Where did you propose to your wife?


Sep 29, 2016, 10:04 AM

This idiot did it at a baseball game but then lost the ring.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/this-guy-tried-to-propose-at-the-yankees-game-but-he-dropped-the-ring-042500695.html


I did mine on a ski trip in Vail. I was scared as #### I was going to lose the ring in the snow but all worked out.

Theyll all just be rebounds and call him a f boy


Sep 29, 2016, 10:38 AM

and he'll be shamed on dating sites which will lessen his changes of getting poon. Soccerkrzy still believes in true love so just going on a date and getting laid is meh to him. He wants that connection that brings about the really good sex.

Just remember @ssoccerkrzy only time can take apart what time put together.

Sep 29, 2016, 11:03 AM

There were several positives and it was a great place to go to HS but I could just never see myself living there my whole life.

Same goes for Clemson. I loved my time there but I would never settle down there.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

why not, though?


Sep 29, 2016, 11:25 AM

I love where I'm from in NJ, but I highly doubt I'd ever move back...$$ reasons, mostly

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There's just nothing to do there.


Sep 29, 2016, 11:31 AM

It's a small podunk town in the middle of NJ farm country. There are plenty of things to do around there:
Trips to NYC
Trips to Philly
Outdoor adventures in the Delaware Water Gap
Trips down the shore

but at the end of the day, I would just rather live in those places.

Again, I enjoyed my time there and have friends for life that I still see all the time but all of us have moved on.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clemson is actually a great place to live.


Sep 29, 2016, 11:33 AM [ in reply to Yes, that area is quite nice... ]

Where I lived, I was 5 minutes from anything I needed. Traffic, except during game weekends and some afternoons, is not bad. Housing is cheap. Bad part is sometimes it gets a little boring, and its a pretty good ride to "more" stuff (like Greenville).

I hated leaving. I loved my house; I doubt I'll ever have one that nice again. I'll live there again.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The boring part would be my problem.


Sep 29, 2016, 11:49 AM

I enjoy seeing live music too much. I need to be in an area that has that culture.

Also, no beach or mountains.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I never went, but its not far from the mountains


Sep 29, 2016, 11:52 AM

but the beach, meh..that's boring.

There is a lake (and access to several others) so there's that.

I get it that its not for everyone, but it is a neat little town.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We're both from NJ, but we love New Hope.


Sep 29, 2016, 10:30 AM [ in reply to Did you do this because she is from PA? ]

I picked the bridge because I thought it would be memorable and picturesque.

Frenchtown's great, too, although I don't know it as well as Lambertville and New Hope. Nice to meet another Jersey Jounger!
