Thank you so very much for reading and then for that six beautiful star rating for: "Eight Simple Rules". It is definitely real, I did write it and my kids have been married for 14 years and they are very much in love with each other and their three little ones that you see in the picture.

You're very welcome! That's really wonderful :)
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Loved this completely! Could not wait to come back and review it. But then got so busy and I was afraid I wouldn't do it justice. So here I am.
How do I love this? Let me count the ways!! LOL.. Eight, there are eight ways I love it. One for every rule you had written down. And let me say for those who took this way too serious, get a life! You showed the perfect scenario for the perfect situation and I bet that your daughter and son in-law both thought it was adorable.
If mine would have done something like this to me, I'd been feeling so loved.
I hope you go further with this. If you ever want help, just let me know. Ok?
Once again, I love it. Thanks for the great entertainment and for being you.
Love ya bro!! Debi

Comment from Sally Law
Dan,
I'm sorry to be so late in this. What a fun story and wonderful family you have. I can appreciate you guarding your daughter. I didn't have a father present in my life and Mama was my only parent. She set a high standard for the one I would marry too. She checked a few at the door, if you know what I mean, like a hockey player in a game. Smiles!
Sending you my best today as always.

Sally, I want to thank you so very very much for taking the time to pull down this piece and reading it. Then you took the time to review it and review it you did. Then you Rewarded it with five absolutely gorgeous stars. Thanks so much for doing that.
-
I meant to give this a six and flubbed it. I'm so sorry about that, Dan. I'm glad my I pleased you with my sincere five and true heart.
All my best,
Sal :))

Absolutely Sally, have no fear there is a limit to those six stars, and we all know it. L O L I appreciate your kind words.
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I have seen some fellows actually say stuff in 1-7 to prospective son-in-laws. Dad didn't say boo to mine.
Wish he had as things turned out. This was funny and heart felt. Karen

I hear you Karen, I kind of think the coolest one of all, to be true of the first seven, would be the one about the dowry that he was to pay us! I'm not sure, but I don't think he ever considered it. L O L I am glad you liked it after taking the time to read it, I also appreciate the fact that you rated it. Then for the cherry on top of the cake, you gave me five beautiful stars. Thanks.
-
You wrote it well. Giving emotional support far outweighs anything else you can give them.:-)
-
I know that's right. Thanks again Karen.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
It certainly sounds as if you all hit the jackpot. And there is no greater riches than in-laws who love the person their child married. I'm happy for all of you and enjoyed reading this amusing - and tender - piece. xo

Thank you so very much Rachelle for both reading and rating these "Eight Simple Rules"! You are so right, Kathy and I are so blessed to have two Inlaw kids who really love our two kids and US. It's a whole lot easier when families really care about each other to get to see your grandchildren, and other wonderful things. Before I had finished reading the first sentence to Josh he knew that I was joshing him. Humor is a part of our family legacy. (The only part of the first seven rules that I wish were true was the part about him paying us a dowry). I'm pretty sure Josh never even considered it! Ha ha. I want to thank you for the five beautiful stars you gave me.
-
Yes, such a shame those dowry things didn't stand the test of time!!
-
Yeah, I'm with ya.
There's just one area of caution concerning dowries. Many cultures have it correct, but some have it backwards. In those cultures, the parents have to pay a dowry to the couple. That would be a bummer L.O.L.
-
Whoa!! Is that a theme and variation on Rodney Dangerfield's "take my wife...please!"?
-
I don't know Rachelle, you just might have something there. We could ask Rodney, but I hear he is still getting very little respect.
-
Yeah, he's not composing any new comedy work. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's de-composing. Ohhhh, I did NOT say that!!!
-
Ah Oh Rochelle I'm not sure, was that disrespectful? L O L
-
No, Rodney would have found it hilarious. He'd have wished HE thought of -and executed- it!
-
Ha ha, I think you're right Rochelle. Have a blessed weekend.

Thank you so very much Teri for taking the time to both read and rate this piece. I thank you for your compliments and your affirmation of my family. I would also like to thank you for the five Beautiful stars you gave me.
Comment from joann r romei
If only every father would propose such a document, lol. I'm guessing a mother can write the same for her son, not a bad idea. Was that the show John Ritter had a heart attack on and died?

Thank you so very much for reading and writing this piece. You are absolutely correct a mom could do the same thing. And on top of that, I give you permission to use any portion of this as a template for yours lol. Yes it is the show that John was on stage that fateful day. I would also like to thank you for the five beautiful stars you gave me.
Comment from tfawcus
I'm assuming this is tongue-in-cheek. It's an interesting set of rules and conditions, but a union based on love should not need such strictures. It seems that your daughter and son-in-law's marriage has been a happy one.

I'd like to thank you so very much for taking the time to read and then to rate my "Eight Simple Rules". Yes you are right it was absolutely tongue-in-cheek and from the very beginning Josh was aware that I was joshing him lol. The picture you see is the picture of them and yes after 15 years they are very happily married.
I thank you as well for the five beautiful stars.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Um, uh, okay, alrighty then... Ahhh, I have no words. Except maybe these -- I am really, REALLY happy that they are already married and this #6 is history. (Hahahahahaha!) (But it does make me wonder if he complied...)
The photo is wonderful!

Thank you so very very much Dawn for reading and rating: "Eight Simple Rules". I also want to thank you for holding onto one of those beautiful six stars this late in the week and giving it to me.
The truth is he read number 8 which says: "Disregard all the frivolity that is numbers 1-- 7. After that, it was all over but the laughing. Ha ha ha.
