New Merchandise Launch

[Merchandise]

'It's finally time. We are very excited to announce that ap.net is about to launch its new line of Merchandise. It’s taken a bit longer than originally planned, but we believe that the wait will be worth it. We have taken the time to work side by side with Adrian to include new images with new designs. We hope we have embodied the true essence of what he stands for.

There's something for everyone - from hats to posters to fun stuff like doggie t-shirts and baby bibs! There’s a wide range of products to choose from for all.

Check back soon as we will be going live with the new line of merchandise any day now. It’s been ages since new Adrian Paul merchandise has been launched and we are curious to hear what you think, so feel free to leave your comments via our feedback form.

By the way, we have also included a few freebie downloads, so we hope you enjoy them.

Can't wait for the new merchandise. Any chance that there will be 2009 AP calendars in tha group?:):)

[hcla]

I'm with you on that:D one Armanagrape!!!

[appeace]

Wouldnt that be simply precious!! Gammies little squibble in a baby bib of Adrian:D Id even post a pic of that;)

[Sam]

;) Squibbles would be precious in anything but especially that!!
Grace's grandpa would probably just put her up to plaster hers with spaghetti.:rolleyes:
I was thinking Coco and her mom need matching mommy/poodle t-shirts for those short winter strolls.;)

SShhhhh!! I'm trying to slip the credit card out of hubby's pocket while he's sleeping!! :p

[appeace]

PPPpppssssssttt(whispering) a glass of wine does wonders for sleeping!:rolleyes:

[Sam]

:rolleyes: He only drinks beer and that's a rare occasion.
:rolleyes: HHhhmmmm Baseball Bat???:p

[Merchandise]

The new Merchandise is finally here, check it out at adrianpaul.net under "STORE". There's so much to choose from, NEW STUFF, OLD STUFF and even FREE STUFF!

T-SHIRTS, HATS, DOWNLOADS AND MORE. We hope we have managed to satisfy all your "Adrian" wants and needs. Please feel free to let us know how you feel about all this new stuff!

[StephyC]

Hmmm I feel a bit if early Crissy gift shopping coming on.:)

Love the big free download pics too, but then I would wouldn't I. LOL One of them has given me a crazy idea... will have to see if it works out.:D

Shame there isn't an option to pay using PayPal? I know a lot of folks prefer that to using credit cards online.

[JustBecause]

I love the new lines! The Smile line is my favorite. :)

I love the new home page as well. Does anyone know where the castle is?

There's also the writing on Adrian's shirt that I can't read. Sigh... thats going to drive me nuts. I guess I'll have to Ask Adrian. :D :D

[Sam]

:D I like them both. I guess that means I'll need to get two of everything.;)
Just Because..If you find out what it says..you got to tell me. I saw pics of it and the con and I have been wondering ever since. I really love that shirt and he looks great in it.
Did you notice how dapper Dino looked in his doggie duds?? Too cute. I gotta get Coco one of the doggie shirts or she might not ever forgive me.
Is that a castle?? I'm thinking it was taken at the lake they visited. The one Dino fell into and Adrian had to fish him out of...:D

[pukkie]

Good work Merchandise Team
Its looking Great
I only not know how too buy something and how too pay it
from Europe.?

[Barney]

Are you referring to the white shirt Adrian is wearing in the new home page shot? If so, he wore that shirt at the convention in Vancouver but I can't remember what it said, something about music, sex and money. I'll have to think harder or maybe someone else who was there can remember.

I too like the Smile Line, a smile is a curve that sets everything straight. It sure doesn't hurt.

[hcla]

I payed using paypal??? But I'm a bit confused as the shopping cart listed 2 Images of a young Adrian book, one for 14.50, and one for 19.50... I'll either get 2 books or mabe its shipping? I'm such a dork when it comes to on-line shopping.

Thanks, Barney. Music, sex and money? I'd better not let my imagination work to hard at that one. :eek:

Maybe I won't Ask Adrian after all... :D

Hi hcla! Haven't seen you for a while. :)



Hi all,this is my first post and I am really excited about it all---joining this great forum,meeting all you fantastic people!!!

My English is a little rusty and my computerskills are kind of underdeveloped--so please be patient with me.

