"In love" looks a lot like madness at this end of the life experience spectrum
Exactly my point. And yet, I'm the odd one when saying this is not what I want.
Why, world?
Edit: spelling.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Romantic love exists, but it's not what keeps a marriage going. You have to want to stay together even when you're not in love. (Which comes and goes.)

What I would miss most with Hubby is the ongoing conversation. We can say things with partial words that it would take others 20 minutes to say. We've developed tri-lingual puns and use quotes from shows we saw 20 years ago. Our friends will say, "Ignore them, they're speaking Neilish."
Also, customers shouldn't come in and open a chat with "I have a few issues." It just makes me laugh at them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Dating is not the most helpful method for figuring out whether you want to be with someone for the long haul. A loty of of people are fun to be with at a cool restaurant or movie or while having terrific sex.
I don't think you should marry anyone unless you can enjoy doing things with them like scrubbing the bathtub while they are in the other room struggling to get the trash bag out of the can. Finding someone with whom it is fun to share the mundane is rare and to be treasured.

As always, Scrappy is wise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. I have friends like that....

Scrappy is wise, and I'm loving this discussion. But I'm still trying to figure out how Hec scaled the astral plane this morning before coffee.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I say again, Scrappy for Chief of Buffista Isle.
So? Wear to find someone to scrub the tub and then go to a show? (rhetorical question)
