See....Married People Dont know everything

"For this court to adopt a rule that the appellant suggests and remove the contractual disabilities from a minor simply because he becomes emancipated, which in most cases would be the result of marriage, would be to suggest that the married minor is somehow vested with more wisdom and maturity than his single counterpart. However, logic would not seem to dictate this result especially when today a youthful marriage is oftentimes indicative of a lack of wisdom and maturity"

Kiefer v. Fred Howe Motors

Supreme Court of Wisconsin, 1968


To all my married friends that I love, simply having a marriage license hanging on your wall does not mean that you have found all the answers. It does not mean that you were granted the right to dispense relationship advise at will, it does not make you somehow more knowledgeable about every topic ever discussed. It simply makes you married.

Thank you marketing genius who created door to door summer sales

I recently accepted a Job working with a security company so far it has been amazingly like Boiler Room. There are a bunch of twenty something guys hanging around, talking on the phones, acting really urgent and selling...something. They sell something in that movie right?

Anyways so far soooooo good. Seems to be a lot of really nice people (mostly guys) working and talking and basically hanging out all day while taking phone calls and laughing at crazy people. I have had several good friends who have met fun boys this way (the bug boys ring a bell anyone???) Maybe its the perfect place the meet a new summer crush. We shall see.

How Far Would you go for a boy?

This is a question that constantly plagues single ladies. How far are you willing to go for a boy?

For some this means changing the kind of music you listen to because he is an avid punk fan. For others this means "getting smart" because he is interested in politics of is social conscientious. For others this means giving up a weekend get away? Really....

I have a friend who was going to come up for the weekend. She wanted to spend the holiday weekend hanging out, going to concerts and what not. She was torn between staying down south, and having chance to see the boy she loves, or coming up for the weekend. She asked my advice, which was... "Call him and say, he I need to get my flowers from you, are you going to Johns party tonight?" if he is going to be there stay.

She did just that. He was going to be there, she stayed, had a good night and has seen him every night since.

The right person, the wrong time

Timing, they say its everything. Which in some cases I believe. In others I feel like it’s a cop out, a way to say “well I did all I could, but fate (timing) was against us”. Usually I am of the camp that timing is a defense used by the cowardly. Stand up and take charge of your own life, and your own fate.

I am now eating those words and ideas. I recently met an amazing guy. He is taller than I am, smart, funny, witty and intelligent. He has all these weird quirky things in common, and we could joke for hours I am pretty sure. The expiration date on this chance is long past. I wonder what would have happened had we met a year ago.

That Darn Chain Letter

Once when I was in the sixth grade, I got a chain letter. I know, I know, they are stupid and a waste of time and something junior high kids do to have notes to pass in class. BUT STILL… I got a chain letter that said if I did not pass it to ten people by the end of the day I would never fall in love. (No I am not making this up. It was passed to me by my good friend Katie Crawford.) Well as I was reading it Ms. Elliott snagged it out of my hands, read it, tore it up and tossed it then she said “ Well I guess that makes two of us.” I was shocked, and pissed! I mean we all knew Ms. Elliott was in the middle of a divorce, and had pawned her wedding ring and bought a new sapphire divorce ring that she wore on her right hand. But to scoff at my eternal happiness, and toss it into the trash so flippantly. It was traumatizing.

Now years later, I wonder does my misfortune at love have anything to do with that stupid chain letter? Probably not but if I never get married I will blame it on a chain letter from the 6th grade. Luckily according to this Quiz I will get married at the age of 25…. I better get going!

Feels just about right
Marrying at 25 feels just right for many American couples. Waiting until 25 for marriage often gives time to finish a degree in college and/or get a little comfortable with ones career. Statistically, waiting until 25 is "safer" than marriages at earlier ages.
