    My wife has gone out to play, (Gone shopping with her friend), and I just went to see if there was anything to snack on and found a bottle of chocolate milk in the fridge with a note on it saying "I bought this for you, X Michelle". She didn't tell me, just left it as a pleasant surprise. Isn't love wonderful. It is these little things that make life great! All you singletons out there, get married, life is good.

    Why I love Michelle. Because today she fooled Dave into believing that she's gone "out shopping with a girl-friend", when in fact, she's on a plane flying to me right now. While we've never met, never seen each other and don't know anything about one another, I feel we have something special; like one of those foreign murder mystery novels, with secret lives, twisting plots, car chase scenes and ... mystery. They always have those hot, steamy romances, government double agents, trench coats and black umbrellas with those fake sword handles that are really laser pointers. But it's really the little things that make a mystery novel great. Those little unexpected surprises that subconsciously you might have considered, but don't really hit you until you start asking yourself questions like - Doug said "Murder mystery novel", but no one's died. And that's when it hits you ... the chocolate milk is poisoned. Life is not so good, you know, being that Dave's just been poisoned and all. :cool:

      My wifey nearly always asks me when we walk by anything electronic "Do you need one of those? Are you sure you don't? If we can afford it, why don't you get one anyway?" It would take a long time to train another one like that! :)

              The trick is that every time we walk by a dress/hat/shoe store I also ask the same thing. She rarely buys and neither do I, but we both respect the others wants. Works wonders!

                  I used to think like you, but somebody has married even Dalek. That gives me hope. :) Just a joke, Dave. Just a joke.

                                    Nope, but my girlfriend does perfectly fit that formula. :-\ The XKCD I was thinking of had something to do with a guy aspiring to marry a woman who only wanted him for his money or something of that sort (because he couldn't imagine a woman actually wanting him for who he is).
