And you have a gift for writing girl! Ha ha, “holy sleazebucket”,…never heard that one before…and “Maybelline eyebrows had half melted off…” I laughed out loud several times.

Yes! I want to hear how he proposed! Please Josie tell us more!!

Josie -- I loved reading your story about meeting your hubby. I would love to meet a man with his qualities.

How long did it take you to weed out 200 men???

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I have underwear that lasted longer than most relationships. Mostly my fault though. I have standards and if they don't meet them, I'm outta there.

Standards like

a) No smoking
b) Light drinker
c) Loves children, any age
d) Loves to read/travel/cook
e) Doesn't have a mother, never did
f) Doesn't have children
g) Likes short, fluffy women
h) Has money running out the ying yang and wants me to have it
i) Has money run---what? Hey, it's MY list.
j) Knows how to fix plumbing, cars, and build things

And those are just the pre-dating questions.

Josie, what a beautiful story! Thanks so much for posting it.

I've been speed-reading through BWS during lunch but had to stop and tell you how much this made my day.

Josie, Thank YOU! and, may I borrow your line "Thank you God, for reminding me that no matter how dark life can be, you still have rainbows to make" for the poem funnin' thread? I'd love to have a poem with that in it... and you and some other very talented members could make that happen!

JJ, add to your list:

Josie,
Did I say, I love your story about meeting Mr. Right! That's a heartwarming tale, girl!

JJ,
That list of yours, is my list, too. Except he has a mom. But
hey, nobody is perfect! But the rest, sounds like my hubby, almost!

Gims,
I like that statement of Josie's, too. It's profound!

I may have touched base online with about 400 men overall in a period of about 2 years. Most were weeded out in 15 minutes or less, but many more got the boot within a week of our initial online meeting.

In those days, we didn't have the relationship sites you have today. (I'm not sure I'd join them anyway. I prefer places where people who have common interests meet and interact) I went to many chat rooms on AOL, the mIRC, and other places.

In my heart I knew, "all it takes is ONE person." So I kept on plugging away until I met that ONE.

For those of you who are looking, remember that your significant other is looking for you RIGHT NOW! Isn't that amazing? And here you are reading silly me....lol

Thanks very much, Meredith. You have no idea how much your post meant to me as well. Josie smile
