I think most states recognize marriages and divorces performed in other states. Well, the heterosexual marriages anyway.
there's a concept called Full Faith and Credit, where states agree to recognize contracts from other states, and marriage is considered a contract. It's why you don't have to get married in a new state if you move.
Part of the issue with civil unions as opposed to marriage is that many laws are written with "marriage" as a term of art. If you are not "married", you may not have the particular right that is afforded to someone with that particular legal status.
I'm seriously contemplating skipping lunch today. I had a big breakfast at 8:00, and my stomach isn't growling and is also feeling a bit queasy for some reason, so I don't know if I want to eat anything anyway.
Yeah, eating when hungry and not eating when not hungry is good- figuring out what your body wants is tough business. Sometimes it wants ice cream, sometime juice, sometimes,... nothing.
Yay for bike-riding Sara!
Boo for anger-making family members for Cash! I think your plan is more than fair to them.
I have just emptied out the house (DH was working on my computer all morning) so yay for getting a chance to sit down and write.
I am hungry and I ate lunch three hours ago.
Oh, I saw a cool t-shirt the other day - it said:
Meat is murder.
Tasty, tasty murder.
Well, I couldn't read the whole thing, but I think the first word of line two was "Tasty."

Or was it in Bitches?
Yeah, that's a Threadless shirt.
P-C, did you see my edit with this link?

That was you talking about something similar, right?
For those who

Ha, I was talking about every picture of you being of when you were younger. It's a Mitch Hedberg joke.

And without DOMA, that would include your gay-married, correct?
