Yep. As Dr. Laura says, “Choose wisely, treat kindly”. I’ve learned to be more kind over the years and my husband appreciates it.

Take a close look at their mother for a preview of your lovebird’s future appearance and actions. You ladies do the same and look at their fathers. My ex wife’s mother was slim, trim, good looking and smart. My ex wife was a bitch and grew to be fat, lazy, ugly, mean and dumb. Glad to be away from her.

Yeah...just look at all of those online dating write-ups where a guy is looking for a woman with “an IQ above 120”.
