Good poll!

After 25 years of marraige. The top four for me. I'm kind of nutty at times. I have an unusual sense of humor but I tend to laugh in the face of a crisis. I don't really get uptight about stupid shit. Mainly because it is stupid shit. But none of that really has anything to do with this thread.

Love? It is really cool! My wife and I have worked together on just about everything in our marraige. Maybe that is why we lasted. Actually, I would say that is probably the main reason it has. We never had a lot of outside interference from family because my vocation had me going all over the country so we had to "stick" together to make things work.

What the hell. Just my thoughts...

Love is driving 900 miles wearing diapers so you don't have to stop to pee, in order to confront your backdoor man's other girlfriend at the airport with pepper spray, rubber tubing, a bb pistol, steel mallet, a wig, trashbags, and other acoutrements of kidnapping and disposal.

To be fair, the nut job only took the bb gun, pepper spray, and wig with her to the airport. The other stuff she left at the hotel.

Probably hoping to lure the other woman back to the hotel room before snuffing her...

My mother once told me when I was a kid that "Love is never having to say your sorry." I think she believed it, too, even though it did come from a sappy movie from the late 60's or early 70's or something. I never heard her once apologize to my dad.

Love is complete acceptance.

The movie was Love Story. A classic. I don't agree with the line though. I understand the idea, but I don't think it's fair to limit yourself that way.

"I'm sorry I crashed the car honey"

"That's ok darling. I know it was an accident"

"Yes, but I'm still sorry because it's going to be an inconvienience to us till it gets fixed"

"Well I'm sure it will be. You don't have to be sorry, but I'm glad you appreciate how this will put me out"

I think there's different reasons to say you're sorry. It doesn't have to be a concilliatory thing. It can simply be an acknowledgement of anothers patience.

Yeah, yeah, yeah......until the next time you're smitten with some tight buns.



aside, would smitten be derived from smite? Way different meaning.

Smitten is an inflected form of smite. Which is from the Old English word for "smear or defile."

That's nuts, looking at 19 dictionaries, probably 2/3 of them have the first definition of smitten one I'd never heard.
I'd only seen, and used, smitten as meaning, "to impress favorably; charm; enamor", or, "having suddenly started to like or love something or someone very much".
Until my last post here, I'd never made the connection between smite and smitten. Learn something new every day.
