Hey there, Amy. How have you been? I hope you have been doing well with your hubby being away. I hope the kids are behaving themselves!

I have been great. Been pretty busy with life and love. Yes, I have someone new in my life! I am pretty excited about it. That is why I have not been spending a lot of time on the boards...

Hope all is well!

Congratulations You deserve someone special. Does she know what a lucky lady she is?
I am okay, my doctors just put me on an SSRI which apparantly causes D so I'll see how that goes. Otherwise all is allright. I miss DH terribly but he's called as much as he can so that's good. Although the training has been anything but smooth sailing and it looks as though he'll have to do an extra week because of it Glad all is well with you. We miss you on the boards!

Thank you Amy. I am the lucky one though. She is an amazing person with a kind heart, a good soul and her beauty shines through everything. I never thought I would find someone that can be so affectionate and caring. I am deeply in love with her and I thank God everyday that she has come into my life and made me a better person. I know that my future and my happiness lie with her. I know I am going to get lots of questions by posting that and I will answer them as best I can but I am a private person, so I will answer as best I can...

Amy, you will get through this tough time. Love is never chocolates and roses but the simple fact taht you miss your hubby so much and the fact he calls you as much as he can shows true love between you both. Many people don't ever find that. You're a lucky person as am I...

Yes, everyone, before rumours and innuendo spread through these boards like hotcakes, I can confirm that Tina and I are in a relationship and are in love. We are both very private people and we do not wish to give out all the details of our relationship. We all love you guys very much and want to share the good news. Be that as it may, we are not going post everything about how we met, how often we are going to see each other, or where this will all lead. What I will say is that this relationship is real. It is not an online thing where we have not met. We have met more than once and will continue spending time together. We never met while Tina was still together with her BF. Our relationship began after she broke up with him but you all know our friendship began long before that. We want to enjoy our new found love. I know you awesome guys will respect that. Thank you all so much for being such a big part of our lives and to those few (you know who you are) for playing a role in our taking a chance on love. Without these boards we would never have found each other. Thank you guys!!

You are both awesome people and deserve love and happiness. And yes, your privacy will be respected by me. I will never ask about the relationship on this board. That is private, between you and Tina as you develop and learn more about each other.

I hope others will respect your wishes as well.

Now, if I could find someone,...

And I never know stuff!!! **does I happy dance for herself and then calms herself down*
Sorry, I work in an office where all I do is answer the phone, I so rarely get to get excited in the middle of the day! Hee hee.
You know what's funny? I thought of it ages ago and then thought how I must be totally off, but how great it would be!!

I totally respect the fact that you don't want to share all your lovey-dovey details on the boards, some things are sacred!
But I did want to say that I am very happy for you, and that you both really, really deserve all the happiness in the world and it's so awesome that you found it together.

((If you ever live together, buy a 2 bathroom apartment! Hee hee, okay, I'm done now)).

Oh, the phone is ringing again! Guess my excitement for the day was over, hee hee.

Congrats and good luck!

Okay, this is how it went in my head...

"Gee, Tina and the New York guy (I am keeping it real, I didn't really know your name yet, Tommy!! ) sure do flirt a lot online."

"Gee, now that Tina has split up with her boyfriend, I bet she meets up with Tommy. She wants him to keep eMailing her (from a post I can't even really remember, but I remember you saying that... yes, this I remember, my Dad's birthday.. noooo)"

"Gee, Tina keeps mentioning that she has met someone new.. I bet it's Tommy... No, that's stupid.. But she won't tell us who it is.. So I bet it's Tommy.. No, that's stupid.."

And VOILA!
So I guess I started thinking it right after you split with your ex.

Isn't it fun being inside my head? Hee hee.

hahah I agree.. I suspected it for a few months now!

especially because you guys would always talk online and started avoiding each other.

Plus I remember when you were getting feelings for him maybe awhile back.. and didn't know if you should keep in contact.. so I just knew it had to be true!

good luck.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. You guys are family to us. YEs, I did say to Tina the other night that if we did not have IBS, we would never have met. So everything has a silver lining...

I knew we were going to be found out sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. Plus, we didn;t want to keep it to ourselves much longer as we all think so highly of you guys...

Just to let you guys know, Tina is even more beautiful in person than in her picture. And I am not just talking about her looks but everything about her. She is the kindest, good hearted, and most loving person I know. I am very lucky to have her.

Thank you again everyone for your kind words. They mean a lot to us.

Hi Tommy,

What great news! You two make a cute couple. You have always reminded me a little of my son. He met his wonderful wife over the internet, too. They have been married 8 yrs and now have my grandaughter who is 5 months old. I couldn't have asked for a better DIL and they are so very happy together.

I'm wishing for the same happiness for you and Tina!

Congrats

I am SOOOO out of it, I'm sitting here with a big question mark over my head.

Huh? What happened? Where was I? Tommy, you and Tina "got together"? (BTW, what does that mean?) You met each other here in the Living Room? Then you met in person somewhere? HUH? Where? When? And now you're together? In the same city? Same house? Same -- uh, never mind.

Oy.... I missed the whole thing!

