Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

what do u think is a good age to get married??
Click to expand...

I think it varies, too, but I also think it's good to experience life a bit before marriage. Especially life *outside* of college. College is sort of a fantasy place for most because a) parents pay for it (notice I said most, not all), b) people don't party like that in the real world and still be successful, c) real-life is 24/7 not 9:30-10:45am T/R with 3 exams and a final.

that's just my short perspective.

I don't think there is a "right" age. I have never been married, or even in a really serious relationship for that matter, so take my thoughts about this with a big grain of salt. I have had the opposite personal experience than Molly in terms of friends - I have friends that got married when they were 18/19/20 who are still very happily married 10-15 years later.

My thoughts are that, if you have found the right woman for you, get married when you are ready. Don't let med school stand in your way, because your career can always take over your life. Residency is not any easier than med school - if anything it is worse in terms of hours away from home. And I think when you are a "young" attending, putting you in your 30s at least, things are still very demanding as you are getting used to total independence, starting a practice or academic career, whatever. I am 28 and a resident, but if I find a man who I love and I think is "right" I will get married very quickly and not wait.

thats a very interesting perspective..thanks for the input..i think that anyone will marry a doctor so if i wait until i finish everything i can marry anyone..rather if i get married in med school then love is what will keep us together because we will def go throuh hard times and if she sticks to me through hardships in med school then we can def live 2gether forever..just my 2 cents..

Here is Molly's mostly unsolicited and extremely biased opinion on marriage, especially for you young'uns out there:

I have never known anyone to lament the fact that they got married too late in their relationship. The words, "Oh, things would have been so much better had we just been married two years earlier!!!!" have not passed the lips of anyone I know.

Contrariwise, I do not have one friend that was married before the age of 25 that is still married to that person today (n is roughly 10 or so, I haven't kept perfect track). I myself am exhibit A for the problems that can come from an early marriage. My friends who married later, however, have pretty good track records.

Obviously, people can marry young and do very well -- I'm certainly not trying to imply that it is impossible, or even terribly unlikely. But, honestly, I think that if there is a smidgen of doubt in your head... if there is even one factor that would prompt you to consider waiting... and especially if friends, loved ones, or family members are urging you to reconsider... it is wise to wait. Ask yourself what you have to lose by waiting... if the person truly loves you, you won't really be losing anything at all.

Believe you me, being divorced before the age of 24 is not something I would wish on anyone.

As I said, this is highly biased, and take it for what it's worth. 🙂

Very sage advice 🙂

I was going to say something along the lines to encourage waiting, but I didn't have anything I could really pin it down to. I'm oldish (25) and a lot of my friends are starting to get married, but they're at the point in their lives that they are settling into long term jobs and relatively stable lives. Me, I don't know where I'm going to be in a year. Med school is a definate challenge, and if you can keep a relationship going strong during such a tumultous time, then you've probably got a keeper. For me, I gotta figure my own stuff out first before I bring anyone else into it. But that's just my own $0.02

How far do you have to commute if you don't mind me asking? What about with bad weather conditions? Snow?
Click to expand...

Sorry, I missed your response. I don't have to commute very far at all. I live in a smallish city and campus is right near the downtown. I could walk...campus is 10 mins walking distance, groceries about 15. A bike just speeds things up. If I need to get further than that, I just take the bus. We have a bus pass included in our student fees at a reduced price.

I have a house, but no pets. I would sort of like to have a pet, but would have to get something like fish. I think about it now and again but always end up deciding against it.
Click to expand...

I share my landlords pets, but it's not the same (2 dogs and a cat). I was seriously considering getting a few small fish, but I often go away for a week at a time and I'm afraid they'd die.

If I could get a pet, I'd probably start with a cat. They are usually pretty independent and low maintainance.
