Hmmmmm, interesting... Swedish au pair, eh? ;) And you first kissed in Riyadh? That's very intriguing.

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

Yup. Riyadh. That's where I was when Russ and I met.

thank you for sharing

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

Or oversharing! LOL. So are you going to do the meme?

[maichan808.livejournal.com]

Wow, 25 years. Congrats!

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

IT's a long time for me to go without killing him. He bears a charmed life!

[debarouchi.livejournal.com]

This is a great meme, interesting to hear more about our partners. I'm gonna snag :)

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

That's so cool. I look forward to reading.

Funny, I can see lots of similitudes in our husbands ;o) And especially this one : "Encourages me to go off and do my fannish things " !!

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

He's awesome like that. I've met folk with jealous husbands, but Russ actively encourages my immaturity! It's a great thing. Glad yours does the same.

[witchy78.livejournal.com]

yep, that's him he pushed me to go to Asylum 3 this year ! Without him pushing me, I still would be at the same point : dreaming of going to a convention ;o) And he sends me lots of articles about supernatural that he finds on the net... He's AWESOME like yours ;o) We are lucky girls.

Thanks for sharing, and that's great you've been together 25 years:)

I'm single so can't do this one.

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

Yeah, from time to time I think I'll kill him, but so far he's escaped.

And single is good. Use them for sex and then throw them back! Heheh.

You're right - Russ is awesome. My husband (of THIRTY five years) is one of the jealous ones. Sigh..

And I'm really sorry to hear about Sharon. I know you two were really close.

[4nicklea.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Didn't mean to be anonymous.

[candygramme.livejournal.com]

But at least he is still ticking, which is a good thing, right? How are you doing? I've been out of things for ages.
