So, will you ask that future DVD releases change Mary's name to her current one? Seriously, congrats to the both of you. Finding the right person is always awsome. Hope you guys have the best life together possible.

NormalView, Thank you so much for; 'Congratulations taken with a heartbeat' (what a nice phrase!)... And she's still making one extraordinarily lucky Texan laugh daily... RAD Do you know this guy? Can you take him? Want we should do a meat meet & greet? We take care of the 'family'.

Cheese, You misinterpreted Change's (Oops! Sorry! I mean Navin's) post. He's a friend of Mary Jo and myself, and he was playfully playing upon my entry that she was 'making one extraordinarily lucky Texan laugh daily...' (meaning me of course) to make it seem like she was making some OTHER extraordinarily Texan laugh daily... and the Board, being a family, would step in and rub this interloper out. Get it? Wasn't a slur against you at all. Continue to come in peace and respect everyone here. It truly is a family. RAD

My belated congrats to the lovely couple. My clock is still available as a possible gift, if you are interested in a clock that chimes at the weirdest time every 15 minutes. It makes a great conversation piece. Thank you so much for the clock offer! Actually though, we were the extremely fortunate recipients of the best Cuckoo Clock in the whole-widest-world during the last board meet-up in Denver earlier this year (in point of fact, it has, even as this is being written, been sent to the foremost Cuckoo Clock repair-person I could find for a complete overhaul. I'm serious.) But your offer, and your well-wishes, are more appreciated than you know. Our best to all of you, RAD and Mary Jo Pehl What happend? Did it stop running? Please tell me.

Doctor,
No!! It was working. There was just a small screech that you would hear every time the pendulum swung back and forth, and it would run fine for a couple of days and then stop unexpectedly. I made the mistake of spraying WD-40 into the workings to stop the squeak, but it didn't help. I took it into a local clock-store and they cleaned the cogs (and admonished me for spraying WD-40 into it as they said it would actually attract and hold abrasive elements within the workings) and, while they did eliminate the screeching, it would still simply stop occasionally. I found a guy on-line who is the self-proclaimed 'Cuckoo Clockologist'. After browsing his site, I told Mary Jo that I wouldn't trust our beloved marital clock to anyone but this guy. We sent it UPS last week, and I still lament it being gone. As I've told you, Doc, thanks to this cherished gift from the Board, I've become an avid Cuckoo clock fan and have looked at literally hundreds, and I've not seen one that is more striking and perfect as the one you gave us! We LOVE this clock!

OK, thnaks for responding. I've had a lot of trouble with my clocks lately. UPS smashed two of them in transit and a couple inexplicably stopped running or never did run after being shipped. All of them were fine before I sent them along, well padded with bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts. Lots of lost time and refunds which didn't make me very happy. Cuckoo Clocks are fragile things and I have been wondering out loud lately if I should even fixing them for resale anymore. I really wanted yours to be special. I don't feel too awfully bad because it was months before the trouble showed up. Your clock is well over 60 years old, so I guess it can be forgiven if it's a little cranky. I hope the guy fixes it super well for you both and that's the last trouble you'll have with it for years to come. Oh yes, WD-40 is a no-no. It works for awhile, but then it drys out and gums up the works.

Cheese, Don't you dare feel silly! I just wanted you to know that Navin's (I mean Change's) post wasn't directed at you. Gotta watch him, though, he's a crusty curmudgeon that makes even Phantom Engineer seem like Mary Poppins!

It goes without saying that you both have my sincerest congrats. May you continue to live out every fanboy's dream, Ronald. Now, if I can just find Carrie Fisher's number, maybe we can double date...

...our beloved marital clock...! That's naughty! Well, it sounds naughty, anyway. Best wishes for a happy return of a fully functional marital aid clock.

As a formerly married man, I often wonder why two people who care about each other would do such an awful thing to each other as get married. Congrats, RAD and MJ! I first read this as "someone to shave". Riot!

Sorry I came to the party late, but it's never too late to offer congrats. You have indeed warmed my cockles (and that's not an easy thing to do!) Huzzah for you both Rad and MJ.
