Happiness is getting on your bike with a full tank of gas, picking a random direction, and going wherever the roads take you while not having a care in the world to bother you.

I agree. It should basically be 50/50, but in some situations one is better to handle it than the other. For instance, if I had a daughter and she got to that certain age where things are..... changing.... I'll pass that matter on to the other half. Now if the car or something around the house is broken, I got that!

But, they end in good stories. No good story ever started with "Let me finish my milk and not look into that gas can with a lighter to see better.".

Some of the best stories ever involved the words "Trust me"!

Soufie would be correct to what I was referring to. You can also get that number by hovering over their username and looking at the url that pops up (their number is the last digits of the url). However, you have to do a bit of legwork and comparing to get the exact date.

Looks to me that you did.....

I think most people try to avoid fines.

Also be sure that you're clicking on your actual mail and not an ad.

Well, in a way, maybe. They shouldn't make you unhappy though.

Untapped my a$$. I'm making a killing off of The Donald!

Sounds like solid logic to me!

Isn't the BASIC template just not to kill the other (unless you have a good place to hide the body and a very good alibi)? BASIC went out in the 80's though.....

Maybe those AOL disks they kept sending in the mail will come back again. I could use more coasters.

You're welcome to take any that I find in my shower drain.

Easy answer is, there is no easy answer. All people, therefore, all relationships, are going to be different, so each has their own answers.

If you're not happy, you shouldn't be in it. Period. In practically every relationship there's gonna be some give and take, but if there's a LOT of it, seems to me that your partner isn't your perfect match and you're just settling. If you constantly have to put a lot of focus into keeping the other happy, there's something wrong because obviously they aren't happy with who you are.

Sweet! Then that'd mean that I'm one step closer to not being 30-40 years behind the times! Then again, they say that sooner or later everything comes back into style, so maybe all these years I've just been ahead of the times..... Maybe I just gotta get me one of them Deloreans with a flux capacitor.....

And what happened to the first 12?

Actually, there is a way, but it's not as simple as just looking at a date.

The spiral CFL's do last quite a bit longer (at least for me). I started using them a few years ago after somebody gave me a box for free. I've noticed particularly in my downstairs (where I typically leave lights on 24/7) that they last a LOT longer than the ol' regular type. I live next to train tracks so the vibration from that was REALLY killing bulbs pretty fast. The CFL's seem fairly immune to it. I've also found that they work nicely in drop lights. Ya know, the kind you use when working on cars. Use regular bulbs in those and they break if you just breathe on them wrong and the 'special' bulbs meant for that are SUPER pricey. The CFL's don't seem to mind getting bounced around (and to a point, dropped....).

I'm not so sure about them being good for the environment though. Yeah, they last longer meaning they'll be less in landfills and use less energy to use, but look what they're made out of and what it takes to make them vs incandescent bulbs. The CFL's have little circuit boards (likely not very eco-friendly) and has mercury (highly poisonous) as well as phosphorus (also potentially quite dangerous) in them.
