Always interesting to hear what has happened to those in our past, my husband calls that nosy but I prefer to think of it as curious and thoughtful:-)Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155655553899589502006-08-15T08:25:00.000-07:002006-08-15T08:25:00.000-07:00Oh yeah, interesting comment and question Lucia, i...Oh yeah, interesting comment and question Lucia, i'm going to answer you in a post.menohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065283682414369608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155655472263699122006-08-15T08:24:00.000-07:002006-08-15T08:24:00.000-07:00Thanks for all your comments.

I still feel badly for Danae, but really, she and the mister would never have been happy together. And i wouldn't have been happy with Michael. Thanks god none of us got married before we figured it out.<BR/><BR/>As an update, Danae continued calling the mister occasionally, and then calling his mother for a few years. Then she married a lawyer and had 4 kids.<BR/><BR/>Michael had a genetic heart defect called Marfan's Syndrome, and he died when he was 28. I didn't hear about that for maybe 10 years afterwards, but i still cried for him, even though i always knew he was sick.menohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065283682414369608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155643105232678812006-08-15T04:58:00.000-07:002006-08-15T04:58:00.000-07:00After your story, I had to laugh at Antonia's.

Funny how it seems like a big deal when you are 20, but then, in the end we all have similar stories of things we did when we were young. It's it good you were able to recognize a good thing despite the height?Bobealia...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15713026993668872520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155627793405324292006-08-15T00:43:00.000-07:002006-08-15T00:43:00.000-07:00I love you!

This story! ran to the kitchen, and made sure I was happily nestled in front of the PC with a cup of tea before going on. It didn't disappoint.<BR/><BR/>So many similarities with my own love life: I hooked up with my boyfriend's best friend too. It seemed impossible because it just was, and it got more impossible with time. By the time we got together and made the universe click into place, we'd already been housemates and best friends for ten years and I'd married the wrong man. <BR/><BR/>True love never runs smooth! Thank you for sharing. Wonderful story to start the day.Antonia Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754292976861979028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155608336715557762006-08-14T19:18:00.000-07:002006-08-14T19:18:00.000-07:00That is a sweet story.That is a sweet story.SUEB0Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301963922769609715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155600564370904402006-08-14T17:09:00.000-07:002006-08-14T17:09:00.000-07:00From 20/20: "Professor Allen Mazur...did a study ...From 20/20: "Professor Allen Mazur...did a study that found taller men are likely to marry more often and have more children. Mazur said one possible reason for his finding is that "taller men, by virtue of being more attractive to women, perhaps have more opportunities with women other than their wives, which leads to a breakup of marriage, which leads to a remarriage to a younger woman, which leads to another child."<BR/><BR/>Would it be fair to say from the study that it seems that taller men were hot and the shorter men were not? "That would be an inference. You could also infer that the shorter men are better husbands, and they have more long-lasting marriages," Mazur said."<BR/><BR/>So, after all these years, I'd be interested in how you see the taller/shorter thing now.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295553538430945014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1155596612374668772006-08-14T16:03:00.000-07:002006-08-14T16:03:00.000-07:00Perfect way to begin a relationship to last a life...Perfect way to begin a relationship to last a lifetime.