As to answer the question what is written on that fabulous shirt:
I think it says:"money can buy a soul
only sex and music can upgrade your soul"
At least that is what I read on the pictures from the con.

I wish you all a pleasant day,greetings from Germany!!

Alexandra

[Sam]

:rolleyes: Sorry I haven't been around..been under the weather or the weather's been over me..not sure which..
HCLA maybe one is paperback and one hardbound...Ask Victoria. I'm sure she'll know.;)
Just Because..what did you do?? Submit it as an Ask Adrian question??? :cool:
Maybe it'll turn up in an auction somewhere down the line.....
:D *Coco ducking a sword.....*

[webmaster]

The image we have used for the main page of the web site is from a set of images taken recently whilst Adrian was in Toldeo in Spain.

Sue

[JustBecause]

Thanks, Sue for sharing that with us!

[Sam]

Thanks Sue!


:D WELCOME TO THE BOARD brilliant! Macleod!!!
Glad you could join us!! And THANK YOU for telling us what the shirt says!!
I like what it says.

Hi Alexandra,

I can't believe I missed this. I read Coco's post and then went back and found it. I must already be nuts...no need to drive me there. :D

Thanks for posting this and welcome! :)

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Thanks for posting this and welcome! :)

Hi all,hiJustBecause and Coco,

thanks for your warm welcome!!
I`m really glad to be "aboard". I`m over 40 myself so I know exactly how you feel,JustBecause.My daughter is just driving me crazy these days and I keep forgetting things or miss important things--is this the age or is this normal for a mother of a (nearly ) teenagegirl?

Have a nice day
Alexandra

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Hi ,it`s me again.

I really like the new merchandise , especially the smile-line.

But I was hoping for a nightdress or nightshirt--would`nt it be great to have

Adrian(`s picture) close to your heart every night??

Lovely dreams

Alexandra

[Sam]

:p That would be a nice addition to the new merchandise.

A little of that comes with age but most of it comes from having teenagers. :rolleyes:
I'd like to tell you it gets better...but I'd be lying to ya.:p

[hcla]

Coco...don't scare off the new member....:D:):p

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Coco...don't scare off the new member....:D:):p

Hello hcla,
I`m not scared off so easily!!

Now that I finally DARE TO BE a member you can`t get rid of me::D

I`m really glad to be here!!

Have a nice day

Alexandra

[Sam]

:D I'd Never do that!!
Especially to someone who shares my name!!
Sandra derives from the Greek name Alexandra.;) Sam's just my nickname.

[brilliant!MacLeod]

My nickname is simply ALEX.

Did you know that Alexandra means "the protector"?

So we match the PEACE-idea very well.

Have a save day

Alexandra

[Sam]

:D I guess it is very fitting!! Now when my hubby and kids say I'm being bossy or intrusive...I can tell them it's my birthright!!!;)
Hope you are having a great day too Alex.

[cowlover81]

My name is Cassandra. I love my name b/c its had so many meanings that match my life. My parents org. found a meaning for it (that i've never been able to find again) Meaning Milker of cows lol. They said that's what sold it on them. And now as an adult I'm obsessed with cow stuff. My kitchen, dinningroom, stuff for my son, my personal stuff like bags, checkbook covers, etc etc ( I could go on) all have cows on them. The very common meaning is the Profettess (SP) of doom or the unbelieved prophet from the Greek myth. I've read the story many times and the basic gist that I get out of it is that you could be the coolnest, nicest, and have the ablitiy to help anyone but b/c everyone is so quick to judge, dismiss or even call you a heratic things go to hell all b/c they couldn't put all those things aside and listen to one person. Anyways, thats my two cents on that lol.

[hcla]

I ordered merchadise the same day I ordered the con dvds....9/16...I'm wondering if theres a problem with the order...or does it normally take this long?

[appeace]

My name is Sher'ie which, Ive been told, is the Celtic derivative of Sarah of the Bible meaning "always laughing, joyful".:D

Ive also been told that Im a jokester, or to put it in my hubbys terms, " a bit of a smart a----".:(

Is that the same thing???:rolleyes:

[cowlover81]

Sher'ie, I love that! My answer would be yes but then again I've been told that I'm quite a smart --- too lol!

