*** Random LGMH Story ***

Other people's boyfriends take them out for elaborate meals, and buy them Tiffany bracelets. My boyfriend, though, is eighteen, lives by himself, goes to school, pays rent and has no money. Our dates are nights in with movies. When I see him going through his change jar to treat me to some chocolate, it makes me wanna cry. His LGMH.

That is so great of him. Not to get all preachy, but it reminds me of the story in the Bible of the widow whose few small coins mean more than the rich people's hundreds. :)

Wow! He sounds like such a selfless person. And by the way, khfreek, I don't think that was necessary. If you don't like that person's story, just go on to the next one. No need to be negative or rude.
