Now we get to sit back and see if WRO takes the heap of sage advice we've set upon his lap and says "bon voyage" the manipulative snatch, or see if he pussies out, spends $3K on a rock, and makes another post 6 months from now about his fiancee running off with his own brother.

PS--According to Oxford American Dictionary:

If you have to ask...

And the fact that you are asking a bunch of fisherman just means that you are double-fooked.

The question is....are you loving who she is.......or who you think she is? If she needs a lot...or you do...the road will be rocky and uphill. If neither of you need much, the road will just be uphill. Good Luck.

He knew what advice he wanted to get, so he asked fishermen and sure enough got it.

I'm very very happy in my marriage, but the idea of proposing under some veiled or not-so veiled threat is crazy nuts.

Glad to see you made the right decision. Now stick to your guns. Pun intended.

Update, Killed 5 woodie drakes, and 2 teal + my dog got its first retrieve. And no one to worry about at my house.. Tip top I tell ya tip top.

I've been lucky enough to garner myself...

1. A beautiful, smart, and talented lady,

2. The ability to fish about 100 days per year, including my yearly 30 day trip in the spring,

3. who's been with me for almost nine years...

...and...

4. no ring yet.

It doesn't have to be either/or...they're out there.

Hell, she sounds pretty good...mebbe I oughta marry her

Fish on...

Todd

You'd better before I come up there and steal her from you..... Sounds like my kind of woman.

Of course if she puts up with you at all she must be a progressive. Wouldn't get along with me. We'd be the Bickersons

You said it already, "I am not sure if I am ready". Read, you are not ready. Don't get hitched on a threat. Nothing good will come of it.

smart guy you are....

She is...but she likes the wine you've sent, so you have an automatic "in"...plus, she doesn't always "get along" with me, either ...

...except for on all the important things, which is why we've managed nine years and are still going strong.

We'll come by and visit next time we're in your neck of the woods, unless we see you this spring up here first!

Fish on...

Todd

Wine is an aphrodisiac. Give someone wine and they'll follow you home.

I'm trying hard to make plans for the spring and hopefully I'll be successful in getting up that way.

If you make it down here I'll take you up to "The Valley" and won't talk politics the whole time.....maybe just a little.

Unless provoked, I'm good at leaving religion and politics at home when I go fishing...or at least at camp

No worries. If the boy gets elected we won't have a Navy very long. The Ruskie's are aggressively getting it going with Venezuela, Iran is tooling up. Meanwhile Barrack Hussien Obama is promising to neuter the military and take away all the nukes. I would say that we probably have bigger fish to fry. If not get hitched and raise a family. That's what life is all about.

No kidding, huh?

I'd better really think about this vote.

Does Obama eat little babies for dinner, too?

No, that's Tyson.

You must not look here too often. He's not my boy first off, and for christ sake I was asking degenerate fishermen for there opinions on a life issue, not FUKING political input. I can't wait for this abortion of an election to end so I can read SOL's posts about his sexual exploits and enjoyment of all things green, see mergantrioder show us all how to be metrosexual, and get insights on other interesting information (bikini thursday). I frankly could care less at this point if we have a Crakcer/milf or African American/cracker in the executive office there both going to FUK sh!t up in the end. I know they are going to Fuk up my life, I was just checking on whether or not I should help them out.

I wish the filter would have picked up *coon*. I don't think that's very cool.

It's well beneath pretty cool. It's a reflection on the person who uses the term, and not a favorable one. Whatever else he may have to say is diminished by his lack of class. The funny thing is he undoubtedly thinks he's superior to those he insults.

Kone Zone's use of 'the boy' is another bigoted remark.

But some people are like that, petty, small, and afraid.

But hey, as repugnant as statements like those are, I say let 'em look like bigots.

They'll be reminded of it regularly, and so they'll have ample opportunity to defend themselves..................

I guess that's KZ's (krzy's) definition of free speech.

Freedom to post like a racist.
