Forgive my GWS gods, for I have sinned. I walked away from some garlic bread in the broiler for like five seconds to help my daughter with something on her homework and was met by a flaming loaf of bread. That would be a first for me.

Do it while hiking or something where she'll have absolutely no idea it's coming. Also, secretly recruit someone (her mother, a friend, whatever) to take a picture of the big moment, but only if you're pretty drat sure she'll say yes. The last thing you want is pictures to commemorate an awkward, teary "no".

If you live together, propose while she's getting ready to go out to dinner like my husband did. It's more of a surprise and she won't get mad about you making a scene in public.

The last time I was near Orlando we tried to find a place that was any good. Everyone told us to go to The Capital (or maybe Capitol) Grill (or perhaps Grille) but we couldn't get seated on short notice and went to a Ruth's Chris.

edit: years and years ago there was an Emeril Legasse restaurant right in, or next to, Universal Studios. It couldn't be that bad and Universal Studios is pretty cool.

Yeah, public proposals kind of make me go "eehhhhh" unless marriage has been talked about beforehand and you know she wants to get hitched. If she's even a little bit undecided it puts a lot of pressure on a gal.

Totally depends on the restaurant. If you had ferran adria suspend the ring inside an almond cloud floating above a watermelon mist falling over a bed of shiitake and butternut stones, it would probably be okay.

A fake kidnapping is the most romantic way to propose.

In other news I am home from my work trip and having trouble readjusting to normal eating habits. This was such a long gig that even while gone I really cut back on my "eat and drink whatever the gently caress i want when on the road" diet. But it is still hard to not devour everything in my path and spend every non work moment loaded. I am also trying to requit smoking. At least i can get decent coffee again.

I got as far as "ferran adria suspend" and pictured him coming down from the ceiling, Mission: Impossible style, to deliver the proposal.

There's a good Italian place in Celebration that serves ok food and in American sized portions actually. Also the diner in celebration is worth a visit too.

Go left at the Gaylord when you drive down from Orlando to get there (I only mention that because 'Gaylord')

Marriage is one of those things I would hope you'd only ask if you already knew the answer would be yes, regardless of where/when/how you planned on doing it.

Words of wisdom there. I'm grateful that I never went through with marrying my baby-daddy.

But seriously I'll ask my mom this weekend and see if she has any idea where they will be staying and maybe just PM you.

Is 'baby daddy' an expression solely reserved for the biological father of the child?

Is it a term of affection?

Like.. Is 'baby daddy' carrying a higher status than just a 'husband'?

# ? Sep 19, 2012 19:10

Flash Gordon Ramsay: Sep 28, 2004; Grimey Drawer

Lower, actually. Baby daddy generally refers to the man a woman no longer has a relationship with, but with whom she made a baby.

Add in a touch of disdain and a lack of any help ever and FGR has it about right.

Not that I mind. My kid is pretty cool. I would say that in not marrying him I dodged a giant, flaming cannon-ball as opposed to the proverbial bullet.

It's a play on words, one could say. Wherein literally: "the father of a baby". As well as descriptively: a father so immature so as to not share in parenting duties of their child.

# ? Sep 19, 2012 20:43

Happy Hat: Aug 11, 2008; He just wants someone to shake his corks, is that too much to ask??

Ok, Thanks!

So using that expression is showing a certain amount of disdain towards the biological father of a child, and not in a humorous manner.

So does the same apply to 'baby mama'?

Everyone starts panicking and dear old dad reaches in to grab the flaming bread.

I got the bread and in removing it, whacked the back of my hand on the top heating element.

Made a nice hiss and left a fine 3rd degree burn across the back of my hand.

Originally, yes. But now it is also used to jokingly refer to the other parent of your child, regardless of relationship.

That's not about parenting, that's about being an eejit in the kitchen. Eejit. Sounds sore though.

HH, yes, baby mama is the same, roughly, although the baby mama is usually the carer.
