Damn guys! I get back from my trip and look what happens!
It's almost 10, and at dinner I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She said yes! My mom and her mom both cried and it was a very special moment.
There is no way in hell is the dog being the ring bearer. I predict our moms and her sister are going to make my life hell when we pick a date.

Thanks Poppet,
I was looking for a gift for her to bring back from the UK, and saw a ring that she would love and just figured "why not". We've been together 5 years.

Yes, all this is interesting.
But we want a definitive statement that you are not Batshitmentalist.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 5 Aug 2010, 7:13, Reply)

well Roger's mum is still alive.
Batshitmentalist's mum isn't - she passed away a couple of years ago I think. I'd say that's pretty definitive.

I just had a great night last night apart from waking up at 3.30am due to jetlag. Enough with the Batshitmentalist stuff already.

I've now realised you are a real person.

Now if certain folks were to be believed,
this would mean, father dearest, that you were planning to take a fourth wife and in doing so commit bigamy.

Being a more level-headed fellow, I would instead like to offer you, young Kenneth, my heartiest congratulations.