[Sam]

:) HCLA you might want to contact Carmel on that one. I think I read something earlier from a list that there had apparently been a glitch but it had been caught and straightened out and that orders were now going out smoothly. I'm sure she'd be happy to help you.;)

OT. Sher'ie I think those two are interchangeable..or at least they are in my case.:p

[Merchandise]

Hello everyone,

merchandise@adrianpaul.net

Have a great day,

The Merchandise Team :o:D:)

[brilliant!MacLeod]

I ordered merchadise the same day I ordered the con dvds....9/16...I'm wondering if theres a problem with the order...or does it normally take this long?

HI,
I orderd my merchandise over two weeks ago and my con dvds even earlier--
but I didn`t get anything so far.HLWW told me they posted it sept.13th!
Creative cosmopolitan didn`t answer any of my questions.:(
I hope the precious things didn`t get lost!?

[hcla]

I got the dvds in 3 days or so, but not the book yet.....just to excited to see it....I often ask god to please give me paitence...and give me some right now...:D:)

[Merchandise]

For those of you who have emailed us @merchandise@adrianpaul.net everything is being looked into and we will have answers ASAP.

For all those who have not emailed: As much as we would like to look into your items, unfortunately we cannot know what you have ordered simply by looking at your "forum" names (even though we love all the really creative ones!) Please email us directly.

We promise the wait is well worth it!

As quoted “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”:p:p:p

[JustBecause]

Wow - a lot's been going on since I've been away. I love all the sharing of names. I'm Cathy - well, Catherine (from the hand-written copy of my birth certificate), actually Catharine (from the actual one). :D Nothing seems to be simple with me. :o

It means pure, virginal. :D Sorry - ROFLMBO!!! :D

[renate]

Thanks in letting me know.


Renate

[Merchandise]

Just a thank you to all of you who have purchased items and given us such great feedback.

Our issues with paypal now seem to be corrected, and in the case of the Legacy items, should all be on their way to you either already or very shortly. We have tried to keep postage charges as low as we can, so some items may take 8 – 10 days from now.

Thank you all for your patience and good will.

The Merchandise Team;)

[Sam]

Hi Merchandise. You have a rather fun screen name yourself.:D

So what items do you all like best?? I think my fav is of course the Images
book. But I especially like the throw pillows too.:p

:D Just for fun...if Adrian had his own line of fragrances...what would the name be???

[Merchandise]

With so many items to choose from it's hard to say which ones are the best!:D .....but definitely the pillows were a favorite when selecting....who doesn't like soft and snugly things.....we also love the greeting cards(great value), and who couldn't picture their own little ones wearing that adorable infant bodysuit????:p

We carefully selected each and every product. A lot of heart and soul went into creating the entire new line, but we still offer Legacy items that are our little "blast from the past" line.

That's why we are even more excited to hear from you all as to what you liked, what you disliked, and what you would like to see, so in the future we can as they say "give you what you want!"

Within the next day or so we will be uploading a feedback form as well, so comments are welcome via the forum, emails or the feedback form.

The Merchandise Team:):):

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Hello merchandise,

I like the mugs-- so you can start your day with a SMILE :):)

I also like the throw pillows and the shirts.My little daughter really wants to have the hooded shirt with "dare to de " on it ("dare to be" - a great fan of a gorgeous man).:D

But my absolute favourites are the legacy items - I didn`t have any so far.
I hope they will arrive soon so that we can order the next things.;)

[renate]

good choices. :):)

Renate

[Sam]

:D Hey Merchandise,
Inquiring minds want to know: Will payment with checks or money orders be an option added later on or is that not going to be an option??


(Side note for fellow fans.) I don't know about other countries but here in the U.S. you can purchase one of those credit cards at any Walmart and some other places for a small fee and have any amount loaded on it that you want
under $500.00. You can also request that your bank provide you with a Visa check cashing card with your checking account. Most banks will provide them free of charge and they can be used to purchase online products the same as a credit card. Hope that helps.;)

[Merchandise]

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. We have had many questions about payment for cafe press and legacy items.

