No matter what the loony wingnuts imagine, marriage is a financial contract. Nothing more, nothing less. As your lawyer, if you don't believe me. There is good reason that old world arranged marriages are more likely to hold up over modern romantic marriages; parents are better judges of who is a good fit than their hormone driven children.

It's not like the world needs more babies and anyone who's had teenagers knows that all that cuteness dissolves into sullen passive aggression and may or may not sort itself out when the kid is 250 and on his or her own. I will never, never understand guys who get married, get divorced, and get married again (sometimes, again and again). Learn to cook and do your own laundry. Why buy when you can rent? Stuff like that. T.W.

Another three or four inches of seat height would make that bike SO much more comfortable...<br /><br />Anyway, what bothers me in all of this is the same thing that bothers me when the folks on the woodworking forum talk about "sneaking [some purchase] past the wife." Really? You married someone who doesn't want you to have hobbies? You married someone who won't let you buy the things that make you happy? What the heck were you thinking?<br /><br />Same for the bike... Wait a minute, you married this woman WHY? Unless the reason is "Her father was pointing a shotgun at me," you may have made the wrong choice. (And if that was the reason, your wrong choice may have been made some time earlier...)<br /><br />Forget marrying someone and trying to "fix them." Why on earth would you marry someone who wants to change YOU?Andy Mckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381746284574559808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-76500345971388720262012-08-30T19:59:46.886-05:002012-08-30T19:59:46.886-05:00Seat height.

There is much irony in watching that vmax being used for camping trips and ridden w/out any knowledge of the vmax scene. Just that like goldilocks the seat was just right.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
