So, you gonna have a big wedding and invite all us PNW Dopers to the reception? I’ve been looking forward to meeting you since you came up to our neighborhood, and this is as good a chance as any, I think. > [@NurseCarmen](#): > > 2004 was shit for JLA I can’t believe I never realized that **Johnny L.A.**'s initials match up with “Justice League of America.” Cool. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > So, you gonna have a big wedding and invite all us PNW Dopers to the reception? Well, I want a Pirate Wedding on the _Lady Washington_. She thinks I’m joking. Also, she doesn’t want our grandkids to think we’re goofy when they see the photos. I’ll have to work on her some more. **Ghanima** : Nope. Just a cat. **Berkut** : Clifton. **Scotti** : I’m glad you’re feeling better. 🙂 **NurseCarmen** : Mom’s still sick, and I’m still unemployed. But things are looking up. 🙂 ---

I couldn’t think of anything witty, meaningful, or actually thoughtful to say that would convey “that is super awesome” and “I’m so happy for you”. One would suppose, in such an instance, that congratulations and enjoy would suffice as perfectly suitable sentiments. However, that is not exactly the case for me here. So, congratulations and enjoy anyways. I’m so happy for the super awesome time you two are going to spend together. Oh, and enjoy the other 137 perks. Just don’t steal the travel size shampoo - that’s down-right tacky. ---

That gives me hope! I just reconnected with my high school boyfriend after 11 years and we realized we both still love each other. We live in different states, but we’re going to visit each other soon, and he has actually been thinking of taking a job in my area for a while now, so there is hope! I am excited! Congratulations to you 😉 ---