For the legacy items besides credit cards we also accept checks and money orders, if they are from a U.S. account. As soon as they clear we will send you your merchandise.

As for the Cafe Press items, unfortunately we do not accept check or money orders, as the site itself is being run by a third party (cafe press) and not ourselves.

However it is possible to buy what is also known as a top-up card, which cocoknight mentioned, which you can place an amount of money on, and purchase using that card. It is not a credit card it is only a card that you can put some cash on and use, once the cash has run out the card is no longer valid. This is a possible solution for those who do not want to use credit cards.

We will try everything in our power to make it as convenient as possible when purchasing merchandise form our site in the future, and any other questions are always welcome.

Thanks, the Merchandise Team

[brilliant!MacLeod]

My legacy items arrived today :D (at least most of it,two items are missing:( )
YiPEEEEEEEE!!! Oh what a wonderful morning...I couldn`t stop reading the picture book - So I guess I have a lot of today`s work to do tomorrow;)

[Merchandise]

We have had a few questions regarding forgotten or missing merchandise, when some merchandise has arrived and other parts of the same order still have not.

We would like to first let everyone know that we handle each and every order with great care and do our best to make sure all items are not only sent to the correct addresses but also make sure they are packaged in the highest quality way to ensure safe arrival. :o

If you have only received part of the items that you have ordered it might be that you have ordered a poster as well. If you have ordered a poster you must know that posters always have to be packaged separately as they need to be cared for differently, so they do not get damaged. If you have ordered posters along with other merchandise they are being packaged and shipped separately and will probably arrive on a different date.

You should receive all items in a short time.

Have a great day,

The Merchandise Team :rolleyes:

[hcla]

I received my order...the Images of a Young Adrian....just beautiful...so neat for him and his family to share such heirlooms.

[Merchandise]

We are glad you like the "Images" book, it really is a very special item on our list.

For new comers; it's an insight, a taste, for those you have enjoyed his work; it shows where it all stems from, and for the die hard fans; it's a collectible....... must-have!!!! :D:D:D

Which young pic of Adrian's is your favorite?

We love the ones where he's a tiny baby!!! Too cute!!!!

Let us know!

The Merchandise Team

[brilliant!MacLeod]

I love the one outside the "pool".::)
Was it the first glimpse of tides of war?
Anyway,he was (and still is:D) a cutee.

[hcla]

my favorite is on the cover of the book, and again on the inside, of Adrian kissing his mother's nose...this is a very endearing photo, and it shows too, the absoulute love of a mother.

[Ambereliz]

Love the "Images" book and every photo inside is a treasure. Wish the follow up book "Teenage years" would be available to purchase since I do have the "Images" book already and have given a copy to every one of my friends. :) Who ever does not own it should make sure they get it while there still are copies to be had :)

[Barney]

I love the new lines! The Smile line is my favorite. :)

I love the new home page as well. Does anyone know where the castle is?

There's also the writing on Adrian's shirt that I can't read. Sigh... thats going to drive me nuts. I guess I'll have to Ask Adrian. :D :D

Okay, I watched one of the DVD's of the Vancouver convention and you can plainly see what is written on Adrian's shirt and it reads;

Money can buy a soul

Only sex and music

Can upgrade your soul.

Lizzie had him turn around so she could read what his shirt said. So now you don't need to go nuts although I think that's good for everyone to go now and then.

Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks ahead

[JustBecause]

Thanks Barney.

I've gone nuts so often, I'm almost a permanent resident. :D

[Coolwater]

...Only sex and music Can upgrade your soul...

Well, now THAT is going to drive ME nuts. :eek::confused:

To horse! I hie me to Google!

[Coolwater]

I think it might be song lyrics translated into English. The phrase turns up on Bulgarian, Russian, and Turkish My-Space-type pages. Here's the long version, grammar and all, but corrected for typos, because not all the copies have the same typos, but they have the same grammar.


"When I want to laugh - I will laughing
when I want to cry - I will crying
when I want to drink - I will drinking
when I want to smoke - I will smoking
when I want to dance - I will dancing
when I am in love - I love with all my heart.
when I want to tell you something - I will do.
Only Sex and Music can upgrade your Soul"

[Littledevil]

Hey it's a true statement. There isn't anything better than great sex & great music to improve oneself (Soul)! Except maybe a great glass of red wine. My fav is called Scarlett. I get it in Georgia. I think it is called Georgia Wineries it is off Interstate 75. They have a really great Muscadine Wine too. I lean toward sweet wine myself, but not too sweet.

