Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Bf's parents started dating when she was 14 and he was 16. Got married when she was just 18 and she had their first kid at 19. Still together, but I think they're the only couple I know who got together that young and are still together.
There are people who will write fetching ebay descriptions for a nominal fee? Ye GAWDs I need this service. I've got the photos, and know html and I'm not afraid to use it!
But I keep getting stuck on the words.
I've explored the 'assistants' route and a bit averse to giving up quite that big a chunk of the take.
Any thoughts on how much such writing would/should run?
My wicked step sister had her first born on her 18th birthday. I'm pretty sure she and her husband are still married 40 years later. (gasp...I'd never done that math before. Little M is 40? No WAY.)
My mom and dad got together when she was 15 and he was 18. I was on the way when they were 16 and 19, so they got hitched and have been together ever since.
Hastert's passive-aggressive defense of Foley, blaming everybody including George Soros, prompted this from a friend:
Secret Gay Cabal! I believe I have their second album "Mennonite Schisms", a track list:
1) Bobbin' O'Reilly (aka Teenage Waistband)
2) I Touch Myself
3) Paradise by the "Scroll Lock" Light
4) YMCA
5) Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard
6) Sweet Child of Mine
7) Theme from "Rawhide"
8) Union of the Snake
9) Turning Japanese
10) Burning Down the House
11) Don't Stand So Close to Me
12) One Night in Bangkok
13) Let's Hear it for the Boy
I was 18 when my boy was born. "Early" babies turn out pretty and smart.
My mom was pregnant at 17. Mom and Dad married when she was 18 and he was 20 and are still together after 46 years. I'm not saying those marriages don't work.
I still get creeped out by watching Coal Miner's Daughter when I remember Loretta Lynn was 13 in the beginning.
It's always a lovely triumph when couples who marry early and/or have a kid early stay together like that -- certainly not the way to bet, but it sure can and does happen.
I suppose there is a lot of biological sense to it. Younger people have more energy and are physically more suited to bearing children--can't say that hasn't crossed my mind a thousand times in the last two years.
