- I am 54-44-1 against all teams all weeks. 3-6 against the teams I've played. - spamlet Nov 6, 06:43 2

- I'll be interested to see this response -- nm - Beakraker Nov 6, 06:43 1
  - i'll post on next board. -- nm - Deev Another Day Nov 6, 06:43
- use a vibrator instead of getting off on money - dogbert Nov 6, 06:42
- I always find it amusing when people think their adult lives have to be exactly like their family growing up. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 06:41
- 'which I view as irresponsible and passive' is like the hallmark of ignorant privelege. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 06:40 2
  - yeah, that's obnoxious. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 06:45 1
    - I agree but contend (see below) that's it's the result of a very limited world experience to date, one she may be growing out of -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 06:47
- She wants out but has not found a tangible reason. This is the best rationale she has found. -- nm - David Nov 6, 06:40
- Woe is her. How awful to grow up without a single care. What a burden all that money and success must be. - TWuG Nov 6, 06:39
- Signed... Tagg Romney in a dress. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 06:39
- I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. She's not saying it is a problem, but she's wondering if it could become one. - ty97 Nov 6, 06:38 3
  - This is what I think too. When their relationship is far enough along, they should talk about and agree onwhat they want to spend money on and do that -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 06:41 2
    - I get the feeling she's on the fence of maturing into a 'normal' person, but this is her first venture outside of her monied world. - ty97 Nov 6, 06:44 1
      - the kids and money discussion would be interesting. they may have different values on that, but that's just a conversation to be had. -- nm - Deev Another Day Nov 6, 06:45

  - if you are talking about *their* money - he makes twice what she does. i don't get her issue. -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 6, 06:39 8
    - I'm guessing, she thinks they make good money and wants to spend it on Audis & trips to France & good times, while he wants to save for a rainy days -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 06:44 2
      - That's probably it. "What do you mean "save"!? Money doesn't run out! I learned that as a kid! If it runs out, you must be lazy and irresponsible!" -- nm - TWuG Nov 6, 06:48
      - or help his parents. Asshole. - Deev Another Day Nov 6, 06:46
    - I mean in general....both work....they come from and have different money levels...but what the hell is her issue? - Will Hunting Nov 6, 06:41 3

      - totally agree. it's a bizarre thing to be worried about - he has the qualities she says she wants, with the paycheck, Issue? None. -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 6, 06:42
    - Maybe that's the issue. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 06:41
- how are they so different? you said you both have strong work ethics. he is doing what her own father did. - Moneypandie Nov 6, 06:38
- It sounds like the spark is gone and she's digging for excuses to get out of a relationship with an objectively good guy. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 06:38 1
  - This -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 06:39
- "It's not that I'm a spoiler privileged brat, I was raised like that!" - Guigue Nov 6, 06:37
- I want to punch her -- nm - decline Nov 6, 06:37
- so what's the issue here? He's a better person than you? Deal with it -- nm - The Man With The Golden CQ Nov 6, 06:35 3
  - i can't figure it out. it sounds like she's asking for permission to dump a good relationship becasue he didn't come from money so it can't - Deev Another Day Nov 6, 06:38 2
    - it's just a bizarre entry. there's not any real problem -- nm - The Man With The Golden CQ Nov 6, 06:40
    - i know, it's a weird problem (in that, there is no problem.) -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 6, 06:39
- You are a spoiled, privileged brat. Wow how obnoxious, you do not deserve him -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 06:35
- If he's very smart, he'll git rid of you. -- nm - Loyola Nov 6, 06:34
- what a huge entitled bitch -- nm - Beakraker Nov 6, 06:34
- "I think the man of the house should do everything in his power to provide his family with a decent life." oof -- nm - amanda Nov 6, 06:34 2
  - To me, that said "daddy issues" more than entitlement. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 06:38
  - "But I'm not looking for someone to take care of me" -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 06:35
- shoot yourself. -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 06:33

      - they showed him in line ot vote this morning. he was feeling up the chick in front of him and grinning from ear to ear. - Deev Another Day Nov 6, 06:43
      - So if Biden, in a fit of rage, killed Romney, that would make Boenher the President -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 06:36 1

    - I was just commenting on the fact that typically they only happen in Aug/Sept before the school year begins. Middle of the year seems lose-lose for - Don Homer Nov 6, 06:19 1
