As of yesterday evening, ‘Babs67 aka The Girlfriend’ became ‘Babs67 aka The Fiancée’! I proposed at one of our favorite local restaurants, and she said yes! (I wasn’t particularly worried about the answer, considering we had spent a number of weekends investigating rings.)
The manager of the restaurant, once he realized what was going on, paid for our dinner. This immediately started us thinking about doing multiple ‘proposals’ for the next couple of weeks at various restaurants!
In other news, single women throughout the world breathed a collective sigh of relief last night… 🙂
Skulls in the Stars 
I’m having a hard time getting anything done this morning at work – I keep staring at my ring! I love you, honey! I can’t imagine being engaged to anyone better than you!
I am very happy for you both. 😀
In fact I am so happy that I have decided to abort the gay agenda and heretofore desist all efforts to destroy marriage, incite terrorist attacks, and seduce innocent senators in airport lavatories.

Well, thank you! But don’t you realize that, as a liberal professor, that I’m all in favor of the efforts you describe? 😈
Woot!
Wait a minute. . . are you trying to pull a May Fool’s Day on me?
(-:
The “liberal professor” Conservapedia page really describes Dr. SkySkull to a T… particularly the bit about being “unproductive.”
Oh wait… that’s me.
Blake: Nope, no joke; May 1st isn’t for jokes, and definitely not for national prayer. I consider Jonathan Coulton’s take on May 1st to be the decisive one. (DEFINITELY not safe for work!)
Then again, the joke may in the long run be on the fiancée, once she realizes what a nutjob she’s attached herself to… 🙂

I resent Conservapedia’s implication: I freely admit to being a slacker at times, but I’m extremely efficient, so my productivity is on the whole high!
But May 1 is May Day, so I have to note the irony of such an announcement being coupled to the term “mayday.” (Such observations are why I don’t make my own wedding cards. It’s a horrible time to be sarcastic.)
Congrats!
Congratulations! Wonderful news! I wish you both much happiness!! The Brit and the Baby also send you their best wishes!
(Well, actually, the Baby just went “ma ba ba” and threw her toy against the wall, but I’m sure that’s a sign that she’s pleased). 😉

I am well aware of what a nutjob you are – but I still love you.
Tom: Thanks! I don’t think I’m in need of rescuing, though, at least not yet…
Becky: Thanks! I’ve been meaning to give you a call; it’s been quite a while since we’ve talked. Tell the Brit and the Baby ‘hi’ (not that the baby will care).
I can only say one word…
AWESOME!!!
This proves to be a GREAT YEAR!!!
CONGRATS!!!
TO the BOTH of YOU!!!
Congratulations! We wish you all the happiness in the universe.
The Smith Family
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better you than me!! Goodluck!!
Congratulations from one Aristonian to another! Really, all the best to you and your fiancee, Greg. Now the real question is: does she want to hear all the stories about you from Gen Con? Because I think between Eric, Bert and I, we could seriously have a good collection… 🙂
The very best to you both. I’m truly happy for you Greg! (You don’t look like you’re 12 anymore, do you?)
No, I’m sure he’s moved up to a dignified 13 by now!
Congrats, Greg! Anyone crazy enough to love ya is a keeper! 🙂 ha ha ha
Eric, Christina, Bert, Mary, Magnet: Thank you all very much! It’s nice to hear from you, too! (Bert, I still owe you a phone call!)
And for the record, if I had managed to keep all of my hair, I would definitely look a distinguished 14!
