~~~~yipes! three kids. that's not exactly what i meant. i'm 29, and i don't plan on having kids. i'm way too selfish (reason #231), and no, i'm not changing my mind... what i meant was maybe i'm missing something in the dynamic of a married relationship and the scheduling of free time/going to shows/working one's musical taste into things, etc. and no one ever addressed the deal about going to a show with another friend (instead of going to a show by yourself, if that's a stumbling block). it just seems sort of weird to go to a show if you positively are struggling through it cause you are turned off by the artist. i mean if you really love someone, do you want to have them sit there gritting their teeth?? i want someone at the cubs game with me who truly enjoys ball..they don't have to like the *cubs*, in fact, if they don't, it will be more fun...but music...well, that's a little different... jocelyn --- Greg York wrote: > >jocelyn wrote: > > >~~~~i'm curious about this.... i AM single so maybe > >i'm missing something > > Well, you are missing the joy of 3 school-aged > children, 3 different soccer > teams, music lessons 2X/week, a spouse finishing her > degree at night school, > etc. etc. But when I say joy, I really do mean > that... > > So, what free time we can find, we like to spend > together.
