Romance Paranormal
She gave away her heart…
Giving her heart to a mortal wasn't something the First Fate
planned. Losing him nearly shattered her soul. Upon his
death, Clotho swore never to love—or weave life—again.
Hoping she'll change her mind before it's too late, Zeus
commands the spinner of life to take a much needed vacation
from her immortal responsibilities. He had to hide his...
Dane is close to cracking the drug ring he's spent the last
two years infiltrating, but needs to perform one last heist
to meet the head man and prevent an impending war. An
undercover agent, he’s now on the run from drug lords,
thieves and with the very woman whose tears make him forget
his purpose. Together they’ll find a way back from the dark.
Chloe will have to put her trust in the man she believes may
have killed her fiance, or face an eternity on Earth.
Without the desire for life, hope could slip through the
cracks of time if he doesn’t love away her sorrow.

Re: Creating Fate
sorry you were too fast for me Angie, read the post now. It's a wonderful story. I spent many years apart from my husband and learning to live together again is always difficult.

The one moment in my life that my gut told me something was right was when i started to write my stories. I love to write and i want to be published someday. Writing is a passion of mine and my gut is always telling me that this is my calling.
(Anthonia Sharp 12:53pm July 23, 2012)
never underestimate the power of writing, it can take you to places and it is all your own. Writing has been my passion since i was sixteen. i have always had this gut feeling that writing was my calling.
(Anthonia Sharp 1:20pm July 23, 2012)
my gut has always told me writing was my calling. That and i have a fantastic imagination to go with it.

When making decisions for things in my life things always seem more right when the whole family is happy.

When you rely on your gut you get more done, and it helps you to make more choices that will help you in life.
(Anthonia Sharp 2:04pm July 23, 2012)
Angie, I hope you had a chance to come back and read it. :)
(Rachel Firasek 2:15pm July 23, 2012)
I recently graduated from college and I relied on my gut to help me out when taking tests in school whenever I was unsure about the answers. This is all that comes to mind at the moment although I know there are other instances I have relied on my gut.
(Chelsea Knestrick 2:27pm July 23, 2012)
Not right, but definitely when something was wrong.
(Anne Muller 2:44pm July 23, 2012)
Rachel, this brings tears to my eyes. I adore you! What a powerful sentiment. So
glad you learned how to be together again. :)
(Misa Ramirez 2:44pm July 23, 2012)
Anthonia, beautifully put. Listen to your instincts, always!
(Rachel Firasek 3:01pm July 23, 2012)
I'm notoriously terrible at listening to my gut. I over-think everything to a
criminal degree. But that feeling is always there and it's never wrong.
Also, curse you for making me tear up at work!!! ;)
(Katee Robert 3:05pm July 23, 2012)
Yes, on June 27th 2007 I woke up and my gut told me that it
was time to quit smoking. I had been a smoker for over 25
years and just laid them down and to this day I have never
even had the desire to pick them back up.

I've always regretted the times when I didn't listen to may gut.
This may be off the subject, but I've wondered about the adjustment a serviceman's wife has to make after her loved one returns home, especially the transition from being the one in control to taking a back seat. Thanks for the insight.
(Anna Speed 3:23pm July 23, 2012)
I learned to listen to my gut by ignoring it, then wishing I'd listened.
(Cheryl McEwen 3:24pm July 23, 2012)
I went to a friend's birthday party once, and met a guy.
All night I just knew in my gut that he was someone special.
I dumped the guy I was dating the very next day and started
seeing the special guy. We've been together for ten years
this September and married for five years in August. I've
learned to trust my gut instinct :-)

My gut feeling is more often when something is NOT right. And
it's usually right.
(Mary Hay 3:34pm July 23, 2012)
I JUST LOVE YOUR BOOKS. I CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN THEY ARE SO
GOOD. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE AUTHOR OF ALL TIME. I WOULD LOVE
TO WIN THIS CONTEST.

