I can understand your frustration as well Shiny. Before the wife and I decided to get married, we lived about 250 miles apart. I would drive to Albuquerque to see her any chance I got, but it still sucked. Some days I would leave at about 4 Saturday afternoon, then drive back home Sunday night. It was rough, but it sounds like you guys have dealt with this kind of thing before.

She lives in Brooklyn and I live in Jersey. We might as well live in Oakland and Boston. There is so much traffic and delays that on a good day it takes me 3 1/3 hours to see her. We don't date during week becuase it is impossible and takes way too long. I usually see her on Saturdays if I'm not somewhere doing a gig.It's just funny becuase on a map, it should only take about 45 minutes if I could to 65 miles an hour.
well i haven't been on because of this damn holiday...it seems my was soon to be wife was taking flowers and candies from her ex..and communicating with him to try and make me jealous well it was a big back fire on her...this holiday only brings out peoples intentions for other peoples ladies as far as i have seen...I don't think i will be celebrating this holiday ever again....but i will give my little one a card every year cause she does have my heart...glad to see some had a good one even if mine cost me my family....
Caro Noner. When we first married (1971) we lived in Chelsea Square, my family lived in Brooklyn, and my job was in Paramus, NJ--all within a 35 mile radius, but as you said, we might have lived in Bangor and they in LA. I came to HATE the Westside Highway and the BQE (has it ever been 'express'?), which my wife dubbed The Trench. Ordinary Americans--those born and raised outside the NYC metro area--will never appreciate the exquisite agony of trying to traverse those 35 miles, going 15 mph, with one's left foot going numb and paralytic on the clutch, in 2nd gear. When I got back to West 20th Street (off 9th Ave.), I had to car-sit until the alternative side of the street parking regulations changed. It cost me, man. We did it four years, which convinced the separation could not go on. I liked Jersey, even though I did not know anything about it, because we finally had our own alleyway (Brooklynese=driveway). Ciao, Prof. Melon"Ordinary Americans?"
