Just eat your soup with soup spoon and not a regular spoon, use a steak knife to cut your steak and don't use a steak knife to eat butter your toast, and if you get a hamburger the heck with the utensilswhoa slaphead


Those soups are more like shovels. I use the teaspoon.

Marriage remains a religious aspect that the government decided to profit from by issuing paperwork and requiring blood tests in certains states. I do not remember where in the bible it says you have to pay for a piece of paper for it to be considered "marriage". Handfasting prevailed prior to "marriage certficates" throughout many countries and nations. They never retained paperwork for verification of marriage. Common law marriages recognized in many states in this country and other countries today......

IMO, as long as recognized by others or introduced as married couple no different than buying the paperwork.......


your very right, but you left out the churches too... they seem to make a profit on it also. it also seems like to me that it is a very stressful day, esp. for the bride. if it such a day of happiness, why is there so much stress on the "perfect wedding?" if 2 people are joining to be together for the rest of their lives, it supposed to a happy time, with no stress and and worries. every wedding i've been to or seen, seems to be a more stressful time than anything else.


Potlatch bar-b-que! BYOB That's my plan if I ever got married. LOL! I can wrangle a friend into making a cool wedding dress for me (and it won't be totally white ill, another friend to marry us, have it at home (definitely NOT a church) and keep it inexpensive.

Sadly, it's a goofy pipe dream.


I'd just go with jeans instead. Why get all dressed up. I say be comfortable, and have it in a campground, so you don't even to buy flowers bigsmile

If marriage isn't right for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it isn't right for others, though.


Of course it works for some folks, but when I look at the divorce rate, I think those people are rare. How many people marry, and stay together for life ? I'd love to see the pie chart on that.


I know several couples who have been together for many years. My parents, for example, have been married for 38 years.


My parents celebrated 50 years this year.


I love meeting those couples who have been together forever bigsmile

I picked up a movie from Blockbuster for my father for us to watch today.

The movie was $4.00 to rent. I gave the cashier four, one dollar bills. I received no change.

After we watched the movie, Mom tells me to look at my receipt. My receipt says that I paid the cashier $43.00 and change due to me was $39.00.surprised

The movie was "The Wolfman", btw.

Do you think that he pocketed the money? Do you think they'll catch him by the end of the month when the receipts don't add up?


I think he hit the 3 by mistake, but who knows.

this morning I was pulling into a gas station when I saw a lady in her 80s with a walker struggling trying to put Gas in her Car… so I stopped and offered my help, poor lady couldn’t even scan her card… while I was fueling for her and talking with her, In the corner of my eye I saw movement inside the car, so I looked, I saw 2 females and one male in their early 20s in the car, maybe her Grandkids, I was shocked to see that neither one of them had the decency to get t off their *** and help her.
Whatever happens to Respect and care for your elders?



Thats sad man, really sad smokin

Lets face it, people get married, and sometimes it lasts forever, sometimes it only lasts a year, or less. I've met couples that never got married, but have been together for 20 years, and longer.
What is marriage anyway ? It's an agreement between two people who love each other. Do we need paperwork for that ? I don't think so.
We have titles and receipts for our stuff, but were not talking about stuff here, were talking about emmotions. Do we need titles or receipts for our emmotions ? I don't think so. I think people should live together, and be couples, but forget the paperwork, leaving the state and the church out of it. Breaking up is rough enough without all the legal crap to complicate matters, and it only makes for more bitterness. I think that after marriage, some people start to feel trapped because of the paperwork and legal stuff. They will start dwelling on the what if's, and let it slowly destroy their relationship. From where im sitting, it appears that when people feel that either party can just gracefully bow out at any time, they tend to hold on tighter. I think sometimes, marriage is grounds for divorce.

So does that mean you will never marry me???!!grumble

Well can we at least have a party??:wink: laugh :tongue:


Hey, I might get married someday, it could happen. And sure, we can have a huge party, as long as it's at your place bigsmile


I don't feel like cleaning up the mess....lets just go riding and bar hoping..you can be my D.D. and then i'll show you my DD's!! :wink: :tongue:


Your being very naughty bigsmile


Who? Me? :angel:


Anyone missing a halo ? bigsmile

If marriage isn't right for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it isn't right for others, though.


well said


I agrree, but this isn't about me. It's about people in general, everywhere.


This is about you. You've stated what you think, so of course it's about you. Let others decide what they want to do.


No, it's not about me. I voiced my opinion about marriage, so that I can see what others think, but I am in no way suggesting anyone should change their way of thinking. I think marriage is a wonderful thing, for the right people. I also think, that if two people want to be together, they should be, married or not.
This thread is about marriage, or just living together, not me.

I would love to see if they have numbers about how many unmarried couples stay together,, and make the comparisons,,,

I think the divorce rate is reflective or a more egocentric culture where people get too involved with themself to really share ups an downs with someone else,,,,and a shallow culture where people get together more often because of sexual compatibility or physical attraction than because of any deep emotional and intellectual bonding.


I think you hit the nail right on the head with that last part, and I doubt it will ever change.
When I was a young man, I didn't even hear what girls were saying. I was way too busy checkin out their legs bigsmile
