Sorry everyone I know it was a bit soppy but hey I wrote it at 3 am watching a certain someone fall asleep.
Hey gang--
Mo and I got engaged last night! No date set - she doesn't even have the "real" ring, just a nice $10 placeholder ring that's a bit too large for her anyway - but still. It's really happy. I put the ring, wrapped with a little red ribbon, in a box of chocolates. A little cheesy, but hey.
Expect to see a lot of prewedding talk in the Blender Rambles over the next N months... (actually, could easily be more than a year, I suppose.)
Congrats to Kirk and Mo on their engagement! And the ring in the chocolate trick is devine, not cheesy at all!! Way to go!
P.A.
Kirk and Mo...
Congratulations!
Wedded bliss is not only possible, but the most wonderful 'place' two can share together...

kirk and mo...wow...too cool...congrats to you two...
everyone...especially that one shady lady who seems to think i'm good at math...ha...well, i've been studying mucho about that wonderful world of numbers...took the first exam today...and i'm not sure how it went...a kinda bad gut feeling...anyway, only three people in the class finished the test...grrrrrrrr...so, i'm stressed about that...
if anyone is a genius when it comes to discrete mathematics, let me know...
as for romance and poetry...*sigh*...
well, that's just a small update on the world of me for those of you who might be wondering if i'm dead or something
take care y'all, and congrats again kirk and mo
gup
*jumps up and down clapping her hands in glee*
Way to go Kirk and Mo!!!!!
*dashs to give both a big gigglin' hug*
Kirk,
I still remember that comment you posted awhile back..."Kirk the Blender Keeper is in LOVE." I am so happy for you and Mo!
Happiness,
Misti

Hot Damn!
Congratulations love birds---okay guys---here's the deal---let send the two of them BLENDERS for wedding presents---I figure they'll get what---50 or 60?
Way to go Mo! Way to go Kirk!
Love, Gala
Lots of warm happy thoughts. Now THERE is a story fit for the Blender. Congrats a hundred times to Kirk.
:) ;) :) ;)
Kirk?
I'm sorry. It occurs to me that the loopy people of this site just might take my lightly made suggestion seriously, and you and Mo might end up up to your bippies in Osterizers...
So officially---I was kidding.....
Let's send them toasters instead!

(running for cover, bound to be banned from the Blender for life!)
Ok--- Here is a good one here--- "Who Wants to MARRY A Millionaire?" A serious 'Pageant' of 50 women submitted for the approval of one anonymous rich man to HONESTLY MARRY after the program? Is something WRONG with this world? (well yes---but) This seems ridiculous to me. Did anyone else watch this? What are the group's thoughts. I am just a little amazed and alot sad.
So much for romance.
Megs
Dear Megs---
I married for love---and have a few friends who married for money---all of the money ladies are miserable---mostly because their spouses treat them like they are "bought and paid for"---which after a fashion, they are.
It's amazing the amount of misery human beings cause themselves. I'll take love every time...and you know, I think most people would...call me a dreamer!
Love,
Gala
Chin up, hon!
Well the show is over and I can barely believe it but the people are married now...that is a lil insane. I mean here they spent two hours in each other's presence and now MARRIED...and not to THINK of how weird it would be to have sex with that person that evening...I mean is it casual sex? You are married after all...Many strange things about our times were shown in that one lil' event.
Just thought I would update my post.
Thanks Gala for giving me faith that not everyone has lost their minds.

On "Who wants to marry a millionaire"
Mo watched this, and I sort of did. It was kind of crass, and I talked back to the tv a lot. But you know, I could almost see it working; I think the entire spectacle *might* form a bonding kind of experience for the two of them. I wouldn't be surprised if the 50 canidates got to see that little "bachelor bio", and they did pay a lot of lip service to the "deeper things". Historically, "arranged" marriages might have as good or better a track record than how we form life partnerships today, though that's a VAST oversimplification of a lot of cultural factors.
Mo asked two intersting questions about it: "do these women have boyfriends?" and later "ok, for the 49 others-- how do you explain this, years from now, to the man you *are* gonna marry?"
Just got a $6 "Best of Blondie" cd- "Call Me", "One Way Or Another", "Heart of Glass", "Rapture", "The Tide is High", "Atomic", 5 others-- I didn't even know these were all Blondie. Great cd. With some romantic content, if you reach a little ;-)
all I have to say .... Long live blondie!!!!
<grins and dashes off stage right>
What I wanted to now is what about a prenup? Not a romantic question but...practical.
In the end he made the best choice...I wish them the best I really do. Hell...they stand as good a chance as anyone.
Think this will be a recurring event on television?
