Man bought flowers for wife: Discuss ad infinitum
 
2004-11-06 02:01:05 PM
Kind of convenient that the press was there and all, but overall a cool story nonetheless.
 
2004-11-06 02:01:27 PM
I hope there are ten guys like this soldier and Hunter for every one wife-beater.

10% wife-beaters is a good ratio?

call me a romantic, but I bet he's got a special surprize in his pants for her. Good times ahead

All-

Don't mean to be threadjacking, but I can't find a list of instructions to "spiff up" thread comments.

Is there a way to do it if it doesn't have a web address? Like if it's a pdf file?

You're just playing troll, right?
Just need some attention?

It's a sappy moment. Let it go. Put down the flamethrower.

It's a small town. Did it ever occur to you that maybe someone called the paper after he arrived and they came and took soem picture and got the story?

Lesbians don't send flowers as rule---they make up for it with good oral sex.

Depends on the lesbian. The first person I dated who ever brought me flowers was my girlfriend.

(and yes, you CAN have it both ways)

If it's an image you want to host, you can do it for free at www.photobucket.com.

A PDF file, though, if you can't link to it directly, is more difficult.

You have to host it somewhere and supply the link. Photobucket won't do PDFs. I don't know if there is a "document bucket".

Lets see, I missed 19 Xmases at home between 12/16/164 and 02/10/1991 because I was deployed or otherwise engaged on my country's business. I spent my 20th and my 21st birthday in a very strange and violent place. My Mother was told I was KIA a couple of months before my 22 birthday. I am COPD because of exposure to toxic smoke caused by a bilge fire. I missed a majority of my three childrens birthdays. I would not and did not vote for GW Bush. I believe that both the current Attorny General and SecDef belong in jail. I think that the war in Iraq is both illegal and imoral. One of my brothers died as a result of combat induced PTSD. My oldest son was medically retired from the US military as 70% disabled.

Yet this news story brought a tear to my eye because I can hold more than one thought in my mind at a time. Something along the lines of this war evil our troops, for the most part, good.

It was a thought process simular to pmegan's that got me spit upon in San Francisco for the crime of wearing my blues in the spring of 1969.

But hey pmegan you have the right to you opinion, just don't get to thinking that others are "Bad" because they don't agree with you.
 
2004-11-06 02:09:39 PM
Is all of the anger because you think that this makes the war (excuse me, the continued presence of troops...or whatever you want to call it) look like a good thing? Because I really don't see that at all. To me what this punches home is the fact that there are a lot of Americans separated from their spouses and families who really shouldn't be, and this needs to end. So it's both sad and sweet at the same time.

Women outnumber men globally, so those 9% (1 in 11--read post again) theoretically would not be able to find wives to beat.

Of course, then you'd have to factor in homosexuals.

But really I didn't mean that in the first place. I was thinking: 10 guys like the soldier in the article and Hunter, 1 asshole, and 89 regular not-particularly-romantic guys--making it 10% awesome men, 89% "regular" guys, and 1% "men who should have their scrotums nailed to a stump and then set the stump on fire."

Sorry for the ambiguity.

Wow, Pmegan. Must be nice to be unemployed yet still somehow have enouh money to go to game 7 of ALCS.
 
2004-11-06 02:21:04 PM
It would be really sad if he died, and the last rose was the one he was holding in his coffin.
 
2004-11-06 02:21:48 PM
pmegan,

Have you ever sacrificed ANYTHING for this country. Until then, your opinion matters not. And about those thousand plus dead soldiers, they died with honor. Only those who have been in their position can speak for them, you do not even deserve to invoke their memory. So just sit at home, unemployed, and spew in another direction. Good Day!

BTW, baseball sux!
 
2004-11-06 02:22:14 PM
I must admit that the guy pulled off a pretty darn good surprise. If he raises the bar for the rest of us, well that's a good thing in my opinion.
 