I was wrong, Great Sex, & Music with Adrian Paul would upgrade my soul! :rolleyes: :D:D:D:

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Would you by any chance consider to share?:D

[dd in NH]

Having received my purchases - can only say WOW. Posters are fantastic, tote bag and all the goodies inside - only wished I had purchased more.. like the polo shirt and the other poster.... O well can alway buy myself an early Christmas present. dd in NH:o

[Littledevil]

Sure, there is plenty of Adrian to go around. So long as he keeps making movies and showing off his sexy body I will be happy.

[Coolwater]

Man, the things one finds out about on-line! When you said Scarlett, I just assumed you were talking about a blended wine. But nope, Scarlett is a new grape. It must be pretty fungus resistant if it grows in Georgia.

http://www.home-gardening-tips.com/2008/04/16/sweet-scarlet-a-new-seedless-grape-variety/

I'm not generally fond of sweet wines, but this grape is described as having a flavor like a muscat, and I like those. Have you tasted a muscat canelli? I bet you'd like it.

[Sam]

:eek: Little Devil have you been tipping through my neck of the woods again??
I love their wines!! (split a bottle last week with daughter and baby sis ;):p ). Hey if I'm gonna go..then I'm going happy!! Baby sis is moving to that region in two weeks so we had to celebrate.
I prefer the sweeter wines as well.
Coolwater certain varieties of grapes do grow quite well here. Muscadines often can be found growing wild.

OK Back to the topic at hand...
I spoke to Santa (that would be my daughter). Santa says I can have an AP merchandise Christmas if I want one. (AND I WANT..I WANT!! *panting like a puppy*)
First thing at the top of my list (and praying they haven't run out by then) is the Images book.
I was wondering if there was any chance of getting a signed copy...:( cause it's not like I'm ever going to make it to a con or autograph session...

[Coolwater]

CoCo: Coolwater certain varieties of grapes do grow quite well here. Muscadines often can be found growing wild.

I know; I just didn't think any good wine grapes did. Mustangs grow there, too, right? I got sick on the Muscadines once when no one told me you had to spit out the pulp. Bleah.

[hcla]

Coco...Santa is here...I mistakingly ordered 2 of the images book, and was wondering who to give it to...PM me and I'll send it to you....:)...and it is sighned...both were....'TIS THE SEASON!!!!

[Littledevil]

Coco, when I go to Tennesse to visit my Uncle or my mom passes through there, we pick up some of there wine. I'm Addicted to it. It's great with a bubble bath and some candles and great music. Just add AP giving a massage and you have a spa with a hot cabana boy!:D

[Sam]

:D Bless you Coolwater. They didn't tell you you'd need to stay VERY close to the potty if you ate the pulp? Shame on them!! Thank goodness the wine doesn't have that same affect. Yes there are even more mustang grapes grown here than muscadines.
We uncorked a bottle of cabernet sauvignon from the Habersham Vineyards outside of Helen. They have daily wine tasting sessions so you get to taste your wines before you buy them. They have great prices too. You can buy by the bottle or the case. They also allow you to mix the case so you can have a variety.
LD that sounds like the perfect evening to me.:p


Hi HCLA!! OR should I say Santa??:D THAT'S FANTASTIC!! Now I won't have to worry about it getting sold out first and it's signed too. That is too cool!!:cool: You are awesome!! I'll pm you with the particulars.

Pssst... you don't happen to have any AP dna samples stashed on there for cloning purposes do Ya ??? * Coco doing her mad scientist laugh.**

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Hi Coco,
it´s great to have you back!:)
I really missed you here :D
Now I have to go and pretend to work...

[hcla]

oh Coco my dear if I had AP'S DNA stashed I'd turn into an evil elf.....(hcla laughing like Reinfeild....hehe...hehe..hehe, mine all mine) :D You are so welcome....set back a fine bottle of Merlot, get some candles ready, the book will be there in a few days.

