    Nah, I just get about 15 junk emails from online pharmacies every day. Shoot me your email address and I'll start forwarding them to you. :) :D

    Same here.

    btw... It is worth mentioning that what I have mentioned is based upon hindsight and that I have broken just about every rule and am a master at knowing what not to do. I did not honor my marriage and for that it did not last.

    If I am ever priviledged for another opportunity, I cannot guarantee I would have the guts to do it. This is not surprising, given recent history.

    I am very happy for IMA though.

    Because it's a LOT of work, and a LOT of difficult sacrifice. You must give a LOT of yourself. You must place the priority of others ahead of you.

    That's so true. The single life is a very good one and it can be extremely hard to leave that life behind.

    best advice i ever got was from the marriage counselor from marriage #1 (coughcoughthat's right: #1coughcough): the day you get married and likely every day leading up to it constitutes "the better" - if it hasn't, you wouldn't be getting married. but always remember you promised to love her "for better OR worse." because no matter what you do, say or think, "or worse" will rear its ugly head at some point, or something closely resembling "or worse." those caught off guard panic and run assuming the worse.

    so don't be caught off guard.

    i, myself, am a newlywed (yes, #2), and i think about that advice every single day and it's help me tremendously, as did marrying the single greatest human being ever created. still, i take no time with her for granted; i've learned to listen; i get but never stay mad; and i've yet, in our 17 months together (5 of them married), had a moment of not being completely and totally 100% comfortable with her or myself.

    as for her, i'll pass along the advice her father-in-law gave us (but really her): you can't change them (but really he meant "him"). especially at your age; we are who we are, more or less. and that takes us back full-circle to the "or worse" part of things.

    congrats and good luck - is she a cy-creeker, too?

    Take my advice. Get divorced after about 5 years, spend a year apart, then get back together. So far that is working pretty well for me. :D

    Apparently, when she asks you if she looks fat, you should say yes and tell her to lose weight, because saying anything else, like that you would appreciate her weight gain, will lead to some time in the doghouse.

    Congrats Mr. Drummer!

    1. YOU pick the wedding colors, the last thing you need is to wear a creme tux with pink accessories.

    2. There is always some dude (cousin, brother etc.) who's gonna give you the "if you hurt her, i'm gonna kick your ass speech", punch him in the stomach and then you can do to her whatever you want.

    3. No tongue when you kiss the bride, it make the organist uncomfortable.

    4. SAVE MONEY or go to someone else's wedding, "we do too".

    And finally, a little story...

    My Wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so
    we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me.

    It was her beautiful younger sister.

    My prospective sister-in-law was 22, wore very tight miniskirts, and
    generally was bra less.

    One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the
    wedding invitations.

    She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had
    feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome.

    She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got
    married and committed my life to her sister.

    Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm
    going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just
    come up and get me. "I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her
    go up stairs.

    When she reached the top she pulled off her panties and threw them down
    he stairs at me.

    I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to
    the front door.

    I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.

    Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside,all
    clapping!

    With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said,
    "We are very happy that you have passed our little test....we couldn't

    asked for better man for our daughter, "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY"

    And the moral of the story is:

    ALWAYS KEEP YOUR CONDOMS IN YOUR CAR...........

    1. Terrible idea. If you're marrying someone who can't appreciate the finer things in life, maybe you should move on...


      Don't worry about this one. In 6 years of marriage, my wife has been them all.


    The rest is spot on.

    Enjoy it. You'll have more great days than bad ones...even if the bad ones are really bad. The most important thing I've learned to do is how to end an argument quickly.
