BD- thanks.Been hoping someone else would post this; didn't know if Arlin would mind.
Trying to think of a cyber Y2K present to give. Since it's only pretend and therefore not costing me anything, I'll give them a woodstove...to be installed wherever and whenever they move;)
Arlin, you are a real sweetie and so is your bride-to-be. Thanks for all your email help. God Bless you both with a long and happy marriage. Prayers for you tomorrow, as promised.
Blessings...Mercy

Arlin-I had just been wondering when the happy day would be.May God give you many years together and may you grow closer as the years go by. Linda
-- newbiebutnodummy (Linda@home.com), June 04, 1999.
Wow, time flies. That's wonderful, Arlin. Knowing you, I'm sure she's a wonderful woman....and a very lucky one as well!! God Bless you both!
-- Will continue (farming@home.com), June 04, 1999.

-- BB (peace2u@bellatlantic.net), June 04, 1999.
Great news! All happiness to both of you, Arlin. She found herself a real gentleman, IMHO.
-- Lewis (aslanshow@yahoo.com), June 04, 1999.
......that's because she wasn't my wife until I said 'I Do'.All I can say is 'Go west young man, Go west....'
And I'll take you up on that bet of a five gallon can of honey. I'll gladly do it if your right. It'll be sort of a belated wedding gift to sweeten things up a bit. Just email me in June of next year. b

Arlin...May I add my voice to the chorus of congrats. :o)

Hey, Arlin!Just remember my long-held dictum: any fool can pick up the phone and put a dozen red roses on a credit card (including me), but it takes a real man to go out and buy a pretty bouquet and carry it in public to his sweetheart! I told Sweetie if he ever orders delivered flowers, he'd better be sure they'll fit in that place where the sun don't shine. The first present he gave me was a rubber chicken (I still have it), which I reciprocated in the form of a rubber brain. We've been going downhill ever since.
All the very best of happiness and good luck to you and your new wife!
-- Sweetie and Old Git (anon@spamproblems.com), June 04, 1999.

To Arlin and "Peggy Sue",My wife and I will celebrate our 13 year anniversary on June 7th and our 20th year together in October. Oh, and I'm 36.
I wish for you the same kind of love, friendship and resiliency that has so blessed my life. Congratulations and best wishes for a bright future full of joy.

Congratulations Arlin!Winston Churchill said that a spouse must be very special to be better than none.
I've known many women who weren't special enough to share the vision most of us have regarding how life should be lived. I'm happy for you that you found one who does.
-- GA Russell (garussell@russellga.com), June 04, 1999.
Arlin -Will celebrate 18 wonderful years of marriage next January. I wish you that many, and far more. May God bless you and your bride as you "leave and cleave" (and live and learn and love...)

God Bless You All! Arlin

Arlin --- It had BETTER be curtailed. We don't want to see your face around here for any number of days ... tell Mrs. Adams we'll be reporting back to her.
-- BigDog (BigDog@duffer.com), June 04, 1999.
Why "curtailed" Sir Arlin? I simply don't understand what could possibly have a higher priority ......8<)Good luck to the both of you! God bless!
-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Kennesaw, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), June 04, 1999.
Arlin do not buy a house this year. She would not be satisfied with the size or appearance anyway. Tell her what we are doing in the Dallas area, save money and your marriage perhaps. If you are not familiar with our plans see the thread 'How I got my wife to wear combat boots and look forward to TEOTWAWKI' And the Best of Luck to you both.

After 24 years, 9 months, 5 (or maybe 6) days, 4 hours and 27 minutes (but who's counting) I have NO IDEA what could keep him off the forum. Oh, besides THAT. Getta priority check! Willya!!!In truth, may you know the same level of happiness we have in the Driver household, and may you catch up to us in longevity, though WE AINT GONNA WAIT!!
Be happy, and joyful on the blessed day, and don't forget:
1) Work on it every day and
2) "Rub her feet" (notebooks, L. Long)

For Arlin and Peggy SueTomorrow you'll tie the knot,
with each other you'll cast your lot.
For the rest of your days,
may nothing faze,
your love which is now so hot.As you journey with her through life,
you'll certainly find some strife.
Have no doubt,
tough it out,
for joy in the love of your wife.As you tread the years at his side,
you'll find on occasion you've cried.
Save each tear,
and hold them dear,
for one day you'll fathom their pride.Arlin, I first saw your mind,
when in cyberspace I did find,
your account of a show,
by one who claimed to know,
of spacemen, and I wrote behind,Arlin Adams stakes his claim,
to everlasting forum fame,
"With aliens not,
Art Bell has shot,
in truth it seems quite lame!"I've followed your thoughts since then,
and each time you've lifted your pen,
it's been very clear,
that a "good guy" speaks here,
a gifted man among men.Peggy Sue, I've not had the pleasure,
but Arlin's taken your measure,
and surely clear,
to all of us here,
is the fact that you're really a treasure.We know that you're good for our friend,
and to his life you'll lend,
the strength of your own,
as the bond is grown,
and you prosper in love without end.As you each make your way down the aisle,
take with you our love and a smile,
we wish all the best,
as you begin your nest,
and expect to hear from you after a while.

Hey Arlin!Congratulations to you, you ol' coot! Does the Mrs have any idea at all what she just signed up for?

-- Unc D (unkeed@yahoo.com), June 04, 1999.
Hello! and thanks to all of you for your lovely messages. It's 12:10 am on our wedding day! I am sitting here sewing buttons on Arlin's new slacks so he can use his new suspenders tomorrow. My maid of honor is here with me, keeping me company. One of her silk-wrapped fingernails broke at the rehearsal dinner tonight. So, a few minutes ago, I handed her some Super Glue to re-attach it. She was using the computer while she was fixing it. Just now, I asked her to let me use the PC for a minute to thank all of you sweeties for the lovely messages. As soon as I clicked on the mouse, my index finger stuck to the mouse! The Super Glue had leaked off her finger and onto the mouse! Now she's saying, "Why are you giggling while you're writing?" Little does she know it's thanks to her.Let's see, what else shall I tell you? It was only today that I finally got around to telling Arlin that I prefer for a guy, when wearing a shirt and tie, to have an undershirt or a white tee shirt with it. WELL! Arlin told me the reason he never does that, not EVEN on his wedding day, is because it makes him sweat! Even if it's 100% cotton. So, no undershirt for the bridegroom. Oh well. He'll still look very handsome.
Let's see, I better go get the Super Glue off my finger and then sew the rest of the buttons on the slacks. Thanks again for all of the sweet messages, and thanks even more for your diligent work here on Time Bomb 2000. "Peggy Sue"
-- "Peggy Sue" (Arlin's fiancie) (AHAFiancee@aol.com), June 05, 1999.
FABULOUS!!! Just terrific news. Best I've heard on this forum :)Arlin, I read in a book once a story that went something like this: a man got married; his new father-in-law gave him a watch for a wedding present.
"Why?" asked the man.
Replied his new father-in-law, "Just remember to tell her every 10 minutes how beautiful she is" (or how much you love her, or whatever's appropriate).
The man did, and they lived happily ever after :)
Hope you do the same! All the best.

Welllll - here we were, cautioning Arlin about NOT being on line the next few (hours/days/weeks) and his to-be-bride glues the mouse to her finger.......where we cautioning the wrong person about taking a all this computer stay-in-touch-stuff too seriously?But I do like the way he plans ahead - gets a bride with her own mouse already attached.
