I got "invited" to hike.

“well on Jan 15th it will be 16 years for tree an myself since we got married.

Marrage ROCKS!
better if your partner likes to backpack to. more gear!”

“There are 3 major issues that kill marrages if both sides aren't in agreement or can't find a compromise on them. Money, sex and kids.

I like marrage. Treebait and I dated for 7 years and had Laurel 5 years later. I think we settled most of the major issues before the baby got here. But a baby opens a lot of new issues.

Lots of folks give all their time and attention to the kids and forget that they were a couple first and will be a couple long after the kids leave. Ya gotta keep working on the original relationship too.

Oh heck, what do I know about divorce anyway? Hopefully nothing and that it will stay that way.”

“I think marriage is great!


cottonsocks took me to lunch and unveiled the plan to tell the couple getting married that I have a "business trip" and we have to leave Friday and won't be back until Sunday.


Looks like a quickly organized bp trip is in order. I love this woman.”

“She's a smart one that cottonsocks, you should definitely keep her!”

“Chili, just get roaring, knee-crawling, barkin'-at-the-moon drunk before the wedding and you won't have to go.”

“Get barfing drunk and puke on the dress she's planning to wear. You might have to sleep in a ditch for a few days, but at least you won't have to go to a wedding.”

“Oops, I posted that before I read your last post.

NEVER MIND!!!”

“"sleep in a ditch," LMAO!”

“sleeping in a ditch can count towards total accumulated bag nights for 2004.

if there is a day hike definetly ON, I'd like to be cued in on it...you never called. and I watched LOTR's again....boy, but this sure is fun!!!”

“"If you didn't have sex before marriage or live together before marriage then you had the highest chance of not getting a divorce..."

Dont need statistics to know that this would be the case. Certainly the very religious and very traditional are more likely to keep a marriage going for longer, no matter how unhappy that marriage is. Traditional man was a monogamist. Modern man is a serial monogamist. The difference between the two is 'bout 50 percentage points of divorce rate.”

“True chips, but I don't think staying together for the sake of staying together is a good reason to stay together.

Better to take your time finding the right person - harder part is figuring out what your really looking for in the right person. I'll say that sex tends to cloud ones judgement in that area too.”

“Boy, we've really twisted chili's thread around haven't we.”

“damn right you twisted it around....



I say cottonsocks is going hiking with stickmon and you guys immediate start a thesis on divorce...







I dont see any correlation in those two events.





However, getting drunk and pukin on her dress might have some ramifications.”

“chili, like you haven't destroyed a thread before :)”

“Hey, I am as pure as the driven snow on open prairie.”

“Before or after it is driven over the cow flop?”

“However, getting drunk and pukin on her dress might have some ramifications."

Let's blame Dub, he's the one that brought the whole marraige thing.

Yeah, it's Dub's fault.”

“yeah he started it by saying he wanted to try marriage...LMAO”

“DUB....marry someone with like intrests......it makes it alot more fun......My dating rules state that the guy has to LOVE to camp ,and would consider backpacking...LOl..I sure can't see me married to a non packer & allowing me to go with you guys...LOL....”

“You do not have to go to the wedding b/c WE will be off B/P somewhere. The business trip plan worked!!! yeeeepppppeeeeee


However we will Not be staying at home this weekend I really need to hit a trail.






How much do you love me??????”

“where are we going and who wants to join?”

“I think we may need to scout out LBL.”

“sounds ok with me!!”

“Yep, it's all my fault the thread degressed to something else. But all I said that it was interesting watching the married couples on TT interact! A good learning experience for the unmarried man.”

“There is a God in Heaven.

No wedding. We are going backpacking. Big Hill Pond State Park is close and I have been wanting to scout it out. WooHoo!”

“by cottonsocks!!!

I think I'll just stay home and watch LOTR again. bummer...”

“I reckon I'll give up on finding me a b!tch. Chicks these days seem so... I dunno... uppity?

Pffffft...
what's up with these skanks any more?

*scrambling under truck using Gizmo to shield myself from kicks and blows*”

“LOL!!!!!!!”

“Did gojo just call lizs a skank?”

“Now now, gojo.
lizs is coming all the way to Ocala to see you. ;)”

“Skanky Beaches...now that's a topic.”

“#%$%$$%$#$%%$@%$#@!!!”

“I think I understand your point, Lizs.”

“Gojo better be careful. Lizs might have to break out a can of whoop a$$ on him when she gets there.”

“Did I tell ya the guy SUCKS at bowling??? And he didn't really break through the ice of Coon Creek, although he did send poor, poor leetle Gizmo out there to test it!

He better watch out in his furnace work at the ole trailer today. It might be set up to blow and leave no evidence. (I mean, I do know Crazy Mike, ya know!! LOL)

;-P”

“From The Decorah Daily Disturbance:


Trailer Burns, Dogs Suspected

Firefighters responded to a trailer fire on Route 7 this morning to find only pieces scattered about, all asmold.

Two dogs were seen leaving the scene by the same person that alerted the authorities. Hours later, the vehicle, a 1998 Toyota Tacoma, was found in the parking lot of the PetSmart in Waterloo. When sheriffs deputies entered the store, one of the dogs, a one Sara Belle of Georgia, was found looting the complimentary biscuit tray, as the other, Gizmeaux, was found wrestling a ferret.

According the Belle, the truck belonged to her father, also of Georgia.

"Me and my hubsand Gissmaeioux was smellin stinky rats byside the tree and my daddy was in side the hous and we heerd a BIG boom like a riffel and the hous was gone and my daddy to (we seen his hed, tho) so I sayed 'I am verry hungry for a snak' and Gissmaeioux sayed 'me to' so we got in the truk and rode to PetStor".

The dogs were released on their own recognizance.

Witnesses also said they noticed a vehicle with Indiana license plates speeding erratically about, but it's not know at this time if said vehicle has any bearing on the price of tea in China.”

“LMFAO!!!”

“LMAO”
