Lynne, Thanks so much for posting those Questionaires. I received those back from my daughter and what a laugh it was...I got home went to the mailbox and there were two letters from my daughter. One a regular letter and the other the questionaires. I sat in my car reading them with tears in my eyes, just laughing...it was just the best...my daughter is doing well...I would not have gotten such great details if I had not sent those questionaires out to her....thanks thanks thanks.

That would be wonderful anti m! :) he bought my promise ring at a place in Woodbury, MN near where we live called Shane Co. And he did a GREAT job picking it out! :) he had two he was debating on, and then he said, "the more sparkly one, definitely" Lol it ended up being the more expensive one, but its gorgeous! I just want to give him idea of what I like for engagement rings and see what kind he wants. We've talked about waiting until after ATT to get married, I don't want us to rush everything but I don't need a big wedding to be happy. :)

lukesgirl, if you want hints on buying diamonds, I can point you to several good information sites. And whatever you do, do NOT let the store finance the ring. They charge 30%+ interest.
Gas chamber? Piece of untasty cake with huge bragging rights after. I cried a lot, but I did not puke.

Thanks, Patti. That is good to know that he didn't think it was so bad.

Gas Chamber - I meet a sailor who PIR 11/23 last week, we spoke about gas chambers - basically he said that everyone files in, and not until the last person is in do they light a tablet that omits the odor. orders are given for covers off, cups up. meaning take off your mask, and the "cup" is your palm. nothing and I mean nothing is allowed to hit the floor, if they cant contain everything in their hand they are to open thier shirt and use it a vessel... sounds gross I know! he said to me that "of all things I was worried the most about gas chamber, but it really wasnt that bad" and its over pretty quick
