oh my diety

Post by Heather » Tue Apr 27, 2004 4:58 pm

Late last night my boyfriend woke me up and said:


Heather.... I just wanted to tell you,

I snuck out of the house while you were sleeping a couple weeks ago.

It was about three in the morning...


So I could buy you burning man tickets


:shock:




I don't even know what to do. I just lied there and said nothing for about five minutes and then hugged him. And this came after half the employees got fired from my work, I had my 21st birthday, and I found out I'm going to have to move out of our apartment and into my grandmother's house an hour 45 away so she won't have to go into a nursing home. This has been the wierdest week of my entire life.

I'm wondering if she's feeling completely invalidated by that statement.

Time to pull out the lists! [and the supplies, and plan food, and buy new boots so I can break them in in time, and...]

I'd say marry the guy but I have a strict rule about recommending that commitment only those who have at least three decades under their belts.

Congrats and see you on the playa!

Oooh, oooh Alpha! Care to start your own thread "Should this marraige be (consumated? Arranged? recognized?)" wherein people pour out thier relationship situation and ask for your thumbs up or down?

I believe the Ask Alice thread would be more appropriate for this. "Ask Lydia" would kick ass, too. I don't claim to even understand what decisions I should be making, much less someone else. I was merely stating my reasons for abstaining from making any such recommendation...

I didn't mean for anyone to take your advise seriously... (Not to hurt any feelings...)

hey,
An "Ask Lydia" thread sounds really cool.

And I hope someone has a JD or something for Heather's BF. that guy deserves it. Not that Heather and BM is not going to be enough....

My advice? Make sure that sugar daddy spelled your name right (first & last) and you make up an excuse to hold it for safekeeping.

you know something, Bob may have a point there.

But from what I've read so far and the feeling I get, it seems like it's one of those once in a lifetime adventures. a growing expeience.
If she goes with the flow I think she'll do fine.


enjoy, Heather. :wink:

Mostly I was looking forward to the pure entertainment of a thread dedicated to questions like the following.
Dear Alpha--I'm 40 years old and a couple years ago I realized that I neeeded a baby. So I divorced my husband and found a 25 year-old on the internet to impregnate me. Now I have a baby and I want to regularize things with her father. I pay all the bills and all he has to do is cook and do as he wills with my body. But he won't propose. How do I make my soul mate propose?
Never to be, alas.

AFIAK, no ticket can be put in the name of Mr. Sugar's Current Honey; they need your full forname & surname or it gets tossed in the I Need A Miracle pile, but I could be as wrong as I've been before.

Dear SheWhoPutsTheCartBeforeTheHorse,

You should have set your hooks into your stud before he sees what it's like to change poopy diapers at 3am. A month from now you'll be lucky to get so much as a phone call from The Impregnator. And now your formerly-loving ex-husband is schtupping his secretary and driving a Ferrari. Boy, you really screwed this one up.


See? That's why I don't give advice.

It's my second time going but his first... So adventure, yes, once in a lifetime- Heeeeeeeeeeelll no. I'm goin' HOME!

I don't think he was ready for my "what do we need" ramble... Sounded like scatman john going down the list of things left over from last year.
