I think that a few death here and there is a fair price to pay for liberty. We don’t need to live in state a siege just to prevent some deaths.

OK. You’ve proved it. You’re absolutely clueless.
Participant[quote=walterwhite]women are different now than they were then. men are the same.
ther ewill be periods of massive discontent in most women during marriage. if you appear clingy, fearful or show any sign of fear, the woman will see it as weakness and will attempt to eat you.
a man must always appear to be ready to pick up and leave nowadays.[/quote]
Did you ever read Mme Bovary? Anyway, I hope the comment about attempting “to eat you” was a joke because it was very funny. And I’ve been married for fourteen years (3 kids) and I think my husband is great. He cleans aggressively when he is mad and he has altogether too many spare engines, exhaust systems and other items of what he calls “unobtainium,” and he thinks I have too high a tolerance for clutter and that I have too many craft supplies. But we’re very happy with each other. The comments here explain to me where the divorces come from, though.
Participant[quote=briansd1]Does happiness have anything to do with sexual attraction? What if you are really attracted to a certain type person, but you can’t find one who will like you back.

Is the “certain type person” you’re talking about a “woman”? If so, your options are probably kind of limited.
Participant[quote=walterwhite]I gotta agree in general with Brian on principle; you always have to appear able and ready to walk away from anything to appear desireable. It’s just humanity.[/quote]
I agree with you when you are talking about an arms length negotiation. When dealing with relationships that can be expressed in dollars and cents (such as in business) you always have to do your best to keep the upper hand. Achieving long lasting personal relationships, in my opinion, takes a more sophisticated approach. You need to decide whether it’s better to feel like you have the upper hand or whether it’s better in the long run to admit that you might not be perfect. My parents were married for 59 years, my husband’s parents were married for 65. I don’t think any of them ever sat around thinking about how they could act to “appear” more desirable – the trick was to actually *be* desirable, which is a lot harder. . . .

My understanding is that the home we offered on owned the easement but maintenance was the responsibility of the homes behind. Apparently, they resurfaced the road without even asking permission. Luckily they did a nice job. From what you are saying, responsibility for maintenance could have fallen to us.[/quote]Hmmm. I’m not sure whether you worded this exactly as you intended, but there is a difference between “owning the easement” and “owning land that is subject to an easement.” The first is only a right of use, the second is an actual ownership right. To make an analogy, it’s like having a right to use the health club vs. owning the health club. If I were you I’d really want to see a survey map of the property and the document that created the easement to get this cleared up. I would also recommend (very strongly) that you talk to a real estate attorney if you intend to go ahead with this transaction to make sure you get everything straight.

No worries, I’m sure some company in China will buy all the I.P./patents that this company created from the economic stimulus grants inevitably paid by taxpayers at 10cents on the dollar -( [/quote]
FWIW –
Federally funded inventions always come with an automatic paid up non exclusive license to the U.S. government. There are limitations on licensing (must try to avoid exclusive licenses, assignment to a foreign national would be highly unusual, must try to keep manufacturing of invention in the U.S. etc.). Of course, all that applies only if you are playing by the rules . . .
ParticipantBased on the information that you’ve provided here, I think you were correct and your neighbor was wrong. The definition of an easement is “the right to use the real property of another for a specific purpose.” In the case you describe, the easement benefitted the utility companies. HOWEVER, you have to be very careful to avoid an easement being created by the course of use. If you allow easement type use of your property for a sufficient period of time, an easement may be created. The laws are different in different jurisdictions, but it’s always good to let people know that although you are allowing them to cross your backyard (or whatever) you have no intent to create an easement. It’s kind of tricky . . .
ParticipantIs this actually an easement or is it what is sometimes called a “flag lot”? If you bought this property, would you own the driveway that you are talking about, or is it a small strip that is owned by other property owners? I ask this because you mention maintenance of the area; if it is owned by you with an easement benefitting the other owners, the maintenance would be your responsibility, not theirs, and you might owe a duty to them to maintain it in a safe condition. An easement will be identified on the survey map that is provided to you by the title company. You should get this clarified if you are still interested in the house.
Participant[quote=briansd1] . . . then don’t give her the satisfaction of making the first step.
Women like to play mind games. He should play better if he wants to win.[/quote]
You (as a man) seem to be pretty up on the mind games, too. Putting emphasis on something as petty as who makes the first step in something as serious as a divorce suggests that you are a bit clueless in this category. Based on the OP, it could be that the husband believes that the wife has figured out that he is having an affair. . .
A more healthy approach might be to try to find out, just for example, whether the marriage might be saved, but that is dependent on the facts of this particular situation.
ParticipantDepends on the kind of easement . . . there are so many possibilities. To name just a few there are utility easements, right of way, etc. An easement that would allow a power company to drive trucks across your front lawn would be unappealing to buyers. An easement allowing the Sierra Club to use your front yard on the nights that Halley’s comet is visible might not be an issue for most . . . A few more details would help.

Real Americans don’t like it when the new worldly foreign students come here to attend the best universities and drive Lexus to class. [/quote]You must not be a real American, then, Brian, as you have recently expressed how much you like the “worldly foreign” women, especially those with advanced degrees who aren’t too Americanized but who speak English beautifully.

Weight gains and losses, up and down, cause imflamations and great stress to the body. As Arraya would say, chronic inflamation is a systemic problem induced upon the body that causes diseases and death.If we cannot tolerate people who don’t pay their mortgages or can’t manage their money, then why should be tolerate people who over-eat and create their own health problems?[/quote]
The inflammation of chronic gingivitis is suspected to contribute to cardiac issues and may also play a part in premature birth. Should we hold people accountable for not brushing their teeth enough? What if some people are more naturally resistant to gingivitis? How should we show our “intolerance” of people who overeat or fail to brush on the schedule that others might recommend? Or those people who have children with others who have genetic diseases and bring more people into the world with genetic diseases?
I also think we should tax people for being a bit too self-satisfied.
