How my girlfriend and I got together...
by, daverbee

OK. In 1997, I used to post a lot at the MST3K Caption This! board on the SciFi Network website. I used the name Steve_Reeves. (Still do at the Inventing Situations site)
One Saturday afternoon, I noticed someone posting using the name EmpressVC. As a joke, I asked her if I had saved her in one of my movies. We got to joking about that and she eventually asked me if it would be OK if she e-mailed me. I said yes and we began a regular correspondence with each other.
After several month, it became obvious that we enjoyed much of the same things, laughed at the same things, and had many of the same thoughts about the world in general. In one e-mail, she told me how she really felt and I realized that I was falling for her as well.
I don't know if I knew I loved her then or not, but I knew from the start that something special was happening.
She flew over to Florida from San Jose in 1998 and we saw each other for the first time. We had exchanged photos so we both knew what to expect.
She spent two weeks here with me. I went over to San Jose in 1999 to see her and the following year she drove over with all her stuff and has been a full time part of my life ever since.
I don't know if we would have gotten together if we had seen each other first. I know I fell in love with her heart and mind before I saw her and I think she feels the same way.
She's one of the most determined people I've ever met, is honest almost to a fault, and devoted to me as I am to her.
When I had heart problems in December 2000, she spent the week I was in the hospital sleeping in the waiting room of the CVICU. Not even my own family did that!
The years we spent apart before she moved here I think solidified what we have because we learned each other from the inside out. It wasn't fun to be so far apart, but it drew us closer just the same. Alhough it is tough, anyone who does begin an internet romance can get through it. If we did, anyone can!

[Hermione]

omg daverbee.. that was the nicest story I have heard in a long time:)

[daverbee]

Thanks! It kinda makes me feel good every time I think about how lucky we were.
How goes the university search?

[zenbabe]

God bless the internet.

[madasacutsnake]

My friend met her boyfriend by running over him in her car. Took his jacket, T-shirt and four layers of skin off his back.

[Audreyvgs]

That's one way to save yourself from a lawsuit.

[zenbabe]

I bet that guy never gets on her bad side!!

[Coffee]

Awesome story DaverBee.
Very encouraging I must say, very encouraging indeed. ;)
The getting to know each other without the distraction of...ahem...you know...def seems like a huge advantage .

MST3K :D :D
I loved that show, never bothered to see if there was a message board though.... I have seen a Monty Python fan message board.
Why...I bet there must be Red Dwarf and Little (farking) House on the Prarie message boards somewhere too huh?

*coffee descends into madness with thoughts of message boards stretching to infinity, great loops of threads linking monkeys on different boards*
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooo

[Deviate]

MST3K was one of the most brilliant shows ever to be on television. i used to stay up every Friday night to watch that show. then with its popularity it became every Fri and Sat, then every weekday as well, then afternoons....

You have to wear aluminum foil on your head, silly.

it's 3 am here & tin foil on your head sounds like a bloody brilliant idea. no, i've not been drinking. much.

yeah, who'd have thought to put a LINK in the LINKS section?

this one was where you were talkin to imdrsmooth....

I was talkin about floralnewsprint maybe posting it in the active stories forum, under a new freeverse thread.

I wasn't being sarcastic, that'd go in another thread, and I ain't got it in me.


:)

[floralnewsprint]

Oh GOOODY!!!!!
Is that gift certificate depositable in a bank?

The bank of random messaging and strangely berzerk word passages?
Payable in???


I am wholly happy,
exhiliratingly humbled,
randomly flabbergasted,
not to mention sad, bored and lascivious on occassion.

Thanks fellows.

I think I'll check that other board out...


Breathe a sigh of relief, it's the eternally bowing consciousness!!

Did you know the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows..?

I saw it last year.. I shall see it again this year to make sure.. interesting..

[Audreyvgs]

Kind of a long wait in line to see if they grew, eh?

[daverbee]

So, Leonardo not only painted his own portrait in women's clothing and without a beard, he also painted himself with shaved eyebrows?
That's dedication to one's art!

[Audreyvgs]

what's that saying, something like "in for an ounce, in for a pound"

maybe its because they didnt have sex change operations back then!

i just keep on trying to find any subliminal messages.. hmm..

Well I had the Gov test today.. multiple choice was super easy.. did 50 questions in 20 mins.. all about court cases so it was okay.. free response was a killer. It doesn't matter though.. as long as I got an A on the multiple choice.. I should get a B on the test.. yayy..

Tomorrow I find out what I got on my stats test

thanks for the good thoughts everyone:) :)

[chuckie egg]

Well done surb, I'm sure you'll do fine. :)

When are you coming to Manchester??

