OMG how old is she!? she looks so good! isn't she like 40?

haha I read this as Michelle Bachmann and was like WHAT!?

haha! we really wanted to but the kid was nowhere near a nap. And if we closed the bedroom door he would suddenly become interested in playing in the room. So we quietly moved to the walk in closet. It was fun. But I DEFINITELY need to clean that floor!

Whatever, they can be so nice and good on energy savings!

The first paragraph though is pretty good. I mean, marry someone that wants to do something awesome with life (whatever it is, it doesn't have to be climbing corporate ladder) and how cares to raise children well and is not afraid to get help from either books, counselors, etc.

Those dresses though! pretty fantastic!

That would be really cute! counting on the fact that both people are more than ok with marrying each other.

I think it depends where you live. especially because now you can buy houses with pretty much nothing down (just money for the expenses of processing). We bought a house with $2500.

That would be an awesome engagement gift! here's a note for an investment.

I am currently wearing a dainty gold wedding band that I bought from etsy for $10. I love it. I first bought it because my wedding ring didn't fit while pregnant. And I just kept the gold band.

I would say "don't worry" because someone that has those ambitions will normally have other traits that you may not find attractive. Very rarely does someone sports personality traits that are very random and don't fit with the rest.

Hey you know what? if my husband would've bought even a mobile home and repaired it all pretty and then use that as a proposal I would be totally into it! specially because that would mean no house payment (or a tiny one) for as long as we lived there.

I was floored at how easily people in my town are carrying $15-30K rings. REALLY!??!?

I can see how, historically, a nice engagement present was a sign of how well he could take care of you (once the dowry went out of fashion).

OMG!

I remember when I used to be amazed by how beautiful women can be. The potential for strength and vulnerability and the entire range of emotions and mental abilities. The different bodies. All of that.

It used to be that best sex was after we figured out how to constructively talk about all the crazy emotions or after a fight. The other night we finally watched 300 and I didn't say this but I was so turned on and I wasn't sure why. Whatever. When we got home the sex really was just for fun and not so much for…

I'm 26. And yes, thanks for saying this. As I found my way through everything I realized that sex isn't just sex. It's a lot of putting on a costume and trying to burst out of the "am I going to look ridiculous if I do this dance in front of him? just reeeeally pretend to be confident!! go!"

I love this thread because it touches on this very important (to me) topic.

ok, I have nothing excellent to add besides the point that my FAVORITE line is "Yonce all on his mouth like a liquor."