I have gut feeling about a person when I first meet them--whether they are a good person or not type feelings---and they are almost always right.
(Sue Farrell 3:56pm July 23, 2012)
Gut feelings have kept me and my family safe for years! If I
have a gut feeling about anything, my hubby respects that
and doesn't ask questions, he just goes with it. Good thing
my gut feeling about him was right :)

Listening to my gut got me quitting work when my boys were six and spending the next 10 years with them as a full time mom. Don't regret one second of that time and all the magic moments it gave me.
(Cathy MacDonald 4:01pm July 23, 2012)
Chelsea, I hope that all worked out for you. Boy, that's gutsy, lol, but I guess better than leaving them blank. :)
(Rachel Firasek 4:04pm July 23, 2012)
That's nice. I couldn't agree more than romance is in working together to make mud into consensual sculptures. My husband and I did two years apart when I was appointed to a church 375 miles from him-- and getting back to living together was hard, hard, hard.
(Mary Ann Dimand 4:07pm July 23, 2012)
I just knew it was right as soon as I met my partner, and we've been together 10 years!
(Diane Pollock 4:08pm July 23, 2012)
Anne, I think a lot of people have this feeling when things are wrong, lol. It's listening when it's right that takes a lot more work.
(Rachel Firasek 4:12pm July 23, 2012)
After being married for 45 years, I feel I can say with authority that every
minute together is precious. Often times, couples agree to do things to make
extra money that takes more of a toll on their relationship and marriage than
that extra money is worth.
When I first met my wonderful husband, I knew he was the one. It didn't take
many dates for me to firm that up in my mind. Of course, guys are slower
coming to that conclusion. He fought it a bit at first. As he is four years older
than I am, he kept saying I was too young for him. I just smiled and when he
finally accepted that I wasn't going to be deterred, he finally proposed. :-)
(Connie Fischer 4:14pm July 23, 2012)
you have to learn to listen to that feeling....
(Debbi Shaw 4:34pm July 23, 2012)
Your story brought tears to my eyes, Rachel. I can relate to how you were feeling. Many years ago, I went through this when my hubby was away in boot camp and all the loneliness I was feeling. We had many great years together, but have sinced divorced after 25 years. I've experienced the gut feeling instinct many times and have always been right. It's resulted in good outcomes for me!
(Linda Luinstra 4:36pm July 23, 2012)
I don't know how people do it and I think you are incredibly strong. My husband grew up in a Navy family with his dad being gone for 8 months at a time. I've heard stories of how hard it was for his mom and the kids themselves and I honestly think I wouldn't have it in be to be that strong. My husband has been gone for one week at the most and I thought it was horrible :) I usually go on my instincts and my strongest one brought me to my husband and at just 18, the moment I saw him I knew my life had truly begun. I can't imagine what my life would be like if the things that brought us together never happened.

