I just got done having sex, was frying on acid, and was making my
first marriage proposal *just* when the space shuttle blew up on
live TV.

She said, "Oh No!!!". And I left it at that ambiguous answer for
another 3 years. But we *did* get married.

In severe hindsight, making the first of two marriage proposals to
the same person at the same moment the space shuttle blew up on TV
in front of us.... well, duh. It was HUGE disaster in itself. I've
hinted at some of the really bad parts here before.

But congratulations to you! Wait, you were married when I was 13?
Now you make me feel young. Thank you! :-)
