A year ago I met my boyfriend

That's a GREAT photo of both of you (and I don't find it blurry). You found yourself one handsome dude.

Report on what you had to eat, please.

You just reminded me of a great Fasching night in Germany (for those who don't know, it USED to
be a wild time when many social rules were cast aside -- it has mellowed to a months-long costume
party season ending (like Mardi Gras) on Fat Tuesday (though they don't call it that).
.
My ex was dressed as a Daisy Mae hillbilly girl in Daisy Dukes and pigtails and big freckles drawn on
and several teeth blacked out (normally, she was unbelievably stunning). My buddy and I were
dressed in nothing but bedsheet diapers, me with combat boots and he with cowboy boots (he was
from Oklahoma) and huge pacifiers. My ex had fixed our hair with little baby topknots. This was just
fine in the gasthaus we went to that was having its Fasching party that night.
.
But we got tipsy and in the mood for Italian food and decided to walk to the fine Italian restaurant
about a block away.
.
This is how cool Germany was. The maitre d' didn't blink at all and simply escorted us to our table
and everyone treated us as though we HAD worn the formal clothing that was usually required
there.
.
I miss Nurnberg for so many reasons.

As said, I am very happy with him ... inside and outside

Regarding Fasching ... depending on where you are, it is still mainly about drinking. I admit I am not a big fan of the Fasching/Fasnet/Karneval time.

Did you ever have the chance to go around Nurnbergring in a fast car? I've always wanted to do that.

...shipped over from the States. THAT would have been FUN!!!

I went to high school in the mid-late '70's. A friend of mine had one of these, it was green. One day, after smoking a lot of weed, he decided he didn't like the wing, so he cut it off. I protested, to no avail. What a dumb ass he was.

I think he agrees with you if I may say so

You two met a few weeks after my wife and I got married on November 5, 2011. It was the anniversary of our first date, so although we've been married a year we've been together for two years. And we were about the same age as you when we met. I'm 40 and she's 41 now.

I'm so glad you found someone. I remember you having difficulty in finding the right person and I kept thinking to myself that shouldn't be right! You're such a sweet person.

Wow, you are already married a year? I still remember when you posted about meeting Jen and when you posted the wedding pics. I am happy for both of you as well.

Thanks Tobin, I am happy day by day that I met my bf. He is the best that has happened to me.

Regarding why I took so long ... I sometimes joke that I decided to skip the first divorce

You know his leaning his body and head into you is body language for love. It would never happen if he wasn't in love with you. And you're body language shows you certainly are accepting that love. You're leaning back.

for the insight in the body language. I am more than accepting his love. I am returning it.

the best way to accept it. It's obviously mutual.

for the two of you! Wishing you and your beau all the best!

Hmmmm . . . makes me think that there's still hope four me?

Thank you!!!!

I am romantic enough to say there is always hope.

You look like you're made for each other. I'm so happy for both of you.

I like to think so. He is calming me when I get too hectically and I am pushing him when he is getting too lazy. It just fits.

We had Riesling with the dinner

I'm happy for you both!

I'm thrilled to hear that things are working out for you!

I am very happy with my bf. Best man I ever met. For me at least

Still, I wish you were around more. I miss your pictures and reports of your adventures.

Enjoy this fabulous time! I wish you all the best.

I enjoy every day with my bf, believe me

I have to admit, I am around, but mostly lurking.

Bon Appétit

we had a fantastic dinner. Main course was lamb with parmesan potatoes.

So when is the wedding?

No plans for a wedding yet. But we do want to get married. First we move together though and then we will see how it continues.

Enjoy your dinner.

Hurray! July isn't too far off in the future.

We had a wonderful and very delicious dinner.

And I know July will be here before I know it. It will be the first time that I will live together with a man since I moved out from my parents. So it will be very interesting for me to see how that will work out. I look forward to it though.

We've been thinking of you.

I wanted to share this with my online friends

Congrats!

Thanks!!!

Nothing beats true love

I remember you giving me good advice years ago when I found out that my back then bf cheated on me.

I've come a long way since then.

My now bf is THE man for me. And I love him dearly

what will you do with your condo?

I will rent out my condo. So if you know someone who looks for a place to live in Frankfurt starting next August ....

Lounge doesn't see you as often as we'd like! I miss your daily photos.

Have a lovely dinner tonight, and a happy lifetime together.

Yeah, I am more outside these days than in front of the PC. Seems like I have a life suddenly

But I am not forgetting about you guys

The dinner was fantastic.

:joy:

I am very happy with him

drawn us closer. 23 1/2 years later and I still adore him. Wishing the very same for you.

It is good to hear that I am not the only "late bloomer"

Happy for you.
Miss the travel reports, too.

No travel reports these days. Been "only" visiting a friend in the U.S. this year.

best wishes to many more years of happiness together.
