**Whoo Hoo!** My very first online proposal! I accept. The reception/pool party will be the occasion of the summer. Should I wear my new leopard bikini? White is definitely out since I’ve already been married twice and you know what happens to white bathing suits that get wet. :eek: _ **Sniff!!!** _ We’ll be such a great big happy family. (I always cry at weddings) ---

Oh boy I get to get married again!? Don’t worry Swampy - I wish I had Twickster’s job and I could be their secretary as they plot for world domination so it’s all good! Somebody likes me - he really really likes me - even though I’m not a boy 🙂 But that’s ok we can shop and decorate and check out burly men together 🙂 ---

**Swampy,** I accept your proposal, but **Mr. Taters** said I can only accept if you’ll take over all our payments. Wait a minute here…I’m only good for cooking? I DO have other skills…I’m real good at NOT spending money too. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > _snerk_ **vunderbob** I know you got your own proposals and acceptances working, but will you marry me to? Of course. It doubles my chances of getting to the altar. BTW, I fit the burly man image, and I’ve borne beer and cookies, but so far, not at the same time. 😃 ---

I’ve already accepted **Kallessa** ’s proposal in this week’s MMP, so as long as she’s cool with it I can take multiple proposals. I’m not inclined to propose, though, as it’s like acceptance speeches. You forget one beautiful cyberbabe and you’ll hear about it forever and ever. I do have to admit a certain fascination with **Misstee** and her fascination with clothing (or lack thereof) and with the stalwart players of the Movie Game ( **Twickster** , **Maureen** , **Reversecowgirl** , etc). Oh, and I’ve dreamt about **Kallessa** and **FairyChatMom** respectively the last two nights. I know it was **FCM** because I’ve met her. I might have dreamt of **Swampy** but he stood me up. ---

> [@vunderbob](#): > > I’ve borne beer and cookies, but so far, not at the same time. 😃 You bear beer and cookies?!? Honeychild, you have GOT to make a big splash in the gene pool! Next time, go for twins. 😛 Hmmmmmm… We need to be careful who we cross you with. Depending on what they bear. I guess that leaves **swampbear** right out, huh? :dubious: ---

K. A serious post… **Maureen** , my darling, I love you with all my heart. I never thought I’d ever find a woman as wonderful as you. You are everything I ever dreamed of, and then a ton of other stuff I never even thought of. You’re beautiful and sexy and funny and smart and principled and you like sports and drive like Mario Andretti and you’re kind and caring and for some reason you see in me what no other woman would. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me, my sweet baby?
