I posted about this in my lizard thread but it got ignored, due to the whole iguana thing. So I went to St Thomas for my brothers wedding. I called K from St Thomas when I got there. I also wrote her a ton of post cards. I also picked her up some sea shells and a nice necklace and earring set. When I got home I stopped by her house on the way to my place. I gave her the necklace/earrings and also gave her daughter a stuffed animal I picked up for her. I mentioned that I had sent her some postcards and she said that they hadn’t arrived yet. We took a walk to the mail box with Ks daughter in tow. On the way Ks daughter called me her Moms boyfriend. For those who don’t know, the relationship went like this: dating-\>just want to be friends-\>just want to be friends who sleep together. I asked K about this a little later and we are now officially boyfriend/girlfriend. Yay! So tonight K had a showing at a gallery. She make some awesome hand bags and other stuff. At the show she was introducing as ‘This is Slee(insert real name here), my boyfriend’. Yay! I am all happy. Slee \*Note, there may not have actually been 1,432 updates on this whole K thing. ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] [sub]That thing with the Russian woman kinda didn’t work out. [/sub] [/QUOTE] I’m shocked! Maybe you’re just being a little too picky. So what if they describe their height in lbs? and so what if they can’t speak English and are just using you for your money and US citizenship? Oh OK, maybe not shocked. 😛 Good luck in finding someone wonderful for you. ---