Nearly fell over when I popped in here just now. That's wonderful news Tommy, I'm glad you have found someone so special to you. It's hard to do these days. You're so right. Love and marriage are so far from Roses and Chocolates it's not funny sometimes but yes, DH and I are committed, we've made it through more than I could ever tell people about so I know that despite statistics saying otherwise about young marriages that we'll still be together when we're sitting in our rocking chairs with our walking sticks (I may be bashing him over the head with it but hey, at least we'll be together ).
Of course I wouldn't want you to divulge more info than you're comfortable with, I'm a bit the same with the boards, but I am glad you are so happy. Congratulations, you both have my best wishes for the future.
Edited to add: Sorry, just read a few I'd missed, wow, Tina! I knew you guys had something Congrats to you both, that's fantastic!

YEs we do live in different countries but it is only an hour via airplane. Not that big of a deal.

Hey Bev, I am not going to get into real specifics here as per my intial posting. But Tina and I have met in person a few times. It is only an hour plane ride from NY City to Ottawa. So she still lives in Ottawa and I still live in NY City.

That is all I have to say really. I think everything else that has been written speaks for itself. Thanks!

I know, it's a bit surprising to say the least!

We met through the boards, emailed each other for ages, talked on the phone for ages and later on met in person.

We fell in love and decided that we wanted to pursue the intense feelings that we have for each other. We are in a long distance relationship and are dating each other even though we are in two different countries! It's not that complicated.

May sound crazy but it's been working out great so far. And we are very hopeful about the future.

P.S. - I thought something was going on with you two and all the posting and then it just stopped. I should have guessed it was b/c you are talking outside the boards.

Thanks for asking! My job is ok, same old... you know! It pays the rent and how can I complain as I get to do free yoga and meditation here with some very cool people!

I LOVE my apartment. It feels like home and I never realized how much I would enjoy living alone. It's so great and I have such freedom! It's a very nice feeling.

My cat loves the new place. She has lots of windows to look out of and spy on the squirrels, raccon and birds. She is in heaven and being in a calm environment has made her even more of a suck. Which I LOVE!

Books... I bought a new one. It's http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385336810/002-8294648-7943226?v=glance

It's written by the author that wrote all the Shopaholics books. It's supposed to be a very guilty pleasure kind of read. My favorite!!! Ask me if I've even opened it though! No time but I plan on louging on my nice deck and reading A LOT this Spring/Summer!

How are you doing? Have you started your new job yet? How are your cats? Have you gotten any haircuts or anything recently?

Second, just like everyone else, I knew! i suspected all along, and that tommy was the 'new man', but this is still shocking, cause I started to doubt my hypothesis cause it all seemed to romantic fairytale like to be true!

wishing you both the best and happiness!
This is so cute! I can barely contain myself!!!

Of course I am still in love! he always does cute htings for me, and is always sending me reminders that he loves me like passing me a love note when we say goodbye (since we can no longer email each other cause of his new job), or will text me something cute on my cell phone.
Also, last Saturday when I met up with Mags and Marne I let him sleep in at my apt, I came back, he was gone but my apt was straightened up and all my dishes were washed!
It never seems like one of us is putting in too much, while the other one doesn't, seems nice and even!
We really spoil each other. We are definatley gonna be together for awhile , and have so many plans for fun this summer!

Tommy- You scored!! You have to bring Tina on the next Ireland trip so Padhraig and I can bring you out on the town....this is soo great!

I also wanted to mention the fact that Aries are great guys remember? And I'm a Cancer, you are a Cancer, Tommy's an Aries and my hubby is an Aries and we have the BEST relationship of anyone I know so I'm confident that you guys are compatable and will last forever!!!!

It's such great news about you two!! Can you tell how excited we all are for you? Also, how awesome is it to have a BF that has IBS. Oh my gosh, an Aries and a guy with IBS that is just the ultimate!!

Lots of luck!!!

Thanks Lisa! Tommy and I are so incredibly compatible in so many different areas. We compliment each other very well. I hope we will last forever!

It's funny that we both have ibs. We can really empathize with each other and know how to make each other feel better as we have gone through attacks of our own. It's kinda neat. We really "get" ecah other that way too.

Thanks again!

Sinead & Dalia, I want to thank you guys for bringing Tina and myself together. It was you guys who made me believe that this can turn into something wonderful. You guys pushed me towards a woman who is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I am forever in your guys debt and I mean that. Tina is the most beautiful, caring, and loving person I have ever met. I adore her and love her more and more each day. Thank you to both of you.

And yes, Tina and I will make a trip to Ireland one day. I would love to hang out with you and Padhraig again.

Hubby and I SAW each other at the Rabbi's house...but we met on-line! It DOES happen!!!

P.S. I was going on a date with my high school crush and he asked me to look at his profile on-line. To see his profile on-line I had to put up my own. That's how my husband found me..... (there's much more to the story..but this thread is Tina and Tommy's!)

Yes, simple maybe...but it's also EXPENSIVE! And to think...hubby and I spent a dollar each way on the T to see each other....took about an hour each way too!!!!

Every time I see Tommy & Tina and can't help it but I'm reminded of the song by Bon Jovi "Living on a Prayer" cause the names of the couple he sings about is Tommy & Gina. Do you guys know which one I'm talking about?

Oh speaking of music, I don't think I mentioned that when we were in Disney, there was a celebrity there. The lead singer of Metallica was staying with his family (adorable 3 little girls and a cute wife). It was so neat to see him in such a normal setting. My husband said if he were by himself he would have asked for a pic with him but since he was with his family, we thought it was kinda rude.

Anyway, hope the love birds are doing well today. And yes, this shows that internet dating is possible! Tommy, you are just too good to be true. All your comments are so damn cute! Tina, you got a great one. Tommy, you are lucky too.
(but I think you both know that already!)

Take care guys!
