So-- it looks like I may not be losing those 50 plus pounds before my wedding after all. I just found out that I'm pregnant! I'm a bit shell shocked....

Woa.... she is only asking about being in love... not about marriage, kids and the whole fireworks!

Define "real love". I think love happens in many different ways. Romantic love can last from a brief moment to a lifetime and mean a whole lot of different things. Being in love is not reason enough to get married! It is only a  part of the whole picture.

As others have said, you will change over the years. Simply enjoy being in love!  

Not all lies are created equal! In general I advocate honesty, but there are times when the better part of valour and kindness prevails. For instance, I'm not hugely concerned when my children lie to me about a chore -- that's not a big deal. What is a big deal is lying about things that really hurt someone else or are intended to hurt someone else or I know will hurt the individual lying about whatever it is they are lying about. It's all about the scale of the thing-- Lying about oh, say, finding weapons of mass destruction as opposed to lying about having sex with an intern.

 Oh that's funny. I get a kick out of menus at Chinese restaurants but I'd be irritated if it were a daily thing at work! There was a lot of funny stuff during the Olympics. I'll have to see if I can find some links to sign translations gone wrong...

 Perfect! I just laughed so hard I think I wet myself. You owe me pants.

 Lmao..what do you expect? Since this isn't a letter of recommendation or what ever and just an on line forum people tend not to care so much about how they type or present their words. :P

But the problem as I see it, is that people get so used to saying things the wrong way that when it comes time to be formal, they often forget how to do it right. At my office, I can't tell you how many times we've decided to not go with a service of some sort because of this very lack of attention to detail. The particular example cited in this thread talks about that very thing-- people misuse the word "loose" so much that it's hard to tell if they actually know the right version. Also, who knows who might eventually be reading your posts at some future date? Now this is my personal opinion and I fully expect a lashback, but I think when folks don't even give a minimal effort to grammar and spelling (now I'm not talking about the occasional typo), it appears as though they lack intelligence-- whether or not that is actually true.

Finally, so what if this is a repeat thread? It's obviously an issue that bothers a lot of people. If you're not interested in this topic, then why post?

boy I wish I drank!

 You must drink something! Some iced green tea perhaps? Sans virtual booze?

Here's a case of my preferred poison.

A little vodka and soda water over ice is nice too (Voddies).

Of course I'll be running a tab.

*hands java her car keys*

Please put those in the blender.

Since I just lost my job, I may as well move in here.

 I'm very sorry to hear about your job loss! Drinks are all on me!