Leaving my job to take care of my parents.
(Mary C 5:21pm July 23, 2012)
Cheryl, those hard lessons sometimes teach us the most. :)
(Rachel Firasek 5:21pm July 23, 2012)
I know just what you mean about the separation. Military families find out
early on. My husband was shipped out 5 weeks after we got married. I
discovered I was pregnant a month or so later, and lost the baby 3 months
after that. Hard when you barely feel married and he is in Vietnam. There
were more separations over the years, but that first one was the hardest.
When B-52s started bombing Hanoi and getting shot down, I was in Florida
with his mom and our 4 month old daughter. With no way to find out if he
was OK, we sat and waited. That day, and everyday afterwards during that
time, he would call to tell us he was OK and not on one of the crews lost. It
showed just how considerate he was and made me love him more.
You are so right about the control issue. When they are gone, you are mom
and dad, and the schedule is built around you and the kids. You find out just
how capable you are and can run things your way. When they come back,
there is that readjustment period where he is reintegrated into everyones lives
and schedules. It is now time to make decisions as a couple and not a
"single" parent. Not easy and lots of couples don't survive it. The longer and
more frequent, the more difficult the task. If you work at it, it will make you
a stronger couple. You learn to appreciate each other and relish the time
together.
(Patricia Barraclough 5:26pm July 23, 2012)
Misa, it took a lot of work, but yes, we've learned how to coexist. :) I still adore him, even when he's being a "man."
(Rachel Firasek 5:31pm July 23, 2012)
I have had feelings of things when I felt they were not right... something was off... sometimes have felt when something was truly right.
(Colleen Conklin 5:42pm July 23, 2012)
I was staying at a friends place for a few weeks and was
having dinner with them when the ladies husband took a funny
turn. The lady said "Oh my god he's having a heart attack!"
My gut feeling was he was choking so I rushed around and
gave his stomach a bear hug from behind. He spat out a piece
of steak clear across the room. So my gut instinct saved his
life. He bought me a bottle of Jack Daniels and we drunk it
the next night. So it was a very happy ending except for his
sore stomach due to my exuberant bear hug.
(Aj Burton 5:43pm July 23, 2012)
Ah, Katee, sorry for the tears! :) Not really, those are beautiful words to any authors ears. Even on a blog. :) Especially on a blog.
(Rachel Firasek 5:43pm July 23, 2012)
Teresa, that's awesome. Who knows what you may be preventing by listening to your instincts. :)
(Rachel Firasek 5:44pm July 23, 2012)
Taking a break to hit the drive home, but I'll be back in a bit to finish with replies. You guys have been great. Keep those comments coming!
(Rachel Firasek 5:48pm July 23, 2012)
I had a gut feeling that my husband was going to be in an accident . I tried to get him to stay home . I hid his shoes,car keys,and also turned off his alarm clock. He still went to work and was in a hit-and-run . It took years for him to recover. Trust your gut feels.
(Deb Pelletier 6:41pm July 23, 2012)
No, I haven't had moments like that, but then again I'm the nervous type with anxiety so I can't trust my instincts. I do remember reading an article in a magazine about women's intuition or listening to your instinct and one of the stories was about a mother whose child was sick and the doctors told her not to worry. She took him to the emergency room later, maybe in the middle of the night, and they found out what was wrong. Her instinct that something was wrong had been right after all.
I'd love to win an Amazon gift card.
(Michelle Fidler 6:43pm July 23, 2012)
I have always taught my children to follow thier "gut". When in doubt that feeling never lies. If it's telling you to run..run, if it's telling you to take a chance you should. I found whenever I ignored my gut instinct I was always looking back thinking I should have listened. I never listened to it and looked back and thought I should have ignored it. I like your post, it has me thinking of some "little things" myself. :)
(Patti Paonessa 7:10pm July 23, 2012)
My gut has never steered me wrong. it has always helped me to make up mind in life. I went to college because i wanted to be a writer and writing was my calling. Then i decided to make manga, digital programming, digital imagarary. In short i wanted to put in the dialouge to the charaters that i create and give them life. I love to write fiction and fantasy is another personal favorite that my gut instinct tells me is the path that i should take.
(Anthonia Sharp 7:36pm July 23, 2012)
I turned down a job when it didn't feel right. I felt foolish because it seemed like a great job, but something felt off. However, it felt right to turn it down. A few months later, the place where I would have worked was hit by a devastating tornado and many were killed. Years later I found out that the person I would have reported to was not a nice person, so that reaffirmed my decision. Thus, my decision to follow my instinct and turn down the job was right.
(Michelle Dry 7:41pm July 23, 2012)
Wow, Rachel. My eyes watered up reading your story. My husband has always
been with me. I couldn't imagine a day without him coming home. The idea
itself breaks my heart. It took an extraordinary amount of bravery, not to
mention a rock solid emotional foundation in your marriage to do something so
brave like that.
Has my gut ever told me to do something? It told me to marry my husband after
only knowing him for months, it told me having kids with him was the right
thing to do, and it told me to start writing almost eight years after we got
married. All of the above were truly gut feelings I went with. I haven't regretted
any of them, and I suspect, never will.
Life is funny, isn't it? You never know what will cross your path, who you will
meet, what kinds of relationships you will form along the way, and who will
mean the most to you when it's all said and done. I couldn't be happier than I
