'Serenity'
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.
Well, I cleared up a semantic issue early on in that page, but then I got dizzy. And it reminded me of a Wikipedia article of this morning (I do work, I swear it) with the woman who was trying to get all mention of Islam off her identity card so that she could marry her Christian love. Apparently Malaysia doesn't allow inter-marriages.
People are weird.
When my brother lived with his now-wife in TX, they discovered that state's crazy common law stuff. Texas is apparently fairly loose in its definitions. From what I understand, all it takes is that you live together and represent yourselves as married. After a couple years of that, I think you gotta get a divorce to end it.

A cousin of mine said she was married by those terms in, I think, Colorado.
Needless to say she didn't bother with a divorce when she kicked him out. Those are the sorts of people you don't want to make stuff too easy for.

Next time I have a delayed flight, I'm taking my pants off, too.
I kinda want to tag this.
Laura, feel free if you wanna.
Love the Grace and Noah pictures! They're so alert and feisty!
Happy birthdays to Dana and Ellie!
Do the Dresden books follow the plots of the series episodes?
Pretty much not, brenda. Mostly the series tells its own stories. (The exception was the original pilot episodes Storm Front which was pretty close to the plot of the book Storm Front, but it was jarringly different from the series as it finally came to be. Storm Front the book is worth the read even if you've seen the episode.)
Tennessee does not have common-law marriage. For which I am very grateful. It was hard enough to get rid of the Psycho without having to officially divorce him.
I would guess that in most states, they will only grant a divorce if you married there or if one or both parties are resident.
And the Nevada deal is (or was, anyway) that the residence requirement was brief, right? I realize I'm getting this from The Women, but still.
Oooh. Creature Comforts is on.
On Creature Comforts - I love the snake laughing, with the meowing.
What's Creature Comforts?
It's an American version of a British TV series made by the same people who made Wallace & Gromit.
Come to Florida for your quickie divorce. No waiting period. Don't know about the residency thing. I did it myself for $21 for the paperwork package and about $60 filing fee. That was the easy part of the whole awful process. Divorce is tough, always.
