February 13, 2000: March 1, 2000: June 23, 2000: Jim says to Bob, "Please introduce me to Joan. I want to meet her because I know that she is the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with." Bob does so. Jim is so happy that he gives Bob a gold wristwatch and says to him, "I want you to have this. Thanks for being my friend. I want you to wear this watch to my wedding some day." Joan brings Jim home to meet her mother. When the evening is over, Jim gives Joan's mother an expensive family Bible. Jim loans Joan $1,000 to pay a medical bill of Joan's youngest brother, giving her one year to pay back the loan without interest.