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Hey, the book is signed!
Shouldn´t there be some DNA on the book ?:D He may not have kissed the book but at least he touched it, so it´s worth trying:D

[Sam]

HCLA I will follw your instructions to the letter...as soon as I lock the warden out of the house and send him to play with his friend so I can have some peace and quiet.:p
Hi Alex. It's great to be back. I missed being here.
Now about that elusive DNA...(*Coco suddenly becoming Dr. Frankenstein..*)
Alex do you think your doctor hubby would mind letting us use his office to set up our lab?? I promise to be a good girl and try not to blow it up. :rolleyes::p

Now that a lot of you have gotten some of your merchandise and seen it...
What was your favorite item?? I need some help choosing. What would you recommend??

[brilliant!MacLeod]

Coco,
I`m afraid hubby would try to blow it up himself, he became a little jealous of AP these days(can´t imagine why:D),esp since my merchandise arrived. But we don´t have to tell him what we plan,do we?:D We could send him to his horse for a loooong ride, steal his key and get started....;)
So far only the legacy items are here,so I can give you my advice only on these.
They are all fantastic:D, esp the colour poster and the images book.

[hcla]

On the subject of the shirt.....I'm having a totally DUH...moment...I don't get it????? "Money can buy your soul...sex and music can upgrade it....I'm missing something here.:o

[Littledevil]

I am going to get a couple of the items but can't decide on which for christmas to myself. They all are great. If Adrian even touched lets say one of the shirts I would wear it to bed.:D

[Coolwater]

Would AP autograph a shirt for you?

I got one of the caps and it's very nice, it's soft and well made. It now says, Dare To Bee on it, and pretty soon it will have a bee as well. I'll post when it's finished.

BTW, if you plan to tinker with the font on the hat, the color of the lettering is not red, but tomato sauce colored. :eek: Who has a marker the color of tomato sauce?? You'll just have to mix your markers until you get it blended.

I don't get it either, HCLA.

On the subject of the shirt.....I'm having a totally DUH...moment...I don't get it????? "Money can buy your soul...sex and music can upgrade it....I'm missing something here.:o

I'm going wa-a-a-y out on a limb here - but that's normal for me (hope it doesn't snap, just my luck its a long way down). :D

What if something got a bit lost in the translation? What if 'upgrade' really should be 'uplift' in English? :)

[Coolwater]

Sure, could be. That would make sense. I was assuming that it was literally translated and meant that the soul was renewed the way a computer would be. Unless we can find the original and get someone to translate it, I think we're stuck!:confused:

[JustBecause]

Oh I see. You're saying it could also be upgrade like 'taken to a higher plane'? :)

I never know if it's higher plane or higher plain... :confused: ...either way - what a fantastic journey! ;)

[hcla]

That would make sense....I still feel I'm reading it wrong...money will do nothing for ones soul/spirit or what ever you believe...but sex and music sure will :D I feel a bit stupid here...and because I'm a freak for written sayings...lyrics,poems , ect....the shirt is still a mystery.

[Coolwater]

I think it's "higher plane," meaning a higher level. A higher plane could also be an airplane at higher altitude, but a "higher plain" might mean a grassy mesa above the prairie! :p

that would make sense.

I'll take either. :) I hope I won't have to climb to the 'higher plain' - I'm clumsy beyond belief. :o

OK first the shirt (which I love BTW). To me...I think it means that you can sell your soul for money.... but it's great sex and music that will truly give your soul a spiritual boost. But this chick's soul has never, would never, and could never be sold for any amount of money. :rolleyes: which probably accounts for my finances.....but I'd rather have an empty wallet and a full heart than have a full wallet and an empty heart.;)

OK NOW THE MERCHANDISE!!!
I got it!! I GOT IT!!! THANK YOU SANTA!! :p I have in my possession that ever elusive Images book and the lovely Peace journal!!
The journal is great and has five lovely photos of Mr. Paul in it with some very nice words of wisdom quoted!!
The Images book is even better than I had hoped it would be!! Many VERY precious photos of Adrian and his lovely family during his childhood. He shares so many personal memories of his childhood. I opened it up and got half way through it before I managed to force myself to put it down. There were moments that I found heartwarming and moments that I was literally rolling with laughter. It is written so well that you can honestly imagine yourself being there. In my opinion...if you don't have this book...you definitely should get it. It's definitely something I will always treasure! So MANY THANKS to Adrian and his wonderful family for sharing those precious moments and their private photos with us.

ok you convinced me, I will get that one for sure. I agree with you coco. I would rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable. Sure I would like the finer things in life, but not at the expense of my happiness. Money truely is the root of all evil, especially in the hands of the greedy CEO's and washingting politicians. That is a whole other topic I'm not even going to get into.

