“National Singles Week”
UnmarriedAmerica.org ^ | 9.20.05 | Various

Posted on 09/20/2005 12:56:01 PM PDT by apackof2

“National Singles Week” was started by the Buckeye Singles Council in Ohio in the 1980s to celebrate single life and recognize singles and their contributions to society. The week is now widely observed during Sept. 19-25 as “Unmarried and Single Americans Week,” an acknowledgment that many unmarried Americans do not identify with the word “single” because they are parents, have partners or are widowed.

I've started on the "dollar bill savings plan." You know, where you don't spend singles, but save them under the mattress, or wherever. I do it everyday, not just during a special week . . .

Oh, geez, I misunderstood. I guess I should have read the article.

Being single sucks.

Dating sucks.

Being in a bad relationship sucks the most.

I know, my eloquence is stunning.

NO

Being in a bad marriage sucks the most!

One advantage however small, for being single

I think being single sucks too

Actually, your simplicity is genius. Who needs eloquence when the simply spoken truth is so much better?

Nope,
you summed up degrees of suckage quite well.

Think I'm gonna buy a bottle of Sangria on the way home and hang out on the front porch....

Reveling in my lowest degree of suckette.
