Got too much to do No one but me ever does Anything 'round here All the papers are Piled here upon my desk I'll never be done! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I totally agree for the most part. Your comparison to skydiving is right on. I WOULD discourage someone from marrying the person they just met three weeks ago (although my parents were engaged in three weeks, they are the MAJOR exception to the rule). However, if they've been in a commited relationship for several months or years, power to them if they think they can make a marriage work; it's their business, not mine! Yes, life does throw its curve balls at you, but the marriage vows say "for better or worse, till death do us part". There are a few exceptions to this rule as well, but not "I've fallen out of love with you" or that sort of cop-out. Why? Because the only reasons you would "fall out of love" with someone is because you either never truly loved them to begin with or because you didn't work at your marriage. Marriage is not an institution that can be taken lightly. When you take your vows, you are agreeing to work at keeping the fire alive. If you don't do that, you've already broken those vows. Of course marriage should never be taken lightly. I think that is the first point I made. No one should go into it with the feeling of "there's always divorce". That's the point I'm trying to make. If you have serious doubts, by all means, don't get married. If you have some doubts, but they aren't serious, don't be afraid. You could be missing out on something wonderful. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

So this is all it is to you the material aspect of it? I think we are on the same boat here, I lost it all, yet in a future, I visualize myself growing old with a woman whom I will care for for the rest of my days. Most likely I will request a pre-nup, just to keep what I currently have for my daughter, yet it does not mean you can not make things anew, and try to move on from that point on together. The sad part it is that you could be willing to be involved in superficial interactions with your GF or whatever for the rest of your days. That is not something I look forward to......... Blue ones, my friend, and hope you find peace within yourself I agree with you 100%; in fact, that's something that I keep trying to explain to a guy I know who is divorced; just because you've had one bad experience doesn't mean that all future experiences will be the same. Sort of the "not everyone is the same as your ex" talk. Sometimes people who have gone through a bad or messy divorce forget that all people have different personalities and perhaps won't act like the last person they were in a relationship with. I think it's always worth giving it a try... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Wow, that's insane. Six months? In Texas, it's something like 7 years. Still, I think that last statement is a bad attitude toward marriage. Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean it's a bad idea, and it doesn't mean anyone should discourage someone else. BadDog--I think that's a bad way to look at it. Imagine you meet the person of your dreams, and you tell them about this idea. When you tell her, she is devastated because she wanted to get married, and she says that your relationship has come so far that, if you don't want to marry her, she doesn't want to stick around (some women are like that, and it has nothing to do with money--it's the symbol of your commitment). What are you going to do then? Are you going to say, "Honey, I love you, but I refuse to pacify the government by marrying you, so it was nice knowing you"? I don't think you would...and if you would, then that's pretty cold... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Marriage phobia comes from the high divorce rate, the fear of broken hearts, and the fear of the legal battle if and when it ends. The problem is, the divorce rate is so high now because few people go into marriage with the idea of "for better or for worse". Far more people go into marriage with the "there's always divorce" idea, and so they don't try to make it work, and a lot of people get married without being mature enough to do so. I personally believe in marriage; my parents and their best friends both just celebrated 26 years, my aunt and uncle just celebrated 33, and I know some older couples who are somewhere between 40 and 50 years running. The idea is that it's possible, and it doesn't have to be hard to stay together, if you're willing to accept that there will be times when it's not easy. Deuce, I commend you, and I'm sure your wife is very happy, as are you. Keep going strong, and good luck with what the future holds! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Just glad it's Friday Cannot wait for Saturday Going to sleep in! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Some women would marry a lizzard for money. I think you're right. Have you seen the way women swoon over the gecko in the Geico commercials? He must have money, because he's just not attractive! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Well endowed? All I know is that he's supposed to be a really cool guy and a lot of fun to be around. I've also heard stories about him going to bars and buying round after round for all the women hanging all over him. So fame and money help, and he's got them both. He probably had his pick of a thousand girls. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

