My lucky numbers are 4-24-99

I think it's hilarious and slightly disturbing that people – any people – think getting married on 7-7-07 will bring them some kind of luck. When tying the knot, the most imporant number would be 1, as in finding the right one. It matters not on what date people marry, just that they're marrying the right person at the right time in both their lives. And even having all those right doesn't give anyone a guarantee for a healthy, strong marriage. People change. Things happen. Thinking that the date of the event amounts to anything but trivia is stupid beyond belief.

There's nothing wrong with getting married tommorrow, so long as the main reason the date was chosen is that it falls on a Saturday, or that it is kind of "fun" or whatever. We all know people married on Wednesdays are esentially doomed for divorce.

And now, for married couples who love to argue ...

According to two studies published this week, men and women talk about the same amount. What the research does not show is that some people, regardless of sex, basically have nothing to say but use up large amounts of silence and oxygen talking about worthless crap. My own study shows that these are people who wear those wireless headsets for their cell phones, turning themselves into mindless, self-important robots. Sans headset, they are the folks who can't motor out of their driveways without gluing a phone to their ears. This obnoxoius behavior is bound only by the human imagination.
