Marriage in 2011 Agree or Disagree ???????

 

What do you think about getting married in 2011? And can it work now? I think getting married is wonderful especially  when the two involved are ready to make a real commitment .  Marriage , to me is when you both understand going the bed angry is never good.  When learning how to compromise and listening are powerful tools in your relationship. Knowing your role in the marriage.  And my personal favorite just being quite. I had a long discussion about this Friday night with some friends.  I would love to know what you think.

Your Moms Good Cooking

My mom is here from Chicago and she has not stop cooking.   I love it.   I really want to know what is a “smidgen”. What is the measurement for that. LOL  What is the measurement for a “pinch”.  Or what does it mean when she says ” I put my foot in it” ?  Help me out people.