[daverbee]

Good job, surb! Now you can concentrate on Spring Break!

[Hermione]

Thanks guys =)

I really wanted to come to Manchester this summer for holiday but I think we are going to Scotland. I got a lot of info about going to uni at Manchester this fall.. but I'll probably come out there for law. My friend's brother is studying medicine there.

[funkytuba]

Buster is the name of a demonic beagle that we attempted to babysit for one weekend. This dog was purported to be "crate trained". Owners apparently thought that "crate trained" meant that the dog would allow itself to be put bodily into the crate, but afterward would howl incessantly and unceasingly.

I was coming down with pneumonia at the time, and we had to reneg on hosting said canine.

[Audreyvgs]

My Halloween Pumpkin just collapsed!!!! Just keeled over and rotted!

She started hitting me & I had Leo in my arms :mad: , anyway, eventually I got leo to safety & managed to calm her down & get her to sit down & talk. She wanted to beat me up because I had had a relationship with her boyfriend (who wasn't her boyfriend at the time), anyway, she eventually aditted that she wasn't pregnant, but she'd just said that to get the said boyf back. How annoying is that????

pretty ironic considering the most "terrifying" peeps on our planet are working for the afore mentioned administration...an administration that has proven itself to be more outragous in its fiction writing than any hollywood type is capable of...hell...in hollywood the plot devices they use are often at least plausible in order to make the stories believable.

NEWSFLASH...terrorists bent on destroying the letter and spirit of the US Constitution have infiltrated the highest levels of the US presidential administration. They are using taxpayer's money to spin lies and deceptions designed to further their terrorist aims.

ok...so you already knew that.

I'm sure you'll end up okay :)

I say you show that stupid school just how dumb they were by being tops at the college you do go to. THEN they'll beg you to do your law degree with them -- or, you could show 'em and then transfer next year. Don't sweat it. I have a feeling you'll do just fine.

Dear Maurice the tiny beast,

I am so sorry that you will not have a chance to meet my kitties. I am crying as I write this because I am so sad that they will not have the chance to meet you. Mostly I am crying cuz your mommy, the woman I love, is going to lose you very soon, and I feel her pain as if you were my own kitty. I wish I could give you a huge cat hug right now and a kiss on your milkstache. I am so very glad that I did have a chance to meet you myself. I will remember you fondly.

Love,
Me.


P.S.
**** You Feline Leukemia. **** you to hell!!!

[nycwriters]

Aw man, I'm sorry. That's very sad. :(

[daverbee]

Coffee, you and catbelly can take comfort in the fact that Maurice had a comfortable and happy life while he was living with Miz Belly.
It'll always hurt to think of your loss, and that's the way it should be because it shows how much you love him. He will live on in your hearts and he's moving on now to make room for another lonely cat that needs some lovin'.

[Abby Normal]

Awww. That's very sad. I'm going to go hug my cats and get kitty fuzz all over my shirt now.

[nycwriters]

I'm being a fvcking moron at work tonight. I can't believe I missed that. Someone shoot me.

It was something small, but I don't like making mistakes. Here it becomes a big circus freakin' performance if you do.

Sounds like me. That's one reason I like working alone in the shop. If something gets screwed up, I know who did it! :p

I like that too. Hard to ask the boss for raises though. But easier to wrangle a weekday off.

In my last "job" I discoverd that when something goes missing, it doesn't get found till you accuse someone of taking it...then it shows up right under your nose shortly after making an ass of yourself...so I still accuse myself or the cats of taking shite when I lose stuff...it helps...try it.

And thnx for your thoughtful words about Maurice :)

[catbelly]

yes... thank you everyone :)

Aw Coffeeman your post made me all teary at work :(

I finally finished a job I've been working on for two weeks!
I feel like the Ancient Mariner must have when somebody finally took that albatross off his neck...

[Avalon]

I am hoping this finds Catbelly feeling a wee bit better and at peace with her decision. I cried real hard for you today..I have been there, done that..and I have a houseful of furry kids...so I know I will be there again:( Anything I can do..just let me know.

[Hermione]

I just got my nails done.. pretty pale pink and on my toes I got white flowers with silver in the middle.. prettyy =)

[Hermione]

well.. Prom is coming up in May..

I bought a dress.. because I fell in love with it..

there is a picture of it online..

I was wondering if it was okay to wear to prom.. or if it wasn't formal enough...?

keep in mind the dress I bought was pink not red (as shown)

http://www.bcbg.com/sp04/web/index2.html
1. go to spring/summer
2. then go to ready to wear
3. go to the second to last page.. the last page has a girl wearing a white bikini.. the one before has bikinis and three red dresses
4. my dress is the last red one.. the one with the ruffles it's called the ROUGE ACETATE JERSEY AND SILK CHIFFON DRESS

what do you think? it looks kind of ugly on the website but in person it is super cute.

