A good question.

I'm curious. After all that long time as a swinging single, what finally brought you to the point where you were ready to settle down and get married? Did you just finally meet the right girl?

Yes, and she snagged me! After we started going together, I continued to renew my lease for almost five more years - and she wasn't too thrilled about that. I had previously been in situations where I'd given up apartments to "shack-up", and then had to start from square one when the relationship(s) went south. My wife is different, though. She didn't want kids, wasn't crazy or over-critical, and for some reason was able to put up with my peculiarities and eccentricities. I remember going on a vacation with her, after were seeing each other for a year or so. I predicted that we wouldn't last a week in a hotel room together. I also predicted, based on my previous record, that our relationship wouldn't last 3 months. Boy, was I wrong there! :dance:

That's cool. Traveling together is a real make-or-break test of a relationship, I think. People ought to take long trips together as part of their courtships.

I was 22 when I got married and he was 26, which is just nuts now that I look back on it. That's far too young. We'd only known each other for a year and a half or so. I was finishing grad school and he was in med school. But we were terribly hot for each other, and frankly, that was the motivation--to find a way to be able to easily sleep together. Marriage seemed like the solution. If I had it to do over again, I'd have sewn more wild oats and waited to settle down till I was in my 30s. A huge percentage of young marriages involving medical professionals don't survive the years of internship and residency.

3) Each state will be worth 100 points.....the candidates for President will recieve a certain percentage based on STATE popular vote. This will keep the states in an equal playing field so the coastal states don't determine the outcome for the country.

Have you gone psycho Psycho? Shouldn't the popular vote be what counts? What you're saying is that 500K people (Wyoming population) should have as much say as 34million (California population). In other words, the votes of 33.5 million people don't mean shit. You should ban yourself for a proposterous idea

Besides, if you look at a map of the election results from 2004, it was the uneducated hillbilly masses in the middle states, those so easily swayed by firery rhetoric of Muslim invaders and the values of being a good Christian, that elected the Idiot in Chief . The coastal states didn't seem to have as much clout as you think.

No offense to the hillbilly masses intended.

Instead of being more of a congressional election it would sway more towards a senatorial election. Hell, the fine state of California has 53 Congressman while the fine state of Wyoming has 1. How much power do the coastal states need/deserve as compared to the GREAT midwest?

How much more power do we need? Looked at who's living in the White House lately? Obvioulsy California's 54 electoral votes didn't go too far

Oh, I forgot to mention - I'm married. I waited for the right person, and got hitched when I was past 40 years old. It was the smartest thing I ever did. We are THINKERS:
Two Healthy Incomes No Kids Early Retirement.

:dance:

I tried that, when I was 20's, then my 30's, then 40's. All three wives, couldn't think their way out of an inter-tube........ You lucky dog.