am right now. So blessed. :*)
Also, I honestly can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my editor. You
never cease to amaze me.
(Theresa DaLayne 7:59pm July 23, 2012)
Anna S. I think in our situation it's a little different. This was a choice. He's ex-military, but this job was totally civilian. So, time was sacrificed for money, but it helped us get the oldest through her last days of high school and into a good college. So, we feel like it was worth it. I don't think he even realizes how truly difficult his return home was for me and for the first month, I had a mantra of "What the heck did we do to our marriage." Things are different, better in some ways and in others not so much.
He was my everything before he left and now I have my own sense of self. That was the biggest adjustment, but I'm proud of me and I think in his own way he is too. He used to always say that I should have my own friends, and now I have hundreds--maybe thousands. They say be careful what you wish for, huh? :)
(Rachel Firasek 8:09pm July 23, 2012)
Buffy, OMG! I dumped a bf for my hubby. LOL! Small world. Best break up I ever had. :)
(Rachel Firasek 8:10pm July 23, 2012)
Mary, listen to that gut. I have argued with above hubby numerous times when I knew something was wrong--big glass half empty over here--and he's all--Mr. Positive if not slightly naive. I'm usually right, but sometimes we listen too late.
(Rachel Firasek 8:13pm July 23, 2012)
Shelly. You just made my night. Seriously, *wipes tears* Thank you! :)
(Rachel Firasek 8:14pm July 23, 2012)
Sue, me too. My hubby gets mad at me for that. Says I'm too judgmental, but I still listen to my gut.
(Rachel Firasek 8:14pm July 23, 2012)
Shawnee, *waves* You make me giggle. :)
(Rachel Firasek 8:16pm July 23, 2012)
Cathy, I envy you. I would have probably drove the family crazy if I'd stayed home, but I do miss a lot of those moments.
(Rachel Firasek 8:17pm July 23, 2012)
My gut told me to quit a going nowhere job and go back to school. I was then able to get a job as a legal assistant.
(Wilma Frana 8:18pm July 23, 2012)
Mary Ann, I love your analogy. We have definite mud when he came home. True love is worth the work.
(Rachel Firasek 8:19pm July 23, 2012)
Diane, congratulations! Love that lasts is beautiful. Love that you shared. Thank you!
(Rachel Firasek 8:20pm July 23, 2012)
Connie, you are so right. My hubby is nine years older than me,and for that I'm grateful. I shutter to think of what my life would be like if I wasn't with a man strong enough to tell me no. I used to eat up the boys my age.
(Rachel Firasek 8:21pm July 23, 2012)
Debbi, absolutely!
(Rachel Firasek 8:23pm July 23, 2012)
Linda, I'm very sorry about the divorce, but so glad that you got to experience that kind of love and held on to it for so long. Thank you for sharing!
(Rachel Firasek 8:24pm July 23, 2012)
Jolene, I used to think the same thing, but...:) He still travels on occasion for work, but they are small trips. I still sleep in the middle of the bed when he's gone, cradling his pillow. I still wake up on his side of the bed. It never gets better.
(Rachel Firasek 8:27pm July 23, 2012)
relying on your guts is helpful and encouraging. Plus it is all part of life and you should use it every chance that you can get because i do and it gives me the strength to endore.
(Anthonia Sharp 8:27pm July 23, 2012)
Mary, that is so honorable. Thank you for sharing.
(Rachel Firasek 8:27pm July 23, 2012)
Patricia, absolutely. I'm sorry for your loss and having to go through that apart. I'm sure it was even harder on him. There's a sense of utter helplessness that men go through when they can't control something.
My husband's mother passed one month after he shipped out. She'd been sick, and I was taking care of her with the help of my sister-in-law. Even though we knew it was coming, I don't think we were ready for the guilt.
I think privately he still deals with that. We are stronger now. We talk about things that we'd have skimmed over before---the really hard issues. I'm okay with telling him things I don't like that he does, and he's okay with giving it back now. We know that we've stood against time and won, so the small battles don't really mean as much.
Thank you for your story!
(Rachel Firasek 8:32pm July 23, 2012)
Colleen, I think it takes practice to trust those instincts.
(Rachel Firasek 8:32pm July 23, 2012)
For most of my life, I've felt like Chicken Little. I've come up with things in my gut that I knew were the right things, but they fell on deaf ears, and things didn't go exactly as planned in my life. Now it seems that I've actually found my voice, so to speak, and people that matter are actually listening to what I have to say. My life has actually started to take an uptick, and I couldn't be happier!! It would take a book to write all of the bad things that I've gone through, but things are starting to look up, and even though I have a ways to go yet, I'm making a toe-hold.
(Peggy Roberson 8:34pm July 23, 2012)
AJ, my hero. Fantastic story. Thank goodness you were there. Who knows what the ladies would have done. :)
(Rachel Firasek 8:36pm July 23, 2012)
Wow, Deb, amazing. I'm sorry that he had to go through that. Does he listen to you now? I bet that's a big yes.
(Rachel Firasek 8:48pm July 23, 2012)
Michelle, nerves are half of instinct, I think. I've often not listened to a doctor or two in respect to my children, and I've never been wrong, yet.
(Rachel Firasek 8:49pm July 23, 2012)
Ah, Patti, I'm glad. :) Thanks for coming by.
(Rachel Firasek 8:54pm July 23, 2012)
Michelle, so glad you turned down that job. OMG. That wasn't just instinct, that was something bigger. So glad you're still with us and safe.
(Rachel Firasek 8:56pm July 23, 2012)
Theresa M, I'm here to amaze. :) You guys seem so genuinely happy. I'm very glad I get to know you. Your book is going to rock the YA world. Hard!
(Rachel Firasek 9:03pm July 23, 2012)
Wilma, so glad for you. Gah, going back to school scared the dickens out of me. Congrats!
(Rachel Firasek 9:04pm July 23, 2012)
