Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: DougR Date: 30 Dec 03 - 01:52 PM Thank you, again, all of you for your kind words of congratulations. I've been working on her but I think she still does not share my enthusiam for GWB. Nope, forget that thread, Ringer. We had a great "first" Christmas together (I fully expected Cindy to give me the unabridged biography of GWB for Christmas but settled for a super globe of the world mounted in a handsome Walnut stand which she assembled herself). She said if I was going to argue with you folks about the war in Iraq I should at least know where Iraq is. She also gave me an ice cream maker so if any of you have any favorite recipes using Splenda instead of sugar, send 'em along to me, okay? Happy New Year everyone! DougR |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: JedMarum Date: 30 Dec 03 - 11:39 AM Great News Doug. all the best to you both! |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Ringer Date: 30 Dec 03 - 11:15 AM Congratulations, Doug. (Is it time to resurrect your "drinking and driving" thread?) |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Hrothgar Date: 29 Dec 03 - 11:41 PM I've been thinking, Doug. Will you get kicked out of the Republican Party for living in a household where the wife says, "What's for dinner?" :-) or should it be :-( |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: alanabit Date: 29 Dec 03 - 07:39 AM Congratulations. Wishing you many happy years together. |

Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: kendall Date: 28 Dec 03 - 07:34 PM You married a democrat? Well. I take back some of the things I said about you. LOL |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: harpgirl Date: 28 Dec 03 - 07:19 PM You oughta meet my Cindy She's from way down south She's so sweet The honeybees Swarm around her mouth... |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Peace Date: 28 Dec 03 - 06:15 PM Ditto, Doug. Congratulations! The lovely lady IS a saint. |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Dec 03 - 06:13 PM GREAT ZOT!!!!I too was gone and missed the whole thing!!!! Obviously this woman is a saint!!! Doug, please let her know she has free access to the NYCFTTS as she will need it after living with you. We'll arrange for a special suite of rooms anytime she feels the need and knowing you I have a feeling we'll need to keep them on permanent reserve for her. Cindy, I'd like to tell you that Doug gets better over time like a fine wine, but he doesn't. Notice how he just sits there drooling and babbling complete non-sensical rhetoric (that's the Republican Party Platform if you were curious). I hate to say this, but that's about as good as it gets. Come see us at the NYCFTTS and we'll keep you going and your spirits up....or at least send you on your way with a case of suitable spirits. Anyway.......CONGRATS!!!!!!.......I hope....... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Dec 03 - 06:06 PM What? How did I miss this thread before? Hey, this is great! Still an old romantic, eh, Doug? Best wishes to you and Cindy from the Great White North, and Chongo says "Hi". - LH |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Big Mick Date: 28 Dec 03 - 05:31 PM Me too, CC. I hate it when I am so busy that I miss this stuff. Way to go, Doug. I wish all the best for you and Cindy. May the saddest day to come be no worse than your best day so far. Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Bobert Date: 24 Nov 03 - 07:24 PM Well, Dougie, I like Cindy... And, ahhh, just what is for dinner? Hope it ain't yer special, Stoufer's mac-n-cheeze... Awww, jus' funnin' wid ya. I'm sure yer a great cook. Ahhhh, jus' a thought. I know yer a sensitive kinda guy. Hey, not too sensitive, mind you but, ahhh, sensitive. Now Dr. Phil says that when "Mama ain't happy, noone's happy" so I reckon it wouldn't hurt you to let Cindy watch somethin' other than Fox now and then. Variety is the spice of life, you know... It'll keep things, ahhhh, fresh... Try it. Hey, you can use earplugs if yer scared that watchin' CBS or NBC might get ya searchin' ebay for a copy of Mao's Red Booik... Bobert |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Deda Date: 24 Nov 03 - 06:52 PM I think that Guest's (Latin) remark above was, "Don't allow the corrupt ones to moderate you." Must have been aimed at Lucinda (pretty name!). Congrats and many, many happy years together. |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: GUEST,Kim C no cookie Date: 24 Nov 03 - 05:52 PM Well, gee, I guess I'm a little late to the party. Congratulizations Doug & Cindy! |

Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: DougR Date: 23 Nov 03 - 11:37 PM Thanks, again, all of you! This morning I pointed out that the Fox News Network would soon be airing Fox News Sunday. Cindy said, "What's for dinner?" So you see what I'm up against? DougR |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: bbc Date: 23 Nov 03 - 08:35 PM Doug, I am happy for you. Health & happiness to you both! love, Barbara |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 23 Nov 03 - 08:12 PM Another good man done gone! Congratulations, Doug, I hope she deserves you. (Ignore these other guys making jokes, I meant that as a compliment.) A funny story -- when my father's brother remarried at the age of 70 he told my father there were a few things he didn't like about his new bride, and would my father tell her. DON'T DO THAT, DOUG! All the best and GOOD LUCK. |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Rapparee Date: 23 Nov 03 - 07:40 PM Politics, and love, doth make strange bedfellows. Be careful, Doug -- Ahnald is married to one of the Kennedy tribe, and look what's happened to him! |

Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: Amos Date: 23 Nov 03 - 02:18 PM Doug: I always thought you needed a good woman to help you see the light. I hope she's the one to do it. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 23 Nov 03 - 01:30 PM Lucinda - that's a nice name - Cindy-Lou backwards. And no doubt she'll be doing the same to bring you round. Otherwise you could both agree to balance each other, and go on holiday instead of voting when there's an election. |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: DougR Date: 23 Nov 03 - 12:59 PM SINSULL: Thank you. My wife's name is Lucinda, but is called Cindy. Just like in the song. I believe that she votes, primarily, for Democrats. I shall be attempting to persuade her to do otherwise in future elections of course. I believe it is called, "conversion." :>) DougR |
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: SINSULL Date: 22 Nov 03 - 11:45 PM Congratulations, Doug! Does the lady have a name? And is she a registered Democrat? |

Subject: BS: Congratulations, Doug R From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 21 Nov 03 - 06:53 PM Just in case people missed the thread in which it occurred, here is a quote from a post by Doug that deserves to be brought to the attention of Mudcatters generally (inckuding the benighted souls who don't like cats and dogs): "But then, last month, I married a wonderful lady who had a minature Poodle (Penny) and a minature white Schnauzer (Emma). I'm hooked again." So best wishes to you and her Doug - and don't you let wedded bliss turn you too mellow... |
