Great Lovers Day

1725 - Casanova's Birthday, writer

Carob Bean Day Rumor has it that chocolate can restore the soul - or at least make you feel good. But, what about carob? Is it the "health food" chocolate of the world? When it comes to calories, sugar content and nutrition, there is very little difference. But, carob tastes sweeter than chocolate before they are processed. When you use carob in a recipe instead of chocolate, you can add less sugar.

Some waves breaking on the beach:



Fish party!

Hi everyone....
Well, some real nice couples posted today. Thought I would add mine.

Steve:

LOL! You look quite fetching in that sheet! It's a good look for you!

Thank you. It was my special day, you know.

Special is the right word. Somehow or another this picture got missed yesterday (I think).

Steve, you're a riot. Love the look and congrats.

here's a sergent major (?) and nessie's back

Very demure! But white? Hmmm...

either I need my glasses changed or the UW cam is out of focus.

maybe the lense has too many fish kisses on it.

Cecil - do you think they're squid?

Cecil - do you think they're squid?



Time for a new thread?

Hi guy's...Happy Birthday Bas! and Happy Anniversary Rusty!....my computer is really messed up starts in safe mode...wants me to go back to sept 9th 2001 to reinstall ???not sure..so I don't know how long it will stay "afloat"..we go away to Bahamas next Weds. so hope to keep it up and running till then...If you don't here from me between now and then...its "gone under"...(WHAT WILL I DO!)

Steve your picture is hysterical....

As usual, as work gets boring, tedious or just on my nerves, I can come here and laugh! Bluto rules Steve! You all have years on me and my sweetie, (we've know each other for 18 years, but only been a couple for 1 1/2!) but it sure is nice to see people still crazy about each other after all these years...or is it just crazy after all these years??? In any case, have a great Lovers Day all!!

I did something like that too, Andrea. We were together for 10 years before making it legal. We've been married for 3

It's weird how things work out sometimes...but, timing is everything! Some fish ballet going on...

lovely little wrasse dance.

Bob and I worked together for three years and ignored each other completely. We were both DJs and the management gave him my good Saturday afternoon shift and bumped me to 6am. So I hated him.

Not a morning person, Rusty? LOL

The noon to six was PRIMETIME and he got it. The last three weeks before I moved away to a job in Maine - we fell utterly, madly in love. Then I moved away for five years! We didn't see each other for five years. Is this boring you?

boring me? no. I just had to go out and water the plants, check on the catapillar/crysalis, get dinner on the stove.... I think how we met stories are facinating.

It's strange that you ignored each other for so long, only to be parted at the first hint of true love. I guess you kept in touch during those 5 years?

Mine, on the other hand, was love at first sight. Alas, I was in an unhappy marriage and had no clue as to Jim's feelings on the subject. So we knew each other as friends for 2 years before I got out of the other match and he finally professed his love. (think I should write one of those sleezy romance novels) LOL

I called him once in a while when I was on the all night shift at WABK in Augusta, ME but we lost touch when I moved to WDIZ in Orlando. When I came up to visit my Dad one summer I decided to try Bob's phone number and see if he was still around. Yep. So I invited him to spaghetti dinner at Dad and Jo's and he stayed for a week - til I went back home. Then he packed up his carpentry business and moved South. We got married two weeks later! He planned the whole thing while I was working mid-days. Surprise!! (Kids, don't try this at home. It doesn't always work out!!)

It took me awhile to find this. My "Great" Lover and wonderful partner. My husband Ric this was taken at our son's wedding this past summer.

Nice pic Holly. Another common thread, my son got married last may.

I find it hard to believe you're old enough to have kids getting married, Holly! You too, Cindy. You're my age and I don't feel old enough to HAVE kids yet! LOL

Rusty, 4 children 30,26,26,19 Oldest daughter and youngest son married. I don't think the twins (boy & girl) will for a long time. Julie married at 19 one year after H.S. graduation and still is. Jamie got engaged at Christmas, H.S. Graduation in May & Married in August. On his wedding day he was only 18 and didn't have a single doubt about what he was doing. He's growing into a very nice young man.

Daughters Julie,Jen Wedding Couple Deb,Jamie Son Josh Son-inlaw Andy

Rusty, I don't feel old enough either. I only have the one, but he'll be 26 next month. He was married at 19 and divorced 8 months later. This one will last. They've already been together 5 years and she treats him much better than the 1st wife.

Nice pic Holly. Lovely children.
