The little things (For married people)

So we are discriminating against other nationalities now.

Uh huh.. how'd you know?! duhhhhhh... I was just playing along...

of course not!

[TheWife]

I hope you really weren't taking offense to that. I'd love to see a list of all the things we have different names for. I am always curious about it.

My family has a long proud British history - bad teeth ( well not anymore - I have a Socal smile), simple food (but damn tasty), beating the Germans at a variety of things (mostly football and war), making fun of the Argies (you can not forget that), etc. I do not appreciate you making fun of our toilet rolls, or bed linen. I have had great pleasure with both and they have served me well. Next time you are in my country try our toilet roll (not the hotel stuff, that is cheap- go to Tesco's and by Andrews) and you will be surprised how good it is. Heck try more of our stuff - chocolate, beer, women - OK well only some of the women.

[TheWife]

LOL. [sarcasm]And in MY country we call it toilet PAPER [/sarcasm] HAHA!

That came from toilet roll and sand paper - toilet paper

Yeah, I didn't mean the R rated stuff! Geez.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, the R-rated stuff doesn't go over well in Utah.... (Well, actually, it does, but everyone must feign offense.)

[TheWife]

Hey we can do R rated stuff in the bedroom. Geez what do you think-we just have sex only when we want to reproduce?? Lol.

Hey, I went out with a BYU chick for a short while...I know how it is!

[TheWife]

Wow you big rebel you. Lol. She wasn't "the one" huh?

[aloft]

More like Ms. Right Now. I've had a few other girlfriends who were Mo and the pattern's the same: once they've had a taste of the forbidden fruit, they're insatiable (not that this is a bad thing ). The zoobie chick came pre-insatiable, so it was all good. Funny thing is, she ended it 'cause she didn't think I was marriage material at the time. (As a sophomore in college? Was she nuts? Um, yeah.) (Then again, many Mo chicks in Utah think they're a failure if they're not married by the time they're 21. That's crazy.)

[TheWife]

Yah, if you aren't married by 23 you may as well plan on being an old maid. Lol. I was 20, but that was after 5 years of dating so.... (and wasn't an active Mormon at the time either)

[WillNotFly4Food]

Oh man, had that conversation many a time with the ladies. They have decided to move out of state if they aren't married by 26. I guess if they aren't married by that age, and they still live around here, they never hear the end of it from family and friends. Plus, they honestly believe there is something WRONG WITH THEM if they aren't married by middle 20's. WTF woman? If she tries to rope me in before middle/late 20's I'm running the other way.

[TheWife]

Well when you are going to have 12 kids you have to get an early start ya know! Lol.

[WillNotFly4Food]

Ugh! I have a few friends with 15+ sibblings. All I can think of is how sorry I feel for their mother. I thought females hit their "peak" at 30, right?

All this talk about kids is giving me the willies. I can't afford myself right now, nevermind a rugrat.

[/ QUOTE ] Hey you don't have to love sex in order to have it to get pregnant. Lol. 15 is a lot. If you can love and care for them...well then, by all means. But if not...then give it a REST! What do you do if you win a family vacation for 4 to Disneyland? You have to leave 13/15 of your kids at home.

[aloft]

It never fails to astonish me every time I go back to SLC, seeing all the 19 year old girls wearing engagement rings. What I always found hilarious is that once they hit 21, if the ward leaders felt they weren't at imminent risk of marriage (i.e., the less attractive ones), they got sent on a church mission--which is pretty much an initiation into the old maids/spinsters club.

Once you get out of Utah though, this madness subsides. In CA, people don't get married until their late 20s/early 30s--which is as it should be; any younger than that and your personality really hasn't gelled yet, and the person you end up as may not be someone your spouse wants to spend the rest of their life with. The only reason most of these young 'un marriages in Utah stick are the voluminous numbers of kids, but even then, there were people at my high school 10 yr reunion who were already on their 3rd marriage.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, it's more because of the temple commitments then the # of kids. And some of us actually just love each other and know there is no one out there better suited for us then who we married. Imagine that.

[aloft]

Ah yes, that blind faith thing.

[Mavmb]

Bidet, it's for washing your backside! Sorry, Crocadile Dundee reference.

This thread went a wierd direction but I once wrote my then girlfriend a story about a princess's day that went from "gloom to glee". Thats what I called it. She was having a rough time and I wanted to cheer her up, so in the story all these little things happened throughout her day to make her happy. I then proceeded to do all those things in real life. I had the day off and I went to her office and delivered little gifts to her (I gave them to her co-workers so she wouldn't see me) and after work she arrived home to find an amazing seafood meal ready with wine, just like the princess in the story. Its way to long to go into all the details but my then girlfriend is my now wife

[Kristie]

WOW! I'm impressed.... that's a really great idea and obviously, it worked out well!!!

you must have a very creative mind!!

[TheWife]

That is very original! Good for you!

[pkloop]

My wife seems to think so. Honestly I hate writing

[mcooper]

Yikes. I'd hate to see that Duvet if you know what it feels like.
