Damn, I cannot imagine how the heck I forgot to make wedgies an option on the third question!
You are not alone in such an oversight, no man, and you're ergothuswithforthly forgiven, si man.
Could have added knuckle sandwiches too in retrospect!
In contrast with knuckle sandwiches, wedgies can be administered in multiple strengths and emotional states (gentle, loving, playful, and many more). It bears repeating, si man: In any healthy relationship, wedgies are a sign of commitment. :)

My spouse lives with me now, but I answered for when we were physically apart.

Every day (except the one day his power was out all day, and that was before he had a cel phone.)

I answered "voice messenger" as the preferred method because our real choice wasn't listed: Ventrilo, a VoIP program.

We currently use yahoo messenger every 2-3 days at the moment mixed with a skype phone call every few weeks and the odd email here and there. Previously it had been msn, email, yahoo messenger sms and texts from our cellphones and last but not least the chat program we met in. We've had to rely on YM due to his cellphone provider cutting back supporting international sms and yahoo sms which had been our lifeline for the last year. Stupid cellphone provider (i'd actually brought the phone for a present for him while on my last trip) :crying:

Currently he relies on borrowing his mums computer every few days, In theory I could send him a sms from my phone and he'd be able to read it but He can't respond at all to them! Which If I did that every day it would rack up my phone bill as I only used it as a temp measure when yahoo sms went down or i'd just returned home from seing him just so he knew I was safe.

Hoping he gets internet again super soon I miss being able to chat away, in the same way we used to. It hurts asnd sucks not being able to see him on webcam once in a while or just fall asleep voicing online we used to do that alot. Would fill in the gap of us not being together. I can cope with this but there are some days when you just want or need to really talk about things and a 5-10 minute hi everythings fine, miss you, did so and so super brief rundown of 2-3days, i'm ok doesn't really cover the indepth conversation part. I'm a social person and love hearing of his day any thoughts and how kids are, it's difficult not having that I feel further away than I usually do. :(

~We started chatting online through a chat room in October 2007~

~We decided to have an online a relationship till we felt comfortable enough to meet in January 2008~

~Yay we finally met at chicago airport February 2010~

~Randy asked me to marry him March 2010 (informally with the promise of saving for a ring for my next trip)~

~Stayed with Randy for 3 month Vacation till April 2010 {it was great and I didn't want to come home =0( ~

~October 2010 Went to see randy for a second time for 3 months wohoo (was so sad to leave but it was a great 3 months)~

~25th October 2010 Randy asked me to marry him formally with a twin set ring the day I got there (was the happiest moment of my life)~

~To date saving for a 3rd trip,wedding and birth cert and hopfully applying for a CR-1 visa instead of a K-1 visa as origionally planned~

This is referring to when we were apart:

I voted - a couple times a week but it was more like a few times a week. Some weeks it was everyday and some it was every other or so.

We mostly spoke on the phone but would also IM on occasion. Mostly MSN. Occasionally we would use webcams but not too often. We did more IMing/video chatting prior to actually getting married.

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

We have a running email each day. So, once a day, but up to 110 back-n-forths. Also an average of a skype a day. How WELL do we communicate is a different story. He doesn't do punctuation, so sometimes I read him wrong.

ok....so check this out....since me and my fiance started dating we are connected, literally connected to our phones in an actual phone call 24/7! no breaks! no hang ups! we literally sleep together, wake up together, work together, eat, shower, family, errands, bathroom...EVERYTHING - literally everything connected to our phone calls or video chats! And we still can't get enough! we NEVER run out of topics or things to talk about to each other or the family. When a family member walks by we yell 'HEY' and start a whole new conversation LOL! It's AMAZING! We almost came sooooo close to beating the world record of longest phone call (65 hours i believe) BUTTTTT....the wifi signal dropped at 45 hours! dang.....The only time we are not on the call is when our phones/headsets/battery banks die, when the network connection goes down for maintenance (or so they say. i'm convinced they are down cuz we bring it down with our talking B-)) or when we are travelling or in meetings and can't bring phones with us. It brought us soooo much closer then we ever thought it could! and it really made the boundaries and boarders of long distance disappear! we can't feel that we are millions of miles away from each other. Cuz to us we are already living together :wub:
