So, that must be McCain's secret privatization plan. Marry us all to beer heirs. not to mention that I think they call it a fixed income cause it makes me feel neutered.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So true.

Yeah, I think this is one of the subconscious reasons I have been putting off planning the wedding because I just didn't want to deal with this.

And they wonder why some parents don't bother with the legalities.

yeah, I don't blame you. Well, there's no rush at least.
Since reading of your dilemma, I've been having some swirling thoughts about marriage as a government institution that I am not sure how to express. I'd definitely be coming at it from an privileged point of view (heterosexual, able to work. And, um, married.) But is marriage really an institution that really serves society anymore, or is it a governmentally enforced vestige of patriarchy and financial transactions?
I don't know.

I already feel married. Which is the other reason why I don't feel like I am in a huge rush. I just know my mother will kill me ded if I get pregnant before making it official. I'm just really lucky that TCG has a good health plan that I can go on as soon as we're married. Otherwise, I'd be screwed.

Sometimes I'm really reminded of why Belzer used to call anyone he dated in his routines "My future ex-fiancee."(/phony cynicism) Of course, I love him tons, but it's insane to marry your hecklers. Next time I fill out a form, it would be so tempting to write, under Marital Status: Waiting For Keith Olbermann to Get Bored At The Kids' Table. But perhaps I've said too much. Again. But seriously, girlfriend is a zygote. Like if I dated her, eyebrows would raise, and I'm not(whispers) 49. But maybe he *likes* bringing crayons to restaurants.(/fake catty)

Near-death is my gift.The other day, I was so tempted to give my favorite quote on the Obama page as"When I first met you, you were like "Oh, I burned the damn muffins. Now you go into a bar and sailors come out." If all liberals were buffistas, I would have. This is one of Ted Kennedy's favorite quotes, in my profile. Now I want to hear him talk about "the Damn muffins." God help me.

I'm listening to the Moody Blues, the 1969 album about the moon shot. They were so damned hopeful back then . . .