:eek: LD You don't have it yet?? Lady I KNOW you will love it!! I don't want to give away too much of it. But I am still laughing from some of the stories I read.
Now as for what pic was my favorite?? Gosh they are all great. So many to choose from... I love the center two pics. The one of him and his dad and then the one of him and his mom. Those were pretty priceless. With such a beautiful mom and such a handsome dad....he had no choice but to the handsome guy he is. The expression of love between them captured in the photos just grabs your heartstrings.
But I also loved the BUCKET photo. It captures that devilish little boy with the angelic face so well. Definitely a flash of what was to be in the future. :D That look in his eyes that says: Now what can I get into next?? It's just too precious!!
The one of him holding his baby brother reminded me so much of my avatar.
So I can't decide. But that's what I have narrowed it down to. Although there were many that came close.

Yep LD. I too can appreciate the finer things in life that money can afford. But I can survive on my own just fine without them. But for me..there is no life if there is no love.;)

[hcla]

No life without love....so true mighty wise one....Coco..:D...Outside of the love for our children....how many here can say you have the love of your life...soul mate so to speak currently as your partner??? Mind blowing sex does'nt count...though important I guess...I've always focused more on the buddy system...the real friendship part of being together....take away all the baggage and complexities of a relationship, look at the human beside you and decide if he's your dearest friend.

[JustBecause]

You are so right hcla - traveling down life's road with your best friend and lover (as the same person :D :D) is a wonderful thing.

I got my images book today. I am going through the book while watching Adrian's Charmed episode this afternoon.

It is wonderful to see Adrian and his family doing those things that we all have experienced as families. I am the custodian of my family's pictures since my mother passed away. I will have to dig them out and go back through them. So many memories.

I want to thank Adrian for sharing these moments with us:)

Hello Lisa and WELCOME!!:D
Your statement is so very true!!
It does take you back to memories of your own childhood.
AP's "cowboy years" reminded me so much of when my brothers and I were kids playing. We played "Cowboys and Indians" all the time. For some reason though they were always the cowboys and I was the Indian squaw getting tied to the tree. Wellll that is ...until I learned how to shoot a mean bow and arrow. Then it was them tied to the tree and me doing the war dance.
:D Even though AP found out about tampons before I did....I won't hold it against him. I swear I burst into laughter every time I think about that story!!


OT: I don't think given the ups and downs of a relationship and the things that one goes through during the course of a lifetime allows us to be soul mates with our partners. It's that whole "any thing you say and do will be held against you in the event I get mad" deal.
I do have someone who is about as close to a soul mate as I think one can get to it. It sure as heck ain't my hubby though!! But here's the shocker for you......my "soul mate" is a 37 year old, fairly attractive male. And after you put your tongues back in your mouths AND before you ask "Yes Hubby has a few jealous flare-ups about it". Still there are things I don't want shared with him.

[Littledevil]

I used to believe in Soul Mates when I was Younger, but like HCLA said your mate being your friend and lover is a better option. My hubby and I get along fine most of the time and it is just the stresses of life that get in our way. The fact that I am a stay at home mom now and he is the bread winner, to him helping around the house and me helping him with the business, to other family stuff around us. It comes down to finding the same path together and helping each other over obstacles to get to the other side.

Coco, I couldn't have said it better myself. Quote: "anything you say and do will be held against you in the event I get mad". I know I shouldn't but that statement is definitely true for me when i am mad at my husband. I try to keep what I bring up to the most recent statements though.

Mind Blowing Sex does help, but when sex is disrupted because the baby wakes up from his nap early or just too tired for the effort, there has to be something more between you both.
