I thought Coco was the only Chanel, was #5 or #19?

I guess it is called "Mademoiselle" but I thought at first it was just "Coco"

So far, so good. 20 years and counting! Thanks Sharon.
....I'm so glad to see that you both have persevered through the much less tolerant times than we have now...yes, there is much more progress that needs to happen to fully recognize the rights of all to marry or co-exist with whom they choose, but yours is a great success story and I applaud that...

I got the most wonderful gifts this year.

My darling had bought a bracelet to me, it has the same pattern as my necklace he bought me earlier this year. I just love it as I love him.
My mother in law had knitted a pair of socks to me and both mother and father in law had bought a pajamas to me and to Juho too.
I got a wonderful handmade wall decoration from my mom and a box full of different cheeses from dad. A gift certificate from my sister.
Yes it was a special Christmas full of wonderful gifts. Even if I said to Juho on Tuesday evening when we drove to visit his grandpa that I don't
care if I don't get any gifts this year, I got my best gift May 1st night when I met him and he said same to me. :smile:

Yes, when we were first together, it was difficult to be out at work for both of us. Now, not so much for him and not at all for me. My husband works in a much more buttoned up environment than I do.

...I can understand the homophobic leanings of some bastions of business, don't appreciate it-but understand it...hell, the radio station group that I work for is under 30 employees. and the percentage of gay & lesbian employees is near 40% I'd say...I love em all, and just wish they quit segregating themselves when we have a group station function-it's common knowledge, and shouldn't be an issue...

Perhaps you might ask them why they do this? Maybe there's some friction amongst your other co-workers that you're not aware of. Either way, I wish more folks were like you, Scott. You're my hero!
