Pay attention to your date at a restaurant. How do they treat the staff that waits on them? It's a good indication of the true personality.

If you wouldn't marry her mother don't marry her.

I don't a accept this, if my daughter is going to bring home a boy she wants to keep for a while, I will take the effort, (very slight) to look slinky and seductive, well aged and desirable.

Wisdumb... thinking of something stupid but resisting the temptation to say it.
Happiness is like moonshine. Make your own and you'll never run out. But keep in mind that life is not a playground. It's a classroom where you get the test first and the lesson after.
