Starting a thread to collect some of my encounters with my sweet and lovely spouse which I've recounted in other threads -- and hopefully add some new ones. I was lying on my back on the sofa; my wife was lying on top of me, her hands folded on my chest, her chin perched on her hands, her eyes...

Merry Christmas! As a present I asked a computer to write a story for y'all. Once, there was a guy named John who received an invitation to a party from a friend he hadn't seen in a while. Excited to catch up with his old buddy, John eagerly accepted the invitation and made his way to the party...