Peggy, I'll hold your hand. I met my first true bestie a few years back and when we were going through our lives, she stopped me. "Has that *&&* really happened to you." I know, exactly what you mean. I'm so glad you're finding your light. Everyone deserves one.
(Rachel Firasek 9:07pm July 23, 2012)
When my son was born, I called my boss to set my date to return to work. When I opened my mouth I heard myself say "I quit". I slapped my hand over my mouth. I couldn't believe I said that but I knew in my gut that it was what I was supposed to do. I have never regretted that decision.
(Jennifer Beyer 9:10pm July 23, 2012)
Hubby and I met when we were in Junior High School, but then for years we led very different lives. Eventually we got together and married, but then his service responsibilities caused a separation again. So I do understand the effects of separations. I do believe that absense can make the heart grow fonder, for you realize the sadness of separation from someone you love.
(Gladys Paradowski 9:18pm July 23, 2012)
When my hubby and I first moved together we had a home invasion and
he was shot 4 times. He almost died. I had to watch him go through
surgery after surgery. Watching him fight to live inspired me to start living
the life I wanted (writing and getting published) I also knew I could never
leave his side after that. He almost died protecting me, I would stand by
his side and help him live.
(Milly Taiden 9:29pm July 23, 2012)
Wow, Jennifer. Talk about Freudian slip. I bet you've loved every minute.
(Rachel Firasek 9:34pm July 23, 2012)
Gladys, it sounds like you truly understand the ups and down. Thank you so much for sharing.
(Rachel Firasek 9:36pm July 23, 2012)
Oh my, Milly. This takes it to a whole knew level. I'm in awe. Wow, inspiration from something so horrible. I'm so glad you guys are enjoying your second chance.
(Rachel Firasek 9:38pm July 23, 2012)
I always follow my gut its never steered me wrong ,the few times in my life when I was much younger and didnt listen I was always sorry I didnt so I learned to always rely on it .Thank you for sharing with us today I realy enjoyed reading your post .Have a wonderful week.
(Wanda Flanagan 10:14pm July 23, 2012)
I always go by my gut instinct. Thanks for giving me a chance to win your book.
(Linda Hall 10:55pm July 23, 2012)
I follow my instincts more & more. I wish I had done earlier in life.
(Mary Preston 10:56pm July 23, 2012)
Going with gut instinct is actually something that I have had to learn to do. For much of my life I over thought everything and it led me astray.
(G. Bisbjerg 10:58pm July 23, 2012)
Wanda, you too! I almost never ignore my instincts--but I learned from when I did, lol.
(Rachel Firasek 11:36pm July 23, 2012)
Linda and Mary, thanks for stopping by! I think when we're young we know too much--it's when we get older that we finally realize we don't. :P
(Rachel Firasek 11:38pm July 23, 2012)
G. I'm glad you learned. We have those visceral reactions for a reason. It's almost otherworldly or supernatural, but it's ours and we have to listen. :) Thanks for stopping by!
(Rachel Firasek 11:39pm July 23, 2012)
some reason I can't remember one thing right now but I have
always believed in my gut in-stinks just hope that there
always right!LOL
(Stacey Smith 1:05am July 24, 2012)
Can't think of one just now but I do listen to my gut. However I also confer with my husband too, I can't imagine being away from him for that long but it was lovely to hear how you coped and survived it. Thank you.
(Barbara Hanson 3:44am July 24, 2012)
What great stories! I knew early on that my husband was going to be the man for me.... it just felt as though he was the best match I was ever going to find.
An earlier time was when I had been renting a house for four and a half years and my landlady told me I had a week to leave as she wanted to sell. I got a solicitor and she had to give me a month's notice. I felt that I never wanted to rent again, I just had to buy even though I was single and self employed and would find it hard to get a mortgage. 16 years on I am in my house with my mortgage mostly paid off. So my gut was right.
(Clare O'Beara 5:01am July 24, 2012)
For me it Happened as my mom passed away. Dy dad leaned over her and kissed her on her head goodbye and I felt it my calling in life. it was to show and give love to my dad. To make his days on earth the best they can be. I was born with C.P. and I often felt my parents were cheeted untell that day. On that day I learned so much about life and love. We, her family was gathered around her bed shareing stories of how she loved us. And I finly got it. the focus isnt me...its us.
(Jan Neely 6:14am July 24, 2012)
I've had MANY moments when my gut told me the right thing to do. The
most recent hs been during an extended illness I am going through. I have
always been a verbal person. Words were my things, written or spoken.
But somehow I needed to express myself, and what I am going through, in
another way right now. I suddenly new I needed to start making art, which I
have never done! I am art journaling, creating canvases and feeling more
hope and joy than I have in a long time. My gut knew that the time for
words about this illness were overand I needed to use something else to
tap into my authentic self. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and
poingent story with us, and for the chance to win the GC.
(Maureen Hayes 6:24am July 24, 2012)
There are plenty of times when I didn't pay attention to my gut instincts - duh - I need to be more attuned to them and not put off action!
(Felicia Ciaudelli 8:21am July 24, 2012)
Stacey, love your gut in-stinks. lol.
(Rachel Firasek 9:34am July 24, 2012)
Barbara, thank you! It was a battle, but we're stronger from it. :)
(Rachel Firasek 9:45am July 24, 2012)
Clare, that is a great time to trust your instincts, and I'm so glad they worked out for you!
(Rachel Firasek 9:46am July 24, 2012)
I have learned to listen to that gut feeling.
(Rita Wray 9:58am July 24, 2012)
I had a hard decision to make several years ago when I quit my job...a hard decision, but the right one for the family.

