That's awesome. Does your future son in law know how much you approve of him?

[SeattleGirl]

20. Yes he does.

In fact, I told him that he didn't have to worry about me being a meddling MIL. He said, "Unles I don't treat her right." I said, "You got that right. And she will find my boot planted on her behind if she doesn't treat YOU right." My daughter said, "Wow, my mom REALLY likes you!" :woohoo:

[Laelth]

Very nice to hear that you like your son-in-law to be. That will make things much easier on your daughter. Happy days!

[khashka]

64. Your post demands this response

We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
’tis here where hell and heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
Well we think you’d better wake up cap’n
There’s something happen’n up ahead
We’ve never seen anything like it
We’ve never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
That’s it
What do you mean, that’s it?
That’s all you get
You’d better do something ’bout it
What am I supposed to do about it?
We don’t know, but you can’t run away from it
Maybe you’d better face it
I can’t do that
C’mon face it!
I can’t do that
C’mon, c’mon face it
What am I gonna do?
It is gonna hurt, it is gonna hurt me bad?
Ooh here’s the constellation of the heart
Who said anything about it hurting?
It’s gonna be beautiful
It’s gonna be wonderful
It’s gonna be paradise
(just being alive, it can really hurt...)
Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars
(without the pain there’d be no learning
Without the hurting we’d never change.)
Oooh and if you see the woman with the key
I hear she’s opening up the doors to heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said he’d fish me out the moon
Oh oh here’s the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart
Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart

67. That's wonderful. I can only offer an image in response:

[khashka]

68. You know me too well

I LOVE lightning!

Here in Texas we get great thunderstorms. And I always go out in them. Sometimes the lightning shoots from cloud to cloud or straight up into the air. And I stand there with my arms spread wide, crying "yes, yes, yes!"

Ok, not everyone's cup of tea, two sugars, milk and a Digestive biscuit. But it rocks me.


Khash.

[khashka]

62. Congrats!

All happiness to your baby!

Now..... don't turn into that bitch mother-in-law! (I know you won't! But I had to say it!)


Love is often in short supply. And we suffer and burn and live through hell hoping our kids will find it. I'm so glad you are happy, even gladder that your daughter is :)


Khash.

[SeattleGirl]

63. Thanks khash

Having had a bitch of an MIL in a previous marriage, it the LAST thing I want to be!
