PS - I will pre-emptively say that if someone else had posted this I might just tell them to nut up.

Remember that you have to live with your wife. Open it with her if she wants. At my school you can go up at any time and read it. So, make her happy and then go read it out loud.

i'm looking at mine on my own before on-stage. i don't like having emotional news given to me in front of a crowd. i'm not the type who would want a marriage proposal at a large sporting event or anything of that type.

they randomly mix up all our envelopes in a box and call our names randomly one by one to get the envelope. as we pick it up we drop $1 in a bucket and whoever has their name call last gets the $200+. then we all open simultaneously in our schools courtyard.

pansies the whole lot of ya grab that f-ing envelope, walk up to the mic, and read what it says. does reading it in private change the fact that in a matter of hours/days everyone else in your school is going to know where you're going anyway? go out like a man, or at least a very masculine woman btw, i grabbed mine, walked up to the mic and said "If anyone wants a very nice condo with a view of the Sears Tower, I'm selling mine because I am moving to New York!" My wife found out the same time everyone else did; just a great moment that would have been ruined by absolute wussiness

word

Finally I agree with Soudes!!! If only his real life personality could live up to his internet bravado...

Dude - if you said that, you're a tool, no wonder we get such a bad rep... I think I'd rather respect my wife's wishes, as she has now made them clear.

absolute wussiness? wow, it's like jr high all over again! yay! i'm still looking at mine first. if that makes me a wussy - oh well.

md007, you must love picking fights; either that or you were born without the sense of humor gene. life is full of surprises; if you want guarantees you can always talk to your little sister (i kid...i kid)

oh yeah.....bone blaster i left something brown and smelly in your locker, right next to your latest copy of "Barely Legal Boys"

Soudes, Please ignore md007. It only encourages his anti-social behavior. While he does thrive on picking fights, he also seems to be strangely obsessed with some ill-perceived notion that orthopods have some "bad rap" in medicine and society in general. He truly somehow believes we must all atone for our sins as a profession. I'm not sure why he believes everyone else in medicine hates us, but I find it to be a strange perception by someone who is pursuing orthopedics. I'm am starting to feel sorry for him. Just search on all his previous posts and you'll see what I mean. Match day should be a fun celebration regardless of your school tradition. Sounds like you made the most of it as the majority of normal people would choose to do. Congrats to all who matched. -ED

unbelievable...but thanks for your sympathy earthdawg. let me know when you're mature enough to have a real debate and can comprehend sarcasm. Maybe then we'll revisit those other threads where you conveniently ignored the real questions I asked and began demonstrating your brilliant ability to take everything completely out of context.
