    Or is it, "the grass is greener on the other side"...

    Long live Lyle....He survived Julia Roberts!

    My husband and I looked at our wedding pictures the other night and we are still pretty good...

    Newf, it's easier to get a divorce than it is to get a marriage license.....

      *...My wife has always said "we will never divorce, I'll just kill ya".and verse visea.....[We have no guns... Kinda don't believe in them...Big Surprise, Ah,???]... ...n...ps. Think "n" will be as popular as"e"???......n...

        *What ever happened to "..Winnie on the "Wonder Years?...."I'm pretty sure I heard she's in some sort of high level mathematics PhD program at some prestigeous CA university!"it's easier to get a divorce than it is to get a marriage license....." Ahhh..... I don't think so ....

        1. Ryan_C | Nov 25, 2001 02:09am | #4

          *The building I work in is mostly women, nurses.My wife never worries about me leaving her...she knows no one else would ever put up with me.Till death do us part 'cuz no body else would have me.

          1. Pi | Nov 25, 2001 02:15am | #5

            *Maybe I should clarify.....One can "choose" to get a divorce and one has to go through all sort of legal loops to get a license....I know how difficult emotionally it is to go through a divorce, I've been there......I hope "Winnie" is a mathematician...

          2. Daryl(Newf)_Ferguson | Nov 25, 2001 02:31am | #6

            *...The really weird thing here is I have a BSc in Math, [double minor in Sociology & Physcology[sic & B. F.Skinner is one of my mentors,but the MEDS I am on make my spelliong worse,, not sppelling,doubleplusgood]...[grin]......You get the Picture......(this took a long time...I'm slow...)......n...

            *no meds fer me... so nuttin wrong wit my spelling..BTW...<>so solly... traditional coke was a 6 oz bottle...and i would guess that some 3d world countries still have bottling plants that wash & refill...hey, when coke went to war in WWII , where did they get all the bottles ?& how many still have their local bottle with the city name on the bottom?

          4. phil_eves | Nov 25, 2001 03:26am | #8

            *Winnie (Danica Mckellar, I believe) is/was recently on either Weakest Link or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

          5. Daryl(Newf)_Ferguson | Nov 25, 2001 03:36am | #9

            *...ok call me stupid, the stuff in the green bottles......[grin]......How's You & Helen???......Your cam a 3.1 pix?....Nice job, now I have to ask Pro-Dek, who I don't know, but takes a pretty "fair" pic his own self!!!......Newf(Wish I had a million dollars) the goof...

          6. Jeff_J._Buck | Nov 25, 2001 03:40am | #10

            *Never liked Winnie......she played Kevin too much.....always with the stringing along....He shoulda dumped her long ago.......either that....or she reminded me of Vicky....from middle school....I know how Kevin felt! Jeff

          7. Daryl(Newf)_Ferguson | Nov 25, 2001 04:00am | #11

            *...Jeff: I know what you mean!!!......Stay calm!!!???... ...Big day soon...Best of luck......We're pullin' for ya......Newf & Kelly......Go...

            *Yea winnie reminded me of Laura from Jr high.remember guys its takes 20 bucks to marry'em and 20,000 to divorce 'em Its cheaper to keeper. happy with my wife she has her moments but when I had the kidney operation recently she took very good care of me. i knew I was better when she started yelling at me again. love my kiddos would put them through it for anything. I wonder what ever happened to heather something or other from the fall guy... and I cant find any red mountain wine, it used cost a buck a gallon very popular in high school

          9. Daryl(Newf)_Ferguson | Nov 25, 2001 05:24am | #13

            *...It's with your Kool-Aid???......[grin]......n...

          10. Ron_Teti | Nov 25, 2001 07:45am | #14

            *I used to drink that rot gut like it was kol aid :)

            *"...My wife has always said "we will never divorce, I'll just kill ya".and verse visea.." NewfI think my wife and your wife must be sisters, is your wife Italian ? 18 years ago as we stood before the preacher, before I said I DO, she wispered in my ear "Just remember we don't divorce our husbands we bury them."

          12. mark_cadioli | Nov 26, 2001 12:49am | #16

            *Woody Allens view of divorce,i We used to argue and fight, we finally decided, we either take a vacation on Bermuda or get a divorce, one of the two things, and we discussed it very maturely, and we decided on the divorce, 'cause we felt we had a limited amount of money to spend, y'know. A vacation in Bermuda is over in two weeks, but a divorce is something that you'd always have.

          13. diddidit_ | Nov 26, 2001 07:39pm | #17

            *Another, I think from Rod Stewart:i I'm never getting married again - I'm just going to find a woman I don't like and buy her a house!did

            *Our marriage license was easier to get than a passport or a drivers license, all of which are millions of times easier to get than a building permit in LA.-- J.S.

          15. Mike_Gabriel | Nov 27, 2001 08:34pm | #19

            *AHH, BF Skinner, he certainly raised quite a ruckus, but he had the wherewithal to answer questions nobody else dared...

          16. Tara_Gabriel | Dec 09, 2001 07:35pm | #20

            *Whatever happened to "New Coke" and why are civil servants becoming more and more uncivil?
