Happy Anniversary to Timothy Sandefur and his lovely girlfriend, Erin. Nice to see I'm not the only one who gets all mushy and sappy despite my reputation for sober and cynical thinking. It happens to the best of us, ya know. Even HL Mencken, the uber-cynic who once defined love as "the delusion that one woman differs from another", fell in love with Sara Haardt, courted her for 7 years and married at the age of 50. All men eventually fall before the charm and power of women, of course, but you could at least have tried to hold out until you hit 30, Timothy!

I've seen some stupid people in my life, but this one just may take the cake. A woman in California was shot 4 times by her boyfriend. He and his family then held her hostage, refusing to take her to the hospital. The idiot who shot her happened to mention to a family friend that he was holding his…
Congratulations Tim and Erin!!
She is absolutely lovely Tim:-)
"Happy Anniversary"
Ah young love. Happy anniversary to Tim and Erin! Menchen, for once in his life was wrong; and I'm not sure he really believed it when he said it. He found love just in time however. I'm, unfortunately at that "Grocho Marx" point in life where I wouldn't go out with any woman who would go out with me. I'm too old and too poor and would doubt the sanity of any woman desiring my company.
See...my old fingers and eyes failed me. I don't know my h from my k. Mencken of course, was the one who was wrong about women.
