First year was kind of stressful, but years 2 and 3 I probably put in an average of like 10-15 hours/week and weren't any more stressful than undergrad.

Thanks for the info, were you there?

I think I might have been to a BAD show in Tampa around 1988. I don't remember it though

So my gf is now over two weeks late. More stress will make my head asplode.

preggo my eggo?

SHIP THE WEDDING!!!

As posted earlier, got married on Sunday..def the best day of my life and it's not even close!!

honeymoon not til August 3rd - 11 day cruise around Europe!!!

Congratz nicky.

Tomorrow my gf will get another stick. Seriously I'm like hyperstressed about this crap. Worst thing is that dad-in-law still thinks his beloved daughter is a virgin. An abortion will also destroy the honor of a very wealthy Chinese family. **** I am a ******.

Randiek-

One of those pee-on-a-stick kits should be pretty accurate by now. GL dude.

Nicky-

Congrats!

Congratz Nicky, that's a sharp photo. Euro cruise sounds awesome now that the weather is getting nice.

big congrats Nicky. your wife is very pretty!

also, you're a pro right? What do your wife and her family think about that?

Nicky, congrats. You look like a very happy couple! Here's to many years of happiness.

Congrats nicky, on both the marriage and being overchicked.

Wish you two well.

so.. you don't use condoms ?

ty everyone!

yes, poker has been my main source of income the last 2 years...my wife fully supports me in my current career choice, especially since i've been pretty successful (good amount in savings + IRA, etc...) considering all i've been playing is ssnl...when I lost my job in April of 06, she was actually my main source of encouragement when I considering holding off getting a new job to just play poker....

long story short...as far as her parents...they haven't been a main part of her life since we've been living together, they don't like the fact that I am Catholic...she is Jewish btw, and they basically made her choose between me and them...she chose me obv..they didn't come to the wedding and have refused to see me or speak to me in the last 2 years...I really admire and respect how she has handled that aspect of her life, I couldn't imagine having to make that choice and deal with it.

Overachieving ftw!!!

Rand, perhaps I'm wrong/confusing you with someone else, but aren't you staying with her parents starting soon? Yikes, good luck if I'm not mistaken.

Congratz Nicky - you look very happy together

no kidding

Huge brag imo, congrats Nicky

Congrats Nicky, she's beautiful

ya, that's what I meant. Sick brag- what kind of skills do you have Nicky?


Anyway, this Friday afternoon I will be attempting perhaps the most foolish stunt ever attempted. I'm flying to SF to see my ex-girlfriend.

Reasons why this is very silly:

1. I'm flying to see her. We don't live in the same place.

2. She's 'seeing' someone else, albeit not seriously. Which means there is no guarantee of sexytime (however, I have already made numerous pledges to myself if it does happen- I will try to SIIHP and 'misfire' above her chesticles to her previously unblemished face). But, to be honest, I do expect it to happen (and quite often, too).

3. I'm already accepted to law school on the other side of the country, which she has no interest in moving. So even if we have a good weekend together there is still a great chance of me moving across country, making the weekend just a huge cocktease.

4. I know a few people there (thank god) but I'd say it's certainly possible (maybe even likely) that we don't get along or something and I get the boot and have to wander around SF/Marin homeless.

5. If things are good/great I need to get the other dude out of the picture, and then, I suppose, move out there. Which isn't a problem, just a hassle. And then decide if I want to reapply to law school or do something else.

So basically, worst case, I get no sex and kicked out of the place, and best case I get sexytime and then have to break up her current relationship, move across country and change my plans for the next year.

In otherwords, even if I 'win' this, it's still kind of a loss. So, in conclusion, this is probably really stupid.

yeah.. don't go.

And how certain are you that their relationship isn't serious?
It sounds like a terrible idea, in many ways.

And is she the type of girl that would just cheat whomever she's dating? If that's the case I wouldn't even want to get back together with her

Her 'relationship' isn't serious. This I'm sure of. She'd never- NEVER- cheat. She's discussed it with me about a million times (father cheated on mother, broke up family, etc) so she wouldn't do it. Trust me. So there's no doubt in my mind that it's just some type of 'get drunk get together' type of situation.

As far as my reasons FOR going- I love SF, and want to be able to go there/live there without having it connected to her, so it's good to go and hopefully things won't be great and I'll be able to break that connection. And we tell each other 'this is the last time we'll ever talk' every 2 weeks for the last 6 months and it never happens- seeing each other ought to go a longways in either establishing the fact that we still want a relationship, or establishing that it's over and done.

I mean, maybe no one else is going to understand my/our situation. But oddly enough we're both convinced that this visit is damn near mandatory. We broke up due to the distance after we graduated college (after nearly 3 years), so we're always going to have this doubt about why we broke up an awesome relationship, unless we can convince ourselves that we've changed/it wasn't that great. Or we get back together.

Thinking about getting my parents a present for supporting me and helping me out financially through 3 years of law school. Any good ideas for a gift for them under 1000? I was thinking maybe a gift certificate to a top restaurant or something

just take them out someplace nice if its feasible
