LOL. I never cared about the "ring" because I was with the man I love and that's all that matters. But now, I'm super happy to have it

That is awesome. He's a keeper. I think we need an approval stamp. Here we go:

I wish I could think of a witty response to this but I have my brains switched off at the moment. But I'm going to hate it, later, when I do come up with something brilliant and it will be too late to use it. lol

I could repeat my comment later, like around dinner time perhaps?

I have houses on my mind so i'm getting up early - we saw 4 yesterday, well three really since we didn't bother to get out of the car for 1 - seriously - the agent didn't realize it was on 'that end' of the road - which was right beside - and I mean RIGHT beside the highway!

OMG, that totally reminds me of the time I went house-hunting in Canada. The realtor and I were really excited to see this one place in a fabulous area...... we pulled up, I took one look at the place, and said "Let's go." She said "Oh, come on. At least let's take a look inside." So we went inside and practically ran through the rooms and basement, it was so bad. And I mean crackhouse bad. Another realtor and his client had pulled in for a viewing right after us. We told them we wouldn't be long. I think we did it in less than 3 minutes and came out HOWLING. The guys looked at us funny before they went inside because they didn't understand what was so funny. I almost wanted to go back in with them to see their reactions.

so I listed some items for sale on Ebay today and I got two emails from the same guy asking for the price of two different items... I don't have a "buy it now" price on these items, I do have a reserve price though but I don't think I should tell him what he wants to know.. what do you all think ?

[Marilyn. 340]

i responded and told him I was only interested in selling through Ebay and he responded with "me to, it is called, Buy it now" but I told him that I don't have that option yet.. which he would have been able to see from the page

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Em, I'm so sorry you are fighting the flu - not fun at all. Hurry up and feel better soon.,

Jill - a romantic and a responsible, practical man? Wow - he is definitely a keeper. I kept saying "aww, how sweet' reading your story. It really is. I know what you mean about the ring - it is fine not to have one, but it still feels so nice when you do get one:-).

I have the practical, responsible sort of husband - but he tries to be romantic every now and then. When I first came down for a visit he met me at the airport then said we had to go right over to Sam's so he could buy me a dozen roses, hehehehe. He didn't go and buy them ahead of time but waited until I could choose the right colour. See - trying to be romantic and definitely practical! It was very sweet and kind of funny all at the same time.

Good morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. A plumber told us we had an enormous job on our hands, left us with an estimate of $500.00 and had Gene so ticked off on Friday! We called another guy, and he's coming by to fix it today for $150.00, and we bought the parts.

I thought this coffee picture was rather Spring-like. Enjoy your day!

[Flames9_RN 358]

plumbers can be $$$ We called roto rootor, and they wanted $600 to hook up our kitchen sink (just had granite counter tops,and new sink installed) used Craigslist, and a guy did it for $70,lol

[Emancipation 2]

Morning all.. thanks for the well wishes.. I do feel better this morning.. completely drained.. need to get calories in me today, but I feel much better than the weekend. I have an amazing hubby who doted on me all weekend long

GLAD you got that 2nd opinion Carla!! woah.. what a difference!

[Bern. 3]