[daverbee]

That's the spirit, surbhi! If something doesn't work out the way you wanted, do something nice for yourself! Works every time!

[nycwriters]

I think it's pretty hon -- a fun, party dress. Are you going to wear your hair up or down?

[priceyfatprude]

It's almost identical to my Senior Prom dress. Go for it!

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas a gigantic nuclear furnace where hydrogen is fused into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees the sun is hot the sun is not a place where you can live but here on earth there’d be no life without the light it gives we need its heat we need its light the sunlight that we see our sun’s light comes from our own sun’s atomic energy

Hoorah! Just in time for your hols! :D

When we first moved in to the farm, we had no idea how much things cost. The cuban family that owned the feed store took pity on us, and sometimes we didn't pay for the feed for months at a time. We finally caught up, after years of them floatin us, and we've been good friends. The old man got cancer and died yesterday...I feel bad.

My cat needs the last trip to the vet today.

My best friend Deb's husband had some sort of mid-life crisis and quit his job yesterday. I asked her what one does when their husband loses his mind. I love him like a brother but I could kill him for doin this.

Today's Nico's birthday, but we have to go to a funeral first.

they put a picture of my pelican sign on the front of the local section today, complete with credits. They chopped off the Bink's HEAD!
http://www.naplesnews.com/
Damn! It's on the first page of the website!

What a freakin day.

[nycwriters]

Oh man, when it rains, it pours. What a rough day m'luv.

*gives Aud a big hug*

I hope tomorrow is better.

[catbelly]

Wow, Aud that is really a nutty day. Maurice's last trip was yesterday, maybe he and your kitty can meet up on the way to never-never-land and have a beer or two ... or some ham (LOL the only thing he would eat this last week, poor little dude).

Happy birthday to Nico!

Yeah - well, he's so cute maybe they thought he was too distracting ;)

What an all-time crummy day. *more hugs*

[Avalon]

So sorry about your day Aud:( Sending good thoughts and hugs your way.

Oh, and Birthday Greetings to Nico:)

[red]

bummer.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you Aud.

[funkytuba]

heh... sorry aud...

but the caption was "Hey! there's a new sign!"

not, "Hey! Bink's walkin' past the new sign..."


Be grateful for the publicity...though the perspective makes it look like the dude in the back is pissing on the sign.


As to the rest of it... "this, too, shall pass".. I hope it passes quickly and doesn't honk too loud on the way by.

[Frieda]

oh my god

oh my god!! i have so many things to do and so little time!

[nycwriters]

Crap.

There's massive uprisings all over Iraq. They're storming cities and "taking them back," killing many soldiers. The Norwegians and Ukraninans have pulled out, abandoning their weapons.

Along with Xerocs, my ex bf is over there.

:(

[Magpie]

My angelic 7 yr old just said to her 13 yr old brother, "Get away from me freak! You are terminally ill in the HEAD!"

I am so proud.

[red]

I hope Xerocs is okay.

[fodder]

i signed on yim for the first time in forever awhile ago and had a message waiting from xerocs. it was a goodbye of sorts, looked like it was sent out to all zefrankers but still i = :)

Answer: Miter Saws

Question: What would the past tense of "miter sees" be ?


HA! I just keep giggling everytime I read it!

[daverbee]

Well, as near as I can tell, here's my plans for my vacation:

On Saturday, I'm going here (http://hikingthecarolinas.com/looking_glass_rock.php) , weather permitting. Weather not permitting, I'll go here (http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/beaver/2/id19.htm).
On Sunday, I'm gonna take my sister here (http://www.blueridgeparkway.org/). Specifically the area between Balsam Gap and Mt. Pisgah.
On Monday, I'm meeting my friend Dana and we're going here (http://www.hikingthecarolinas.com/mt__camerrer.php), weather permitting. We've been talking about doing this for a while and it never happened. We figure it's about time.
Weather not permitting, we'll go here (http://www.cherokeemuseum.org/).
Tuesday I'm gonna spend the day watching the carpet installers put new carpet in my Mother's house. I'll also watch the building inspector make sure all the renovations my brother-in-law made aren't gonna burn the place down or flood the bathrooms.
On Wednesday, I'm going here (http://www.biltmore.com/). I love this place! As a carpenter and gardener it's a must see.
On Thursday, I can't find a link to where I'm going. It's near this (http://hikingthecarolinas.com/toppage1.php) but not listed. My friend Rich and I noticed on a previous hike that the trail we'll walk ends where a creek comes off a long drop into a gorge. We're wondering if there's a waterfall to see there. We'll find out! If you're curious, it's called Seniard Ridge Trail in Pisgah National Forest.Maybe you can find something about it.
On Friday, I'll go here (http://www.ils.unc.edu/parkproject/visit/gorg/home.html) since I've never been before.
Saturday I'll come home.
Dunno if I'll have access to the internet while I'm there. I'm taking my Mother's WebTV setup there to get it going as she'll be up there for Spring, Summer, and Fall. If I do, I'll try and find time to send updates on whether I've been eaten by a bear or fallen off a cliff.
In the tradition set by Aphrodite, if anyone would like a postcard, PM or email me your address and I'll send one to you! Might not get them sent off until I get home, but I'll collect some while out and about and post them when I get back.
Have fun, monkeys!

