Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

I think VTE and Krakosky just agreed to a marriage of convenience.

 

[Krakosky]

It's only convenient b/c we'll be living in different parts of the country. Lol

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

It's good to know I have the same consistent effect on women as ever. I'm an engineer, routine and predictability are good.

 

[Krakosky]

It'll be even more convenient if the convention is in Vegas...

 

[csb]

Hey, this one doesn't want half your stuff! Glass half full, eh?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I'm more of a glass is shattered on the floor and I ripped up my hands and feet cleaning it up sort of person.

I am glad though that all my new shit is in fact my shit. The only thing I need is a few ceiling mirrors (and carpets full of black Lab fur) and my bachelor pad will be complete.

We can all bring gifts!

I found being an engineering major to be a little like a signed up for a creepy dating service. I was surrounded by a lot of single guys, but it was a crap shoot.

That said, I married an engineer

 

[Krakosky]

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that's what it's going to come down to. I will need to find one of my own kind. That's why I told VT we need to have an EB.com dating service. Even tho most everyone seems to be married. Guess I'll hit up the young and unsuspecting noobs.

From what I've seen, a lot of engineers seem to marry young for some reason. . . my guess is they aren't comfortable with uncertainty? Even of the engineers that come into my company straight out of college some are already married and most of the rest are engaged or become engaged in a year or two. Kinda strange if you ask me.

Being 34 and never married makes me a bit of an oddball around here.

I wonder what the divorce rates are like...

According to that it's best to marry an optometrist.

I'm 29 and never been married. I do have a girlfriend though, but she's about to move to Anchorage for work. She's pissed that I won't follow her down there, but I ain't living in any larger of a city than I do now. We'll try the long distance thing (about a 6 to 7 hour drive time) and see how it goes. Most of my co-workers (several younger than I) are already married or engaged.

 

[Krakosky]

I'm not too far behind you, mudpuppy. I'll be turning a less than desirable prime number here shortly. I've never been married or engaged. A bunch of people I know (friends, ex, ex friends, cousins) got engaged this year. But most of them don't have an established career like I do. They will have to rely on their hubbies financially which is something I never wanted to do. So if I could trade with them, I wouldn't.

You're too young to be pulling the ole cougar-in-a-sleezy-bar routine.

And some of the nastiest humidity on the planet (Houston)...

I prefer snow. Can't snowshoe (or downhill ski) when it's 90.

This.

Also after reading some of the most recent posts, are we going to have to suit up and hit the 24-hour chapel for the first ever EB.com wedding during the convention? Only if there is free cake and booze. :thumbs:

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I can't guarantee free booze, but I'm pretty sure Big Ray could track us down some $2 pints...

 

[pbrme]

I just got married after 32, in my circle I'm the older one.

And here I am at 32 getting ready to celebrate my 11th wedding anniversary and my son's 7th birthday, after watching my daughter turn 5 last month...

This is true. I married shortly after getting my BS, after dating for less than a year. Then I moved upstate to go to grad school without him. We're both engineers, and I think we couldn't handle the uncertainty of waiting even though it meant a long-distance marriage. That and we're devout Christians who were reeeaaaallly looking forward to finally getting boom boom in the bedroom. :eyebrows:

 

[csb]

I married at 24. I think engineers might run the calculations of marriage too, and decide sooner that it's a go/no-go for launch.

 

[YMZ PE]

Hopefully those calculations don't involve a factor of safety of 2...
