I hope you don't mind but I posted a link to it in my forum for IF. I howled at your choice of names for the various characters. Near Death put me over the edge. Thanks for giving me a much needed laugh and also you are so strong to have endured this procedure. Good luck with the 2WW and may it bring you that wee one you dream of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-1131043625226984432005-11-03T18:47:00.000+00:002005-11-03T18:47:00.000+00:00I can relate to the long-distance romance and fall...I can relate to the long-distance romance and falling in love with the accent.

I am also married to an older (by 11 years) British guy, whom I first loved for his accent :) We had a long-distance thing for quite awhile, with him in Scotland and me in the US. We had a practical ceremony for immigration and then the "real" weddin in a 15th c castle. And now we are happy, happy, happy... Oh, except for the infertility thing.erinberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813231433661323654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-1130972601538944422005-11-02T23:03:00.000+00:002005-11-02T23:03:00.000+00:00I'm going to dig out my Portishead CD as soon as I...I'm going to dig out my Portishead CD as soon as I get home.

The rules are that I, the creative but scattered genius, am allowed to be unrelentingly tardy and messy. He, the practical one, must always be on time and meticulously clean and preferably carrying cash, as I don't do that either. I like to think we compliment each other quite well but he occasionally begs to differ. Lovely story. I love British accents. And British soccer legs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-1130961852453757152005-11-02T20:04:00.000+00:002005-11-02T20:04:00.000+00:00Awesome story... but that doesn't get you out of s...Awesome story... but that doesn't get you out of showing us the rock when you get your camera issues sorted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9862855.post-1130955173915847802005-11-02T18:12:00.000+00:002005-11-02T18:12:00.000+00:00Yep, you are right!