[Audreyvgs]

Well, MamaKitty's talkin to Maurice now.

and then yesterday I thought my printer died as well, but as soon as I called for a new one, the light popped back on....like it heard me.


I'm glad MamaK's happy now.

Pike, the new outdoor kitty arrives at the end of this month with my sis's new BF John. White with a black tail and a smudged face, from what I hear. Bink was very distraught this am, but looking forward now to Pike.

[daverbee]

Sorry to hear about all your troubles, Aud!
Hopefully the new cat will fit right into your menagerie!

[Avalon]

Sorry about your mama kitty. ( I also have a resident stray by the same name; it was her mate who died 2 weeks ago. )
Hope Bink cheers up; I am sure the new kitty will do the trick. Keep us informed. Give Bink an Easter squeeze for me:)

[Audreyvgs]

definitely! thanks!

[Spicy Jack]

Wow daver. I am thrilled for you! Since I am vicariously living through you, I have to admit, I'm excited for our trip! Just don't get hurt!!!


*Clean out your PM box*

[daverbee]

I'll try and keep y'all up to date. Usually when I get home from one of these excursions I have just enough energy to shower, eat, and sleep.
Cleaning now...

[rapscalious rob]

To those who have tried to message me: My PM box has now been cleared. I now have 0 total and 0 new messages in all my folders.

[daverbee]

Me, too.

[lapietra]

*whew*

That's a relief. ;)

[daverbee]

I knew that'd make your day! :D

[Spicy Jack]

Daverbee has a clean box. :o

In the news:

'Starbucks Corp.'s extensive coffee-based beverage lineup is about to get a different kind of jolt.

The Seattle-based coffee shop chain, along with the Jim Beam unit of Fortune Brands Inc., is developing a premium coffee liqueur to be sold in bars, restaurants and liquor stores.'

GO Starbucks!

no, this is not near the farm, this is like 7 miles into town.

[Spicy Jack]

Beautiful!

[Abby Normal]

Randomness:

I am going to get a person to jump on people who aggravate me. He will be called Gimli, and he will also throw acorn squash.

[lapietra]

I think a better plan would be for him to throw the acorn squash *first*; then, when the annoyer is properly stunned, Gimli can jump on them.

Are you sure you want him to throw acorn squash though? Those things can be permanently disfiguring if you throw them just right... ;)

[Abby Normal]

Exactly! Maybe I should throw a potato first, then get Gimli to jump, then have him throw the squash.

[lapietra]

Good idea - easier to aim close up :)

What kind of potato? A larger variety, like Russet or Yukon Gold, or some of those little pink baby potatoes? That could be fun... oo oo ooo! You could have him pelt them for awhile with the little pink ones (just to annoy them ;)) then bean them with a big one...

Maybe this is getting too complicated?

[Spicy Jack]

would gimli wear a costume?

[Avalon]

I think gimli should look like Golum and just wear his skivvies. Just the look of him would stun people.
OR he should be extraordinarily plain and wear a 3 piece suit and look oh, so proper. That way when he pelts them, it will be a total surprise.

[noxxville]

i need a laundry gimli. I won't use him to torture people, just to do the laundry. Ok.....maybe I'll have him toss the occasional acorn squash....

"Devotees offer flowers to Tapawsiary Bapu, 37, an Indian Hindu holy man who has buried himself neck down in the ground for meditation for 10 days at Pathapur, 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Ahmadabad, Friday, March 26, 2004. Bapu began his meditation on March 20 and will emerge from the hole on March 29. "

[Avalon]

That caption is all wrong, Jack.
This is a photo of an unfortunate victim of gimli. He has repeatedly pissed off his friends ( seen here helping gimli get a clean shot) and they hired gimli out of desperation. As you can see from the photo, he knows what's coming next.