So, when coming to work, go by the phone clock; this means you can be a few minutes later. When leaving, go by your laptop clock, so you can leave a couple of minutes early! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Nope. I get "page cannot be displayed" for all of them. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Nope...not for me. Filtered due to category "tasteless". Sucks the big one, you know? Your curiosity is just peaked by seeing that it's filtered! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Great ideas...I'll keep those in mind!!! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

it's all about the codec's.. try downloading the codec pac from skydivingmocies.com and that should help alot!!! Download? I can't download unless I shut down my computer and boot back up, then log on as an administrator... I guess it's a good thing I look over my boss's shoulder a lot, huh?! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

We use Websense, same damn thing. I can't go to anything that says "game" or "sport" or "religion"... More than half of the links posted here are filtered due to "sex" or "adult content", and I can't play any of the movies, either! However, I can listen to the movies, which is weird; I should be able to get the picture... Anyway, I feel your pain, and it REALLY sucks! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I think that eccentric is a word that some crazy guy with a lot of money paid Webster to add to the dictionary... 1ec·cen·tric a : deviating from an established or usual pattern or style b : deviating from conventional or accepted usage or conduct especially in odd or whimsical ways 1cra·zy 1 a : full of cracks or flaws : UNSOUND b : CROOKED, ASKEW 2 a : MAD, INSANE b (1) : IMPRACTICAL (2) : ERRATIC c : being out of the ordinary : UNUSUAL Definitions taken from the Miriam-Webster Dictionary Can you tell a difference, besides the fact that eccentric sounds more pleasant? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Sort of...we troubleshoot electrical products, which means a lot of people who claim to be electricians call not knowing what they're doing! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

When I was in high school, my best friend left a suicide note in my locker, and I didn't think twice about taking it to the counselor to get him professional help. I'd already lost one friend because no one took him seriously. Depression is a serious issue, and it's good to know that people out there realize that. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Me too... My pet peeve is stupid people! That's why I love Bill Engvell's "Here's Your Sign" routine! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try smiling for 20 minutes a day in the mirror!!!!!!!!!!!! People spend HOURS being depressed why can't they give themselves 20 minutes a day? Rhino Might work, might not. Until you're in the situation, don't knock other people. It's rude. I agree that medication is not the solution to everything. My doctor gave me pills for depression. I took them for a month, decided I didn't like the way I felt, and stopped. The issue with that is that it threw the chemicals way off balance, and for about 2 weeks, I had to readjust, and it was a really bad couple of weeks. Getting off medication requires more than looking at yourself in a damn mirror. This may be helpful, but it's not the solution. Anyway, not saying that the idea is stupid; I'm sure it's good therapy. That, again, doesn't make it a solution. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Thus the statement 'we aren't superheroes'--however, we do save our own lives every time we jump out of a plane. That ought to count for something... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Depression is fairly complex and can't necessarily be 'cured' by saying 'do something fun and take your mind off it'. I also didn't say it was a cure; I said it was good therapy. Therapy is not really a cure either--it's just something that helps you deal with a serious problem. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Yeah, I had that kind of arrogance when I had 8 jumps too... Guess next we'll be hearing that all non-skydivers are a waste of space I think you misunderstand me. I'm not putting down whuffos in any way. I said in many ways skydivers are better, not in every way. In many ways, whuffos are better. And skydivers are CERTAINLY different; that's not saying anything bad at all. Please don't jump on me without reading carefully what I've said; sometimes I don't use the right words, but the meaning is there if you pay attention. I happen to love my whuffo friends--they are all a lot of fun, and I wouldn't ever give them up or call them a waste of space. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

when the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go... haha! Great song! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I don't think being skydivers makes us in any way different or 'better'. I disagree. I think we are different, and in a lot of ways, we are 'better'. However, that does not make us superheroes and it doesn't make us immune to depression. It does, however, give us a fun pastime that can take our mind off that depression temporarily, and that's the best therapy there is! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

That sucks, and I feel your pain. I'll be pointing the mouse at something, ready to click, and my eyes will droop and my head will drop forward, and when I look up, I don't know what I've clicked on, but it's not what I wanted. There's only one cure for single life, and even that can keep you up late at night (or get you up early in the morning)! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