2004-11-06 02:23:55 PM
Such a typical fark response

"Your wrong! We know your wrong cause your Fugly! And a Chick!"

For fark sake at least attack her opinion instead of her hair.

Now ask yourself - If you wer betting on who gets laid more often, a chick with bad hair or the average Fark denzien, who would you bet on?

Huh? If women outnumber men, shouldn't a few of those men actually be able to find multiple wives to beat?

Shoot- I can top that! My hubby suprised me and came home from the Middle East unexpectedly with nothing but a life jacket. Believe me, it was worth more than all the roses in the world. Behold the late Adriatic IV right before it sank:

Fighting since 164 and you only missed 19 Christmases? That's not so bad. By the way, how was the Battle of Hastings? I heard it rained :-(

Opps my bad should read 12/16/1964.

Guess I must be the first person on FARK to ever commit a typo.

Yes I know my spelling sucks.

LOL, at least you didn't misspell "moran". Some silly people use an "o"...

I think it was very kind and sweet of him. I warned my husband that I didn't want a surprise for his R & R. It worked our great for us and was 2 of the most precious weeks I have ever had.
 
2004-11-06 03:03:34 PM
This pales in comparison, but it reminded me of "once upon a time in high school".

Just before our prom date, I gave my girlfriend eleven roses in an arrangement.

I showed up with the twelfth in her corsage.

Later, she said she had counted them and wondered what happened...she figured the florist had screwed-up.

/Yeah, I know...corny as hell.
//It worked like a charm though...

2004-11-06 03:12:28 PM
I think that most people missed the point to this story. They have been married for 15 years. Wow and he is still this romantic. Today my cynical despairing heart needs stories like these.

Thurg
You're an idiot. Saying that if someone hasn't sacraficed something for this country means their opinion isn't worth anything is exactly contrary to what this country is about.

For those people who think they are "sacraficing something for this country", you're also idiots. Going out to murder in my name, or the name of any of my countrymen and countrywomen with strong morals and values is an insult of the highest order.

If you're in the army, the only thing you've sacraficed is your dignity, and any moral values you have had passed down to you by your religion. If you've died in service, well then you have my pity.

uidzero, thank God that better men than you serve. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the right to be so stupid.

I hope you don't reproduce. If you already have, please move your offspring to somewhere else.

"I disagree with what this girl says, so I'm going to be a complete prick about how she looks."

Right. Real intelligent there...is it possible perhaps to rise above the level of acting like a 10 year old?
 
2004-11-06 03:17:50 PM
af250xxl,

What is your point?

Did you serve?

Probably not.

I know a few names on that list you posted, they served proudly. And if they were still with us, they would knock your behind into then next Bush administration.
 
2004-11-06 03:21:58 PM
Way to go, Paula! Way to go!
 
2004-11-06 03:25:44 PM
uidzero,

You will never understand sacrifice, honor or duty. I will not even waste more time with you.
 
2004-11-06 03:26:32 PM
"I agree with what this girl says, so I'm going to be a complete prick about how she looks becuase it is still just as acurate and fun."

thurg:

you don't work at a retail store, do you? The fuglies who come in here would require beer goggles 8 inches thick to even think about approaching in a poorly-lit bar. If you survived the alcohol poisoning, that is.
Back to the issue: that was a nice thing a soldier did for his wife, and yes, he's going to be seeing tome poontang in the near future of his arrival. Doing something sweet for your girl, like a rose at some random interval of the week, delivered to her office is even better, and will ensure poontang, and a mildly pleasing bj that night, providing she knows how to. One of my ex's received multi-colored roses(one at a time, though) each week, and she showed her appreciation of what I did. Easy concept: guy wants some poontang, does something sweet for his girl, gets said poontang.

On a side note, a guy I play poker with off and on had a son come home from Iraq. That night the kids went out to a movie or two with grandma, and grandpa(the guy I play poker with) was shoved out the door. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what his son and daughter-in-law were doing all night, having been separated for 14 months. Long post, off to work.
