This is the only website that I have ever looked at and actually stated aloud,
"You've got to be shitting me."
I "stumbled" this website and read about 18 "things" and had to stop. My main problem with this whole concept is that I can't really comprehend why this guy would still be with this woman. They aren't married, nor do they seem to be engaged. They possibly have a child together, but since when has that stood up as a reason for people to stay together in the last ten years.
Of course, this brings me to a group conversation I had with some peers today. Many of the people in my program are married, engaged, or in a long-term relationship. "Many," of course, means "almost everyone but me." Like, there's me and then there's one other guy who, well, let's just say that the dwainker knows this cries-while-begging-his-advisor-to-let-him-in-the-program guy. Don't get me wrong, I get along okay with this guy, but he got rejected from the program fair and square, then had to whine and cry his way in. Of course, given someone else who got into the program fair and square, this guy deserved to be in compared to her.
Anyway, so, it's odd because I'm not really jealous of these people who are attached. It's kind of nice, considering the year of hell that I'm walking into, that I don't really have to worry about being home at a certain time, or waking someone up when my alarm goes off extra early, or having to call someone the instant I get a free moment. Some call it freedom; I'm not sure what I think. I generally prefer being single, I guess, but there are moments, and sometimes people, who make me think otherwise.
Well, at least that gives me hope that I have the sense to get away from a person like Margaret if I ever find someone like her. I mean, the kitchen door? How to pronounce Jonathan? Problems with using a mirror to shave? I know that this crap isn't made up. Nobody has that much free time.

okay, that is the funniest site i've seen in a while. i nearly shat myself laughing on a couple of those. for example:
I came home from work on Friday and, as I wearily opened the door into the house, Second Born, Peter, heard me entering and poked his head out of the living room.
'Hello, Papa - I've missed you,' he shouts. From within the living room Margret's voice calls out to him 'No you haven't, Peter.'
You're all up for testifying for me in court, right?
now THAT'S funny! i must have my stumble set with very different interests than yours. mine are too political...
