And this is why I needed to ask the list about this.

Having been married once before, I realize that cat-5 between a woman's mind and her mouth are sent through a NAT  router and therefore everything she says is camoflauged.

  uh.. matt.. it was stupid because she didnt have one to wave back...

  seriously, this is one area where women seem to revert to the fifties. She
  wants a ring. She doesnt want a ring that will have you guys eating peanut
  butter for the next ten years, but she wants a ring lol

  >   You guys are right about the intestinal fortitude thing.  We went to the movies one night, and we ran into someone she knew from a while back, who was there with her freshly minted fiancee.  The girl kept waving her hand up and down in a "look at this!" gesture, while my gf just sat there.  When we got away from them, I said "Why didn't you look at her ring, she wanted you to look." She replies "I don't care about that, I didn't want to see it.  That's stupid."  To her, she only cares about the fact that it symbolizes something between us rather than something for evryone else to look at.  I really do have a wonderful girl.
