My tax money at work, I suppose. Common sense is apparently not common these days.

Looks like an absence of love.
To: MadIvan
Sounds about right.

Having just done three loads of laundry and mopped the kitchen while my better half watches the umpteenth James Bond movie, I must ask why no one consulted me? I would have been happy to explain this for a tenth of the fee this group was paid. LOL!

From article:
Marriage is more damaging to a woman's well-being than a man's because it offers her fewer immediate personal benefits, says research by a Government-funded group. Is this because the divorce laws allow women to cash out just like in America? And why is it that this study used divorced couples as the study group? Did they consider conditions before marriage?

I wish I could tell you - this is all new to me. However this is a pathetic excuse for not giving me a tax cut, I should say.

What a crock.
No one suffers from marriage more than men.
The day that women don't wish for marriage is a day that we single guys will turn into a national holiday. The only thing that a man can get out of marriage is an invoice from the state on behalf of his dependants who expect lifetime support in exchange for not having to stick around and watch them grow old.
Best to avoid the whole ballgame.

That's ok. Trill has had to put up with the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen with absolutely nothing to eat to follow. grin! It's stock day!
BTW, I don't even let Trill mop in my kitchen.

My other half insists he must watch them all even though he has all the movies on DVD! Talk about being driven crazy!

I hate the James Bond marathons too, because they get in the way of the Star Trek TNG marathons.
To: Miss Marple
So what the heck does Mr. Marple do to earn his keep? Surely this is not an everyday situation. Just something you guys do on Sundays maybe?

You should hide in a corner and watch and let us guys that are practiced at dodging crockery take the lumps. ;>)

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with marriage. Wow! It doesn't have to be like that.
To: MadIvan
Well then, the Solomonic solution for men and women is to avoid marriage like the plague. Nice to see agreement between the sexes.
