They say bread is life. And I make bread, bread, bread.

And I sweat.

And I shovel this dough in and out of this hot hole in the wall, and I should be soooo happy. Huh? Sweetie?

Where's my wedding?

Anyway, there've been suggestions to have a DATING thread of its own. Are you interested? If yes, let's post or reply here.

OK, so in absolute dating, there's radiocarbon dating (AKA carbon 14 dating) and accelerator mass spectrometry.  And obsidian hydration. And potassium-argon. And thermoluminescence.

If you're interested in relative dating, there's stratigraphic dating and dendrochronology.

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess.

No, I think it's because he fears death.

*sigh*  How many times am I going to have to correct this error: The OP is of the feminine persuasion.  Unless spammers, like angels, are sexless.

My he was not directed at the OP, but rather the person who informed me that all women my age want to get married and have kids.

A person of either or indeterminate gender understands one day that hu's life is built on nothing, and that's a bad, crazy day.

We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We're here to ruin ourselves and break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bulls***! Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed!

That line always does it for me. <sigh> Ah, movies, you ruin me for life.