It felt completely right when I changed schools after 2o years of teaching in the same one. I never had any doubts that going to a brand new school was the right thing to do.

I listened to my gut when it told me that the man who had just
walked into my parents pub was the one for me. We've been
married 35 years now and I've never regretted listening :D

I knew my husband as a kid growing up. We went to the same school, same church, but I wasn't interested then because he was younger than me. A year, but still to a teenager, younger was younger! LOL I met him again many years later. He asked me on a date and I accepted. The night of our first date I wore blue jeans, black cowboy boots, a white shirt with a red vest. He picked me up and he was wearing blue jeans, black cowboy boots and a red shirt! We went to the restaurant and I ordered the petite prime rib, med-rare and he ordered the large cut med-rare. We laughed and the waitress asked if it was our 25th wedding anniversary, we laughed and told her no, it was our first date! She couldn't believe it. I knew then he was the one! We've been together now for 10 years and still laugh about that first date. Romance for us is the subtle way of being natural with each other and feeling each others thoughts and feeling without even realizing it!

Hmm...well, I think it was when this author I knew from around the web stalked me and asked if she could be my editor.... :D

The day I met Chris. I knew he was the one.

I ALWAYS listen to my gut - it's rarely wrong. It definitely comes in handy at work - who to trust when they walk through my door and who not to...

I knew the moment I met my husband that I was going to marry him, and my response that that certainty was definitely more 'Oh sh!t' than 'Oh joy!' He was a divorced single dad with 2 kids living in Arkansas. I was a single city girl with an awesome career, loving family, and close-knit circle of friends...in Chicago. Still, I did it. I up and moved to the South where I started my career over from scratch, jumped into the parental deep-end with a ready made family, and learned to rely on just one man for the daily support and encouragement I needed to chase my dreams. Totally worth the risk.

I met my husband at a wedding. He was Best Man and I was Maid-of-Honor. I was dating someone else at the time, and just wanted to be friends with him. One night about a week after we met, he took me to his family's home for a dinner. His parents told me to call them mom and dad. That was my oh-shit moment. Another one was when my dad told me that since our dog liked him, I had permission to marry him if he asked me some day. Needless to say, we did get married and have been married for almost 39 years now.
