Funny Little Story! (mentions death)

I just happen to think this story is really amusing and felt like sharing, because every time I think about it, I laugh.

Okay, so I'll start by saying Mike isn't as negative as this is going to make him sound. He just said this because of the situation.

So Mike was arrested in December (*sigh* I know... what a dork... it was only for marijuana possession, though, nothing like assault --- hah). As he was waiting to get out, he was making small talk with the cop. Somehow they got onto the topic of money, and Mike's job. He made mention of saving up for an engagement ring for me. So the cop starts talking down to him, saying, "Aren't you a little young?" Maybe true, and not an issue. What was an issue was the <i>way</i> he said it. Big attitude. So Mike stays polite and says "Ah well there are special circumstances."

The cops gets all condescending and nasty and says "What? Did you get her pregnant??" *sneer*
So Mike raises his voice and says "No! She's DYING!!!"

Ahahahahahaa. I love it. *snicker*

HA! Sometimes I really like doing that to people when they ask things that are none of their business. The look on their face is always priceless.

When solicitors call and i'm in a bad mood, and they more than likely have called several times that week, i'll say "No sorry he's not in" (refering to deceased step dad). Then they will say "Well do you know when he might be in"? Then I will tell them "Well he is currently dripping with maggots and 6 feet under the cold earth, dead as a door nail, i'll be sure to tell you, and the police if he comes back to the house!".


I said that to an old lady solicitor on the phone one time and her voice started to crack and she yelled at me "YOU'RE AN EVIL MAN!!" and hung up lol! Yes I have a dark sense of humor, and no I wouldn't mind if others did the same to me.

I don´t understand how you can be so much against smoking but seem to tolerate marijuana next to you??????
If I would have been the policeman, I would have told him, that he shouldn´t spent his money for marijuana, so he could soon afford a ring!

lol, I must admit that is a very good point. I've argued that point with him many times, and got him to cut WAY WAY WAY down. He went through a period where it was every day. Now it's... once a month, once every few months. And, some of the times now, it's in brownie form, not smoke. It's generally harder and more expensive to get brownies, but if I have the option, that's the one I take, and he eats it instead.

And he's saving for a ring already too. Hehehe. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
Edit: (I just realized that is clear from the story... I'm a dummy, I forgot. But yeah, he's saving for my ring haha)

I have to defend Mike a little here. Emily wasn't with him when he was smoking. He's really pretty careful about being considerate of her lungs! ;o)

Well, but I read her blog and what she wrote due to this lung cancer article and marijuana, no matter if smoked or eaten is for shure not very healthy for people. So he does (like smoking people) obviously not take too much care of his own health... What happens, how will she react and feel about it, if he is "high" and therefore having a car-accident(hurting himself or others) or if next time he has to stay in jail for a while?

As far as driving, not a problem. He currently doesn't drive. And he knows not to drive high or drunk. Like I said, as for smoking, he's calmed way down. He also smoked cigarettes when we started dating, and quit that altogether. Can't change Rome in a day, or something. Hahaha. And I personally don't have a problem if you eat pot. I only care when it's smoked.

Smoking (of any kind) has not been allowed in our home since the day Emily came home from the NICU. Mike is a very bright young man. He isn't driving right now (like Emily said) and he is smart enough not to drive drunk or high. He would call Emily or me first for a ride before he would do anythig stupid. I will be very proud the day he marries my daughter. He takes very good care of her. He does all her physical therapy, goes to all her doctor and hospital visits, makes her take her vitamins (that she doesn't like). I could continue to ramble, but you get the idea................... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Emily,

Just one question. Maybe he IS better now, but why would you even look and settle for a man like that??????????????????? Your standards should be higher!

This is why I "settle" for my Mike...

...among other things.

I'm not settling. Mike is the best thing that's ever happened to me. No one is perfect, and that includes Mike. But he's perfect <i><b>for me</i></b>. He was an imperfect smoker... but he quit for me. And it took him a lot of effort to succeed at that. He's proven himself enough to satisfy me (and my mother, apparently). <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Hi Emily,

I'm really glad that he does all your treatments, attends your appointments and visits, and ensures that you take all your vitamins. I just was worried that maybe you were settling that's all. If he makes you happy, that's all that matters. My husband isn't perfect either. He smokes, but outside only. He has quit many times for months at a time but slips back. I just was concerned because you stated that he doesn't drive (which makes me question how will he be able to support you financially in the future). Also emotionally, if something would happen to you, would he relapse? I hope not that's all. It's hard to find a decent guy. Mine does all the things that your Mike does when it comes to my care. It's just that I've been married nearly 2 years, and it's harder. You have to have a strong, trusting relationship before marriage. It gets really hard being denied state medical coverage. Being denied because your combined income is a penny too high now that you are married. My husband and I almost separated 3 months after marriage. We went to counseling and are fine now. Everything can get depressing quick. And then if your spouse changes jobs, you have to worry all over again. And if you end up in the hospital, you feel really bad because now everything is on him. If you have any bad habits or addictions, the problems are magnified. I never regret marrying my husband. It's just please make you and him as stable as possible before getting married. He has made great progress. I won't take that away from him. I just didn't know if you were"settling" because you had CF. I am glad that you are happy. I wish you both all the luck in the world. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ahhhhh.... Okay. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
The driving, he did for about a year and a half. He still has a car, but isn't driving now just because he can't currently afford his car insurance anymore. He'll be able to after he graduates college. So it's not a real issue. Just a bit inconvenient for now.

And we've talked about all that future stuff in depth 23488743 times. Haha. We talk about the huge amount of responsibility he'll be handed as time goes on, and all that. He knows what's coming. I've actually had him talk to Allie for just that reason.

He is a good guy. And <u>beware of the cheesiness</u>, I love him like I never thought possible. Hehehehee. Thanks for your concern, though. Hehe. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
