Morning, Steppers!

Hope you don't mind if I pop on your thread again.

Mama-yes, I do use probiotics. I suffer from severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome and wow, probiotics really work for me. I take Stomach Comfort, and then once a day, I take Ortho Biotic by Ortho Molecular Products. I get a really good price online at Pure Formulas. Why? Are you having some GI issues?

So sorry about your friend, Lizann...you never know, do you? Running sounds like a good idea. Exercise is the best remedy for anxiety or depression. :h

Back from the court house with marriage license in hand. We didn't know that peeps have to have an officiant and date in order to obtain a license, so Mrs. Fen dialed from a list of judges and found one to do the deed tomorrow morning. So...barring any repeals from meanies, tomorrow morning at ten a.m, Mrs. Fen and I will finally be legal! After fifteen years.

I know you were sooooo disappointed and upset that you didn't get that job at the PD, but I hope you don't mind me butting in with my unasked for advice. I was an investigative news reporter for years and my beats were criminal court and the PD. It is a BLESSING that you did not get that job at the PD. Believe me, police work of any kind for a woman is very thankless, and still, even now, women in those positions get very little respect. You have such a wonderfully compassion and kind personality, that I think the water treatment plant would be a better match for you. Who knows? Maybe the stress of the PD would have catapulted you back to drinking nonstop. I knew a female dispatcher, and I interviewed her once, and she told me you have to have a personality with a hide of leather and you have to be able to detach yourself from people in pain, including the families of murder victims, etc., and if you make one mistake, the media eats you for lunch. I also know the pain you felt with all the interviewing, the time, the expense. I had a similar experience about two years ago...and I never thought I would recover. Well, I did and I am doing better than ever. Just wanted to let you know I've "lurking" and I've been in your corner the whole time.:l

Rusty...thank you SOOO much. I am beginning to really believe I dodged a bullet by not making it to PD. I guess my personality is not hard-hearted enough and that's why I didn't "meet" the criteria. Thank you again, you made me feel better!!!

Hi everyone...will check in later, our computers are acting up so IT is lurking around...

Yay Fenny! You must be soooo excited! All of my relationships combined don't equal 15 years. LOL

Pauly - It IS weird how we all get the same things at the same time huh? We are taking this computer "virus" thing to a whole new level.

Liz - Sorry about your friend...when I hear things like that it makes me realize how much I hate sitting in this cubicle wasting my life...we should all be doing things we love to do...

Yeah, I'm a little down today. Didn't want to come back here at all. I hope the WTP job works out, I think if I can just get out of City Hall then things will look up for me...

Oh...and Sierra's latest development...she has a "boyfriend". He has been over the last 3 days in a row. I keep feeding him so he'll probably never leave now. LOL

Oh, geez, K9...a boyfriend in the mix, now! :H

Peeps, I, Fennel Nutkin, am a legally wedded skwerl. After we picked up our marriage license, I was surfing the web and saw that our attorney general filed an appeal to the overturn of the gay marriage ban- and was to be heard this afternoon. I fired off a text to Mrs. Fen, who promptly called the judge who agreed to marry us tomorrow. He happened to be at the hospital, as his wife was having hip replacement surgery. When Mrs. Fen told him what was up, he agreed to marry us right there at the hospital!

I picked up Mrs. Fen and we got to the hospital in record time. Judge Hanrahan met us out in the drop-off zone and we wrangled an elderly lady and her daughter to be witnesses. I popped that oldie into a wheelchair with a true swiftness, and wheeled her over to the flower pots for our "ceremony".

As the judge was reading us our little sermon, Mrs. Fen and I began to cry at the emotional situation. We were actually being married! We never thought we'd see the day. The judge also became choked up. His sister is in a seventeen year relationship with a woman- in Kentucky. He was a lovely person and offered to re-enact the ceremony for us if we should decide to have a party or celebration later, with friends and family.

So, even if our family values defending attorney general succeeds in halting these marriages, Mrs. Fen and I made it under the wire. After fifteen years, our drive to gay marry each other would not be denied! :h

Oh, and our two witnesses were chuckling over how nobody would believe that they were witnesses at a wedding while they went outside for a bit of fresh air. :H

Actually, the daughter who was our witness did get some video and plenty of pics. I can send them along to you.

We exchanged rings ages ago...and mine is away being resized. Still, we are hitched. Yes, the vows were traditional. :h
