7. IM from my sweetheart on her way to class.

I never forget to say it before she leaves for school.
4 years in an E.R. gives you a fierce appreciation for the
fragility of human beings.

54. Absolutely!

17 years in health care, same conclusion. I would want to look back and say "Okay, the last words we ever spoke were 'I love you' and not 'Remember to take the trash out!"

69. My boyfriend is a cop.

And I agree with you: life is fragile. We never either of us leave home without telling the other "I love you", even if we're angry at the time. You just never know...

If you just can't resist and you finally convert...make sure you get your toaster in advance. :-)

28. Here's The Duck...

I turned off my signature line because the Comcast user webspace was really REALLY responding slowly the past couple of weeks. So... as a result, my sig image was causing threads to take forever to load.

I'll put him back soon.

9. Family and friends

I talked to my mom yesterday about my parents' trip to see me this weekend. I told her and Daddy both that I love them. I also talked to my best friend yesterday. She called to tell me she got a dog. She was very cute about it and I told her I loved her with a big grin on my face. She's just too cute sometimes. :-)

15. To Paul. Every day.

When he went in for his pacemaker all manner of thoughts filled my head. The worst was "What would my life be like without him in it?" So now I make sure to tell him every day how much I love him and how I care for him.

Yes, we still fight but I will NEVER go to bed mad. (I'll stay up and fight...just kidding.)

There's nothing in the world worth fighting over and never having the chance to say I love you once more.

17. I voted no...but maybe I shudda said yes cuz I say it to my

dog and cats, mom & pop, friends and the like.

But sadly I'm almost in my MID 30s and I've never been in love. Can you believe it? How strange is that!

The phrase makes me sick

My mother makes me say it out of guilt even though I don't mean it.

It's conditioned me to dislike the phrase all together.

41. Sure. To my wife and my son.

While my mother was alive, I made sure that every time I left her or said goodbye on the phone, the last thing I said was "I love you". And I meant it every time. Now that she's gone, I know what the last thing I said to her was. It helped, and still does. My wife and son and I do the same thing to each other now. I'm sure it'll help them when I go. We also say it to each other many times a day; so it's not just a superstitious practice. I know I mean it every time. I'm sure they do.

I can't tell her enough. That poor girl is coming down with a whopping cold or case of the flu, so I'm going to fix her dinner tonight, bring it into her on a tray, and hand her the remote.

Charlie had a health scare a few days ago when he munched on my albuterol inhaler and OD'd. After a night in the doggie hospital ($850 bill - ouch), he's almost back to his old self. I was soooo scared. Needless to say, I've hugged and kissed him excessively since then...
