Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

if i met a girl, loved her to death... i'd have no problem taking care of her. granted most of the females i've met that don't wanna work are fugly skanks. most people WANT to work. my mom quit her job for about a year and ended up getting another. she couldn't take not working. she felt unfulfilled. so i think to a certain extent attraction to a non working person probably wouldn't happen, but i wouldn't mind taking care of my wife. i think a lot of people are romanticizing marriage. you might feel different when you're in the situation.

I'm w/ Spence on this one. I'm not for the idea of straight up supporting someone, either. If I make enough to, I'm obviously working some crazy hours. Even if she only works part time, I'd like some alleviation on my work load

It's more the attitude than anything else.

Well, morning everyone. How are you all today?

who could be in a bad mood while eating chinese food?! doing very well, and you?

I'm really tired. Didn't sleep too much. ; ;

power nap?

No I have not done extensive studies. It's more the fact that over 50% of marriages in America end up in divorce with the most common reason given is for financial reasons or infedelity. I know a divorce attorney who told me that 90% of the cases she takes up are about finances. I just read an article about a small study that indicated 75% of women surveyed would not married an unemployed man. I also found out one time that a girl was willing to marry me because she believed me to be rich... Sorry for generalizing but through my experience and I guess maybe i'm wrong (definitely not saying there are no people out there that don't have a happy marriage based off of love) but even some of the early responses on here pointed towards reasons they wouldn't marry the unemployed. My brother is getting married in 2 months and I'm seeing whats happening with him...

(I tried not to use too many elipses just for you big guy ^^)

Edit: but no I'm not an expert by any means or even that terribly knowledgable on it all.

Good good.

It's not really about employed or unemployed it's about the attitude to go with it. You may love someone, but you may not see/realize how irresponsible someone is until its time to tie the not and irresponsibility isn't exactly the most attractive trait.

This goes both ways, not just for men or not just for women.

this. the question seems kinda stupid. how are you gonna throw out one condition to wether or not you would marry someone. how about this. if you were in love with someone and were with them for a really long time and they proposed would you decline simply because they were unemployed at the time? i bet the results would of been a lot different.

It's possible that if you add conditions to a question that the outcome could be very different. I would assume adding what you suggested would get to the deeper question of would feelings overwrite the need for a s/o to require employment. You also run the risk of asking people who would not know what thats like to have a long term relationship. and wouldn't be able to distinguish either way. I guess I assumed that it was not a question asked as would you marry a guy off the street if he didn't have a job more like they were being asked would you marry them man you had feelings for if he proposed without being employed at the time.

Keep in mind to that as terrible as it is to say people get board of eachother... any of those 90% of divorce cases may have been in love initally but over time it just degraded to a simple partnership because when they were in love it was simply all about the passion. As time and the real world take hold that passion weres thin to the realities of life... saying to marry for love is a fairly new concept keep in mind, historicly it wasn't very common from royalty to the common man for the pairing to be based strictly off strengthening the 2 families be it on a national scale or just to support eachother through a hard winter.

I know when I'm asked a question I base it off my own experience and answer from there.

O.o... I know how things are prioritized. Ought to after 15 years as a medical interpreter.
<grin> That is so far from the point it's almost silly. but WOW.... are ppl not seeing this..????



THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE ER BUT ME AND MY SON....
I asked everytime 20 min passed on the clock and was told that we were the only people there. If there had been than i would not have even said anything.

<grin> just wow....

God I hate naggers

They really annoy me.

Wanna meet my aunt and uncle? You'll want to rip your ears off by the end of the day

The 50% was to convey what the divorce rate in America is, it hovers around there I don't have the exact number. The 90% was a figure that a divorce atty I know says is the reason behind 90% of the cases she takes up.

spent the last 5 minutes running around freaking out.

@ Halfpint... You're missing my point. It doesn't matter if there is anyone elese there or not really. My example of him being off somewhere in another part of the hospital with another patient is just another example. If its not something that really life threatening or in dire need of attention they take their time. Might be a shitty hospital too.

If there was anyone in there with a major issue they would have been elsewhere. Odds are there was only a couple doctors and nurses on and elsewhere in privat rooms there were more serious cases that needed their attention. Also keep in mind that their duties dont end with being physically with the patent, they have to run their tests, make their patent reports and touch base on any other cases the have been engaged in.

^^^ right there with ya...but a whining nagger is worse.. especially when they are the reason you can't get done what was asked

I learned the hard way (kidney stones) the guarenteed easy way to get to the front of the ER line and get speedy service. Crawl in while dry heaving you can stop on the way a few times but dont give up and keep struggling until you get to the desk...

Also, the problem you descibe can be caused by taking too much Motrin/Advil I had that problem too.

hooty hoo! Charter guy is gone now...we're paying for 25mbps internet and we just tested at 43mbps so I'm freakin' stoked! (we were paying for 7mbps with DSL but were only getting 1.5mbps to 3mbps) AND charter 25mbps PLUS unlimited phone is CHEAPER then we were paying QWEST for 7mbps and phone that was charging us for every long distance call!

There is seriously, like, NO lag, youtube vids cache in milliseconds and pandora doesn't lag me out while I'm playing FFXI...

WIN BABY!


(sorry, I'm super happy right now...)

Fast internet for the win!
