She's flawed - that indx finger looks kinda dodgy... My wife is missing a finger tip (got it sliced off in a nasty bookbinder machine accident). She usually gets a discount when yshe goes in to have her nails done.

Wow and I was thinking on just inviting a hundred or so.
well, there are advantages in inviting the lounge group. A) all 5 million members don't visit the lounge. B) we're scattered all over the globe, so chances are few are nearby. C) Some of us look over 40 aging geeks like me, so your wife will think you are much more handsome by comparison D) a digital scan of an invite costs less than postage. E) Most of us can set the clocks on the two dozen electronic devices you will receive as wedding gifts. :-D :-D :laugh:

I am kind of worried about that. But more worried about getting 10 toasters.

Wow. I assume they started dating at a young age. I was 31 when I met Kathy and She was 34.

There is a long dead star that weighs in at a few million carats. You can have if you can get to it. Pure diamond.

They started dating when they were in high school (16ish I assume) and got married when he turned 35. Met them both at the University.
