Do you have actual knowledge about this, or are you stating an opinion about the law? I don't have knowledge other than one anecdote about a friend in Georgia who was sued and lost after he broke off an engagement with a woman - the details of that case, however, elude me, and as we know, one anecdote does not a…

I'm not sure what case law you're looking at, but I don't think the facts support your assertion here.

If you're using a family heirloom as an engagement present, you had better be damn sure that you're giving it to someone who deserves it and you want to be with. The fact that it's an heirloom, however, does not change the nature of the dilemma. She didn't end the engagement, she keeps the ring. Full stop. I'd…

My Mom sold hers and went to France with me when she got divorced. (I paid my own way, however. No recompense for my emotional drainage - LOL.)

Yeah... but he broke the engagement, she really isn't obligated to give the ring back (no matter how awful she is). I totally feel for your friend though, but ultimately, the ring, and everything else, are just things. He's way better off, but I hope he didn't recycle the ring to his wife.

THIS would probably terrify them:

Ooo, I HATE getting that wrong - I shifted thoughts as I wrote that sentence... anyway... The US certainly has a problem, but to state that guns are "an American need" is to demonstrate a limited understanding of my country and the people here - even if you do live just up north. Canadians have plenty of guns, too,…

It's such an American need.

Well, you never did tell us how old your little girl is. But a child understands death fairly early, so don't wait too long. This kid is five.

For some reason I wanted to add the word "cheese" to the end of this headline. "Theory" would also be acceptably fun.

That's a story I'd love to read more about.

"Younger than she" is techinically correct. Judging someone on this most common mistake is borderline crazy.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't suggest another cabbie-flirting, double-breakfast eating rando. But with the right girl (or guy - or yourself for that matter), you're bound to explore an exciting new level of sexual pleasure. Don't forget to order the tossed salad!

You're a giver!

So much he could have done and didn't. And I was like 26. Not at all demanding.

Theatre by nature is "reductionist and exclusive." Why can there be no discussion or critique of the play as part of obtaining the rights? That seems unrealistic. Nice that they are instead using student monolgues to offer a similar experience.

Single-handedly taking on depression! Good for her.

I do hope you'll re-consider the finger up the ass.

You learned a lesson early that I didn't learn until well into my late 20s.
