Participant[quote=Blogstar][quote=kev374][quote=Blogstar]If you are at all sincere about it, you should never marry someone who doesn’t believe in the water seeks it’s own level idea. Even if they think they are marrying up, that silly notion is only going to last for so long.[/quote]
What exactly is the definition of “your level” though… is it money, looks, education, something else? This is highly subjective depending on what exactly what each individual values the most in life.[/quote]
Sum total = same level, that’s the point . All the other things are just single points …not so relevant on their own , good for ego trips but they don’t build very good cases against water seeks it’s own level.
Just move on , don’t make a case against your prior girlfriend especially to other women. I personally could care less what most “Facebook friends “really think…that seem rather immature to worry about it.
Your friends don’t care what the hell happened between you and this woman and your enemies won’t believe you.[/quote]There was a great experiment involving rating different men and wmen on attractiveness. They each then post thieir average number rating on their head and then paired up in a room with lots of people not knowing their own number. I can’t remember all the parameters but everyone paired up w someone close to their rating. It had some game element where they had to select quickly.
Funny but true.
Yeah on sum I’m a 7.2 and my wife is also strangely a 7.2 total overall!!!
I used to be a 6.7 when I was younger. My wife was a 7.5 but we met in the middle later in life
Participant[quote=Blogstar]In a marriage system like our, mostly choice based, I think the issue of marrying up or down is very rare. There may be more money or apparent class issues, better looks on one side, better social skills or an imbalance of any other factor but in the end water seeks on level even when many characteristics of f the two confluent streams are different. I can think of so many cases where these issues can be seen from the outside , but if you get closer ,think about it, you understand where the balance comes in.
There are better and worse matches in marriage, but the individuals aren’t much better or worse one form the other.[/quote]
I’m pretty sure my wife would say you’re nuts and I scored.
Participant[quote=doofrat]Arghhh, I hate it when companies badger their employees for that crap. I worked at Sears way back and they were always badgering you to donate an amount of your salary to United Way. One guy I worked with gave me a great idea to donate 1 cent, his point was it would cost more for both Sears and United Way to process the penny than they’d get, so that’s what I’d do. My manager could then check it off his list that he’d badgered his employee into “donating”.
A couple of years later, it came out that the President of United Way was using the funds to fly on the Concorde and such.
The current president draws a salary of over $1,000,000.
Pretty much soured me on donating money to anybody.

i’ve been donating .25 a year to my alma mater s for about a decade. i have 2 reasons. while you’re still paying student loans, schools shouldnt solicit you for substantial sums.
more important though, is that school rankings are based in part on percentage of alumni who donate money as some marker of satsifaction or loyalty or alum network. i once got a snarky leter back froma dean saying hey hat’s up with the quarter.
i said, man, you should be mailing a quarter out to every alum with a Self addressed stamped envelope asking them to mail it back as a donation and explaining why. we could have top alum donation percentage.
ha.
huh.
costs me more to mail in my actual quearter than the donation.
ParticipantI’m worried about a lot of stuff but not this for some reason.

We have a different cat who is confident and oblivious. We get really nervous when he stays out for the night.
Income inequality. No income. Poverty. Climate change. Humanity huddled in environmental refuge camps in Alaska eating the last canned goods and tree bark.
I just hope we continue to produce Floss so I can have teeth.

the future is so bright we’re all gonna have our eyeballs irradiated and melted from the nuclear blast of debt.I’m getting tired of predicting disaster, which makes me want to think everything’s gonna be ok, but, from a contrarian point of view, it’s usually safest for me to think the opposite of what i’m thinking or want to think.
So I’m going with the melted eyeball scenario for the future.

Participantit would be interesting to see someone who was able to construct a dwelling out of old stock prospectuses, to counter the claim that you cannot live in your stock investments…
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]I knew someone would bring historical data which I was too lazy to look up…. Feel free to talk the old time San Diegans.
Maybe, in the past, people’s tolerances for having no AC was higher because they didn’t expect all the modernities we expect today.[/quote]
