"So when are you getting married???"

Recently, I've been hit with this IRKSOME Q three times over two consecutive days. I'm not even engaged yet!!

Wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to answer?

Many Thanks. :)

My son says his least favorite name is Sue, wish I had known that earlier.

Reply with:

1. When you tell me how much do you weigh.
2. When you tell me how old are you.
3. When you tell me how much money do you make.

I've had success with those.

I hated that! First, the junior/senior high question was, "Where are you looking?". Then, when you are going with someone for a while, it's "when are you getting married?". Then, after you have kids, the questions stop.

Looking back, I would have liked to answer the question, "when he knocks me up!" :)

I was under the impression that free republic was a conservative board. Does that include letting homosexuals post vanity posts about their lifestyle and, to ask advice regarding said lifestyle when, that lifestyle is opposed to the conservative view?

Khepera, what are you talking about? Who is doing this? You obviously missed the point of the Vermont/Hawaii answer to the question. It was a humorus reply as a suggested answer to a question that the person doesnt like being asked. He was looking for a good reply to shut the person up and stop them from asking the question in the future.

I always used to say... "Not this weekend, I'm busy!"

When are you getting married?

Don't know but if you wanna go ahead and give me a gift in advance then I'll take cash check or money orders.

When the rabbit dies?

"When I can afford it!"

If I was wrong then please accept my apology. I sometimes make mistakes.

[Phantom Lord]

No problem. I often make mistakes when I fail to read a thread from top to bottom, skip large portions and then post on something in the middle of the thread. If I had read what preceeded it I wouldnt have made the mistake of posting something that is wrong. Not saying you did that, but I know it happens to me.

And while were at it. Read my post #30. Any suggestions?

"I usually say, "When I damn well please. When are you going to get a life so you can stop being interested in mine?"

Well said!!!
My usual retort it NONE of yer f&^*(g business!

[LibertyGirl77]

Well...when ARE you getting married? >: )

[Aggie Mama]

This is a standard nosy question that will change with time and circumstance. For instance, when dating, the question is "When are you getting engaged?" When engaged, "When are you getting married?" When married, "When are you having children?" When the first comes along, "When are you having #2?" And so on and so forth. The best response is just not to respond.

Adolf
Osama
Igor
worse yet, AlGore
Sue (for a boy)

Good start?

Being a big Metallica fan I always suggest...

Jaymz
Larz
Jayzun (though he got the boot)
Krk
Or Hetfield

My wife refuses to consider them.

I also suggest a lot of Simpson's characters names as well. Drives em nuts.

My brother told me he has a friend who went to school with twins named Lemongello and Orangello. Seems their Mom took their names from something she found in her kitchen cabinets. He swears this is a true story. You just can't top true life as a source of comedy.

[connectthedots]

That would do it.
