Stay away from men named Blaine or Stefen. I don't trust guys named Blaine or Stefen.

Oh, and stay away from women named after seasons or inanimate objects...Summer, Autumn, Cabinet, Slide Rule.

Define wise. I have been married for 26+ years and used to be a minister and did a lot of counseling.

I'd like to pretend I'm wise - but really I just fake it as I go. Although advice for others is always easier than trying to figure out your own stuff. Sigh.

If it was a dog - I'd say no - they love everyone.

But a cat might get you in there - they tend to be more picky.....

*edit* At least my dog does - to the point of embarrassment sometimes.....

What ever the cross roads is I hope you make the right choice. If not, well I guess we all learn from our mistakes.

At first I thought simply not posting in this thread would be enough to indicate my level of wisdom on these matters, but on a second thought I better make this very clear.

Do not PM me.

And polara426sh, I hate to be the one to tell you, but your cat loves the food s/he gets from you. Of course that may or may not apply to human relationships too.

Oh well, like I said, don't PM me. :)

Hehe - I'm curious like everyone else. :) I'm great at advice as long as it doesn't involve me. (actually I'm good if it involves me too, I just don't tend to follow it. :) )

Lol - seriously, feel free to pm me anytime if you feel like it. I got yo' back. ;)

My partner and I can't get legally married but we've managed to enjoy each others company for the last 17 years. We have worked to develop excellent communication skills and are genuinely happy together...if I can help, just let me know.

What is love? What is this longing in our hearts for togetherness? Is it not the sweetest flower? Does not this flower of love have the fragrant aroma of fine, fine diamonds? Does not the wind love the dirt? Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unlikened to? Are you with someone tonight? Do not question your love. Take your lover by the hand. Release the power within yourself. Your heard me, release the power. Tame the wild cosmos with a whisper. Conquer heaven with one intimate caress. That's right don't be shy. Whip out everything you got and do it in the butt. By Leon Phelps

snowy, I believe I'm too young to be wise with relationships so I don't think I have anything wise to say. I just wanted to say that reading Velocity, crtreedude, and blonduathongrl going at it to see who is more wise with relationships was quite funny. It made me laugh. I'm not laughing at your situation but at how they were trying to top the other to win your PM. Good luck.

It is pretty funny. Of course, then some really old geezer shows up being married like 75 years and says something like:

"Snowy, just get yourself in the kitchen and take them shoes off gal - that is the way to win a guy..."

It is quite possible that I am so far out of it by now that my advice I PMed might just be suspect. After all, I have one kid married off, and the other soon to be in a year. Even though I am personally not that old, my kids are. Still trying to figure out how this happened, I think it has something to do with the Theory of Relativity or something.

I mean, Chipcom is the same age as me and is still a blonde bombshell. :eek:

That's great and all, but how many TOTAL years of marriage do you have.

:p

I am not wise, so I'll just wish you good luck in determining which direction to take.

It's kind of interesting that people have cited years of marriage as a qualification to give advice on relationships. No doubt they are experts on their relationship, but does that necessarily give them a better insight on a "young" relationship?

Do not pm me. I'm still hungover from the ways that I deal with relationships (see my whatcha doin' post).

I used to be really good at breaking up relationships. Is that what you're looking for? Ah well, that was a long time ago and I am pretty washed up. I make Al Bundy look like Don Juan.

Have sex with his brother or dad. Videotape. Xmas gift.

Good luck Snowy! I hope you get all the answers you are looking for! I don't know if I would call myself wise, but I think I've been through enough and have plenty of common sense, that I'll give you my opinion if you still want it! ;)

Then you're left with option #2. Wear gloves and a hair net, assuming you have long hair. Keep things tidy and get rid of all evidence, including witnesses. Remember, they'll have motive on you. But they can't do **** unless they find the murder weapon or the body. At least that's what CSI tells me.

Actually to be more accurate it's 12.33 years. And they've all been great. Thank you very much. :p

I would have offered my services (figuratively speaking, of course) a year ago. Since then, I have every reason to doubt my "wisdom." So I'll just offer some advice from that sage of sages, Yogi Berra: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

As for explody pup's advice. I'm not sure what it'd do for you, but he'd certainly get a kick out of it. Especially if you sent him a copy of the video.:rolleyes:

Like I said, I'm not an expert, but I will go out on a limb and advise you not to opt for explody pup option #2.

I'm hardly wise...I just do what it is, when it usually blows up in my face, wipe the ashes off, smile, and try to get her to laugh at my stupidity :p

Back to seriousness, whatever it is, at the end of the day it's a eprsonal decision (listen to yourself, nobody knows you better than you do). Nothing worth doing has ever been an easy road. Life IS hardship...life without hardship gets dull since we are by nature very competitive beings (even when we are only competing with ourselves).

Either way, I hope you find the right answer Snowy. :)
