'Susan' sounds supercute, but IRTW i would have quit before the 1st roller coaster (where's ai quaida when you need them?). but i guess this site paid you, so all's well :-) i slightly lost count of the repeat & rinse of: ride, feeling vomitatious, ride, feeling vomitatious, etc. at the end, the ‘rabbit mug mashmello’ thing didn’t work out (an unfinished joke? did i miss a reference to an obscure gEIco caveman ad?)

Sounds like you're climbing now. It's not the fall or the loop de loop it's the here we go again and again and again. You may survive or you may bail. The good news is either way you're proably going to write about it. Good story Ray. Love is a roller coaster ride. Sounds like you’re climbing now.
