Two more Dopers engaged! In [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=458887) thread my SO, **Pixilated** , questions what I might have meant by a comment along the lines of If this works out. Well, the other night I felt the time was right and popped the question. She promptly exclaimed ,“Oh shit!” Then she clapped a hand on her mouth and got a look on her face I normally equate with bad chicken salad about to make its presense known. It took her about a minute to regain her composure and clarify that all of that meant yes. No date set yet, but we’ll let you know as events unfold. ---

[/QUOTE] In my defense, I was completely caught off guard and it threw me into a mild anxiety attack, which seemed to last forever. It shouldnt have though, I had a premonition 2 days before… no, seriously, you can ask my bff and some coworkers. I was completely thrown off - no “tall-tell signs” he was going to pop the question… just the way I’d want it =) So, as to not hijack my beloved’s thread, I shall start one asking for ideas for rings. PS He called dibbs on the announcement, otherwise I would’ve beat him to it =) ---
