No more word verification! What a happy day!
I totally missed the lack of word verification on my first post. Definitely with you on the oh happy day
Yeah I did that for you guys. Glad you appreciates it.
Wow no word verification. Now I'll have a first. Usually it takes me 2 or 3 tries.
So many firsts.
Happy Anniversary. Dad and I are so proud of you.
I would like to note that its already time for a new post as Karin's comment was too long and I'm already tired of scrolling the screen
noted. Click on the "said" by her name to hide what she says.
Don't forget you brought an unluckly four-leaf clover back from Iowa.
Hmm, I might have to write some code to permanently just close of everything Karin says
first they want comments, then they don't. Make up your minds!!! :)
Woah there Sparky. I didn't say anything about you not commenting.
a little birdie pointed out your list did not include anything about the fact that one of your brothers got married for the first time - you're now an in-law and you have an in-law!
in-law? Hmmmm....somethings are just to painful to talk about.
Too bad that in-law didn't go swimming in the creek. I knew those discs kept wandering there for a reason
and i, for one, would love to get an email, phone call or IM without Erin begging me to comment on her poor neglected blog
I do all the time. You just don't register that it is me.
Who else do you think calls you at 2am and breaths deeply into the phone.
Nah, I just do that to you Justin because I know you like it. If I did that to Karin I might get Nick. And that would just be too creepy.
Ahh valid point. Well keep it coming. I don't know if I'd ever fall asleep with out the calls
i was suprised erin didn't send me a telegram while I was in europe to tell me to comment on her blog. i would have if only I had known the word verification was no more. happy day!!
Nick? Answer the phone? You're living in a dream world!
Happy 1 yr anniversary! Enjoy number 2!
Some of these teasers made me want to know more! Couldn't you make each one a link and then I could click on it and get the whole glorious story.
from Sandy, Karin's aunt
Hey Sandy, not sure I could make links, but if you want to know about one let me know and I would be happy to elaborate on them. :)
